STOP! Step away slowly from the candy with your hands on top of your head!!

Trish, And just think... pretty soon you will be climbing up to those rooftops to yell it out!! Way to go girl!

Just freaking GREAT! grrrrrr I am "unlucky professional" and I start my new job on Wed. Gee, thankssssssssssss!

Ewwwwww, I say that if he is old enough to poop that big then he is old enough to put on the glove himself and "break" it or put it in a baggie!! But that right there is a mothers love for SURE!!!

How are you feeling Roxanna??? Haven't heard from you! Any weight loss? Are you healing ok? Come onnnnnnnnn, let us know things are going well!!! Love ya sisterrrrrrrr (in my best slurred speech) Jenna

Awwww Miss Doodle! Well I just hadddddd to take a lick of a jelly packet on the restraunt table the day after surgery so I cant get on you for just 3 cookies!!! You have earned those cookies! No worries, you will get back on track!

YES!!! I can totally see it and understand it now!! How cool that is!! How much (ounces) of barium do you swallow??? Is it the consistency of something like pepto bismol? But now, I can't see the rabbit no more.

Many Wishes For A Speedy Rcovery Geo!!!! You Can Do This And It Will Work!!! Woooot!

So when did everyone start doing more strenuous exercise? Like running for example. That has always been the best way for me to shed pounds so I want to try and jog/walk. I am thinking in week 3 I can try it. MORE MORE MORE!! I am obsessed! I am eating so good/healthy/according to plan without being hungry!!! WOOOOOOOOT!! My obsession with seeing the scale go down is like a torrid love affair!!

Maria, Try doing your introduction in the "Introductions" forum. Many more people will see it there and respond to you rather than in a thread that has nothing to do with welcoming new people. I spent a couple of days just surfing around and getting the hang of all the cool controls and ways to post first. Congrats on your decision though and welcome to LBT!!!

OMG Trish!! Stop it! I am only a little over a week post op and your making me hurt from laughing so hard!!!! This thread has me cracking up!!!

That is cool looking. I just wish I knew how to see it all and what I was looking at. To me, I see an upside down rabbit with long ears. Anyone else see that?

much luck and many good wishes Tanya! Come back and make a speedy recovery!!

I was banded on Wednesday and was back to a desk job on Monday. Now it is Wednesday and I couldn't do any heavy lifting or anything, but I can now lift up the neighbors 6mo old baby for some lovin'! Every day seems to get better and better. Driving is a bit of a pain though because of crawling in and out of the car still. Just uncomfortable really, not painful. Driving is okay for a quick trip to the store, but I don't want to be in the car for more than ohhhh 15 miles or so. How old are your children? I know there was no way I was picking up a baby or anything in the first week. (although I did paint my pantry on Sat and Sun after sugery, bad jenna but I had my boys move all the food stuff)

the port is placed in the abdominal wall. It does not stick out at all.

I have seen it, a long time ago. Very scary and eerie but then I went out and smoked and the gross feeling just passed me by. Ummmmm, Penni. Still fighting the good fight! I didn't smoke the whole time in Mexico (4 days) but stress levels pushed me over the edge and I snuck one when I got home. I never ever have more than 3-4 a day though. I am still trying. I need to get more Patches next time I go to Mexico. The patch works I just hate putting it on because of the gross "scum" it leaves from the sticky stuff. It is soooo hard to get off and I scrub my skin raw with alcohol trying to get it off! But I will NOTTTTT give up the fight! i am going to try again and again every day! Thanks for asking!

Thanks everyone.... ((blushes)). And this weight loss has me itching at the seams to get out there and exercise to speed it up!! I want to lose more more more!! But alas, I have to wait for at least 3 weeks before going to do heavy exercising like running. I LOVE MY BAND!

Ok, don't all yell at me at once. I began watching Idol but then could never pin point what night it was on!! When is it??

I had surgery on Wed and was back to work on Monday. (a bit uncomfy but no pain and it was a desk job). I think a photography class is a GREAT idea! Or maybe a class that you can sit and draw? I too had to quit cigarettes. (actually, I am still trying to kick them fully as I "slip" now and again, but I keep trying and will never give up!) Sure you will be missing out on some social functions for a bit, but soon you will be out and having fun and with a thinner new you!!! Good luck!

Congratulations Michelle! You should go have your after pictures taken and pamper yourself the whole day as a treat! Get make up done, hair done, mani/pedi, the works!!

Ok, I am astonished! Did someone come mess with my scale? I have lost 11 pounds in just a week and 1 day??? come on! I couldn't possibly have had 11 lbs of Water weight could I?? Someone is pulling an early April Fool's on me I am sure of it!!

Congrats on your upcoming date! I hope all goes well and smooth! Jenna

Many wishes for a speedy recovery Kendra! congrats on getting your band date!!

my favorites for formal wear is www.catherines.com and www.nordstrom.com also, remember that you can never go wrong with a classy slimming pant suit!! I have a dark blue one that is a catch all for almost everything!

Amber, I too went through all of the emotions you are having. I was an emotional roller coaster! But congratulations on your band date! Wow, it is coming soon! I was very assured during my "freaking out" stage that the emotions are all very normal. I wish you much luck in recovering quickly!
