Happy Easter Everyone!

Hey John - good to see ya! Happy Easter to you too !!!

LMBO... tell him that its supposed to make girls.... H O T !

Me too, Pat. :biggrin1: MAJOR withdraws :biggrin1: Glad the Easter Bunny gave our treat back! :clap2:

I was just looking up some info and I saw a post by Kare.... I think she is now on the Missing Person's list. Kare, you there? (hey, that rhymes LOL)

AWESOME thread idea! ok so no secret I LOVE FOOD! meeeee too Michelle. And my scale shows it. Lately this has been my regular pick-up at Walmart: Dannon carb control yogurt - 60 cal's per cup/ 3 nt carbs (It comes in a 4 pk - I usually eat at least 2 - sometimes all 4) My other regular's are baaaaaad news - so Im not going to list em! :biggrin1:

Kim - they are getting SO cute! Marcus said they looked like ground hogs, LOL. Looking at the first picture of how the momma bunny makes a nest out of her fur for her babies... it makes me sit in awe at the instincts of "mothering". Neat how all female animals know how to nest their babies?! Kinda deep - did I make sense with this?

Crystal, If I could ever take myself serious enough - I wanna learn to belly dance. I promise to God this is truth! What kind of clothes do you wear - to learn it?

Not that Im into saving the seals (even though its a worthy cause) - I wanted to comment on this statement you made. This global warming thing is scareing the crapola out of me. Maybe its cause I live, oh -about 30 miles DIRECTLY from the Gulf of Mexico. With coastal erosion and global warming - Im thinking that my kids will -sooner or later- have to visit their "home town" under Water - like the movie Water World. I realize that Im just little ole Paula - and there is really nothing BIG that I can do about it. But Im just commenting that I -too- am quite concerned about the effects of global warming.

:bump: :bump: :bump: What are the problems that you are having? I remember Darcy/Nightingale2U has had troubles with fills. Also - Kellymoos (moderator & recently unbanded), Alexandra (also a moderator).... these are the ones that come to my immediate attention. Im bumping this thread because there are other older bandsters that have had problems with their level of fills. Maybe they will see this thread and add to it?

Michelle, Just curious - did your doc prescribe you any meds (like prilosec) after band removal? (for short or long term use) When I had an stomach ulcer (years back) MY stomach HURT. Constant dull ache - and when I ate something that was a no-no, I had diarrhea - and/or the stomach pain increased. Back then (1992) Prilosec was the best on the market - and thats what he prescribed. I was better in no time. Anyway, isnt an erosion similear to a stomach ulcer?

Gettinghealthy, From what I remember - anyone that was OVER 250 pounds should have a pre-op diet. They say that the diet lessed the fat around the liver - making the surgery an overall easier experience.... for both, surgeon and patient.

Harley Nana recommended these to me - and they could be considered a mushy... those Reeses choc. Peanut Butter eggs. Definately a mushy food. :biggrin1: :biggrin1: hehehe - sorry! :speechles Dont worry, Chriselda, its just another day. The world is what has made this day one of the biggest feasting days on our calender! Try not to center this day around the family's feast - but on spending good time together. The canned soups will bring the salty for you, and try having yogurt for your sweet.

AMEN! All I keep thinking about it Chris's wife and kids - home alone :uwelcome: . I wonder if they knew what they were getting themselves into. And how are they getting financial support if the breadwinner is in "Hollywood" for 4 or 5 months, singing weekly for America? Does the show pick up their mortgage note? (LOL - yeah, right!) But there is/was Bucky, Elliot and Chris - all married - with families to support. Anybody else think of this kind of stuff?

j.s., please tell us more about your brother. Has he managed to keep the weight off? Michelle, I read where Lisa said that HER stomach is acting crazy too. Gosh y'all, what next? :phanvan

Billy Blakes kicks MY butt too, Kristin! So I solved that little problem, I just dont visit with him any longer. Simple enough. :Banane04: Now, I just cant figure out WHY Ive been on a year long plateau.......

Bye Bye Bucky. Bottom 3 were Ace, Elliot and Bucky. Got home just in time to see who was eliminated - only thing I cared about! Kim, I cant believe you didnt think Taylor was great last night? im shocked. Janet, I agree about Katharine going a step down - and the BAND not recognizing it... duh! Were'nt they there to make the singers sound their best! I dunno - Queen hasnt ever been my "thing". Freddie's teeth - something about em bothered me. And yes! the wardrobe people went a little overboard on the black. ((((I thought I as the only one that noticed that)))) Mikey, wow. You know youre stuff! Glad Im not the only one that notices Chris's voice. I asked my Mike (also singer but not a professional like you :Banane04: ) if Chris made it do that OR if it was natural (the vibrato shakey sound). He said it depends - could be both? hmmm ...and I see you are as equally fond of Ms. Pickler as the majority of us. :biggrin1: Elizabethsew, WELCOME to the AI thread! I cracked up when I read this, I didnt like the way she looked either... but then, i dont really lcare for her in general. Cindy, you cracked me up too - Now that you say it, I see it too! LOL - too funny! Whats the theme for next week?

Yeaah!!! LBT is gonna have another band-baby! Congratulations!

I posted THEN read what "Gurley" said. So I scrolled up and saw that Mary and Tricia ALSO lost 4 pounds in one week! :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: PEOPLE! What are yall doing??? Cant keep secrets around here, its against the LBT law. You MUST tell, or we'll lock you in the closet with loads of Easter candy! :biggrin1:

Susan, Im in awe! you've lost 4 pounds in ONE week? :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: A BIG WOO HOO to you!

Last Easter, we had a big family meal with relatives that I hadnt seen in a while. After everyone was gorged to death with the main course - then it was time for dessert! My size 6 cousin was ahead of me in the dessert line. While I was eyeing 3 different sweet's (thinking of getting a small spoonful of each - even though I was absolutely NOT hungry) - my size 6 cousin served herself a regular piece of only one of the choice cakes (reminding you that there were several things to chose from). We found a spot to sit, visit and eat our Desserts. Me - I devoured mine. ALL OF IT. My size 6 cousin, took 2 bites from her plate then stopped eating. Had the plate in front of her WITH THE REMAINING DESSERT and never touched it again. She was "full". Thats why she didnt eat any more. She was full. She didnt nibble on it. She didnt swipe her finger in it. Didnt touch it again - because she was FULL! This memory stayed with me for a year. WHY has SHE been given the ability to know HOW to stop eating when she is no longer hungery. Just thought it added to the question you were asking Sue. Why do some get it - and others dont? Banded or not.

A lot of MY problem with overeating is that whatever Im eating taste SOOOOO good - that I dont wanna stop. Almost like the sex-fene that never gets enough! Penni - I see myself in you in too many ways. If Im ever "de-banded", there will be NO stopping me.

Even though I laughed out loud at this - I'm voting to see boobies pics too. Happy A-Day Kathy! I know who's gonna get some tonight!!! I weighed today. Do I HAVE to post it?

Now this is interesteing... I thought Taylor was the best. I really did. And is there anyone else not into Chris's shakey voice? I know its a verbrato thing (or what ever its called), but it gets to me after a while. JanetC - what are you and Mikey thinking of this? Katharine was good. She needed a good night. Gave me chills on her high notes, but like Randy said - had pitch problems every now and then. Im really liking Elliot.

oh no ~ Im so SO sorry! If it makes you feel any better, I *think* Philip is "normal" now. Its been since Saturday? that weve poopooed in the BIG potty. I must admit, the memories Im gonna have of my baby boy walking in circles around the yard holding on to the waist of his shorts, trying to find a spot to squat - these memories are priceless (I shouldve gotten it on video). ...but its when he did the deed with a yard FULL of neighborhood kids. Now THAT was a prozac moment! Hey Kathy! How's little Tyler doing with the BIG potty?
