  1. I just bought some of the new Tropical Fruit 2O and man is it yummy!!!! I love it! For those that have trouble getting in your water this might be a good alternative!
  2. Sorry to hear that Kim, I hope you managed to get the issue resolved. Don't give up the fight.
  3. Happy Bandiversy girlie! I hope when I go back to Dr. B. at my year that he tells me I can stop losing weight! lol that is fantastic!
  4. Congratulations Jamie! You have done a tremendous job!
  5. Yes, the doctor said that a week of liquids and a week of mushies with the Reglan should put me back in shape. He said that is provided that I follow the bander rules of sitting at the table, taking small bites and chewing my food really well.
  6. That is me to a t...the only thing that truly helps me is not eating past 7p...I can usually get breakfast down by 8:30...provided i have had one cup of coffee prior. :-) Yes you are nuts Chick...but not about your band. :-) hugggs!
  7. Well here we are...my owner and I sitting here about to tell you stories of the not so famous...and for sure not rich. :-) Do any of you bands out there who have owners who refuse to listen to you...smart band that you are? I have one of those too. So now we have a slightly stetched pouch. We are going to have to be on liquids for 7 days, mushies for 7 more and a prescription for Reglan to try and get it back down to size. :-( The doctor said it was strange that we were continuing to lose weight and have a stretched pouch, but it was a matter of time before we manage to work ourselves right into a slip. We sat down to work through why this had happened. Turns out my owner ms i can-handle-not-following-the-rules thought that she could get away with going back to eating in front of the tv instead of at the table. Snacking way too much on popcorn and icecream. As well as other banded nonos. So fellow bands and the owners who love them, take a leaf from the pages of our book...follow the bandster rules or you might too end up where we are today. :-( Signed VG Lapband
  8. Happy Belated B'day!
  9. I didn't think my 3 year old son was ever going to get it and it was like overnight he had it. Pee was easy..poo was harder. We put him in pullups at night, but he takes naps in just his underware all the time. He is doing so well now. Now if we can just keep him from talking at the top of his voice when we are in a restaurant...mommy I gotta go poop...lol. My daughter was potty trained at 18 months...didn't prepare me for my son in anyway...lol.
  10. lol...that Lonnie..what a hoot! Sorry you had a pb though.
  11. Actually Veritical Horizon did Grey Sky Morning (The Best I Ever Had) in 1999. Bucky did an ok job, but I am so ready for him to go. I didn't even think Ms. Country Hotpants herself did Fancy all that good. Overall it was a pretty boring show. I did think Chris did a good job singing a song that was out of his element. He may be bald and old...but I would take him in a heartbeat. (teasing the bander who said that in an earlier post) :-) I did miss the first 3 performers...so I can 't say how they did.
  12. Jess, I am sorry that I didn't get to see this prior to your surgery, but I do hope all went well and I know you are going to be a knockout once you are healed! :-)
  13. Shanna, I am sorry this has happened and I hope you feel better soon. :-(
  14. Sorry to hear about your cat. my condolences.
  15. It hasn't been pulled here..thank the lord...can't we just have one thing that is good and is good for us besides broccoli...i mean i love broccoli, but it just doesn't mix up in my tea and coffee very well. :-)
  16. Does he just eat 800 calories a day?? I have never heard any doctor say that. A normal adult human being could not live on that day in or day out and lose weight...heck your body is just fighting to survive.
  17. Congrats to you dad!!! Happy Bandday for him!
  18. Shanna, I hope everything works out with the slip. I am really sorry to hear that. *huggs*
