Just wanted to touch base with you guys. I am back and ready to post! I had alot of tragedy over the last couple of months and I was really messed up. I have been doing very well with keeping the weight down but I am at a standstill. I did discover during that time that when I am upset my band gets tighter. I went for a fill on Monday but he couldn't get my port, but the strangest thing I actually felt tighter the next day. I have been on liquids and maybe he did hit it and thought he didn't...anywho I dunno I'll take it. It might just be a mind thing..I feel tighter because my mind thinks I had a fill. I really missed you guys and thank you photonut for thinking about me and your IM's and my chips and dip sista paula!!. I see alot of new people and I hope to get back in the swing of things. Peace and Blessings to all, DeeDee

I cannot wait until I get to have that done. I am with Mikey' wife on this one. I could live with your before body, lol I would be in a bikini then . Big Ups girlfriend work it out!

Name Your Band (http://www.LapBandTalk.com/showthread.php?t=10420) It was started by candysmooch. Just type that in the search and it will come up. Oh yeah Vinesqueen started one too.

Happy Bandiversary! You had your banding done on my birthday!! Too cool!!

I use Dove. I have for years and I am proud to say it still works. My sister uses addidas for women cause she had a problem with under arm odor and had to switch deodorants. Hmmm.... She also used to use secret. I wonder if it is a "secret" conspiracy:spy:

Quote Kathy:Swearing is a hard habit to break, and I'm glad I abstain for the most part. It kind of "hurts my ears" when I hear others rattle off, especially "GD", THAT I have a hard time with, is that a Southern thing? To not like to hear GD, that is, or is it just a NC or SE ID thing? I think it is a southern thing cause it bothers me when someone says that. To me it is like blasphemy, but that is just my opinion no need for a rebuttal. I use Mother Father for the MF word. I don't use it much but well in my mind it is more acceptable in public. Oh yeah Dammit to Hell is another crowd pleaser. Oh yeah and if you cut me off in traffic or are not driving like you are supposed to I call you a chickenmonkey! LOL

Thanks for the update. Kellie , prayers for a not so painful recovery. Yeah and what Kim said the screen name has got to go!!

Yay! That is great! Thanks for keeping us posted. I am glad everything went well. Thanks again!!

Well here is my two cents. I know that your husband is in pain. Even if he is going about things normally he still is their son that they raised and he has to be hurting. We cannot choose who our parents are so we just deal with them the best way we know how. No matter how whacko his mama is(she sounds kind of strange)she is still his mama. I feel honestly that she is jealous. You have taken control of your weight and health in an aggressive manner and you are winning this battle that she obviously has lost or just given up on. It is easier to have a fat DIL than to have a DIL that used to be fat. I hope that you all can work this out. The grandparents no matter what they FEEL should never talk to the grandkids about this EVER!! Just like they are your husbands parents, you are your children's mother. I feel that you should call a meeting and lay down the law. The weight issue is a MUTE subject and in the past. The family is what matters. This was you and your husbands decision. It was nice of you to tell them in the first place cause you didn't have to. The Bible says that when a man and woman get married they leave mother and father and they two become one. Enough said.

Happy Birthday! God Bless you!

Best Wishes Kellie! I am with Alex you gotta lose the screen name! LOL

Praying for a safe surgery and uneventful recovery! See ya in Bandland!

What an awesome adventure you are going to have. I bet it will be just wonderful. To experience new cultures and see how other countries live is something I would love to do. I want pictures!!! I know you will do a great job! God Bless you as you write a new chapter to your book of life!!

They are just beautiful! I am with Paula the one where Cristian is kissing Chalio is so touching! I love that! I know you are so proud.

HUgs and Prayers for you crystal. I pray that everything works out for your good. When I was diagnosed with Lupus I was somewhat relieved and upset. I pray you get a definite diagnosis and can proceed with treatment. You are a terrific person with a wealth of knowledge beyond comparison to anybody I know. I want you to take care of yourself, don't worry about the weightloss just about your well being. God Bless You. DeeDee

Paula, I was just checkin' in on you today. Hope you started the day with eggs or some other kind of protein. I started with chicken. I find that if I do this in the AM I am good the rest of the day. I am rootin' for ya Gurlfriend! :cheer2:
