Tricia K.

Welcome to the GFG Club, Cindy!

Congrats, Kathy!

What ever happened to this woman?

Thanks, Char!

Alright, to make up for my slacking earlier today, I rode my recumant bike for 5 miles, which is the most I've ever ridden. BBL, after I take a shower...I'm sweating buckets!!

Charlif, I wasn't being rude but I also hate it when someone clarifies a part of the body and/or the face instead of just saying that someone is beautiful. I apologize if it came across as anything else. And, thanks to both you and Funny for the sweet comments. Hotter? Nope...but, I do appreciate the thought. :hug:

I'm sorry you're going through this. My vote would be to go for a fill. Many people with proper restriction have what you have - first bite syndrome, tight in the mornings, etc. I don't have first bite syndrome, but I am tighter in the mornings. I find if I'm eating a lot (more than 1/2 c. of food) or I'm hungry 2-3 hours after eating, I need a fill. Keep in mind that I'm 10 months out and have 2.9cc in a 4cc band. Every person is different but those are my guidelines. Keep us posted.

I buy the ACT II regular and buttery kettle corn and they both have the same nutritional info. Calories per 1 cup popped: 35 Calories from fat: 20 Carbs: 16g Protein: 2g One bag has 2.5 servings, and each serving is approx. 4.5 cups popped corn. So, each bag has approximately 393.75 calories. I always include them into my daily caloric intake.

LOL...yeah, I knew they had a lite version of it but I like the full-fat, etc. version better. Isn't that horrible? Hence, my reason for limiting myself. Oh no @ picking up the wrong kind!! Oops.

That's Gollum/Smeagol from Lord of the Rings http://www.lordoftherings.net/legend/characters/

Good girl. You have to start somewhere.

Thank you, ma'am. May I have another? :biggrin1: Seriously though, if it weren't for the rain storm we've been having the last 4-5 hours, I'd be outside jogging. I'll ride my recumbant bike later. I promise.

Welcome to the new people in this thread! I didn't do any exercise today. Ugh...Telly, come kick my ass!

Aww...you'll be fine. I suggest that you ask your hubby to watch the kids for a few hours tomorrow and just spend some alone time. Read a book, watch some TV, get a massage or a facial, whatever. You just need to relax. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. :hug: Triciaa

Umm...Susan, my dear...those are duplicate posts. Hand me the wine, ok? Or will I hear "My precious! They stoles it from me!" ??

*grabs P'Nut by the shoulders and slaps her (gently) across the face* Better? Now, don't you dare pick up a piece of garlic toast and put it near your mouth. Don't even make a piece. Get it? Got it? GOOD!!

leener, I'm so sorry about the issue with your fill. I certainly hope you're able to resolve it very soon and/or find a place for a fill. Andy's quote below sums up what I would have said.

Hi Leona06, I'm not an opera singer but am a singer. I too felt that my breath control immediately after surgery was horrrible. I am always singing but didn't really notice the improved breath control until about 2-3 months out. Because every experience is individual, I don't know when yours will improve but I suggest that you just practice, practice and PRACTICE! Best of luck, Tricia

Yeppers, I am in the area. But Telly, you have the wrong Jennifer. It's jennifer83 who also lives in the area. BTW, she had her surgery yesterday and it went very well. I spoke to her yesterday evening and she was so happy with everything.

Congratulations!!

I love this stuff but limit myself to 1 bag every 3-4 days. Besides Telly (the hottie), does anyone else love it as much as I do?

Yes, I believe you have to purchase them in the stores. I don't have a recipe for them but I'd be happy to ship some to you, if you would like. Feel free to send me your mailing address via private message. @ Eileen

My first and second PB happened before my 1st fill. #1 - a bite of a cinnamon roll #2 - a bite of an open-faced turkey sandwich Mind you, the two happened within a matter of a few days. I learned my lesson about white breads very quickly. I haven't touched it since.

It looks like you had a lot of fun. Whenever I see a tat magazine in the bookstore, I always pick it up to check out the tats. I have 2 and probably won't get anymore but I am fascinated by them. I watch Miami Ink and Inked regularly.
