Good Morning :mad: I only have a few minutes b/c I have to run DD to school. Zeppi, thats so neet you got to see Carnie. My nephew basically lives in manhatten and he as run into so many stars. His favorites are Madonna which he got to meet, and he was at a bar one night, got up to go to the bathroom and when he got back there was some guy with a BIG hat sitting in his seat. It was BOY GEORGE !! they partied all night and he had a good time. Betty, I'm doing pretty good. I can feel it when I do to much but then its usually to late lol. I see my surgeon tomorrow at 11 am. Beanie you go get em (the insurance co that is). Chat w/us when you have time and good for you for getting on that dreadmill !!!! As far as your DH goes.... tell him "tough titty said the kitty but the milks still good" or get over it LOL !!! men. Cindy, you do what you feel is right for you. But you brought up some good points about hanging on to food for comfort. I agree with you and the chicklets here that just go a little at a time. All I think about is how painful this operation was and that I did it to lose weight, and I'm not going backwards. My goal is for this spring. I want to go bike riding with DD :mad: Do you have some sort of goal(s) that will keep you pumped? if not, start thinking and make some. Okay my darlings, I must run. I'll talk to you all later Have a great day. Ira, Lisa, Ray, Pat ***WAVE***

That is so cool, so Beanie, Betty and Cindy are meeting this saturday... ohhhh that is awesome !! I wish I could be there :mad: Cindy, IMHO now..... If I were in your shoes, which I'm sure I will be soon, I would take a chance on another fill. I mean the reason we got the band was to lose the weight and if your not losing then I would say go for it. Just tell the doc to put a little bit in. I don't know how much you normally get but if you wanna go easy just tell the doc to cut it in 1/2. I understand about the PBing...that IS very scary and ICK. Seppi, whazzzzzzzup? I'm in bergen cty. There are a few people who surf the boards that are from NJ and in your area. I belive Alexandra is one of them. 35 lbs is pretty darn good, but I understand where your coming from. I keep telling myself I would like to lose 10 lbs a month. To me thats a safe goal. I don't want to rush it b/c to me and IMHO slow is good as long as its steady :mad: So this is day 10 of starvation uuuuuuuuuh !! GOT food? ROFL

Boobie Pottydoodle :mad: Yeah, it fits :mad:

HOWDY !!! Sorry I'm not posting in the mornings, I am taking DD to school and hanging w/my mom until she gets out. It doesn't make sense for me to go home and then all the way back a few hours later. Ira, ya gotta round up those men Yeeehaaaw. They're probably not posting b/c they ARE shopping at home depot LOL. Zan, I forced myself to try to sleep on my side. I dunno, maybe its just the way my flubber flows. Its tender but getting better and every night it gets easier. Try proping some pillows under your belly or only laying partially on your side with some blankets to prop your back up. I don't know how I cook for these knuckleheads either...the smell of the food is driving me bonkers. How are you doing? Cindy, gee, I don't know what to tell you about the fill, thats really a personal choice. Is it that you can eat to much thats causing the stall or are you choosing the wrong foods? Why do you think you'll choke on foods ? Well I went shopping today, got some new jammies and 2 pairs of mens sweat pants. I can't buy my pants in the womens dept b/c they are to short. Watcha all doing today ?

Good luck Francesca (((HUGS)))

Beautiful Post !!!!

Hey there !! I don't know how much I've lost but this is day 10 with NO food, just Water, some juice and a cup of broth. I'm starving, I wanted food my 2nd day out LOL !!! and the hallween candy is driving me bonkers. I'm doing good though. Friday I see the surgeon and I'm gonna ask if I can get on some solid liquids like cream soup or thick Protein shakes... anything !! How are you feeling? I'm doing rather well, just came home from shopping :mad:

HEY Janet, good to see you. I'm still burping as well and I had it on the 24th. Other than being soooo hungry I am up and running around, going to stores, cleaning, cooking, the only thing I'm not doing is lifting. I made some ckn today with some cream sauce and I did taste the sauce. I can't wait to go on mushy food, I'm going nuts LOL. I'm glad your doing well. Take care and feel better.

Feel better Mikie, talk more when your up to it. I'm glad your home

MIKIE !! Good to see you. Check back in when your feeling better. HUGS

Thanks I saw this on TV.

Nervous was my middle name. CONGRATULATIONS !!! HUGS !!!!

Its Your Birthday ! Its Your Birthday ! Its Your Birthday ! WHOOHOOOOOO!

Hey Girls, gee I forgot it was November and I posted this morning on octobers. I think y'all have a little jersey deep down inside Beanie, thanks for starting up November, who knows how long it would have taken me to realize we weren't in october anymore ROFL. KEEP at the insurance hineys, they'll give in to you b/c they know how determined you are. BETTY !!!!!!!!! 9 WHOPPIN pounds THATS AMAZING. Congratulations. Cindy sugar is evil.... the more you eat the more you want. DROOL !!! lol Maggie... Welcome My MIL had surgery last night, I just got off the phone with her and couldn't understand a single word she said. One the connection was crapy and two, I'm hard of hearing... what? So I'll wait until DH comes home to tell me what she was saying since he was / is there. She had a lower bypass, from the hip to the knee. Today I went to the doc for antibiotics to get rid of this cold that I've had for what 5 weeks now, so I'm on antibiotics round 2. DH is the same way, round 2 for him and dd is just finishing round 1. Then I did some laundry, took down the halloween decorations outside and put up some fall / thanksgiving stuff. Played with DD outside, made delicious chicken in the crock pot... NO I didn't eat it but I did taste the sauce It was a new recipie, dry italian dressing w/ 1/3 cup of Water and some boneless ckn breast. Let that cook in the crock pot for 3 hrs on low and then I added a can of ckn gravy, sour cream and a few pats of butter to the ckn and let it cook a few more hours on low. At the end I chopped up the ckn and added some mushrooms and carrots (canned). I also made some rice along with it. DANG !!!!!!!!! I snuck some sugar free hot chocolate tonight... what? So, whats shakin with the rest of you lovies tonight?

Oh so sorry to hear about DD. I've never heard of this myself. My insurance company took their sweet arse time as well until I called and demanded an "Expidited 48 Hour Review" that for some reason was the magic words to use with BCBS and I had my answer 2 days later, the friday b/4 my monday surgery, so you know I was going nuts. Good Luck !!!!

Hope everyone is doing good !!!

Good Job !!

Good morning How is everyone today ? Cindy, I bet your daugher looked darling. 100 kids, yikes! Our street is dead end, really long w/no street lights or sidewalks and woodsy, so we only get the kids that know us which is only a handful that live on the street. I used to give out the full size candy bars when we had more kids coming Pat, so much for a good named furniture place huh. When we were first looking I wanted leather sooooooo bad but DH wasn't comfy in the couches I selected. So now he suffers in the couch he selected. MEN! they should know better than to question their wives, especially chubby ones that know a comfy couch when they place their big butts in it ROFLMFAO LOL. Its always nice to say... I told you so Beanie, OF COURSE you get brownie *hahahaha* points for exercising, just think, you burned off what you ate, maybe not 100% but it was better than just sitting. GOOD JOB !! I'm staying home today and cleaning this mess. I'm so tired of looking at it and I want to take down the halloween decorations and put up Thanksgiving ones. I have to go to my doc b/c I'm coughing like crazy and I'm guessing that ain't good for the band eh ~ lol. Combo allergies / cold. So whats rockin with you all ?

Big Trouble: A husband was in big trouble when he forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife told him "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes zero to 200 in 2 seconds flat". The next morning the wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Funeral arrangements for the husband have been set for this Saturday.

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE Hi Betty, thanks for the sticky I LOVE the idea of your party tonight, that is way to cool. What kind of cake did you make? yes, I want details lolol....I'm a glutton for punishment. Where is everyone today? Must be that sugar rush from all this halloween candy floating around. Fur shame people fur shame I did alot of walking today w/dd trick or treating, and I went shopping. Nothing much is new, I did sleep on my side yesterday which was heavenly, now only if I can have FOOOOD !!! as if you all didn't already know that. Do you all get lots of kids? I think we got maybe 10. Its really a good thing I cant eat b/c those candy bars would be ALL gone by now. I won't be posting in the mornings when I'm driving DD to school, but I'll post as soon as I can. Well I'm outta here... ttyl
