  1. I am off to North Dakota for a month or 2 and dont have a computer out there and the library is 25 miles away so may not be on much but want to say thanks again to everyone who sent stuff for Katrina victims and for everyone to keep up the great weightloss progress-Ill miss everyone since Im on here EVERY DAY getting valuable info-thanks ladies-Ill miss ya!!!:cry :kiss
  2. man Im lucky in this respect-I dont have gas issues thankfully.Id be horrified-lol.I have a thing about this sort of stuff and would be completely horrified if it happened to me-I actually broke up with a guy when I was younger just because he purposely passed gas in my presence-lol.I have evolved somewhat but still do not openly do this or belch nor does my hubby and Im glad it hasnt come to a thing where itd be impossible to control-hell Id quit my job over it-lol.Hope all works out-especially for coworkers-lol.

    ok for me personally rice is a HUGE no-it doesnt break down or something-just piles up and becomes a barrier for everything and next thing I know I got a pian and Im coughing it back up-not fun not pleasant-RICE IS EVIL!!! Oh hi welcome glad to meet ya!lol
  5. dont think i was told no sodas-hope not since i drink em all day every day-Im a diet cherry pepsi addict
  6. i was late too-1030 and no one was there
  7. ok how about specific time like tonight at 10:15 central time.
  8. wow-dont think you should be having that 1 week out from surgery and even when can I think you might want to say no to sour cream for sure-eeks.
  9. there is a whole section of texas stuff down towards bottom on front page-maybe that will help also here is a page I have saved for my fills here in Houston.Good Luck http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeons+in+texas.html
  10. Penni is a godsend isnt she?
  11. Id imagine nerves is the culprit-good luck tomorrow
  12. nice job-see?it was easy once ya know.
  13. no one is ever in chat so its most likley you were indeed chatting with yourself-lol and as for the ticker just attach it as your signature in your userCP in top right corner.
  14. I am definitely lactose intolerant now-milk,ice cream all of it gives me a whole(sorry if this is overshare but hey we do that here)bad case of needing to use the restroom ASAP. so I stay away from ALL of it-sadly too with the ice cream-sighhhhhhh.
  15. I play tennis (for the big breasted gals-you MUST invest in an Enell bra-does wonders and holds them puppies down so you can enjoy game) I run/walk on treadmill at least 20 minutes a day every day-try to pull off 45 but Im lazy when it comes to this stuff. I swim but not so much so since looking for new gym-our 24 hour gym is no longer 24 hours?!?!?!? I make myself run up and down my stairs 10 times every day minimum-no excuse why I cant do that-have our roofing office phone downstairs in his office and did away with all our corless phones so I have to run from my office upstairs to get other office phone since machine will get it in 3 rings-lol.This has actually worked well for me.
  16. I go to the downtown area-near Fannin street.My fiancee drives and I jump in the back of the truck and hand out sandwiches and water.I have them form a line as best as I can as it can get crazy if they come at you from all angles.
  17. I am so sorry to hear of your lose.Im a night owl and if you want you can PM me and Ill pass along my cell number so you always have someone to talk to if you want.
  18. it is hard but you can do it-I used to smoke 2 packs of Kool Kings a day every day for years but when yo9ure ready your ready ya know?I wasnt strong enough to do it alone I used the patch-the Nicoderm patch burned my arm so I used the off brand walgreens and they worked wonderfully-Ive been smoke free for over 5 years now. Good Luck and I know you can do it!!!

    hmmmmmm-Id get me a second and 3rd opinion.
  20. my first one went very smooth-last one not so much so.
  21. yeah you wont miss em-well I did at first but then when you cough em back up a few times(or hundred in my hardheaded case) you begin to see them as evil demons that werent really that good any damn way.lol
  22. really?id loooooooooooove some help and sometimes it helps if its someone not in my immediate area since i snatch up most all the mark downs on meat in my radius-lol.maybe you could start stockpiling stuff from you area?they like vienna sausages BIGTIME(yuck),and tuna fish(really yuck),bologna,salami you name it .I feed them pb and j alot and they dont complain but ya just know when i have other stuff they are even more thankful.and watch out whenever i have sweets or chips.lol
  23. lol-well have fun.
  24. well good luck and I make sandwiches on fridays or saturdays and wednesdays-its either a sandwich or hot dog-depends on what I can get on sale.Im always lookin for someone to help with buying the stuff and making/distributing.
  25. I had surgery with dr kuri and wasnt told to lose weight but from reading on here virtually everyone was-you are told to go on a liquid diet or somehting along those lines.I believe I wasnt told to lose weight simply because mine was done so quickly-spoke to him and 5 days later I was in Tijuana with a fistful of cash and ready for action.lol.Good Luck
