Well Karen I would like to know what are safe/date foods. I always think about that. I may want Soup because I know it won't get stuck but it can drip on me. I try to stay away from meat ie chicken, pork, beef. I have been getting seafood but it is not always great because it is not a seafood place. I want to drink but you can't drink and eat. What are we suppose to do. Don't wait for him to call. You plan something that you are comfortable with and invite him. No chicken in the picture please. Ice cream always go down so invite him out for dessert. I know I would. Me personally I would tell him about the band. I find it hard to not tell.

Oh she is beautiful, so happy and look at those eye lashes. She is such a happy baby....she must be enjoying the spots in her eyes after the flash. LOL I love happy babies (in my baby voice).

Yes I did. Right after deciding to have surgery I couldn't stop eating. Just write everything down that you eat with the calories for now. It is good to see what you are eating and the number of calories can be a real turn off. Start practicing your good food choices. They still taste good.

Just want to let you know that since you feel more, if there is a recipient on the other end, she can feel more also. Woohoo 2 for 1.

I am sure that constitutes a male only statement.

You are normal. Some food will get stuck today and not tomorrow. Some get stuck in the morning but not the evening. The turkey goes down like chicken sometimes....it don't. Sometimes it does. Jenno has a whole line of turkey lunch meats. Turkey ham, turkey pastrami and other delicious meats.

I'm not taking anything but I need to because I am shedding like a sheep at a sheep shearing contest. LSasha takes Bioten which she gets at WalMart. I will be getting some before I am completely bald. I foresee a shorter hair cut in my future.

This thought is stemed from Delarla's thread "The Greatest Gift..." I challenge everyone to make one phone call, send a card or bake some Cookies for someone you don't normally get in contact with. Do this for someone who looks like they have everything or someone you know who needs a pick me up. Encourage someone who is on a diet to keep up the great work. I love this one. It feels great when someone calls me just to say hi or I was thinking about you.

This is a tear jerking thread. Well I think my greatest gift was to a family that are friends of my brother and his wife. I was told this lady and her 2 girls were going to be over my brothers for Christmas dinner so I made sure I included them in my gift buying. I am a frugal shopper (cheap). LOL I bought the girls the same things I bought my nices, Barbies, gloves, hair scruchies and candy. I also got the mom something I don't remember what. The mom was so appreciative, she was going through a divorce at time. I don't see her often but whenever I do she thanks me for that. I just saw her last month and she still reminds me how much it meant to her. Small gestures are great, you never you know how you will touch someone.

Poor thing, I am so sorry. I am so scared to get sick in public that I try to order seafood. If I eat other things, I eat realllllll slow...chew to death....swallow.....wait....and repeat. LOL Lately I have been doing mostly liquids at work, maybe some nuts or chips and have food when I get home. I have been eating either too much, too fast or the wrong foods because I have been pbing almost every evening. Oh now that I say that 2 days it was a potato roll sandwich. I love potato rolls but they don't like me. Last night I had some lima beans, turkey neck over rice. That stuff really didn't like me, I guess it was the rice. I will try just the beans this evening.

Keri that is too funny with the Water. My doctor said drink no less then 30 minutes before a meal and no less then 1 hour after the meal so you are not pushing the food down with the water. It was difficult to get all your water in and still eat. Water then became the priority until I could drink more faster. It takes time and you don't want to become dehydrated. Good Luck

She is sick...LOL....mentally. LaTasha is feeling so well that she made it to the TOPS meeting and stayed for the whole meeting. She is looking well and is being silly. She get's the new crown and title (Ms. UTI). Thank God for them. LOL now go drink some cranberry juice and eat some yogurt. LMBO

Well I thought I gained at least 5 pounds but instead I turtled. I didn't looe and I didn't gain. I did do Denise Austin morning workout yesterday since I didn't come to work. I really need to get serious about my exercise.

Thank you guys for the well wishes. I told LSasha about your wishes. She is getting out this morning and doing well. She sounds good. The tubing came a loose at the port so she got a new port.

You go girl, you are doing well. Keep up the good work. Slow and Steady is the name of the game.

Oh Carrie I am so sorry to hear about that. I'm glad you were not in the car at the time. Thanks for sharing with us. You stay safe and carry very little personal stuff with you.

I'm happy to see you are back. We missed you. When you have to have it....don't.....at least water it down and hopefully you will loose taste for it.

LSasha experienced pain in her lower stomach Friday evening and slowly increased Saturday afternoon. She went to the the ER on the suggestion of her doctor. She had many test done ie scan, sonogram, etc. She was admitted early in the weee hours Sunday morning because her doctor said he wanted to keep her overnight to do floro Monday morning. When the doctor came in on Sunday morning he told her that her tubbing had came apart. When I visited her in the hospital she was fine because they just gave her something to ease the pain. Her doctor pushed his other surgeries back and did an emergency surgery Monday morning. LSasha is doing well, they used the port incesion and 3 new sites for this surgery. They said they put salaine in her band so she will be on liquids. I do not know how much of a fill she received or how the tubing came apart. She is going to ask all those questions this morning. She should be back to work on Monday.

Extra strength gas x and walking helped me.

Audrey you look awesome, I am just seeing these pictures. Are you under 200 yet? You look great but do you think you need any surgery? If so what are you going to have done? My recent NSV is to realize my rolls aren't as deep as they use to be. LOL They are actually rolling away. Ah ha ah ha ha ha I'm silly.

I am completly embarrassed at all that I ate yesterday. I need for it to snow tomorrow so I won't have to weigh in. OM goodness I don't know what I was thinking. I get a fill on 12/8 and I need it bad. I am going to try to do better today.

I don't know, I am not a doctor but I would take the meds and be sure to walk to keep the blood flowing. Do you live there or will you be flying home? I'm sure you have called a doctor by this time. Also, the pharmacist should be able to let you know. Good Luck, glad to see you with a healthy band.

LOL wishful thinking is a wonderful thing. I'm glad to hear it was just a mistake. Good Luck

I think 157 was a type o, myself. Good Luck Dody

My doctor told me he to continue to do the liquid to shrink the liver before surgery. I'm excited for you. Good Luck
