No fluids for 1hr. before and after meals?
I drink right up to the time I eat, but then don't drink afterwards.

Has anyone felt this before?
I not only feel stuff going through my band, sometimes I hear it with all the strange noises it makes!

May Chat for NJ!!!!
I'll have to catch up with y'all on personals this weekend or tonight. I just wanted to let you know we were very lucky, we only lost our electric, but all our neighbors lost most of their trees. It kind of just went right over us, the people behind us got hit bad and the people right next door did, and all the ones across the street did. I feel so bad for some of them, they lost all their trees in their yard. I couldn't believe it when I came home last night and saw all the limbs and trees cut up and put at the curb, and the big ones haven't even been done yet! I am just thankful that it was the trees though and not the people or their homes. Later y'all!

Another New Skin
Actually I like the gal at the top! She's cute, has a great smile, and when I come on it makes it look like a really friendly place to come! I vote keep her! I would like the ads on the right though!

Hello Y'all! Boy we got hit really hard in our neighborhood with the storms. A ton of trees are down and some people got all the trees in their yard down. I feel so bad for them. We went without electricity from early yesterday afternoon until 4:30 today! I felt cruddy all day at work! Ugh! Now it is storming again so I hope we don't lose the electric again. We have a big mess to clean up in the yard but not as bad as the other neighbors. We were pretty lucky! I have to get going and get some stuff done in case our electric goes again. Catch you all later!

Another New Skin
I like the new one better! Although I do like the ads on the right better so I don't have to shift my screen to read it!

Question on Precertification
Maybe a quick phone call to your insurance would tell you if it is covered or not. I think I would want to know first!

April chat for NJ!!!!!
Kat - If they wanted to do something more then they should be there. Don't worry about what everyone else says or does, just think about yourself. My thoughts are with you. Just remember to take care of yourself.

April chat for NJ!!!!!
Good Morning Y'all! Cleaning house and doing laundry! Just once in a while I think I would like to get up and there would be nothing to do! Nothing! Eileen - I loved the pictures! Nope, no riding yet, DH goes almost every day on his to work, but I haven't been yet. It's been so long that I probably forgot how. I am going to take it real easy when I do go, not sure how the old foot will do. Thank goodness our car didn't cost that! It's all taken care of now, so no worries unless something else goes wrong! Kat - Hugs to you missy! You have been through so much this last year! Just know we are thinking about and missing you. Prayers sent your way! Beanie - So, tell us more about the new job! Is it the same thing you were doing? Darcy - I bet you are up at the new cabin! So, how is it all going? Patty - Remember to get your liquids in before you go, just not too much! I bought way too much! Sherry - How you doing today? Hope you are feeling better. You know all the stress you are going through right now plays a big part in your fills. Just give yourself a break for a while! It'll all be there for you later. Chrispy - Exercise! Will you come and do mine for me? They say if I just think about it I can lose, so maybe if I could watch you I could lose better? :D Mandy - Hopefully they will have an answer for you, if not then just request a second opionion and take all your results with you. The doctors office has to give them to you. Better safe than sorry! Ok, got to get off here and get busy! Have a good one!

Telling Friends After-the-Fact
I only told my family at first, then a few of my close friends. I am really more comfortable not telling everyone. I just say I am watching my weight, doing the South Beach diet. Just remember once you tell, you can't take it back!

hello everyone
Welcome to LBT! Sometimes I can eat bread and other times I can't. I just take a couple of bites and then eat the rest w/o the bread usually. Good luck!

Your mileage may vary - newbie alert!
Excellent Post! Everyone is different! Some people never need a fill! I find that 3-4 weeks my fill tightens somewhat now. Thanks for the post!
