Thank you!! :thumbup:

I'm with ya. He was just making fun of himself, something certain former presidents would never have been human enough to do.

Did you folks even watch his appearance on the Leno show? The reason I'm asking is that he addressed the "AIG fiasco" specifically for almost 7 minutes. Just thought I'd mention it.

Manatee, when you first mentioned the possibility of lipo on these boards, I began to think about it for myself. While I'm still not quite at my goal *points down*, my surgeon said I should look "great!" at 170...just 12 pounds from where I am now. I suppose if I lost every ounce of those pounds directly above my navel it could work! :-) Otherwise, I may need lipo. I just want to be able to tuck my shirt into my jeans! Is that too much to ask?? *whines* Anyway, all that to say I'll be watching this thread closely! Thanks for letting us all in on your journey.

*passes out airplane bottles of Bailey's and Kahlua* Take yer pick....or have both! :tongue2:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f12/firming-lotion-70727/ Scroll down to see Dr. Shulman's opinion on these lotions. I bought some of the Nivea though, and I think it is a great moisturizer and plan to get more when I run out.

It is probably also swollen. I would stick to CLEAR liquids (jello, broth, popsicles) for the rest of today, then tomorrow start with the loosest full liquids (like a protein shake, but not blended with ice) and proceed from there. If it isn't mostly resolved by Tuesday morning, I would place a call to your surgeon's nurse. Let us know how you're doing.

You're quite welcome! :-)

Holly: it sounds like you are doing good. Exercise will up your metabolism to help keep it coming off! I work out 5-6 days a week. It's slow going for me now, but I finally lost another pound yesterday. :-) LemonLime: I hope your approval moves along quickly so you can get the show on the road (as my Dad used to say)!

I catch any/all misspellings. It's just the kinda woman I am! :thumbup: How much it bothers me depends on my mood, but I really think adults should all know the difference between the "there/their/they're"s. One thing that I see a lot of is people saying "all the sudden" when it's really "all of a sudden". I don't know, but that one never fails to make me shake my head.

I love that meal, Dianne! I have it basically every single day in the summer. Mmmmm...

Great news, amber! Woohoo!
