want_so_bad

great job! i was just noticing too that my wedding ring is perty dang loose. it keeps turning on my finger. i thought i would wait a little longer before i have it resized too. congrats again!

his response to ghost's questions make it all the more sad! and i agree with ghost, now i really want to donate a buck or two!

i tried the strawberry atkins advantage shake day before yesterday and i could actually drink it without gagging! yesterday i tried the slimfast low carb creamy chocolate...ick. :biggrin: so i am thinking that strawberry will be my taste of choice. i will have to try the optifast. thanks! and i will be sure to stay away from the vanilla.

that is exactly what i was thinkin when i looked at it! how sad. i understand the desperation of wanting/finding funding for this, but wow! i wonder too if you arent right and its some jerkoff's idea of a joke? very sad, either way. poor guy!

jack, omg, how gross is all that crap? yuck yuck. i havent eaten mcdonalds since i was banded, well, i havent eaten burgers and fries, i have had the grilled chicken salad. and when i do go for my kids it doesnt even seem appealling, until today. for whatever reason, today it smelled and looked so good sitting on my co-workers desk!

damn co-workers damn mcdonalds damn big macs and french fries for smelling and looking so good damn adkitns advantage protein shake for not tasting like the damn big mac and french fries that look and smell so good does anyone besides me find it completely mind numbing that we can put a man on the moon and yet protein shakes taste like crap? damn damn damn ok, well, i feel better now. had to get that out here so i didnt explode! lol, thanks!

as i have stated before i am a happy dr h patient. i also shared my very honest opinion/experience in a previous post. there were good things and things i didnt like so much. i have to agree w/ mindy on this. you simply can NOT say that this is NOT true. its not a true experience for you. that is what you should have stated. but everyone misspeaks here or there. just as you stated that one person's experience may be this, someone else's experience with the same thing may be that.

you could go racing out every morning shouting "Jesus love you", "choose the right path and all will be forgive" or something extra over the top like that. you know, be the CRAZY religious nut job wanting to save everyone... i remember as a kid there was an older couple that anytime they could catch one of us would go into a huge religious speach and try to make us pray w/ them.... can you say creepy?? we did our best to stay away from their house! you could make up little flyers or something to hand to them all standin in your yard...wouldnt that be fun/funny? or go the other way and promote the dark side...???

spike strip/nails in the driveway...just remember to pick them up before you drive on them! Water your "lawn" in the morning. do you have automatic sprinkler system? set it for that time...even if you are watering dirt! even better...water it by hand/with the hose...spray anyone who is on your property "by accident"...oops didnt see you there where you shouldnt be.... be a dear and bake some Cookies and take them out to all of the little asses...make them special cookies w/ lots and lots of exlax or something...omg, wouldnt that be funny..poor bus driver/parents/school....

i have the weird shape thing going on too! and i just about wanted to cry when i looked at the link! i so need help. i am just mad that i am at work and cant measure...what size do i need? what size? anyway, thank you so much! i cant wait to measure and get one ordered. i really think this is the help i am in need of! you guys rock!

i dont like eggs...except hard boiled. every one in a great while i will have a bite or two of scrambled eggs, but not too often. i was mad because i couldnt even eat a hardboiled egg! stuck city. but with having so many in the house from easter i tried one again, and it went down fine. for one day! and now again, not a good one. seems so weird to me how that works! i really like salmon but dont dare try it because of my results with the tuna...think it would be the same?

funny how that works, but i agree. once in a while it works the other way, something i figure will go down just fine gets stuck and hurts like hell and then something i figure will get stuck goes down just fine. gotta love the unpredictibility i have sometimes. i have found though, that no matter what, tuna fish is a BIG freakin NO!! dont even attempt unless i want to die for the next hour or two (no joke). even the smallest bite kills. and yet most times chicken breast goes down. and i stress most times as it too has been known to attempt to take my life.

i had a very weak day yesterday. i made bad food choices and basically didnt give a shit while i did it. until the end of the day when i felt guilty as all get out! i was blaming it on it being that time of the month. but i cant do that! that cannot be my excuse to screw up here and there. it just cant be. i did manage to get in a short walk last night after work. it wasnt very long, but still, something is better then nothing. and i did feel better afterwards. today i am doing much better. made all great choices...low carbin it to try and curb check these cravings i fed like no other yesterday. and i am good. i feel good. besides this dang headache! i guess i just needed to post to keep myself motivated. sorry to post w/ nothing interesting or anything.

i am right there with ya! but so is george strait, dierks, kenny, tim, gary....hmmm.... all of callin my name..... lol!

omg, i am at work and just read this and busted out laughing while trying to answer the phone. i could see this playin in my head.....too funny!

i am getting frustrated with my stupid body shape. i have lost like 37 lbs and am only down like a pant size, maybe 2, depending on the pants. it sucks! i carry most of the weight in my stomach area and now it hangs even worse then before. to fit in the waist the legs and butt of the pants are huge and look funny. a better fit there means too tight in the waist and i get the spillage muffin top look which is icky too. i know i shouldnt complain, i am losing and eventually it will be catch up, its just frustrating.

i have went from a 42d to a 38c. and it is prolly more like a b cup but when i tried one on i had some spillage issues that just didnt look right so i stuck with a c. but its kinda too big. i think i will look into those 1/2 size bras i saw advertised. my chest is so small now! i figured i would lose some in my boobs but not like this! it is really starting to bother me, i think i look funny!

i live in wyoming but drive to slc for my fills. i too go to dr muse. he is great. you can get ahold of him through fillcentersusa.com or his practice name is highland family practice i believe.

kat-- i know that when i find a place that i get great service and great value, i appreciate it so much! especially now-a-days when you go walmart and the checker puts your cleaner in with your produce (omg, a HUGE pet peeve of mine) or puts canned goods in on top of your eggs! drives me nuts that people just dont seem to care much anymore. travel-- we too are in a very small town and, to toot our own horn, are the best tire place in town! we have a great reputation that is well deserved. we are the same way with service calls too! we go hundreds of miles away to do service calls for people because or our reputation and word of mouth. its great. and i think that is why it gets so frustrating when people get crappy about things, ya know? my favorite is when companies call for a service call and get mad about the amount of time they will have to wait for our truck or the amount. they get all shitty, say they will call someone else. great, fine, but i bet you call me back! and they do, and then they are more pissed because i have taken another call and they are further down on the list. husker-- i know about those last minute things! we will have people come in that have a low profile tire, or an off size and get all mad because we dont keep it in stock! and they act like we are nuts for not having what they need that second. we do really great special ordering things in for people. usually we can have it the same week they come in. or they come in and want their brakes done yesterday and we wont have an opening until the next day and they rush out muttering and all mad. lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine! my boss really built a great business. he has worked very hard to get the reputation we have. and we all just grin and bear it when people come in. we will bitch to each other, and i vent here..... but its always smiles and yes ma'ma/sir.

i work at a tire store. i am so freakin frustrated with people lately. take this morning...yet again another STUPID person.... this lady comes in all huffy puffy, just real irritated. she states "YOU put tires on my car monday and one is FLAT today. this is NOT acceptable". EXCUSE ME? first you stupid bat, I did not put the damn tires on for you! second, unless you have not moved your car from our parking lot since monday, YOU probably ran over something in the how ever many miles you have driven since then! give me a freakin break. people do this all the time. some even better. i have had a guy call and yell at me that he got his tires here 3 years ago and he has a flat and what are we gonna do about it? well you dumb ass, since flat repairs are free when you buy your tires here, we are gonna fix it for you. 3 years! 3 years! i understand the stress and inconvienence of a flat tire, i really do. but come on now people. another of our favorites here in the office....someone comes in w/ a flat tire. we fix it, find a nail/screw/rock or whatever in it. we tell them this and they respond with "well, i dont know how that would have got there"...umm, you ran it over? no wait, the flat tire fairy floated down and decided to stick one of her sharp little nails in YOUR tire, just so you had to come see us. she is on our payroll! derr..... major cases of "here's your sign" going on around here!

umm, sorry, but what is that? jachut-- it has been slime, those huge nasty trails of saliva, but they are coming up flavored this time! most times its usually just saliva, but this time, and a few others, it tastes like whatever i had eaten/am stuck on. i know its not a pb, because its just saliva, but omg, nasty!

massa- i am sure that you agonized over your decision to quit your job. i have no doubt what a leap of faith you had to take to do what you have done. i commend you for taking charge and doing what you need to do. Maybe, you wanted to have wls, to look good, maybe you wanted to have it to feel good. --yes yes, of course i want all those things...JUST LIKE YOU DO! you want this to feel better, be in better health for your daughter. i wanted to feel better and be in better health for my kids, my husband, and for myself. of course part of it was "vanity", but i think that is part of it for everyone. not a driving part, but a part still. i did not mean to imply that i thought you wanting to live was wrong. i just didnt agree with the way to which you are doing it. and, i have been out there alone, taking care of a child, alone... i too was a single mother. i know the hardships that face a single mother, and i also know that single mothers can achieve many things, despite being single. after thinking about this, i do have to say more power to you. at least you will be getting back some of what you have paid in! i still dont really agree with it, but oh well. to each their own. and i hope you have incredible success with the band! i know i love mine.

i have to say that i disagree with what you did. quit your job so that medicaid will pay for your surgery? am i the only one who sees that wrong on so many levels? shame on you for taking advantage of a system designed to help those who need it that is already taken advantage of in so many weighs! being a social worker i am sure you had seen your fair share of those people that i speak of. those who sit back and get help that really could be out there working, taking care of themselves. shame on you! many people dont have insurance coverage for wls, i didnt! the thought of quiting my job never crossed my mind. i think its great you want to be healthier for yourself and for your daughter. its great you want a lifestyle change. but this? what is it you are teaching that daughter? not if you want something bad enough, work for it. how about, if you want something bad enough, let someone else get it for you. sad sad sad.

having been sliming now for like 15 minutes i was thinkin.... what is your worst tasting slime? i have to say, right now, i think it would this one i am having now...ranch dressing. freakin nasty. not pleasant. ick ick ick. anyone else?????

WHAT? well that just sucks if its true. stupid gum! i cant say that i have noticed it..??? hmm, well then...maybe i better find something else.... and i never thought of that whole getting stuck thing. eww....
