Good Morning Gang - I'm at work getting ready to start my Day.... Blooeyez - Looking good girl - keep of the good work :eek: Mango - So what big party are you doing on Fat Tuesday ???? :frown: Kari - How are you doing this Monday now that your DH is retired Phyl - Hope the wind didn't blow you away - OMG the snow is low on the mountains this morning...:mad: Karri - Well Ms Size 9:tongue: - Hope you are feeling better today - did you go to work or stay home??? Peaches - How are you doing - you haven't posted didn't you have a doc appt today 2/4 - Let us know how it goes... Katrina - Hope you are doing good too - You know I have never lost more than 30 or 40 lbs on any diet before - given 250 was my all time high but I have surpassed my those 40 lbs - The band is the greatest tool... Ruby - We are waiting for your pic's - And I look like your MIL - I am glad that's a good thing - they say we all have a twin out there in the world OK gang - WLS is going to be on Oprah today - Snowbird posted about it - it's about teen and WLS - From what I read on the Mom of the Girl Cassie who will be on the show today (dr. ortiz mex patient) Dr Oz is a big AH - and I bet our girl Oprah won't be too kind either. I think we should all write a letter - telling her it's not the easy way out - that this is friggin hard work. and it really bugs me that she just shows the negative side of WLS... The tread is on the mainboard or search Snowbird and you will find it.. ' Well better get my butt in gear... For those I missed - Hope you have a good day - and I will ck back later.. xooxoxoxox J

Karri Thanks so much - I think I look ok for an old broad Who still wants to get her groove on :Banane20: Great NSV Medium tops and seeing yourself as you are - a lot thinner than you were 6 months ago...

Good Morning Gang I am alive and well!! Thanks for missing me - you have me :lol: at where I'm at. Concert was great - tried to go dancing at the club at the casino - I love being able to dance again - I love to dance but at 244 i was just to friggin fat to even dance one whole dance - my legs would be killing me - out of breath - etc - but GF stupid DH wouldn't let her have a girls night out - he had to take us and he hung out in casino while we were at concert and then he couldn't get in the club cuz he had tennis shoes on and they have a dress code. I got to dance about 3 dances and was home at 11:30 - had a good buzz going on. Never made it shopping my gf threw her back out and I had to go and take her some pain meds - she called crying around 9:30 a.m so went and took care of her till 12 came home ate a hot link and took a nap :Banane20: - never made it to the computer Today got up 6:30 was at gym by 7:30 did my 3 miles - gotta pay bills and will go to my son's for the Super Bowl - I am just a so so sports girl - I don't know who to root for - Pats - just so they have 19-0 - or the underdogs - I am always a sucker for them and my Dad was from NY... Kari the days of me not comming home at night are long gone :Banane20:- thats was something i did in my 30's & 40's (well until I got married).:wink2: Katrina - CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING TO ONERELAND.... :star::Banane20: Karri - Size 9 OMG How fantastic :Banane20: :Banane20: My 14's are falling off me - and I don't have anything just to throw on - for the weekends - I need to go shopping - but don't want to spend too much cuz - I still have some to lose - but gotta do something - I am looking sloppy in my 14's I have never really paid attention to consigments stores or thrift stores - I know that they do carry brand new stuff - maybe have to check it out... I am not a patience shopper thought - I hate looking threw racks.. Linda CONGRATULATION ON 90 LBS GONEHOW GREAT:hurray: I will be back in a bit - gotta see if I can upload a current pic from Friday night...

Are they made out of mushrooms or what - o calories and they keep talking about the Fiber in them - it's only like 3 grms - not tons of fiber - have you tried them??? Well I am almost out of here - will ck back in the morning - gotta go get ready for my concert... Have a good evening Ladies...

Shelley I get stuck only if I have eaten too fast or not chewed well enough or it I have taken 1 bite too many and I think i am at my sweet spot. - What amount of food are you eating before you feel full. Eating pretty healthy in fat people language and what is really is eating healthy are 2 totally different things imho - a fat person ya i ate veggies but left out the fact that they were drowning in butter - Oh ya I had fish - left off that it was in a batter and fried. I mean no offense here but our perception on food is a bit off centered – to us a portion size is a whole pint of ice cream not ½ cup.. As Wheestin said - what are you eating - what is your exercise - For Me i find that keeping a food diary is essiential - I count calories and Protein grms - I keep my calories anywhere between 1000 - 1200 a day I exercise 4 days a week 3 miles a day at 16 minute mile. I eat low fat sugar free - protein first veggie (with I can't beleive it's not butter spray) then rice - Pasta - tatoes if I am still hungry. You really need to give us a little more info so that we can help you get back in band mode -

Yes Edie - I would like to know too...

Love the smiley - goes real well with the chair - I don't think anyone in their right mind would buy the chair - I don't know why anyone would make the chair

And what makes the shrinks any less "f'd' up than us :biggrin: I loved it on the Soprano's when the shrink went to a shrink:lol: I don't think Everyone needs it but some do...

I thought it was super cute - I know we usually don't share this kind of stuff but - I thought you all would enjoy - I really don't know how anyone could work on that chair :biggrin:

You don't know what King Cake is :eek:- it has prizes in it - if you get the piece witht the baby - you have to throw the next party - you must not watch the food channel - i still watch it - When it first came on about 15 yrs ago i watched all the time - but it makes you hungry - so I don't watch it too much anymore - but I still love Paula Dean - Emeril - Gaida (sp) Iron Chef A king cake (sometimes rendered as kingcake or kings' cake) is a type of cake associated with the festival of Epiphany in the Christmas season in a number of countries, and in other places with Mardi Gras and Carnival. It is popular in Christmas season in France (galette/gâteau des Rois), Portugal (Bolo Rei), Spain (Roscón de Reyes and in Catalonia called tortell), Greece (vasilopita) and Bulgaria (banitsa). In the United States, which celebrates Carnival ranging from Mobile, Alabama to East Texas, centered on New Orleans it is associated instead with Mardi Gras season traditions. The cakes have a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, sometimes said to represent Baby Jesus) inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations. I have always wanted to go to New Orleans - to eat po-boys - crawdads - gumbo - creole - see the sights... I still want to eat my way across America - I just won't be able to eat as much :biggrin: - Memphis Ribs - Anything Southern - New England Clam Chowder - Maryland Crabs.. I am a food addict:ohmy:

I don't vote just on party lines I vote for the person I am a registered Democrate -

Happy for you Ruby that you had a good fill... it really does help.. I went to lunch today and had 1/2 taco and 3/4 of my beans - I am a happy dancing girl :smile::Banane20::eek: OMG it is wonderful to be able to eat :tongue:

You guys gotta watch this it's to friggin funny.... Best Videos of the Week, 2/1/08: No. 9 - AOL Video Blog Ellen & the Hawaii chair - I know we usually don't do this kind stuff here but wanted you all to see it - I think you really will enjoy it,.... Heres to a good laugh on a Friday afternoon/

Congrats Edie - You are an inspiration... I can't wait untli I am there too.

About a week... My doc Office took care of all this - I went directy to surgeon - 5/31 had tons of test due to age and never going to the doc - no supervised diet - was approved on 6/20 after shrink appoint on 6/14 - surgery 7/17 When I called them (bc ca) they said it was covered under my policies if medically necessary - bmi 42 - high blood pressure and slight sleep apnea.. I qualified

Do you guys supend both parties in a fight - That's the part that I don't get. A kid bit my GS on the bus when he was in 8th grade - he fought back and got suspended too... Made no sense to me - this kid who fought him has some issue I gathered and was known for being a trouble maker..

That's cheating :smile: - Once when I was a kid my family had a weight loss challenge - I got the mumps and won :eek:

Heck - In my WW days I would take the jewelry off ... for Dr bobby I just put good smelling lotion on my tummy :tongue: I can relate to that you go to the doc on the 4th to set up appointment for getting a new band??? Ya I thought this is what you do when you go to the GYN not the fill Dr.:smile: It took me a while to get here - it's the 1st thing I do when I get to work in the morning - and the site would not load - so I emailed you and phyl - gotta talk to my band buddies ... I was going thru withdrawls 15 hrs and no lbt.. OMG - you get off for Mardi Gras how cool is that - do you have a King Cake on Fat Tuesday... Do you go party with the masses. It looks a little scary to me what they show on t.v. - a little wild for my old age - That would be the PREFECT BAND !!!!

My kind of gal :frown: I am suppose to go on post op diet - 7 days liquids - mushie - soft then regular - I do a couple days Soup and then go to mushie/soft as this is my regular eating - I eat mostly fish & veggies - But this last fill was too tight couldn't eat - tried could barely eat soup... Had a little taken out and he told me say on the liquids for a week - well guess what I had for dinner - fish very soft & veggies... a full 7 days of soup was enought... I did ok - ate slowy and chewed...
