  1. I sure didn't have enough pain to warrant something like that (I googled it) It sure would've been nice when I had back surgery or my knees replaced!
  2. If I were young and single I would get a job that involved a lot of traveling...ot maybe just made travel cheap and easy , like working for an airline. I'm a nurse and wish I would have had the oportunity to be a traveling nurse. My daughter was a travel agent a long time ago and had lots of travel opportunities. But now with computers, there aren't nearly as many jobs in that area. Do you have any special skills.?
  3. What kind of j0b are you looking for?
  4. I don't feel it at all except when I get something stuck. Then I feel pressure.
  5. Sounds like too much frozen stuff. Try with more liquid and less ice. Good luck. I love mine.
  6. I have to agree with Shortgal. There is a lot more to good health than being skinny!
  7. I bought an actitrainer and I don't like it and don't use it.
  8. They keep coming in my e-mail. I got rid of my "Dick" 11 years ago. Don't want another of any size. I hate w ith a passion the whiney fibromyalgia one where she reads from her journal...gag gag gag Beflro valentines I gagged at the couple talking baby talk while buying phones. Who thinks up this junK?
  9. EEEKKKK, I'm afraid they would scare the dogs!
  10. I found pureed pineapple by the fruits that come in the little individual cups. I love it with cottage cheese. I'm still using it even though I'm not required to eat mushies.
  11. I want a picture of Jack up there. I've got the hots for his brain!

    Absolutely agree! Can you get that message to the News reporters?
  13. I have a slimfast.
  14. I'm glad you found us too! It's so nice to have friends our own age here. Tell us more about yourself. To find us in the furture, from the home page scrool down to the age groups and then to the 60s
  15. Hi Davids girl......I'm thinking you may have a problem with depression that needs to be addressed. I think about 75% of us over weight ppl are on anti-depressants. As far as family support, some have it, some don't. It's nice if you do, but not necessary. This is something you have do do for yourself. Follow Phyll's advice. Best wishes to you. If you don't mind I'll say a prayer for you.
  16. I'm staying on plan today because I want to take my dog for long walks when the snow melts.
  17. I welcomed Linda and Patchelton earlier today and for some reason it didn't post. Anyway I'll say it again. Welcome to our site. We are so glad to have you.
  18. You've come to the right place for information. Be sure to read all the informative forums. There is a poll somewhere on how ppl have done with their bands. The great majority are very happy but there are some that haven't worked out. It takes a lot of work and dedication. It's not a quick fix at all.
  19. Hi Tytrice, You will gets lots of help if you spend more time here. It sounds like you Dr isn't educating you on how to work the band. If you can't get it from him, try else where. And get a fill somewhere. You are wasting the opportunity to have your band work for you.
  20. Hi all you 60's, I also belong to another board, a much smaller one. It's Band2gether.net (b2g) Lap band Support Forums - Powered by vBulletin Nice group of people but only a couple in their 60s. They are planning a week end in a hotel (room deal 89$/ night) in Charolotte NC May 2-4. They are inviting any banded folks and families . They also have a campsite for folks with motor homes, campers etc. (I'm not about to drive mine that far) I wish some of you would go. I don't know if I can keep up to all those young people. They plan to party at night. I turn into a pumpkin at 9pm! Will some of you please check it out? If no one is interested, what would be the odds of some of our group getting together somewhere sometime? That would really be fun! I would love to meet you guys!

    I agree...gee it wasn't as though one of them was dying! I did admire Mark for saying he would leave. It wouldn't have been fair to see Roger go.
  22. Well I would be bummed too. I think I would keep pestering until he fixed it....Or maybe say"if you DON"T KNOW HOW could you recommend someone who does?"
  23. Hi Girls, I'm from Wi too. Live in Baraboo which is near the Dells. I guess that's way too far for coffee. It's nice to "talk" to you though.
  24. Yes. Be honest about everything. I think a good share of us (obese ppl) have depression. The Docs know that. We've been self medicating with food for years. They kknow that.
