my favorite part is probably when there's the mirror effect. who encouraged this guy to sing? thanks for sharing!

umm no. why?

I totally agree with you about the wait and see approach. But I don't know of any doctors that are "vultures" waiting to claim some organs. That is unethical and highly unlikely. Such actions would probably result in a withdrawl of a medical liscence. I can't even imagine the number of malpractice suits would come out of that.

If I was only being kept alive by a machine then I hope they would pull the plug. I understand that some people might disagree with that and that's ok. But I just don't think that being alive on a machine is living at all. It's not fare to family and friends to delay the inevitable.

I live in the Poconos area in PA. It kinda sucks a whole bunch here. My real home is in Sunset Beach, NC though.

I just don't see what the big deal is of taking someone's organs if they're dead. They won't need them. There are plenty of people that could use kidneys, livers, retinas, etc. When I go I hope they clean me out. It just seems silly to me to let stuff like that go to waste. As for organ selling, sure, why not? People sell plasma, sperm, and eggs, so why not kidneys. You only need one. If I needed the money I'd sell my kidney before I sold my eggs but I can't. And it's stupid.

but they AAAAAAAAALMOST beat the pats in the regular season

let's go g-men! i've waited all season (and pretty much my whole life) to see them get to the super bowl and win. they're gonna win and then i will do a dance of joy when tom brady cries.

this sounds like fun! i'm probably gonna be banded in july so this should help me lose my pre-op weight. good luck everyone. trish5713.....255.......230......255......25

You're very welcome! They've supposedly got a new album coming out soon and I'm tres tres excited

I did feel a little bad for Favre last night, not too much though. If it hadn't been the Giants playing last night I would've been pulling for him. But since the Gaints are amazing and all the feeling pasted quickly. It was so great to get phone calls from all my friends (mostly eagles fans...man i need some new friends) mumbling crongratulations. Anyone else almost throw up when Tynes had to come back out on the field that last time?

I have gotten about 4 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. Why? Cause the freaking Giants are in the Super Bowl!!!! I'm so excited. Everybody can go ahead and pick the Pats to win cause that's what everyone's been doing all year. Well it's rematch time and the Giants are gonna destroy them! Ok, I'll admit it won't be total destruction but I'm calling a win right now. Tom Brady will probably fall over from the weight of his giant head durring NE's first position anyway. I believe in Eli! Anyone else?

When I saw her I saidm "Great. Now the whole country is gonna think Allentown (the city/town I go to school in) is full of crazy people!" I mean she thought the song Allentown was by Bon Jovi! Cripes. Then the next day I found out she graduated from a high school in the same school district as the school I graduated in. I promise, we're not crazy here.:tongue:

Being in the postion of "big boobs" myself, I've given this whole thing some thought. I figure it's the whole "I don't have those and now I'm really curious" thing with guys. I've asked some guy friends about it and the boob men were basically clueless about the magnetism but some were breastfed and some weren't. Yeah, I was really thorough. I wanted to know what the big deal is! Am I on the right track here guys or not at all? And I just thought this quote from The Office would fit well here: Dwight Schrute: "The purse girl hits everything on my checklist: creamy skin, straight teeth, curly hair, amazing breasts. Not for me... for my children. The Schrutes produce very thirsty babies."

i thought i was the only one! as soon as i can, i'm buying a pair of killer knee high boots with the skinny heel. i've always always always wanted a pair and never could. next winter i'll be rockin the heck out of those things :biggrin:

thanks so sooo much canadagirl33! i was having a hard time picturing what makes up the protein i need. hopefully i'll be able to get it all in with food alone, only using the shakes when i need to. i'm so busy with classes right now that i usually don't get to snack or eat a complete lunch so that's probably where the shakes will come in. anywho, thanks for putting the menu thing up there, it helps alot

omg this is fun! ok, so some of these are songs i still listen to now or would put on a 90s mix cd and some are from then only. like ummm well i'll probably mark those in some way so you guys won't think i'm insane. anywho [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvAnQqVJ3XQ]YouTube - Peaches - The Presidents of the United States of America[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3tNylJr7Z4]YouTube - The Proclaimers 500 Miles[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWZ_3PE975c]YouTube - Hootie And The Blowfish - Only Wanna Be With You (Video)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96jFtzVa80A]YouTube - Ace of Base - The Sign[/ame] (yah this is one i deff wouldn't steal and burn onto a cd) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfJe8hQ8ha0]YouTube - OMC - How bizarre[/ame] (this was my favorite song the summer it came out. it's so weird) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gykBO2sDV-8]YouTube - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away[/ame] (didn't listen to them in the 90s cause i was young and stupid but from the 90s and AWSOME) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=givZsEAW80k]YouTube - Spin Doctors-Little Miss Can't Be Wrong[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiIC5qcXeNU]YouTube - Weezer - Buddy Holly[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waCH24gAJx4]YouTube - Jewel - Foolish Games[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrLJ6Saq7u4]YouTube - Sublime - Santeria[/ame] (another one from my later years) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJmX1z1NY2c]YouTube - Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity MV[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7-jiEbWUUc]YouTube - Ben Folds Five-Battle Of Who Could Care Less[/ame] (another post 90s love) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddT2QmVnJiQ]YouTube - The Cardigans - Lovefool US Version[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsjevQ7ZtCc]YouTube - Lou Bega - Mambo No.5[/ame] (everyone loved this song! it's terrible but oh well) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-n-jZJhpT4]YouTube - TLC - Waterfalls (1995)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqOwiZ8n5I]YouTube - The Wallflowers - One Headlight[/ame] and finally because for about 3 years i was "one of those girls":rolleyes: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ffi23gIGc]YouTube - Nsync-i want you back[/ame]

sounds like it should be covered. have you talked to your insurance people on the phone? i tried reading my plan and almost went crosseyed so i just called them. they were actually really helpful

wow thanks everyone! can't wait to go shopping for some powdered protein. right now i'm trying the carnation instant breakfast sugar-free stuff as a midmorning thing to help me keep my cals down and my protein up. only 90 cals plus the milk (makes it like 120 or something) so not too bad.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. i'll deffinately check them out! i got this one from my library and some of the recepies look ok but it killed me how there were instructions for each thing were "lap band, weeks 1-4: puree". yummm, nothin like a chicken milkshake:smellie:

has anyone read any good books about lap banding? i want to be like an expert on this stuff and love to read anyway (books are just better than reading a web page). i've seen a few on amazon and in stores but was just wondering if any are worth while. thanks

ok so i'm probably just freaking out about this, but i went for my first bariatrician appointment today and she said i need to start getting 60g of protein a day. it seems hard. is it hard? she said i should look into protein drinks. which brands are good? i've read alot of posts about unjury but it looks like it's only available on-line. are there any good ones in stores? i don't know, i have this thing about holding something and really seeing it before buying it. is syntrax nectar any good? thanks soo so much:biggrin:

raffles are always good. try asking local businesses to donate gift cards or items and ask if you can sell the raffle tickets at their store. you could also try a dog wash, like a car wash only with dogs instead. i've done that and it's fun. good luck!

i've never been a jessica simpson fan but i hope she's on the sidelines on sunday:p

you guys are so lucky! i've gotta wait till july to get banded because of the 6 month diet my insurance requires. i can't wait to get banded, i don't want to spend my 20s like i spent my teens, fat. are you guys excited, nervous, both (exervous?)?
