Low Rise Jeans and Thong Panties
I wear thongs daily. BUT, I never intentionally have them poking outta my jeans. I never liked thongs and G-strings, but DH asked me to wear them, and now I can't go without. I hate panty lines :eek:

Slumber Parties is on TV tonight :)
I consider myself very religious and I LOVE any and all kind of sex and toys between me and my husband. It keeps our relationship alive and we are best friends! I can't imagine being any closer to him. BUT, I do know a lot of people who don't believe in any of the fun stuff!!! BOY, are they missing out!!!!

Banded Friday
Angie, I lost about 20 pounds before my fill and that is just a plus. Most people seem to, but not everyone will. I am 3 months out and just started getting off of my last butt to exercise one month ago. I didn't feel well enough to do it until after 4 weeks when I should have started walking but I didn't. I think that is the best exercising to start out with, walking. Dr. Spivak wanted us to walk at least 30 minutes a day.

Banded Friday
You should expect to start losing weight after your first fill, anything before that is just a bonus. I was sore for almost 4 weeks. I am a baby when it comes to pain.

Music - Whats your flavor?
Country, country and MORE country. I really love Texas music and yes, there is a difference in Texas Music and country. LOVE Kevin Fowler!!! Old and new, everything about it I love. Sometime listen to Seether, NickelBack and others like that because that is what hubby loves.

This Is A Wake Up Call!
OK, time for me to put my 2 cents in... I agree that everyone needs to quit taking things so personally when the lovely lady that started this thread started out by saying that it wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I myself have stopped reading the daily posts of people that aren't losing weight and what they are eating. Gimme a break, some of the stuff these people are eating just completely shocks me. And then they bitch about not losing weight??? I am 3 months out and FINALLY started working out like a demon. I am eating what I think is healthy (low carb) and it is working great for me. I too, have a hard time understanding why we push the band, but I know it is because of our disease. I did try and eat pizza one time, I was going to eat one piece, THANK GOD, it came right back up and I will NEVER touch the stuff again. I have not had a hamburger in 3 months!!! I have never even tried. I completely agree with BigPaul in that we aren't just dieting to get to a goal weight and then we can have everything. All the weight will come back then. This is a lifestyle change and we must eat correctly to be healthy. If you don't like what I have to say, good for you!!! :eek:
