I don't have any pointers, just prayers if thats okay Hugs !!!!

Yeah I'll say thats horrible. Report his sorry @ss. Sorry you had to suffer like that, but you really need to find a good doctor who can help you. My brother Vinnie will pop his tires, just tell us where he is (jk). HUGS

Hi Everyone !!! How is everyone this sticky hot August day? Well tomorrow is the big day. Well not THE big day but its the day I go see the surgeon's seminar w/DH. I'm excited and scared. Whats skakin with you? I figured a monthy chat might be better than a daily for now.

Dee Dee, she is my one of my favorites on the Food Network. I love to watch her taste her own food, she is soooo flippin funny. I have one of her cook books and one can drool over just reading her recipes.

So Ivan, how come you didn't do the laundry LOL jk Did the scale finally show you what you wanted to see? Paula, the weekends go by way to fast, it should be the other way around 2 days of work and 5 day weekends, doncha think. I dread the thought of getting up at 4:30 am but, somebody's gotta pay the cookie bills LOLOL I have to stop looking into my neighbors yards, every time I see their pools I start to drool... good things are worth waiting for, good things are worth waiting for, good things are worth waiting for... OY. lol Well back to helping DH with his new project.....he is building DD a bedroom set and it looks beautiful so far. I'll take pictures when its all done. He really is a great craftsman. See ya

Hi HGNJ, Congrats on the surgery. I can't say anything about the band surgery itself because I haven't had it done yet, but I can say that the shoulder pain is probably gas. I know lots of people that get that sort of pain right after surgery. I always get diarrhea and puke after surgery, I personally think for me its the anesthsia. Where in NJ are you and if you don't mind me asking, who was your surgeon/hospital? Hugs NJC

Whats your all time favorite TV shows? Then and Now Then Carol Burnette Dean Martin Roasts The Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson Saturday Night Live (from the 70's and early 80's) And so many more Now I don't get to watch much TV now b/c of my DD who's 3 and 99% of the shows we watch are Disney or PBS, but I do like: Unwrapped (lots shows from the cooking channel) Paula Dean In Living Color Mad TV

Manicure (even though I've never had one ) Game Shows or Soap's

Good Morning Its a beautiful sunny day. DH and DD just came back from walking the dog. Can't wait to lose some weight so I will have the energy to go with them. No big plans for today except laundry WHOOOHOOO lol..... (((not))). How about you?

Very heart breaking

In NJ we have a place called "The Wild Life Center" its a place that you can bring birds, bunnies, etc. I've let many wild animals go there (and they allow it). I doubt a farm would want bunnies (eating their crops lol) unless they are going to cage them. I would wait a little while, maybe you can bring them food and watch to see if their mama comes back.

Good Luck Flower, and many many prayers. Hugs

Congratulations !!!

Penni, thats awsome your going for your degree. So I have to ask b/c I know nothing about what your going for. Once you get your degree what field would you be going into. Nutritionist (sp?) ? Bravo to you !! If I ever go back to college it will be on line. I am not one for sitting in class. A few years ago I went to a local college and took Gerontology, boy oh boy did I feel awkward sitting with all those 19 year old kids LOL. Jachut, nice to meet you. Tuesday I also go to my (well I hope he'll be my surgeon) surgeon's seminar. Yesterday I mailed the letter from my GP to my insurance company. The insurance company said it would take about 2 weeks to find out if I'm approved. Jeepers, its winter by you, thats so wild because here in NJ, USA its summer and you can't get any hotter than its been lately. 90 - 100 degrees. I just came back from a BBQ. It was nice and lots of fun. But you know what I couldn't stop thinking about was how I would be eating if I was banded. It was a sad feeling in a way but then I was thinking about how much better I would feel and look once I lose some weight. Hope your all enjoying your evening

I'd like to ask just how many people have acid reflux problems after the surgery? Is this common? Thank you !!!

Most importantly you learned a valuable lesson.... (and your not dumb). Enjoy the waxing LOL

Game Night (adults right? Bath or Shower

Penni what grade do you teach? when does school start in CA? Here in NJ school starts the day after labor day. My DD will be going to Pre-K this year Relaxing by the pool sounds dreamy. DH was talking about getting one next year, I can't wait. Water exercise is the best for the body, no impact. Enjoy.

Good Morning, I thought it would be good to start a daily chat. Anyone wanna join in? Whats everyone doing this weekend? I have a BBQ this afternoon and alot of cleaning to do in the house. Other than that, nothing much is happening. I'm really hoping I can do good at the BBQ today, I'm gonna try to stay away from the food area, but you know how that goes Then tomorrow I have to do some cooking for the week, laundry and some play time with DD. How about you, any good plans?

Hi May, I'm glad your home You did this so you can get healthy, bottom line. Just remember these days will pass and you'll be feeling good and losing weight in no time. Hang in there. Hugs and Kisses
