  1. Welcome to LBT, and good luck with your journey!
  2. Wow, I guess your doctor is more stringent, I have never heard of anyone doing only Water for 5 days. It is so important to get your Protein in, I'm glad he is letting you have that. Jello is considered a liquid, along with beef broth and chicken broth. The jello and popcicles helped me a lot, but then I was only on liquid for 2 weeks. You have 5 days to go, you have made it this far, so maybe you can just handle 5 more days. If not, then I would definately call your doctor and ask if you can do some Soup or something. Good luck to you!
  3. Welcome to LBT and congrats on your surgery date! Your day will be here before you know it! Good Luck!
  4. Welcome to LBT and to bandland! It gets better with each day. Good luck right back at you!

  7. Welcome to LBT and to bandland! You'll get lots of support and information here. Take your time and read all the old as well as the new threads and you'll gain lots of information!
  8. That sounds yummy, thanks for sharing it!
  9. I can't advise you on this but just wanted to wish you good luck. We have several bandsters on there that can advise you, just be patient, someone will jump in and help you out. Good Luck!
  10. Sherry - I hate the time change too, I wish they would set it one place and leave it. Just when I get used to one way they change it to another. One hour doesn't make that much of a difference!
  11. Good Morning Y'all! I am much better today! Thanks for all the well wishes. Pat - I have taken those orange pill things and it was awful. I had to get rid of all my undies after that one! They have new stuff now and it is great. Only one pill a day and you start noticing it right away. Amazing! I have to take them for 7 days. I have to remember to drink my Water, especially here in Tx in the summer time. It seems like everytime I slack off in the water dept. then I get one of these things. They told me the last time I had one and it was really hot out that they occur more in Texas because of the heat and people not getting enough hydration. I looked back at the last few days and I wasn't drinking water much at all. I usually drink it all day long, but since it was cold I was drinking coffee and tea (hot) and not much water at all. Do we ever learn? Eileen - Sorry about the bad day, been there and done that and it's not fun at all. Hang in there sweetie! They say adding soy to your diet really helps, although I never tried it. Kat - I hope you got to enjoy your dinner out with DH boss. Heck if it gets too bad just take it out and tell people you are having work done. Don't suffer missy! Diane - Enough relaxing, come on and tell us about your trip. They had an article about the place we are going in today's paper. It was neat to read some of the stuff. I can't wait for our trip. Well, going to go get some laundry done and some cleaning done if I can. Catch you all later!
  12. Hello Y'all! Came home from work yesterday with a really bad UT infection. I thought I was going to die. I was starting to bleed it was so bad and it hit me so fast! I called the doctor as soon as I got home and he sent me some meds. I was so glad I didn't let it go into the next day because I was crying every 15 seconds while sitting on the potty. The meds were wonderful and the bad pain has already stopped. Now I am just weak and tired. Kat - Sorry you are having so much pain witht he teeth. That can be miserable. Sure hope you feel better! Sending good luck to you on the PS approval! Pat - A size 10! Wow, what I wouldn't give to be in your shoes! I am so proud of you missy! Eileen - Hey girl, we all have days that we just can't do another thing. I bet your DD thought she had a real treat getting that dog! Sherry - That is a lot of hours girl! You need to pass some of that work around. Diane - You sound like you are having a wonderful time! Enjoy evey minute of it! Mandy - How are you and Abi doing? Well, going to go and lay down some more. Catch you all later.
  13. Just sticking my head in to say hello. Sorry about not being here much just been really busy. It is cold and we got snow here. I am going to leave early for work as the roads are icy in spots. 80' one day and 27 the next! I can't believe the weather this year. I am ready for summer. Catch you all later!
  14. Good Morning Y'all! What a difference in weather! It was great all weekend, near 80, we went riding and worked outside. This morning it's raining/storming and it's going to get down to 32 tonight. Yikes! No wonder everyone is sick! Pat that is too funny on the salad! So, are you all healed up now? Kat hope you had a fun ride! Mandy glad Abi is doing so good! Sherry I still haven't heard anything about the search button. Jessica good morning to you! Diane I hope you are having a wonderful time and drink one for me! Eileen - Hey girlie! Did you build a snowman? Later gals!
  15. Pat - My hug is there too, tons of them! Relax girlfriend, this happens all the time and it usually doesn't amount to anything at all! Please don't worry yourself sick over this. More than likely it is a hemroid that is showing it's a$$! I know it's hard, but keep busy and forget it! Kat - good luck! Keep us posted!
  16. Good Morning Y'all! Well I had a great time trying on all my stuff, then when DH got home tried it all on again and showed him! lol It was such a beautiful day yesterday, it hit the high 80's, and today it's only going to be in the 50's! I just wish it would warm up and stay warm. Diane - I need to learn those words! I don't speak any spanish at all! I would love to learn it though. As far as Ice Cream, it gets the best of most of us! I know you are getting so excited about going! Kat - Glad you didn't have to make that trip and miss your appointment. I am anxious to hear what the doctor tells you! Gina - I don't mind fills at all, but my friend says her doctor hurts her everytime. Hmmmmmm. Mandy - How is that new car doing? Have you drove it much? Pat - I am happy for you that you get to see your g-son. Some women can be such bit$hes! Enjoy! Well, guess I best get off here and start getting ready for work. I came here first this morning, so if I don't get moving I will be late. Time to shower, make my lunch and get dressed! I wish I could wear one of my Harley shirts this morning! lol
  17. Hello Y'all! I GOT THE BOX! I am so excited, I got the box that Pat sent to me. It has all kinds of Harley shirts in it and a beautiful fringe jacket that matches my bike perfectly! I saw the box sitting at my front door when I was coming up the street, and I couldn't wait to get out front and get it. OK, I am going to go look at my stuff again! Thank you Pat, you are a sweetie!
  18. Good Morning Y'all! Almost time for me to leave, but wanted to stick my head in and say hello. I started to dress up, wear a skirt and all, got totally dressed and decided to wear slacks! So, used up all my time changing clothes. Sherry - Sorry you missed your deal yesterday! I cooked the same stuff you did, a pork loin, and a big pot of soup. Yes, I would love your recipes! I always love getting recipes, so just send them to me when you find a good one! Sherry love the tatoo's, but I bet that was painful at times. Kat - Glad you are feeling better today, just take it slow. Mandy - What a cute car! Pat - I never heard of tums for a back problem! Hmmmm, I'll have to try that one! Gina - What a beautiful dog! Well, got to run and get to work. I did get my car cleaned up yesterday! Later!
  19. Good MOrning Y'all! Busy cleaning house today, I didn't do much cleaning yesterday. It's going to be pretty today, so I want to get done early and go outside for a few anyway. Eileen - I am postive I don't want any of that white stuff! I'll send you some sunshine though! Pat - Now I am really wanting that box to come. Now that I know what some of the stuff is I want it now! You might check your receipt, usually ups does tracking on everthing even if it isn't inusred! We don't insure ours at work, but still can track them. I don't know anything about Fl, but you should check out Texas! We'd love to have you down here! Sherry - That sounds so cool! Send them down my way, I could use a make over in every part! Tee Hee! Mandy - Congrats on the new car, can't wait to see it! Kat - What's happening? Are you still coming to Texas? Well, I am going to get moving and finish up some things. I want to sweep out my car at least today, I washed it a few times this winter, but I haven't done much with the inside. I have to get it ready to put the top down! Later!
  20. Hi Y'all! KEEP THAT DANG SNOW UP THAT WAY! I want hot, hot, hot weather! Pat - That picture is priceless! I can even see that you are a little sunburned! I'm glad you had a great time! CHRISPY- "HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL" hope you have a great one! Kat - Wow, that is so cool about the book! Eileen - Your "baby" is so pretty! We had a black lab that was 19 years old when we moved down here, we couldn't bring him with us because he had arthritis in his hips and couldn't get in and out of the truck. It broke my heart to leave him there, but I didn't want to put him in any more pain with the long trip. Diane - Food issues gets the best of us all! Sherry - Do you have snow too? Well folks, going to go get some supper started and then relax. I have done the computer thing all I can stand today. Catch you later!
  21. You really need to consult your doctor on this. Reflux is not good and can cause many problems. Just removing a small amount of fluid from your band can help.
  22. Good Morning Y'all! It's raining and cold here today. One day it's 70's, next it's 40's! I am sick of cold weather and I am ready for summer! Pat - That is funny! We all do those things and while it's not funny at the time, it sure is later down the road! I still haven't gotten the box, but I'll let you know when I do. It just builds the excitement each day! Sherry - With all you do every day, it's a wonder you know what time it is! Slow down and smell the roses! Diane - I want to swim up to the bar with you! I bet you can't wait! Mandy - What a nice poem! I enjoyed your anger email too! Gina - Glad you are feeling better. Cindy - It looks like retirement is going great for you, you are always busy! Good morning to the rest of you!
  23. Good morningY'all, As usual, late again this morning! I need 24 more hours in a day around here! Pat - No box yet, but it took some time last time so I am sure it is on the way. I get more excited with each day. Hope you are enjoying that sun! Sherry - Don't be afraid to play around with things, that's the best way to learn, and ask questions. Go into the mod board and check it out. Kat - Hope you are feeling better today! Jessica - It has been raining here too, but it was nice and sunny yesterday and it's going to be nice today. Dianne - Hope You are feeling better today too! Well, I have to run and get dressed, running so late today! I just want to stay home and enjoy the outdoors today! I can't do that because we have a wedding shower at lunch today for a gal that works there. Later!
  24. Pat - We are going in April, my niece is getting married there. I can't wait! I wish I was there with you, soaking up that sun! It will probably be here today, I'll let you know when I get home from work!
  25. Good Morning Y'all! Just jumping in to say hello, got to get started on the house so I get it done early so I can watch the race this afternoon. I also have to run over to my DB house so that will take a while. Pat - I haven't gotten it yet, maybe Monday! I'll let you know when I get it, I can't wait! Mandy - If I could send you some mud buggs I would. Boy they were so good! We broke the record for the most eaten at the place we were! They didn't realize that we have done 3x that amount before! It was good and it was a really fun time. Diane - I bet you are getting excited! I have 9 weeks to go and I am excited! Well, catch you all later!
