I'm so glad your band is good and that you can be treated.... WONDERFUL !!!!!! HUGS

Happy Bandiversary Captain Jack !!!

Mega prayers to you sweetheart, please let us know as soon as your up to it how you are feeling. Love Yah !!

When I was first out I would take bites as small as 1/2 a teaspoon. I'm ashamed to say I take regular fork fulls now but I chew the life out of it. I know this sounds sick, but I like having a mouth full of food, even if it takes me a 1/2 hour to chew it. I really should stop b/c I'm getting a fill soon and this will mess me up for sure. Good question !!

Michelle, call your doctor and go get checked out. Your in my prayers.

You got it Sweetie and a big ol hug. Good Luck !!!

Penni, I think one of the healthies ways of eating is the Mediterranean diet. It focuses on veggies, fish and chicken, whole grains and olive oil. When the new year begins, I will try to follow this as my weight loss program. I will also do this for my family too. Its great b/c you can fill up on healthy veggies and make them tasty too. If you have a Trader Joe's near you you can get alot of this stuff there at a good price. http://www.mediterraneandiet.gr/ Good luck sweet lady, let us know how and what you decide to do !!!! .

Well he does

Well then why is it okay for big guys, like sumo wrestlers or bug guys at foot ball games to expose their double D cups to the public ? WTF? haaaa.

Good Morning Ira thats a beautiful picture and you look GREAT !!! You should use that as your avitar. Thanks for sharing Cindy enjoy the time off. Pat I have that antibacterial stuff in the car and the first thing I did was use it, ick. But I already have a cold (not from there). Dianne have a good trip to NJ !! How long are you staying here? Well FIL had his testing and they found nothing. They seem to think that when he was throwing up he might have burst something duh!! (this hospital is so stupid anyway) he's not bleeding anymore so they don't now. He'll prob stay there for a day or two to get some fluids and food in him. If he was my dad I would have taken him to Hackensack and not Valley, they aren't equipt to fight a cold. vent over LOL. I have to wake DD up and get her ready for school. So my dearest friends, I'll try to stay away from those blasted cookies and you all have a wonderful day okay !! Love Yah !!

Lisa, come on. Didn't you know Dr. Laura is perfect and doesn't have any faults, get with it girl Dr. Phil looks like a penis in a suit. JMHO

Sorry Lisa, society is just not ready, at least not in this country. Personally I wouldn't want my flap-jacks flappin around for everyone to see, ICK!

Sorry Christine brain fart LOL !!!!!

Dang gum it !!! Normally I don't eat after 7 pm b/c I go to bed at 8 and it just doesn't feel good sitting in my chest when I'm laying down and its to close to dinner. Anyway, I decided to let myself have some Snacks tonight. I had a few crackers (okay alot of cheese crackers), a handfull of M&M's and let me just say it was the WRONG thing to do. My chest didn't hurt, I didn't pb but my left side felt like it had a knife in it. I had to walk around like crazy and about 1 hour later I sounded worse than a room full of drunken sailors. I bet I came close to the world record with those burps. I feel better but what has me baffled is why would my side hurt? Strange eh. Lesson learned and hopefully NOT repeated.

Whats a tuna bite ?

I could have got a fill this week but I opted for January 6th

He's a good sport. Out of all the diet people who have come and gone, I really love him.

It depends on your frame as well. Even though I'm tall and every one thinks I'm big boned, I'm really medium. Right now I'm probably a size 7, 8 (can't fit into my wedding rings ) but when I reach below 200, my ring size goes to 5 1/2, 6.

Good Morning, Cindy have a wonderful time at the luncheon today. Thats what we did with our department too, no christmas "party" just a lunch which was very nice. Patty, good luck at the doc's today (eeek). Silly !!! Dianne, whats going on with you girlie ? pneumonia is not fun, I had that last summer after my doc misdiagnosed me. Take care of yourself. My DH took my FIL to the hospital yesterday, it seems he in bleeding internally and they don't know from what. He was sick over the weekend, had the runs, throwing up and passed out in his living room and didn't go to the emergency room. We find all this out yesterday when he was so weak to drive himself to the doctors... OY So today I'm running DD to shool and then I have to get my MIL and take her to the hospital to see her husband. She can't drive b/c she's only got one leg and is about 70 lbs soaking wet, she had her good leg operated on during thanksgiving so she's a mess herself. I myself have blood work for my band doc so I'll get that done while I'm waiting in the hospital with MIL. oy vey. Thadda be my day, how about you all ? Whats shakin. You know I already had 2 Cookies this morning...........eeek and its not even 7 am yet.
