Gladster, you are right! I would rather be with a "nice" person with a few extra pounds, than a snot that thinks they are all "it" because they are thin!!!! Any day of the week!!!!! We are really just regular people, with big hearts, and a craving for success!!!! We will get that one, by darn!!!!

I may need to get some of those, I wonder if I can return the ones I bought?

I bought the Gas X chewables, I didn't pick up the package for the strips to see what to do with them, talk about lazy, huh? Sounded from what I have been reading that I will need them, lol!

OOHHH, never thought about the arm motion!!!! Could cause a problem! Good point!

Coltonwade, I don't know anything about a Gazelle, but anything we do has to be better than nothing! We are big Jr. fans too! I see your symbol! What will we do when he changes teams? We haven't been too fond of Gordon up until now, lol!

Lynette, I can't believe you are walking that much already!!! Wow, you are really feeling that good? Thanks for sharing!

Trystelle, I know what you mean about reading the horror stories! I did that too ... scared the paduccahs out of me!!!! Needless to say, I don't do that anymore! I find this much more reassuring and easier on my nerves!!!!!! I hope Chimboree has this right, because I am copying and pasting ... the old brain can't remember all of these usernames, lol! Welcome to ... IcyBreeze, Jnkntrnk, JDHJ861jr, and Gladster12. Thanks, Chimboree!

Lynette, Did your dr. recommend any certain amount of time for exercise or walking? Or are you doing it as you feel able or necessary?

Lynette, Wow! You are doing sooooo well! What an inspiration! I will be happy if things go that way for me on Monday!!!!

Well, I am on my pre-op diet of Slim Fast 2 times a day at 3 oz. mixed with 1 oz. of skim milk twice a day. Then one 350 calorie meal or lower. This is a 2 week pre-op diet to shrink the liver. Not bad, but hungry now and again! Smart Ones, Lean Cuisine, and Healthy Choice have become my BEST friends, lol!

Hey, thanks, losingjusme, awesome! I was worried about that one, didn't know if I could "sip" for the rest of my life, lol!!!!!!

Lynette, Do you need to take any timed release pills? Curious how you handle those! Glad you are doing so well!

We got to visit London while are daughter studied abroad, what a beautiful place! We loved every second of it!!!!

Do you have to "sip" liquids forever or is that an early in banding issue?

Prune juice always does the trick too ... LOL!

Dini, Sorry to hear of your mishap!!!! That had to be painful, but I am sure it was an accident! You don't feel there was any harm done, do you?

Lynette, that is sooooo something my husband would say!!!!! LOL Everyone that has just gone for surgery sounds great!!!! Congratulations and thanks for keeping us posted! I will be joining you very soon!!!!

AppleBlossom, Congratulations on your date! I will be joining you as well on the 9th. Looks to be a busy day of banding ... by my count ... 10 of us!!!!

Bun1, you and I will share the same surgery date!

Thanks for the link! It will be quite helpful!

Felicia, where can I find that list?

Oh boy, what a question! You wouldn't even believe the things that have happened to set this ball in motion ... what a soap opera:mad:!!!!! It had to do with my parent's divorce and losing family as I knew it to be ... mind you I was no youngster, but rather 35. Still, my addiction of choice was food! I ate myself into oblivion!!! I really solved the problems of the world, how 'bout it? Oh well, regardless of how, here I am ... now, to take the steps to fix it all!!!!! LOL:clap2:

:faint:It took me from November of 2005 until now to get things rolling ... mostly insurance related and waiting til they approved it!

Danny, Good luck with the July 9th date! I will also be sharing that one, lol! It will be for the best!
