I'd have to say beverage markers. Or tooth picks for poker playing horses

My heart breaks for those Ana girls and boys...sigh.

I gave my surgeon a 2 page list of diets I've been on since the 1970's (including exercise clubs I joined, the years I joined etc.). I told him I really tried to remember all the diets I was on. I mean from the Aydes appetite candies, the Grapefruit diet, my mom's broiled hamburgers and green bean diet to today, Atkins, Nutrasystem, WW...etc. I told him just to write that I started a new diet every stinkin monday LOL.... funny but true.

In the past I've lost 150 lbs in about 18 months. It came off quickly at first but towards the end I really had to exercise to keep the wl going (of course I gained it back sigh). YOU CAN DO IT !!!

Egads band phlegm..... I have allergies and have had phlegm so bad I gag on it, actually thats what I'm trying to get rid of now. Lisa I'm glad your taking care of your baby band. Feel better soon !!! Good talking to you yesterday

Its all about training the brain isn't it. Sorry I can't give you any advice Just know I'm thinking about you **BUG HUG**

Being disgusted can make you motivated. I have 100 whoppin pounds to lose and my BMI is 37.1 go figure??

WHAT IF !! gee thats my middle name, RIGHT GUYS !!! I've been saying that for months and I guess I'll keep saying it even after surgery. The waiting and waiting and running to this doctor and that doctor uhhh !!! I feel burnt out too, but I know in my heart that this is a good thing. It really tests a person doesn't it. If you want it bad enuf, you'll do what you have to, to get it. Its good to surf, and its good to learn everything there is about the band, the good and especially the bad. Wearing yourself out and knowing as much as you can sure beats the crap out of going into this not knowing a thing. I believe things happen in Gods time, not ours. The only way you'll succeed is if you try, otherwise you'll never know.

Lisa, how are you feeling today?

Good Morning KARLA !! I'll be praying for you... HUGS !!! Well another happy day w/out the bodd :( Ray, good to see you and thanks.

Oh good gosh !! I'm sorry to hear about this mix up. Hopefully your doctor can get on the phone and fix it. Hang in there Andrea.

When I was following the Atkins diet, I had a funny dream that I was going down a HUGE slide and on one side of the slide there were donuts on the other side of the slide there were ice cream bars. The object was to slide down and grab as much food as you can. I woke up laughing my ass off. I also used to dream of my favorite candy Pnut M&M's....sigh. You can keep looking at your cook books, except this time, try to figure out ways to cook your favorite meals more healthy. It could be fun !! Your not alone

Uggg So much for the old saying... "my eyes are bigger than my belly"
