Overnight, surgery Monday, 7:30AM, checkout Tuesday, AM, right after barium swallow test. I wish I'd been discharged the same day, those leg balloons were a pain in the ash, everytime I wanted to get up I had to unshackle myself.

That is so cute, I got 2 whole BUNt cakes, one on each side, LOL.

I'm telling, LOL. Congratulations, I remember how happy I was when I was given a surgery date. Good luck!

In the beginning I weighed every other day, now, a year later, maybe every other week.

I was a size 10 for a day, I think it was a couple of years after I was born, LOL. No actually, in 1980, I lost 50 lbs, got down to 125, truly for a day, then never hit it again. I'd be happy as a senior citizen 12.

Congratulations and I wish you the best on your band journey.

:clap2: :clap2: CONGRATULATIONS BETTY:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: You're the bomb girl. Lets see the way I figure it, you were banded two months before me, so I only have about 40 lbs to lose in the next two months to catch up, LMAO, ROFLMAO, INSAINLY LOL.:clap2: :clap2:

These are not fishy, preband I tried those fish pills, OMGsh they were disgusting. The cod liver oil doesn't have any taste, and you could probably get it in liquid form, just never thought about it. When ever I take meds I always drink at least 1/2 bottle of water to wash em down, room temp water too, otherwise I get a head rush with cold water.

I've taken enough of all those diet pills in my lifetime I should be trying to put weight on, LOL. I took xenical, and all it did was make me regular for once in my life. The only thing diet pills ever did for me was make me "maintain" the current weight I was at. I did see on television the other night there are suppose to be several new pills hit the market this year????

Maybe she'll want to see your "tatoos", just kidding with you, LOL. I think it is soooo very special you're taking your mom AND mom n law. Sounds like they're lucky to have you. I hope you have a great time.

Start taking Cod Liveroil gel tablets, I've been taking them for years and I couldn't tell you the last time I had a cold. Also that low carb oj is good too, that's what I use when I make screwdrivers, helps me stay well too, hehehe.

Hey do eggs swell? I was eating some scrambled eggs at IHOP this am and was fine with my pancake until I took a bite of that egg.

My DH said he was sick today, I came home from a day shopping and getting new nails to a sink full of dishes. I told him for somebody sick he sure did make a mess. I got by without having to take care of him because he had too many beers last night, so I just blamed his throwing up on beers, so he suffered alone today. He kept telling me I sure made a day of it, like yeah, I want to hang around and listen to you barf and complain, LOL. Most men are just born slobs, IMO, my DH was gone all last week to Fla playing golf and my house stayed clean, two days home and what a mess, talk about laundry, his full weeks worth, :angry , dumped right in my bathroom in front of the washer. Best thing I ever did was put the washer and dryer in my bathroom. DH has his OWN bathroom. No more toilet seat problems for me, or ring around the tub to clean. At 55, I'm pretty awful, if he leaves a ring in it, then he either cleans it out or he bathes in it, LOL. Needless to say, he learned how to use one of those tub brushes. Also, if he puts his undershirts in the laundry inside out, that's the way they go back in his drawer.

If you do a home equity line/loan, then you could deduct the interest from your taxes, BUT, only do it if you're sure you can afford the payments, you certainly don't want to lose your home.

I agree with Michelle, preband I wouldn't believe you had to eat to lose weight, now I'm a believer, just make the right choices. Wish ya the best.

Awww. are't you just a doll baby! You're just as cute as a can be. It is so much easier to gain 50 than lose 50 for sure, I wish you the best. You need to change your name to doll baby.

Yeah, where is our Cindy? Woohoo Cindy where are you? Eileen and Betty, I got measured recently too, seems my girls need more pasture . Of course I've never figured out how they seem to think they've made the correct measurement, think about it, they measure you with the WRONG size bra on, hellleww. Sherry, I'm gonna find that picture yet, why don't you post it here for me and save me some time, LOL.

Welcome and congratulations on the weight loss, you're quite an inspiration.

You tip every day? I always tip at the end, duh me, like she's gonna remember me 10 years from now. How much do you usually leave each day?

Kim, what ever you do, take the bike safety course. I'd never driven on a motorized anything until I took the course. My DH had my bike lowered 2" so I could reach the ground, and I always wear my Harley boots, because they have a special tread on the bottom to keep you from slipping and sliding when you put your feet down. I have small hands, so he also had the "easy" grip clutch installed, it has hydraulics. I started on the three wheeler, then had a Honda Rebel, a smaller, light weight bike, then three weeks later, got the HD Springer. The heavier bike is much easier to handle and make turns, but a heck of a lot harder to pick it up if you lay it over.

My longest pb was from a tiny bite of one of thos golden tiny pretzel rounds. Bad thing is I was riding in the car with someone and couldn't just pull over, and the longer you hold it the bigger it grows. I tried that once, taking a drink to wash down the stuck item, OMG, did I learn really fast to never do that again. Maybe a tiny, tiny, tiny sip, but never a big drink.

I sat on one of those things one time, but I dared them to turn it on, LOL.

Patty, my DH has been in Fl all week playing golf, poor baby, ERRR, while I'm here dealing with work, but at least I haven't had to deal with him, LOL. He said the golf courses at Disney are awesome. Sherry, I've got to find the pictures Eileen mentioned. Beanie, smelled like skunk, I hear that's what the good stuff smells like, LMAO. Betty, have you thought about taking a job with a long commute? Cindy, you go as long as I do without a fill, though I think my time is very near. I'm just so comfortable right now, WITH EATING, which is not a good thing. I say every week I'm going to call and make an appt, but then I think of being too tight and change my mind. It's kind of like when you've been waiting for 2 weeks to get your hair cut, then the day you're suppose to go, you have the best hair day you've had in months. I forgot to mention one of the hardest parts about the girl stealing the money was I had to tell DH. I found out in October, didn't tell him until January. I was so hoping the girl would get the money from her parents, but they didn't have it. She offered me a settlement of $15,000, @ $100.00 a week, but said she'd need to KEEP her job, so she could pay me back. Duhhhh ok. Eileen, it's suppose to rain this afternoon and tomorrow, what's it doing in your neck of the woods? Doc, day 14 I was doing the mushies, actually, it was day 13, (we were having our company Cmas party). French onion Soup, OMG, it was soooo good. Ladies, I'm getting a facial today, yep one of those high dollar, high pressure salt spray treatments, my skin will probably fall off. I have really sensitive skin, so I may just have a regular facial once I get there. They're having a special 2 for 1 so my friend is going and we're splitting the $80.00. Then she's gonna put this "mineral" type makeup on me. It's suppose to be similar to that bare minerals make up they advertise on tv, anybody use it? I've got to stop drinking so much coffee and talking my head off.. Have a safe day LB friends.

Very lovely family for a lovely lady.

Congratulations, I'm happy for you. Take care of yourself.
