Marcy and Laurend - Congrats on the losses!!!!! Marcy - A family chicken story. When my Mom and Dad first got married she wanted to make chicken for dinner. He was at work, and she was not a farm raised girl. She had to kill a chicken. She tried, and she couldn't do it. The chicken ran around with his neck crooked until my Dad got home.

Kathy - Adorable family Aunty Phil - nailing Jello to a tree, what a hoot, I'm gonna use that one! Night everyone, my computer is in my kids room cause my Mom now lives in the computer room. He's gripeing (sp?) at me to get lost. I can't see the keys in the dark anyway. ssankofa - I can't find a port anywhere. I'm about to smack my kid, like going to sleep for school is that freakin important. Teenagers these days.

Sunny - I'm soooo sorry about your baby. I dread the day we lose ours. Today a friend sent me an email of a chihauhau. She is long hair, white,with brown ears and a perfect brown heart shaped spot on her side. Lynette - Utterly Ridiculous!!! Who the hell gives a 3 year old scissors? I would be concerned about this preschool. They have already made you feel your child is lacking. What are they going to do to his self esteem? And nothing is wrong with him, he sounds very smart. Are these kind of test normal now? Kindergarten used to be for learning how to use scissors.

Hi Will, It's the drugs. I only took the pain meds for 4 days because of the dreams. I stopped taking them when I dreamed someone was stealing my chair. I woke up grabbing for it and screaming chair.

Welcome YummieT My doc says between 50 to70 grams of protien a day. Make sure you get enough it will hold down hunger. You can get unflavored protien to add to your mushies at GNC. Night All..

Opps I hit the wrong button I wasn't finished. Their is another thread on this site that list what has change for you since you lost weight. I have Fish Oil in large capsules, I guess I'll have to pop them or go buy liquid.

Kathy their is a before and after thread maybe called...Pictures only Also on bariatriceating they have a load of before and after pics. It even has 2 obese cats, it's a hoot. One of them no longer eats high carb Meow Mix.

Chim - I'm trying 1tsp Olive oil tomorrow, it's not a lot of cals. and your supposed to have the right fats. Aunty Phil - sorry about Mr. Bossy. Maybe he's just scared if you do something wrong you'll hurt yourself. Maybe he's just worried. My husband never says a word about my weight or what I eat. He knows better. If Mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

Chim - I think it's a combination of no fiber and no fat. I wonder if a spoon of olive oil a day would help.

Lynette - I made the chicken salad yesterday. The whole family loved it. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem......I can't go. I'm miserable. I have been taking benefiber for 2 days, no help. I just bought some high fiber cereal. I'll eat it every day for breakfast. Can a person live taking MOM for maybe life?? Ohhhh Whoaaaa is me.

Mango, why would they code that as cosmetic? It was just a dr. appointment, right. That was stupid on their part. I wouldn't pay either. Hope I did not offend on my post earlier. I was supposed to be self pay, and I never in a million years thought they would pay it, especially when it was excluded right there in black and white under my exclusion clause. I think it should be covered for everyone. I was just so darn excited, I wasn't thinking about the other self payers on here, so I do apologize. Lynette - I'm not offended silly. I'm happy for you. I gladly paid for this and would do it again without hesitation. It was my graduation present for getting my masters and a promotion. Although I do work in the bowels of hell.

cazulay - I'm in New Orleans area Felicia - So sorry to hear about your Dad. I pray he will be fine. itzonlyme - How cool is that, you and your daughter together, Wow! Lorna - Welcome and hope everything is O.K. Kristeno7 - I had some chocolate. I count my calories on Sparkpeople. As long as I don't go over 1000, I'm gonna eat what I want, protien 1st. I try to stay around 800 daily. I am not gonna torture myself, this thing is for life. Lynette - You lucky DAWG you. I'm freakin jealous. My cheap ass teacher's insurance ain't gonna pay a freakin dime. And this week I get a bill from my primary doctor for 80.00. I had to get clearance from him. They coded my visit as cosmetic surgery instead of my once a year freakin visit to him to get my freakin prescriptions filled. I go to the doctor once a freakin year, and my insurance is 150.00 a freakin month. They are gonna recode it properly, or they can wait till hell freezes over for the 80.00. Do you sense a little aggravation here. And I had to wait 3 months for a freakin appointment with him. The Nerve!!

Indigo girl - Way to go!!!! :whoo: Jackie - Congrats!!!! :clap2: Dini - Bruises, tell your doctor. It might be a vitamin deficiency. Fat next Summer??? AS GOD AS MY WITNESS I"LL NEVER BE FAT IN SUMMER AGAIN!!!! I decorated my office today. The students come back Monday. Every bad egg I thought was not coming back is returning. I can't wait to see the lovely criminals. All summer I believed we were getting rid of them. :omg::omg::omg::omg:

Marcy - How much do you have to pay for our crayfish? Suckers in the South, dats right sha, we pinching da tails and sucking the heads!!! The one thing I'd miss about this burning hellhole is our great seafood. It don't get no better. Except nobody's knocking at my door giving me freebies, dag nabbit!!!

Sunny - I went to Wal-Greens a little while ago to get my benefiber. I having problems too. I also bought some Sugar Free Chocolate, after work tomorrow I'll eat a piece and see what it does. It works like ex lax for some people. I was reading messages on obesityhelp about stiches that pop out. If they don't dissolve inside they will work out the skin like a pimple, or an ingrown hair. Chim - My daughter and I also make the scarves. I've made a few. Everytime we wear them someone says where did you get that? only4me - Thanks for lunch tomorrow! I have ricotta and leftover spaghetti sauce in the fridge.

NewCC and Jackie, I also think the bullets taste like crap, but they have a lot of protien. I make a sugarfree drink and put an oz of the bullet in it. It eliminates the yucky, salty taste.

Thanks Jackie, I've just noticed the chest pain since I went back to work. It kind of makes me nervous.

Hi Everybody, This is my 2nd week post-op, and second day back to work. I have 2 questions. 1. I have mild chest pain like where the band is. It's not constant, and it's only been 14 days. Is this normal? 2. Can I add Fiber to my liquids? Like benefiber? I need it!!

Ya'll are making me nervous about the amount I am eating. At one time I can eat 2 scrambled eggs, or 1 cup cream of wheat, or 1 cup oatmeal. Should I be nervous?? I really worried I'm stretching something? Do you think that's possible with this amount? Chim said two Tbsp eggs made her full, that doesn't work for me.

Sunny - This is how she fried butter. This girl was on showing it to her, cause she made it up. She flavored butter, then froze it in balls, then battered it, then froze again, then fried. Sounds gross to me. Her sons were in N.O. for their show on today. I wish someone woulda told me when they were here. Dag nabbit!!!!!

I forgot, did ya'll see the time Paula fried butter? I also have to go back to work tomorrow. It's very rough getting up early cause I am a night owl. I have to be at work for 6:45. YIKES I hate it!

Hi Everyone, Laurend- Sorry about your AC. But melting is a good thing. We're all melting. Yeah!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: My daughter's boyfriend has been sleeping on the couch for 3 days because his AC is broken too. You will die here without an AC. I think it was Sunny that said she lives next to hell. That makes us neighbors cause this is hell. One good thing about this two story house is two ACs, if one breaks we got a backup plan. Lynette - Good luck with the potty training. Training my son was a freakin nightmare. He held it for over a week, and I was giving him laxative. I won't tell you where he finally let it go, but a clue is he couldn't hold it once he hit the warm water. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! You probably could hear me screaming down the street. Did someone say Paula Dean, I love her, she is my idol. I watch HGTV and the food network all day. Last night I found a recipe for protien balls on obesity help.com I'll try em and post the recipe. Dini - Sorry about things, hope you have fun in Italy anyway.

Kristen - I think it's too much. You're not healed at 2 wks. I wouldn't be stretching all over.

Hi Everybody, I had my post-op appointment today. The nurse took off my tape on my cuts. The port cut has a small piece that hasn't healed all the way. I broke out in a cold sweat cause I thought it was gonna hurt when she was pulling off the tape. So I can't remember what rules she said. After, me and my daughter went to the mall. I have to say, I didn't feel good walking. My chest hurts front and back. I had to come home and take tylenol. It started hurting yesterday. Thank God I didn't have to go back to work yet. Shannon I have the new band. The fill area is 360 degrees. The other band just has a little less cause of the clip thing on the side. You can search the web for pictures.
