This is a picture of 5 lbs of fat vs. 5 lbs of muscle. So if your having a hard time staying on track i.e. dieting or exercise, just come here and take a look at this, hopefully it will motivate us AMAZING .....

Must be loud.... no? Don't chip any teeth now

I'm glad your doing well. It seems that the band is really changing peoples lives. I just wish they came out with this 20 years ago, it would have been nice not to waste so much of our precious time being miserable, yah know. Well come visit us on the Jersey board, I'm trying like heck to get folks to chat there, like every day things and not just about the band. I think its so important that people get to know each other in different ways. I just love people LOL. Hugs !!!!

WTG !!!! Good Job

You mean ribbed for her pleasure? ROFL

Here's the Groovy Ghoulies

Here's Sigmond & the Sea Monster (the co star was that kid with the red hair from Family Affair.... remember Mr. French LOL).

Thats to cool Jenna, I remember watching that show. Its funny because Saturday mornings were the best when it came to watching cartoons. I remember with each September there were new shows, some were take-offs of regular shows, like the Brady Bunch, The Jackson 5 Now there's nothing Saturday mornings (well not like it used to be thats for sure). Does anyone remember the Groovy Ghoulies (sp?).... I'll try to find a picture... Ohh and Sigmond & The Sea Monster (the Kroft shows), the evil brothers Burp and Slurp LOL

ZYXWV Zippy Yellow Xrays Whistle Vigioursly DYMMM

Chewing gum makes you produce more spit, which makes you swallow more, plus sugar free gums have manitol / sorbitol in it which is a sugar alcohol and that alone can cause alot of gas. I was wondering about chewing gum while banded.. guess I don't have to ask LOL. Nes, I'm glad you passed the gum, I can't imagine what that would have felt like if you didn't ICK !!!! Thanks for posting about your experience.

You mean to tell me NO ONE has visited you on this thread.... for shame people, for shame LOL (((jk))) Hi Trish how are you ?

You know, the other day I had a meeting (at work) with a few people and one of them was this guy who would walk right by my desk (my office now) and not even acknowledge me. This was going on for over 7 years. Well while waiting in the conference room by myself for all these people to show for the meeting, who walks in but this asswipe. He sits down and now its just the two of us. At first I didn't want to look at him but its all that I could do. I staired him down into his chair. He was like oh hi, how are you, I'm sorry I dont know your name. YEAH RIGH!!! So I looked at him with this serious look (which is NOT like me) and I said to him "you mean to tell me after 7 years you still don't know who I am, come on." He didn't know what to say, he stumbled on his words like you wouldn't believe. He was like ohhh I'm sorry, its not you its me, I have a hard time with names. So I said well it would have been nice if you even stopped to acknowledge me, especially when your coming to MY office. He babbled and tried to weezle his way out, but he knew I wasn't buying it. Can't wait to see how he reacts next time I see him. Some times you just have to call their dumb ass bluffs, ya know.

Sarah, you were born the same year as my nephew. I remember him loving Rainbow Bright, Smurfs, Care Bears, Hello Kitty. I think thats when Atari came out... which I loved !!

People at the last support group I went to were talking about this. Make sure you not only chew the living daylights out of your food but you might want to put a teaspoon of fat free gravy on the ckn just to make it moist. Start off by maybe chopping it up in your plate really well. One guy suggested just weting your mouth with Water ... not drinking water now, just wet your mouth so you have enuf moisture in your mouth so you can easily get the chicken down. Hope this helps.

Don't waste your time and money on those things. If you need to feel full eat foods enriched with Fiber. Also remember Protein keeps you fuller longer. Most importantly is to learn good eating habbits that will last your life time, quick fixes are just that. HUGS !!!

And there was my avocado green Easy Bake oven

What kind of things do you remember as a kid. Like candy, toys, clothing, etc. When I was 6 I REALLY wanted this doll called Velvet. You turned the knob in the back and her hair got short, you pressed her belly button and pulled her pony tail and her hair got long. Oh how I loved that doll. A few years after I got her I decided she needed a hair cut ROFL !!!

WTG Margo !!! :D :D :D

Hi C Congratulations on all your committment, I really admire you. I can understand your sense of failing, I feel the same way. I posted the other day about wanting the band so badly but at the same time I feel like I"m going to fail or I'm going to get rejected w/my insurance. I guess b/c we work so hard at things, more so than others that when failure comes, we kind of expect it. I don't know what to tell you except to try to keep your thoughts positive. We do deserve good things, we really do. Your stats look GREAT !!! WTG

Part TWO of the nut exam is today at 3 pm. I'm reaaaaaaaaaly getting tired of running all over North Jersey with gas prices being the way they are ... (not really, I just like complaining )

Let me translate that for you..... SHE IS NUTS !!!! I wanted to take Ira home with me but I didn't think his wife or my hubby would appreciate that Your to kind Ira, really. And he's just as friendly and warm with big blue sparkling eyes. I kinda had fun at the Support Group meeting last night, even with everyone complaining about the chick who wouldn't SHUT UP!!! My offer still stands, I'll rough her up in the parking lot before the next meeting LOL SNORT ~~ I know that one guy would appreciate that. (jk)
