I have found the answer to no more visible panty lines for the chunky. Lace boy shorts! A couple of years ago, a friend of mine strongly recommended thongs for getting rid of VPL. Yeah right! I actually found some in my size. They have never been worn! LOL! I just couldn't do it! I found these on the Just My Size website. They are wonderful! They are comfortable & they fit! Not to mention, they are cute & cheap! Just thought I would share! :Bunny

OUCH! My jeans fit like a glove, but they kill my port! I have to leave them unbuttoned & unzip them half way, & then fold the 2 sides of the fly inside the waist. Anyone else experience this? These jeans are not tight! & they have spandex.

Happy :Bunny :Bunny Birthday! :Bunny :Bunny

I can't remember! But I know it was good! Congrats on your upcoming banding!

I have had chronic sinus problems for as long as I can remember. I was addicted to Afrin for years. My husband went on a hunting trip with one of his buddies & his buddy told him that when he snores at night, he sounds like he's drowning. Anyway he went on to tell him about this thing called a sinus pot. It is shaped like a genie lamp. You mix up this saline solution that comes with it & you flush your sinuses with it. It works. I am Afrin free & my husband no longer snores. I have not had a sinus infection in 2 years. You can get them in pharmacies like Walgreens or CVS.

It would be so cool to turn on the TV & see you on The Biggest Loser. Do it! I think it is a great idea! I know you're going to win this battle! I'm rooting for you! (((((HUGS))))) Maybe you do need to throw one good tantrum! Kick, scream, cry, get mad! Sometimes it helps. I know I usually feel better. No sense in holding it in.

Since I hurt my back again (& have been having a pity party for myself), I have been dealing with the binge demons. And I suffered a 10 lb. weight gain because of them! I still have my band, but I feel your pain sista!

Thanks for posting this great info Lisa!

Crossing your legs could cut off or decrease your circulation causing a blood clot. This is what they told us in nursing school.

Well said Jack!! Take lots of pictures!! Before & during. That is the best way I have of seeing the changes.

That is a big NSV!! I have NEVER been able to cross mine! Congrats!!

Your welcome! It will get better over time. I promise!

Welcome! You have come to the right place for answers! Read, read & read some more!

Wow! Sounds exciting! Congrats!

I went through the same thing at my wedding. I wanted both my Dad & Step-Dad to walk me & my Dad went through the roof. It was a nightmare! I also asked my Grandpa to walk me. It worked out just fine! & I think it was the best decision I could have made. Pops looked adorable in his tux & I have never seen him smile as big as he did that day. Good luck!

This place wouldn't be the same without you guys! I'm glad your sticking with us too!!

I updated my NSVs so I am bumping this thread!

Awesome NSVs! You have done so well!! Congrats!!!

Mine are shrinking too! Before the band, the only shoes I could wear were Birkenstocks. My DH bought me a pair of cowgirl boots for Christmas & they fit!! I haven't been able to wear boots in 14 years! I was amazed!

Having cold feet is normal & healthy! Congrats on your date! Henrymd - I have never had propel myself, but I remember seeing lots of posts a few months back about people who were drinking it & actually recommended it during the liquid phase. Good luck!

Penni, I wish I had the answer or the magical pill to end obesity. Just know that I (like a lot of others) am here for you if you need me. Since I quit my job, I lurk on & off all day & into the night. LOL! Damn! I hate that this happened to you! & to all the others that have eroded.......Jess

Congrats WannaBeALoser! I hope you have a speedy, pain free & uneventful recovery! Oh yeah.......Welcome to Band Land!!

Awesome! Keep hopping!

Welcome Diane! Nice to meet you!

I remember what it was like to finally get restriction. It took me forever! Congrats! Work that band!!
