HAHAHAHA Thats a good one Greg.... And I wasnt the one at the front of your door... nope wasnt me hehhehehe

HAHAHAHA me either.... Ugh again im NOT blonde hahaha.... Now to think of a good joke.... hmmmmmmmm (I hope no one get offended) This is a story about a popular young Baptist preacher, who on Sunday morning announces to the congregation that he will not renew his contract and is moving on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush. No one wants him to leave. Bubba, who owns several car dealerships, stands up and announces, "If the preacher stays, I'll provide him with a new sedan every year, and his lovely wife with a minivan, to transport their children!" The congregation sighs, and applauds. Billy Bob, the entrepreneur and investor, stands and says, "If the preacher stays, I'll double his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of his children!!" More sighs and applause. Ms. Ella May, age 70, stands and announces, "If the preacher stays, I'll give him SEX!!" There is a hush. The preacher, blushing, asks, "Ms. Ella May, whatever possessed you to say that?" Ms. Ella May answers, "I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, .... Screw him'!"

Beer on the other hand will be hard mostly on the weekends when I did drink hehe I feel I will have a lot of support here. and belive me I will need it!!!! Im not all that strong of a person, but I need so badly to get rid of my pains I want for once to sleep through the night without back pain, numbness of leg is getting so bad I want to cry and when i come out of my Apt i look around and make sure no one is there so i can go down the stairs without anyone looking at me. I have my Plantar fasciitis under control.. it took 2 shoots, and 4 weeks of theropy... but every so offten it hurts in the mornings. I WANT TO BE NORMAL again. My family is so happy im doing this. Thanks again everyone!! Your Awesome!!!!

Kelly, Thank you, for that info. I know I have a long road ahead of me. So no Cokes or Beer hehehe I want to start working on it now, so when I do get the surgery I will not have a problem with craving. Thanks again!

Hello everyone, Im so happy I found this Forum! Its great to know there are so many out there just like me. I have my very First Appointment this coming Friday 1/7/05 Im driving about 400 miles to get this. I had a few simple questions, but first if you dont mind I will tell you a little about myself, since I might be sticking around for awhile! Im 28, married (6yrs) and I have no children. Perfect time in my life to get this done. I have struggled with my weight all my life, as most of you probably have too. I have been on so many diets its not funny.... I even went as far as excersing 8 hours a day eating nothing, i didnt get very far with that haha. I married at 230lbs, now a high of 320lbs Im 5'1" shorttie hehe. I think im braking really... 6months ago i join an excerise program called Curves I was going everyday for 30mins a day, it was great i lost 18lbs I was so happy, then I had to quit, my foot was starting hurt and I only thought it was from a prior surgery nope I had plantar fascias. I was no longer able to excerise... another good deed down the drain. But what hit me the most, that I just knew I had to do something and quick was, one day I was in class my Chem class and this guy asked me if I felt I was disabled. Hmmmm well i thought about that long and hard. He said other things that hurt me too but i wont get into it. I thought, am I disabled? wow if im not now then I will be soon. So here I am. My insurence pays 90% of my costs everything im so excited... And I hope that I can make Long Time Friendships on here, the only friend I have right now is my husband and I have lots of family support. Now after you all know me I have had a few questions... with the surgery, its not the "what I can eat" and "what I cant eat" its what I can drink and cant drink. Oh I do love my Coke.... Diet, Reg. dont matter I love it... They say you cant have Carbonated drinks... So I guess I need to cut that... or is it a matter of how it works for me type deal, like everything else i have been reading. Also being a youngin still with no kids, hubby and I like to go out to my sisters and play pool and have drinks... I dont drink a lot but I do like to drink... yes I addmit hehe Im not a big water drinker which i know i should be. I love to eat and chew Ice.. hubby bought me a ice shaver machine and i will eat ice all day. So I dont know if that counts.. a little maybe? So can you give me your knowledge on Drinks!! Thank You so Much.... and I look forward to talking with you all~~
