THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! :rockon:

Got another one..... I hate it when I am in the middle of a really good IM with my mother-in-law and she switches to her other screen name and I have to cut and paste what I was saying!!!!!! :angry I hate it when my DH ex-wife bitch calls and pisses me off and I think of the good comebacks when we hang up!!!! :phanvan The poopy in the tub was funny!!!! :grouphug:

I hate it when my DH says I'll do it in a minute and never does... I hate it when I walk into a room and forget why... I hate it when I wake up in the morning to candles burning when my DH says that he blew them out!!! I hate it when I reach for that cute shirt and it is wrinkled!!! I hate it when I am told about a school function the day of! I hate it when my DH says we are going to one bar and then changes his mind and we go somewhere I don't like!! I hate it when people are jealous, childish and just plain stupid. I have a lot more but I have to get back to work!!!! :heh:

Well, I just found this thread today and all I can say is...WHOA! :confused: And I thought about maybe giving some advice but I think you may have gotten enough by now. I can see where some things might have been misunderstood or taken totally the wrong way. I can see both sides of the argument but it still all boils down to talking to your doctor and listening to him/her. I asked questions on this board and got great advice from everyone and sometimes I used it...sometimes not. I have given advice to some people but I also usually tell them to check with their doctor. Right now I am eating mushies and I have been banded since September but I eat mushies because I choose to eat them because PB'ing is just not my cup of tea! And...yes...I do chew my food well. So I have become a "soup" person and love it! I also see it a little healthier too eating Soups...veggie, tomato, seafood, etc. My doctor told me to take care of my band and I am. To follow his directions and I did. Did I heal correctly, yes. Have I had any problems...only PB's YUCK! :faint: Do I trust him? Totally! I don't know, I am tired...so maybe I am rattling on a little. I am on my 5th or 6th cup of coffee today and I drank a Coca Cola Blak (yum) and I am still tired....go figure!!!! It is a beautiful day here in Santa Fe, TX and I am in my office....grrrrrr. :angry

This is Bachman (Pug) and Lil Tattoo (cat) This is Trinity I have one more cat...Pepper. I need to get a pic of her to put on here.

Where I live in south Texas we average about $2.89 for regular. Sucks....oh well. Did anyone hear that cigarettes are going up a dollar in September? I think it might be just in Texas. Ours average around $3.20 a pack here. I will definitely quit if they do!

I usually feel like I swallowed a golfball and I have to get up and stretch or move around. But sometimes I just look at how much I have had and just stop.

Well, I was diagnosed with Rosacea a few years ago and also adult cystic acne and I was devasted by the cystic acne. It hurt so bad and I had them injected with steriods to help them go away and I paid $500 a visit for a light treatment on face and nothing seemed to work. I did all of the prescriptions that they gave me....pills, creams, gels, masks...you name it I did it! Then a friend of mine told me that her mother told her to buy the plain Jane Safeguard soap and poof! Clear skin. I started to use it and I actually have cleared up alot and plus I stopped drinking the cokes and sweet stuff and more water and that has helped too. Maybe you could give that a try. I think the reason it has helped is because it is an anti-bacterial soap...who knows!

I actually just bought a new car on Friday and I love it!!! I bought a Scion xB Limited Edition and it is so cute!!! I will have to take a picture of it and get it on this thread! You can also go to www.scion.com and click on the limited series and see it. It is the prettiest green and it drives great! :clap2:

It's possible that you can stop losing weight if you do not get enough calories. When I went to Jenny Craig awhile back they told me that if you don't have enough calories to burn then your body tends to hold on to them, resulting in no weightloss. Not sure of a web site that can tell you about it but your surgeon might have a dietitian that you can also ask. Hope this helps.

No more steak, anything breaded, chicken, pasta, tuna :grouphug: I can eat salads, beans, soups, grits, oatmeal, ice cream, yogurt etc... I still have hamburgers but without bread and the fries. I have turned into a soup girl! If I go out to dinner with my family or friends, I tell them that the restaurant has to have soup or it's a NO! My mother never really realized what I can and can't get down until Easter Sunday and I wasn't eating the ribs, chicken or sausage...only the grilled veggies and beans were on my plate. C'est la Vie :phanvan .

Darkwing------The women at Dr. Spivak's office are so helpful...Do not hesitate to call them again...They understand...It took a few days after they recieved my results before I got a date for my surgery...Once I got it in my head that I was actually going to go through with the surgery I got a little anxious too...It's natural...At least you don't have to deal with the insurance company.

Chris was awesome! Katharine and Elliot were both very good. Taylor and Paris were good and I think Miss Pickler might be leaving. It was just not a good performance at all.

OK....I am wearing white, cotton, hi-cut panties (sz 8) and a white lacy, strapless bra sz 40B. The one thing that I wish that would have grown along with my stomach were boobs!!! After gaining weight with 2 children and just gaining weight because of overeating they never grew!!! What the hell is up with that??? Anyways....I see a new pair in my future!!! :dance: Because what boobs I DO have... are shrinking....:faint: Gimme a break!

I am currently taking Prozac. Actually, my ob/gyn put me on it for my PMS and boy does it help with that! My husband loves that I am taking it...not so much of a bitch! :party: I have felt fine on it and have been on it for a couple of years now. Best of luck to you!

Sausage, egg and cheese breakfast burrito from Sonic. I miss them so much but my waist doesn't!! :clap2:

I will drink a little bit of water only if the food seems a little dry, just to wet it a bit. When it comes to breakfast, if I haven't had my morning coffee by the time I eat I will drink it with breakfast. Doesn't seem to have any effect or hurt. I guess you have to just see how you will react to it. I know it's hard for some to stop it totally. But if you can get away with none, that is key. And as far as prior to eating, I drink up until I eat, no problem.

Hey there! Don't fret! It does take a little time but it is worth it. I was banded in 09-06 and I just got into a 14 about a month ago and I too was in a 22-24. Just stick to watching what you eat and exercise and you will be there before you know it!

:rip: Let's all have a moment of silence for Ace is gone..........:faint: Thank you America!!!! :rockon: :high5: :dance: :spider: For those of you that are Ace fans, I apologize but he started to become a little nauseating to me. If I had to see him run his fingers through his hair or do his little boyish smile again I would have screamed!!!! He is talented but he started to be a little annoying. Yeah, yeah....he is good looking but not as talented as a few others (Chris, Katharine) . And I have a feeling that next week is going to be great!!! Can't wait!

That sounds like a perfect description to me! I hate that feeling of a golf ball in your chest! That is the worst pain! You feel helpless, anxious to get rid of it, nervous that you will hurt your band...all kinds of feelings come around when that pain hits me. But I just relax and breathe. Some people tell me to drink something and I am like.... OH NO! That is the worst! I just grin and bear it and let it ease on out! And remember what it was that I did that caused it and try not to do it again!

Bucky - Ok Ace - OH NO! Kelly - mmmm, alright Chris - rocked but like Randy said...could have had his moment tonight Katharine - good job Elliott - Great Taylor - Had fun but could have been better Paris - too much for her I think the bottom three might be Ace, Paris and Bucky. We'll see.

Hey there Ms. Vicki! I used Dr. Spivak and they always tell me to go on liquids for about 48 hours after a fill and to give the restriction a couple of days to appear. Right now I have 1.7cc but I was up to 2.0cc and I couldn't even get scrambled eggs down! That little bit helped alot. The only thing that I can't get down now is beef, chicken maybe. I have turned into a soupaholic! And definitely NO bread for me...absolutely not!!! That hurts! Good Luck!

Thanks...it is an anniversary edition 2003 Ultra Classic...it belonged to his dad...he passed away in 11-2004...he also has a black 2003 Road King. That picture was taken at our clubhouse in Alvin, Texas which is southwest of downtown Houston. Isn't the grass great!!! I could not believe that! It came out so good. The pictures were only $5 each and they were full 8 x 10's too. What a deal!

Thanks girl.....I think EVERYONE should take a picture on a motorcycle at least once in their life! They are the coolest and most badass pictures!

Hey Delarla! Here those pictures. These were taken on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day for riding...little windy but gorgeous!
