TracyK

Good morning ladies- I am cramping so bad :thumbup:. Still have not seen tom though. My cycle has been so screwy lately. Maybe the weight gain then the losing is throwing my body out of whack. I can not wait to hear about the concert Pamela went to. I'll bet it was so much fun! TracyinKS-how is the unfill so far? Terry-did you make an appt to get a fill before the holidays? Michelle-a closet alcoholic? :w00t: Have a fantastic day everyone :smile2: I will be moving around as little as possible. Maybe a heating pad will help.

HiYa girlies :rolleyes2: DH is on nights so the house is very quiet. I just can't get used to it getting dark at 5:30 in the evening! UGH. It is 15 til 6 and I am yawning for Gods sake! Thank you all for the tips on the Greenbean Casserole. I love that stuff. I could live on that and green rice. Tonight is survivor night...all is well with the world. I miss Kat.

Laura-your sis has been with that girl a while now, huh? Haydee-I did not get the pic :rolleyes2: TracyinKS-that is alot of money!

Haydee-in an e-mail?

I wanna go see madonna!!!!!!

Good morning everyone! I am still bouncing on the scales. I guess it is to be expected since tom should be any minute now. I am just a little disheartened because I wanted onederland again for Thanksgiving. le sigh Jenn-hope your ds has a fantastic bday! Tracy-the best advice I can give is...pretend the unfill never took place. Brainwash yourself, do whatever you have to do to NOT eat the evil. Gotta get dd ready...bbl

YIKES....if you think you have it bad...go check out the blog section where there is one called something like "the band ruined my life. RUINED" My goodness, I even felt compelled to leave a comment. lol I started to sing the song from HEE-HAW...Gloom despair and agony on me"

So what you are trying to say is...you do not like the band, right? lol But seriously...lap band is not for everyone. I hope you find something that can make you happy. Best of luck to you.

TRACYK, that is how. I have been stuk on this 206 number for long enough. Thank goodness I am not depressed enough to EAT, but motivated enough NOT to eat! Should be starting TOM soon so I am scared to weigh because of retaining fluid. I will probably just weigh in the morning and then not weigh again until tom is gone. Wanna know what my downfall is? Enchiladas. OMG, they slide down the old pipes. This next part is for myself (to kick things around in my own head for therapy) and for newbie banded people. I have had more new people that read my blog ask questions like "I thought with the band we would not be able to eat this or that". Picture this...(for instance folks, k?) say I am a drug head. I want some pills really bad because I have been clean (a good bandster) for over a year but now I really really need to "get high". I will figure out any way I can to get that high. Shakes go down...ice cream goes down, cheesecake goes down, cookies go down. Get the picture? If you got/are getting the band to "save you" from the sinking ship, you might wanna realize that you have to do some swimming to help save yourself!. The band is VERY helpful in losing weight. I would not trade it for anything! It is my life preserver for when I get really tired an feel like I can't swim anymore. Ugh, that probably made sense to NObody but me. But, I know what I meant. lol I guess what I am saying is don't expect a miracle, BE the miracle!:mad2:

Tracy-good luck with you know what...I am just too shy to say that S word :sad: :biggrin: :w00t: Just trying to lighten things up Tracy, you'll be fine! :biggrin:

It is really worth a try if you have not used it before! :biggrin:

not quite as good as fried bounce on a stick but yes, it is fantastic :biggrin:

This is going to be probably one of the most silly questions BUT: I want to make Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving. I want that really yummy kind with the french onions on the top...really GOOD. How do I make it? And YES, I am trying to change the subject. :biggrin:

You all need to try the new Ultra Downy...the one in the violet colored bottle called "simple pleasures" from the radiance collection. Trust me :biggrin:

:biggrin: I love you all!!

Hi again :biggrin: I need to go to the daily plate and see how many calories are in a tootsie roll pop. bbl...

Hi Violets!! Hope you all have a super duper day.

Michelle-forgot to tell ya....congrats on the -2 !!! Hi everyone! I am gonna just relax tonight. If I had some wine I would drink it...maybe a nerve pill and a long hot bath and some big prayers instead. Have a great night everyone :thumbup:

:thumbup: back from casting my ballot.

I wish people (not violets) would vote based on the issues and not a color. UGH!

((((jane)))) I sure wish we were all closer to you! Good morning everyone! Not too much time to post. Lots to do today.

Jane ((((hugs)))) wish we were all there to support you! Just know we are all there in spirit! Good morning everyone....gotta get macy ready for school but I will bbl...
