  1. Last night I was at our local Mexican restaurant, sure enough something got stuck, could have been that nacho w/cheese, anyway, off to the restroom I went. All I have to do is bend at the waist and the pressure pushes the stuck object right out, then it's back to the table. I really do try to avoid that feeling though, I can only imagine the damage to my throat and esophagus. Minutes prior to my last fill, I told my doctor I had just gotten to a point where I didn't have to sit by the restroom door in restaurants.
  2. I do believe that "v" piece of material is called a gusset, many, many years ago when I got married, the seamstress had to add a gusset under each arm to increase the bust size.
  3. I have the smaller band and find it very, very sensitive. I was filled to 2cc of 4cc band, after spending 4 months at 1.75, which was probably my sweetest spot so far. I had very few pb's or slimes, since getting filled back up to 2 again, it's been slow go, but the doctor said after 4 months he felt it needed to be "tweaked". My doctor explained it doesn't have anything to do with your amount of weight to lose, but more so about the size of your insides.
  4. Happy Birthday toooooo you! PS, where you been hiding?
  5. Try a sports bra. I didn't have a problem with my bra, but I think a sports bra that has a hooks n eyes would be a bit more comfortable. Then also do the layered look, that would help cover the droop.
  6. I'm in Yorktown, VA, if ya don't like the weather here, wait 10 minutes it will change, LOL. Welcome to Virginia.
  7. I always use a straw when I'm in a restaurant or having a cocktail, (germ freak here, hate putting my lips on restaurant glass), never had any problems....or maybe that's where that pb came from, hummmmm. ( I don't drink with meals though, I get my water to go, with a straw)
  8. Please keep us informed, we care!
  9. I can drink or eat up until my fill, then I'm given a cup of water to sip and make sure I'm not too tight, the it's liquids for the next 24 hrs. Then back to usual, if I can stand it, LOL.

    I don't consider it Art for starters AND I didn't know there was an "art" section. It's a picture to me, which is why I posted on the picture page.

  15. What a beautiful smile, you were blessed to have him as your brother I'm sure.
  16. I sent Philip, her dh, two Rose of Sharon plants to be planted near the home they were building. Hopefully they have "blossomed". He said he had just the spot picked out. I think of him often too and how much he must miss her, she was such a sweetie.
  17. I thought I was at a plateau too, but I had gained 11 lbs of muscle, so maybe you're losing fat and gaining muscle, which is not a good thing for the scales, but a good thing for the body.
  18. Bless your heart, I do know how you feel, I lost my best friend, my Dad, 5 years ago, I miss him as much today as I did the day he died. Time does help!
  19. I want to know how to fix my own, would someone please take the time to give us step by step CLEAR instructions on how to not only do the avatar, but to add pictures to the picture page. I've tried so many times and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I have a glich somewhere, lol.
  20. I hope and pray we never see another devastating attack such as 9/11. Though we lost so many brave souls, so many were saved by the bravery of others.
  21. Sending lots of hugs your way, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, as we know God works in mysterious ways.
  22. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you.
  23. Barefoot nana here, with rough heals to prove it. Amazingly, very few varicose veins, I have less than most younger people I see in shorts.
  24. Yeah, but those heavier muscles sure cause havoc with the scales, specially when you're looking for them to drop. Darn muscles, why do they have to be heavier than fat! If I take the 15 lbs of muscle I've gained and add it to the 48 lbs of fat I've lost it sure makes me feel better...I think????
