oh please do - i'd prefer one who had to revise to the sleeve. most mods fall into that category right???? cause this ole' band never causes problems - unless you do it to yourself.....

**snort** really, i should follow your dr's directions or everyone else here (s'pcially them not at goal) cause those rules are just so important and you won't be successful w/out. i should fire my dr - shame on him for putting that band in me w/less than 100lbs to lose. should call the AMA on him??? but i gave him 30k for my band & DH's - should have saved that coin - got fatter and used that money for new teeth had i known i'd have to chew till i grinded them down. or wait - what if i had a complication & decided i enter those threads and well, those w/out have a lot to say.... things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMM

fantastic!!!

KC absolutely is.!.!.!. i think the IL are moving for many reasons: * DH no longer pays attention to them - she (MIL) cried wolf about too many times and he just can no longer stand her * north texas (dallas) is not cheap to "retire" to * we have no kids (shame on me) - so nothing to keep them here * SIL is getting married (gay) DH is her best man (LOVE him for that) and well, line in the sand drawn......this of course all my opinion..............giggling & snorting:)

* DH has allowed me 3 days to gloat, smirk, laugh, giggle, throw a parade & buy a new house warming present for his parents. the good karma is their moving an hr from my parents and i should sick my mom on them.....LOL TPG - go back 2 - 300 pages ago w/MIL dramz (especially around christmas time). * diva - i can only use the shappers every other time, i was getting charlie horses in my calf/toes. bought more bananas just in case:) * ebony - hope you find some fab 14 shorts. there are some GREAT sales going on, i hit dillards yesterday real quick - and to buy off the rack not try on and pay nothing was the biggest NSV so far. * KC, again i would like to thank you for the doggie treats. i have been spoiling the dogs w/them & DH even tried one today; he said you can cook for him anytime.

thank you much ebony ; are you doing any weight training? oh good GRIEF!!!! watch for me on TV tom night at boys' game:) i'll be the one w/the giant bcap on:)

i miss taps as well - i hope she's at least lurking and see's our notes willing her to come back!!!!! yes, diva - it's thursday and i have gotten "some" stuff done; i've just gotten a bit lazy lately and let a few things house/ranch slide .... oops *** for slim *** - christmas came early for me, MIL/FIL are MOVING to florida........ the collective cackle, laugh & snort can be heard from TX if you listen closely:)

i actually spend way too much time & $$$ @ whole foods & watching food porn:) think my ADD keeps me changing up the variety:)

i see we both changed the avi's tsday - nothing wed - 30min treadmill / 30min stairmaster today - spin class (ltr in the day)

very true. like parrothead cathy - i don't enjoy a gym that doesn't have a decent sampling of ALL types, but i'm a bit land locked in the country having only 2 choice w/30mins of me. that said - i would put your ipod/mp3 on & get lost in your own world. i think anyone that would comment or stare at someone actually DOING something about their weight, are persons i wouldn't waste my breath on. good for you getting out there & good luck on your journey.

tell me diva.... yesterday - b- 2 slices of grilled watermelon, 4oz cottage cheese l- 4 chicken pot stickers, few bites seaweed salad d - caprese salad s- greek yogurt w/granola / half banana

* send each other ingredients - you then have to come up w/a dish * great idea she came up with:)

* diva - i LOVE those shapper tennis shoes, i don't wear them all the time - but have found a great workout on the stairmaster w/them!!!! congrats on WW working out for ya; i read your thread often.!. * OK, doing laundry - not happy ... but top chef is on tonight * KC decided to pull a bobbly flay and create a food challenge w/me - it's ON! thought i'd bring all trash talking here as well as FB:) :biggrin:

i would say, get an unfill. eating wasn't really a problem till i got sick - then it followed up w/reflux. had 2 unfills w/in a wks time and it was amazing how fast the symptoms went away. i am "practicing" what i learned in about 2yrs w/portion control - but my appetite did return & a few lbs.....but i'm OK for the moment. trying to get more gym time in and push the plate away when i KNOW better not to eat more. have a checkup monday - would love to be able to ease back up some, nothing greedy ... just some assistance:)

* boycotted laundry & i think it doubled overnight??? * no peacocks - DH said NO WAY & he's just fine w/our neighbor taking the goats, think i'll ride over today & have him just pick them up * it's muggy in dallas this am as well glouc! * tpg - my experience w/this forum, is that there are some sick individuals....not healthy, tread w/caution in MO. re - surgery, get your pain/anti nausea meds filled in advanced, i didn't have gas but had some back pain & used my heating pad for 2wks. try protein drinks ahead so you have one you like, and most importantly - the phone number to your local chinese restaurant handy for delivery of soup (me egg drop)... * good news on the interview ebony * today is wed right???? i need to get my act together and get stuff done, bbl!

we have krogers here in TX & plan on looking for some this wk - thanks!!! glad your feeling better slim! yesterday - b- .5c lobster salad, .5c 4 bean salad l- slice goat cheese meatloaf, 2 big spoonfuls of spinach risotto d- @ a tapas bar picked on: taboule salad, greek flatbread w/cheese, wine, choc cheese cake:blink: * i could really use a fill here soon - go monday and i might just BRIBE my surgeon or beg profusely = or both!!!!*

***golf claps*** sums me up PERFECTLY

this a new thing slim?

i am SO glad my breakfast had already been digested. really?? that is beyond disturbing - SO grateful for the medical field that can / care for this stuff.

* grey hair - omg, what a PITA.....seems like they only hold color for 2wks then BAM, back w/a vengence. * just got heartfires user name as well - hope your hubby is safe michelle * plain & KC have nurse humor going on, have to re-read (too many mojitos i think) * ebony, good thoughts on your interview today * kristen, DH and i picked out some artwork last night; i'll take a pic when we get it back - again thanks for the link! * pool gal has a few days till surgery - exciting time, i got banded around holiday time and it was scary to start eating around turkey/xmas day * laundry fairy didn't show up yesterday; need to track him down and slap him a bit: catch ya ltr!

hi & welcome! yesterday - b- 1 scrambled egg on slice WW toast l - .5c lobster salad, .5c 4 bean salad s- slice of cheddar on rice cake d- slice of goat cheese meatloaf & .5c spinach risotto

get a floor fan & prop it up right in front of your elliptical. while i'm from NY (Long Island) - been in TX for a while now & it being 90+ for several months is the norm (we do have AC & pool). i recall my trainer having me run in 107 degree weather many a days - you just manage. as you lose, you become more fit & you can handle the heat a bit more. it's a short window (depending where your at in NY) - be fall in a blink. all the best!

taking the 5th on how many - funny you post that KC, i shot the episode link to brandy this AM ..... i loved the kimchi recp and plan on trying this wk! pool gal - you can have my arms, there tired today lifting my mojito.....must get back to normal tomorrow:)

what a fantastic story !!! much congrats!

morning all~ *kc, i have 2 goats that i have no idea what to do w/them other than let them roam & eat the grass. my neighbor said he'd take them off my hands and i just might let him have them....he wanted to trade for some peacocks - but i just wanna deal w/the dogs i have at the moment & the old man horse. *tpg - when is your surgery? soon correct? *HAPPY BDAY KAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ebony, i like your devotional posts & the NSV is awesome !!! *watermelon mojito - too early to go get the ingredients and sit by the pool all day sipping??????????? i am serious:sneaky: *changed my avi - cause i've worked very hard over the last 2yrs & so there... *happy monday - off to get watermelon:ohmy:
