It's all good, you'll look back on this someday and it will be one of those memorable moments.

Chris, wayyyyy too much info for me on the caffeine, LOL. Gotta have my AM coffee. Thanks for the research.

You and DH look wonderfully happy, thanks for sharing.

Forgot to mention, massaging the area helps too.

For safety sake, don't place the item too close to the top broiler, it can catch fire easily, especially fatty foods, like a steak.:omg:

I missed this post first time around, thanks for the information. Stay in touch!

Hmmmm, your theory sounds realistic, but your band is there for a reason, so is the fill, I think an unfill would be abuse to your band...JMI. (you asked).

I used Tums, quick dissolve. I didn't have tummy gas, but my shoulder ached for months after surgery. Don't forget to walk a lot that helps too.

I've never used the protein shakes, what type of protein is in the isopure, is it soy or whey?

I had a one night stay in the hospital, (my doctor now does this surgery as outpatient), and by day three, I drove myself to the grocery store. BUT, by the end of the day, I was still feeling fine, but as I sat and watched my son eat a huge plate of food, I thought OMG, what have I done? This lasted a few days, then through some good advice from my friends at LBT, I was reminded I would be able to eat again soon, and pretty much what ever I wanted, but in much smaller amounts. So, it does pass and I love my band. I wish you the best.

I loved the pictures, you're all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Cindy, I so agree, our special group is almost all here and accounted for. Still a few MIA's. Eileen, I HATE going to dentist. Last time I went I paid in advance for one of those deep gum cleanings, so I'd go back, only to lose $60.00 cause I cancelled the appt, still have a balance on the books, YIKES. Keeping dgson today, he loves nana to sing to him, he knows a good voice when he hears one, lmao! Rene, so good to hear from you. Sherry and Kat and Diane, I can't even keep up with you gals. Ann, my biggest regret of raising my kids is I did not send them to private school, I had the finances and should have done it. I think the education is more one on one, no offense Cindy my love, but for my two BOYS, I think it makes a difference. My 12yr old gson went for 5 years, he's one of the smartest kids in his school, (now goes to public school), way beyond his peers. I'd like to send the younger two, but Dh says that's their parents responsiblity...We'll see, LOL. Gotta go take gson to dr, nose, ears, and throat appear to be a problem. Hugs Gang.

Glad to hear your band has kicked back into operation again. I was thinking about getting another fill yesterday, then today, I haven't been able to keep half of what I've eaten down...go figure, fickle little thing.

Thought about you spitters tonight, on the way home from dinner, yep, you guessed it, had to spit, (I was outta cups), DAMMMMM I hate it when I go to spit out the door and miss and hit the running board on my SUV. Sure hope it rains tomorrow, LMAO.

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!!!!! Hurry up, LOL, get the pictures on here, we're all waiting.

Betty, I can't believe you've never spit, you're an ideal bandster, WTG! As for the spit cup, chit, my DH does dip, (much to my dismay), but I can out spit him in a heart beat now, although, he flips TFO if I spit in front of him, he thinks that's the most disgusting thing. I keep those gargle size cups in my car for those emergency spits. At restaurants, I always order a to go cup with my meal, with a lid, just looks like you're taking a sip, LOL. I know it all sounds disgusting, but it's my way of life with my band, and NO, I'm not too tight. I probably just don't chew enough or too large of a bite....my bad. I rarely have this problem after 7:00 pm, but before 2, I can count on it unless it's Soup.

Belated Happy Birthday wishes John.

Please pals, don't let this one fade away until there are answers. I want to stay in the loop too and this is the best place for a variety of input and reports. Thanks

Way too heavy for my ol brain. That made me tired just reading it.

Darcy, I'm rolling on the floor. Nothing like getting the "man" of your life a Manly movie. Thanks for sharing.

Well Ms Cindy, since you asked, it's a muggy 79, cloudy skies, with rain expected at any moment, lasting into tomorrow and cooling things off a bit. How's that for a forecast? Eileen have fun with the DD and the apples. Been playing Pogo all AM, gotta go to the office and pay bills, then again, it's 1:30, maybe I'll go eat lunch instead. Later girlies.

watch this and not smile. Too funny, we all need to smile now and again. http://www.koreus.com/media/men-in-coats.html

Hopefully he's just embarrassed. If he's lying about other stuff, as a wife, I think you would/should know. I can look at my DH and tell if he's lying, b4 he opens his mouth, LOL. 38 yrs experience!

My big question is.."what is normal"? I take Synthroid, I think a little higher dosage is what I really need, but because I fall into the "normal" range with the dosage I'm taking now, my dr won't up the dosage. I still have all the symptoms of hypo, but I'm in the "normal" range. Errrr! To me it's nothing more than stereo typing people. Why couldn't we just do a test run on the higher dosage for a few months then if there's no diff, then drop back. JMO

Ditto....Michelle! Listen to the lady, she knows her stuff! Take care of your band, and listen to it, it's telling you it's too tight,
