Ewww...I could not eat fish either after seeing that! I just got back from the store and I stocked up on fruits and veggies. I am willing to give the ovo-lacto vegetarian thing a try and see how it works. The thought of meat (especially chicken) is making me shudder...

When is your port revision surgery? I know you've already said it somewhere but I can't remember. I hope it's not too far from now...I can't imagine having to go on willpower alone for too long.

I voted yes! I know I'll need it, lol! I don't know if a tummy tuck helps. I think I did hear that a LBL helps take care of it. I dunno? I plan on having a LBL, BL, and my arms done. I guess a mons lift too if the LBL doesn't take care of it.

Let me first start out by saying that I've never been a big meat eater to begin with. chicken is just about the only meat I like. Ok, so yesterday I was on my way to the YMCA to work out, here in Moultrie. I was sitting at a red light and a Sanderson Farms Truck pulls up beside me. It's loaded with chickens. Well, the red light was soooo long and I was looking at these chickens and two things disturbed me. 1.) I knew these chickens were about to die! 2.) These chickens looked terrible! Most of them had no hair on their rears and just looked so unsightly. My parents have chickens (only for eating the eggs), so I know they peck at each other and that's why they had no hair there. This just made me feel sick... I've tossed around the idea of becoming an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian since being banded and I think this was the last straw. One of the most successful bandsters I've met on LBT is an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian (who's name is Chickie- no pun intended). Hopefully ya'll don't think I'm too much of a weirdo, but I had to share. It was almost like an epiphany. As I'm sitting here reading my post, it's kinda funny, but I can't help it. Anyway, just wanted to get it off my chest.

Leslie I'm guilty too! Night time is the worst for me. I was telling nip50 that I get the major munchies at night. It doesn't help that I am such a night owl. In fact, my DH has a huge bag of cool ranch doritos that have been calling my name. I was telling DH last night that I am going to buy some fruits and veggies to snack on. It does get better with time though. My recent fill doesn't allow me to go as overboard as I used to. I say kudos to you for only eating 5 chips. I don't know that I could stop at 5.

Thanks nip! I am trying to go to bed earlier. My normal bedtime is around 2:00am. Last night I went to bed at 1:00am, so I am gradually trying to go to bed earlier. I am the type of person that can survive on 5 hours of sleep and be fine. I used to have a cup of hot tea, SF hot chocolate, or SF hot apple cider at night. I may give that another try. Thanks for the tips!

Nip, what time do you eat dinner? Night time is when I seem to get the hungriest, so what do you do to get you through the night?

Can you eat solid foods without PB'ing? If so, why are you having soup 2 times a day? Sounds like you need to be eating more solid foods. Is it possible you are too tight and may need an unfill?

Oh, no...you didn't confuse me, I'm just not very good with stuff like this. I tell you what, if DH can't help me figure it out I'll give you a call. I'll be going to the Y in a little while so I won't be home for a while. Hopefully he can help me out with it...he's usually good at stuff like this. Thanks!

Okay, thanks! I'm totally lost but I will try...

Ok, I just downloaded Yahoo Messenger. Now what? LOL, I don't have a clue how to work it. Can you shed some light on it for me?

Hey ladies! It's already been done. Here's the link Powder Room Gone Wild (New!) - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum Love the name!!

Whoooo Hooooo Renewed! That's something to celebrate!! I hope to be there soon!

Hello everyone! I thought I would update my progress pictures. Me at 330 lbs! [ATTACH]13874[/ATTACH] My most recent picture at 245 lbs! [ATTACH]13873[/ATTACH]

Great NSV's everyone! Keep em coming! It's so inspiring to hear such positive changes.

You may have the same problem I had. I tried to put my name, my stats, and a ticker and it was giving me the same message. You need to PM alex and explain that you can't change your signature. He said mine had some kind of code on it that shouldn't have been there and it sounds like your problem is the same as mine. Give alex a PM and he should be able to correct it.

I've been taking Actoplus Met since last November. It's Actos and Metformin in one pill. I have noticed some big changes. It keeps my weight loss steady and it does help with my facial hair. Sometimes I'll go for a while not taking it, and my weight loss stalls and my facial hair grows faster. Applesmith, have you seen an Endocrinologist? If not, I highly recommend seeing one. My Endo is the only one that has been able to help me. My Gyno is the one that diagnosed me but was no help to me at all.

Nite Renewed!

Hahaha! If my DH has "other plans" he sits up with me for a while making "not so subtle hints"...it's really cute. We have soooo hijacked this thread...oh well, it's fun!

I do too! I think some of the ladies came up with "Powder Room" and Alex added the "Gone Wild" part! Too funny! But it makes me think of "Girls Gone Wild"...

You've got lots of kids to chase so I can definitely see how that would make you tired. If I try to go to bed at a decent time, I just lay there...and lay there...and lay there. DH can fall asleep at the drop of a hat! It's funny how different we are, but it seems to work...

Hello Ladies! We have our own little room now. Kinda cool....

Hahaha! I love the heading Alex....too funny!

LOL, I'm the same way! Too bad my DH is the complete opposite...

....when your 2 year old child eats more than you!
