  1. I'll be thinking about you. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for good luck! Don't forget to let us know! Hugs!
  2. It depends on me too, I usually eat Breakfast around 6:30 a.m. and then lunch at 12-12:30, and supper 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. I usually don't eat much between those meals, but sometimes I get really hungry (especially mid morning) depending on what I ate for breakfast. If my stomach starts growling I eat a piece of fruit or some yogurt and it takes care of it. I think some of my biggest wanting to eat is at night time, after supper when I want to snack. Now, that isn't hunger it is boredom or watching my DH eating all that junk!
  3. Welcome to LBT! Lots of information and support here!
  4. It's not much of a deal like Tanya said, so try to relax and not worry. After it is all over you will wonder why you were so nervous.
  5. Quite a few of us had problems with it, it's normal. It lasts about 2 months, and it is growing as fast as it is falling out. You think you are going to go bald, but it comes back pretty fast. Mine got pretty thin, but I was the only one that noticed it! If you do a search on it, there are several threads about it.
  6. Welcome to LBT Corinne Join right in the discussion, lots of friendly folks around here.

    I used green tea for a while, but couldn't tell any weight loss with it at all.
  9. Good luck! Don't forget to take a before picture so you can show us the before and after!
  10. I've never heard of it either! MY Doctor is very strict about aftercare though.
  11. Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you aboard!
  12. Mine was removed the following morning too!
  13. Welcome back Terry! I have thought about you often! I hope you are back for good now, I missed your smiling face!
  14. My husband (ex) was getting out of the shower one day when my son was about 2 years old, and my son ran out to me and said "Mom, Dad's guts are falling out!" I guess it was the first time he saw his Dad naked! All I could do was laugh! I still tease my Son about that day!

    Jenna those pictures cracked me up! I can't get over the black marker one! Those are priceless!
  16. I have never PB'd, but I have left right after eating and never had a problem with the restriction kick-in either. When we are riding our Harleys, we stop and have Breakfast or lunch a lot, but it has never bothered me. Strange!
  17. I chew gum all the time, but never swallow it!
  18. I've been saying that since I was a little girl, I have no idea if I made it up or heard it somewhere! Always did hate them burgers though!
  19. Penni - that is beautiful!
  20. Skeeter he fly high Skeeter he fly low If that Skeeter lands on me He ain't gonna fly no more! How's that one? lol

    Subject: We Must Stop This Immediately! Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become! And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader? I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and he has aged so much that he didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor guy while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection.........Well, REALLY NOW- even mirrors are not made the way they used to be! Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them.. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror. Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 32 jeans as 44? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, and thighs? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling? I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here! All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED! PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has caused my computer's fonts to be smaller than they once were too!
