I'llsucceed

Great to hear your doing so well- Hip Hip Horray on your new life! So how much are the fills in Georgia anyway?

Chantel prayers have been sent & will continue tonight. I am sure the Doctors will know exactly what to do so that they both will be fine. Keep us posted

Has anyone heard of or know what the diet pill Zetacap is? It came up on a lapband search on google.

Thanks Paula for the google info - I just removed my phone # & address.

I just errased my name & age on my signature pg & the even my personal hobbies. I don't want this to end up being a problem but I have kept my possible surgery a secret for personal reasons. Too many times does the "6 degrees of seperation end up being true" & now this "google thing" well that is enough to scare anyone who wants to remain anonymous.

I even asked him if he'd give me a fill if I ever get a new port. Nope, nada, nill, zippo, zilch. I hate that tiny little man. Tiny Man- Tiny Ass Brain. Way to keep focused Girl!! Keep up the good spirits!

I love reading what you all have listed! These are the things I love to hear. ALex- I especially like the sence of "normal" throughout what you wrote it hits a cord with me. I hope there are more bandsters out there that for the most part have "Easy times".

I had been wondering what was going on & so happy to hear that your date is soon approaching. I think you are an extremely strong person for having gone through this. I really don't know if I could have been so brave. COODO's to you & I am glad your so happy with your new Doctor. Good Luck!

Can wait to hear of your success' over the next few months Blossom!

Bumped Thread

If you go up to the search button you can type in PB'S & Slime & all the threads containing those words will come up. I will try and get a few to the front page for you to read up on.

PENNI_- LOL- My language as well- Free- LOL You know they're all Free if your gambeling right? The drinks that is.... HA HA HA - I crack myself up;0) Anyhow just wanted to express thanks. It really is nice of you gals.

LOLOLOL - oh my Gosh ILMAO Bright & Trish & the rest of you crazies. Count me in too- I want DOUBLE DIGITS ;0)

In my eyes you ARE NOT lying.... you have simply choosen not to share at this time. Which is 1000% exceptable. Good for you!

After hours spent reading & learning. Learning & reading, I sometimes start to freak myself out a bit with all the possiblities that can & do go wrong with the band. I would love if it were possible to have a thread that tells of the easy days. The no problem days. The life is so much better with the band days. The can't believe how easy it is to drink & eat days (healthy that is). The happy times even at parties & restaurants days. No worry days. ect ........

Well if the lotto thinggy won't work how about drinks on me in Vegas--WHHOO HOOO!!! I will buy for everyone!! Of course I would like to do this around a craps table & oh yeah you should all have a least one chip on the table for good luck-LOLLOLLOL

Welcome Scotty! You and I both weigh nearly the same & have about the same goal. I too have had your same struggle about to tell or not to tell. I firmly beleive your surgery will go off without a hitch. So don't worry about that. You'll know when your ready to tell your Mom, so don't worry about that right now. Maybe when you start to really drop your weight will be the time to tell her. That way she will see how great your doing & won't have the excuse to worry so much about you (or is it about her- my mom is the same way)LOL I really think between your friend who I assume will be back in a few weeks & this board you'll have enough support to get you through the first couple weeks. I promise you can count on me anytime. I check the baord daily & will be happy to lend a shoulder or ear at anytime. You are going to do great & be just fine. Congradulations to you Scotty!

Oh my Gosh Blossom- I can't wait to ask my Doctor more about this. This was the best news yet- that there may even be the slightest chance that we could maybe drink & eat is exciting. I am more doubtful than hopeful but its a least interesting that your Doc is on the fence with it.

I do not know how many monitors there are offically at LBT. I would like to know. I would also like to say that I am so greatfull for all their time & energy spent taking care of this site. I propose that if any member would like we could each buy a lotto ticket for the monitors or maybe one for each & send them to a specific address. Then which ever monitor gets them could split any winnings from any of the states with the other monitors. Just a way of saying " Hey your appreciated & thanks". What does everyone think? Its a dollar well spent I think.

Leatha- What besides pushing the food through faster & allowing us to eat more will happen if we do drink while eating? Is it that we won't get that full sensation? I just don't know if I can do it. At least at every meal _ I don't know if I can. I love water & drinking- I feel thirsty alot of the time. What are your thoughts?

Also how do you "bump a thread" for someone? Or can only monitors do that? Where does the thread go once it is bumped?

Claraluz- Thanks & yes I do believe that my Mom can keep a secret. However, if she were to slip up one evening over a glass of wine or something, than I guess I will cross that bridge at that time. I do know that eventually when the weightloss is very noticable that my one sister will probably guess what I did. Again at that point I woin't lie any more but tell her yes I did- But really don't wish to discuss any details & change the subject. Whew! Gives me the chills just thinking about it. Come to think about it maybe I WILL LIE & say I've been really running alot more & taking this great new diet pill.LOL LOL I think that may be easier.

You'll be in my prayers tonight- sleep well

I would love to come & meet everyone. I hope I can scap enough together by then. Just think Trish if my insurance hurries up - you & I both could be through our mushies by than. Thank God for the margaritas. Anyone a big Texas Holdem player? or Craps- I love them both. Would also love to get a little sunshine on my face.

Thanks all for sharing- And PAULA I wanted to say that it really has been a huge struggle to keep it a secret. A major mental fight- I ALways feel I can count & trust on everyone. I guess because everyone CAN count & trust me. But alais that isn't always true the otherway around. I wasn't going to tell anyone I had my upper-eyes done either but I tend to almost brag about it to complete strangers-LOL - LBS however comes with the cost of little failures. exp. Not losing fast enough for someone else-gaining maybe-having it removed maybe-not being able to succeed on my own-ect-ect-ect. Maybe infact you did the better thing by telling more people. I think that sometimes I may feel more accountable if more were watching my every nibble;0) Either or isn't it interesting how we all want to include others but exclude them at the same time. Excepting only the comments we can stomach & sometimes blamming their words for our own failures or excuses to binge. Wanting only certain help & certain saying at certain times. In our hearts I think we all know MOST want us to succeed. One of my biggest fears is succeeding. When I am thinner what will I have left to be sorry about. This is a huge mental thing I need to uncover & figure out fast. Thanks for listening.
