  1. Oh no!! That is the pits! I hope you can get someone out soon!! I have terrible PMS symptoms! I can be a real humidified beeeoch!! lol I love it!!! We need to have t-shirts made!:tongue_smilie:
  2. Please share the recipe for your Protein shake - I want some liquid cheesecake deliciousness!!
  3. I cry at the drop of a hat too! It can be so embarrassing! I just thought I was well.....going a little wacky!
  4. Thanks! I have come a long way! Now I need to get my butt in gear and get moving! Well Chelsbels will be here on the couch! She has already had visitors! She is doing so well! Who knows how it she will be tomorrow! They should meet! :tongue_smilie:
  5. I agree although there must be people who do it. It is offered at the spa I go. They offer two or three different forms with the brazillian being the complete deal. I havent heard any screams of pain while getting my nails done so they must offer lots of wine or something!
  6. maybe you could score some lidocaine and drink a few glasses of wine first! :tongue_smilie:
  7. I think we can talk about it. Have you tried waxing instead of shaving? I have heard it is much better for sensitive skin. I was starving too - I just had some salsa and three chips. I am all better now! :tongue_smilie:
  8. PJTP: I am watching tv and saw an ad for the Miche bag! Now I want one and remarkable I can get one for two easy payments!! But wait there is more........
  9. Perhaps there will be some crow eating after being banded for a longer period of time. :tongue_smilie:
  10. PJTP: There is a new show advertised called "Mama's Boy". Why on earth would a group of georgous woman compete for the heart of a "Mama's boy"??? The guys mother is obnoxious! I would be running in the other direction from the guy!!
  11. PJTP: I am playing Mobsters way to much on MySpace! I am actually sitting here trying to figure out what heists to pull off to steal the maximum amounts so I can buy weapons! lol All this and married to a cop! shame on me!!
  12. Awww thank you for asking. She is doing better and better. She is sitting here with me asking me what exercises she can do to help with her pain. lol I have her walking around the room. She says she has a whole new appriciation for me which is nice to hear from you kid! Thank you so much for asking!
  13. No problem. There is a lot to learn! When were you banded? There are groups you can join on here with others who are banded in your same month/year. Those threads are great ways to learn more about the band! :hurray: No I am actually quite evil! baawwwaahahahahahahaha
  14. If it gets stuck you will feel it pretty quickly! If you do not feel pain and can drink water without trouble you are probably ok.
  15. I am with you but will start on Monday. I have not gone wild but need to get back on track. I really want to be in Onderland and keep bouncing between 210 and 204.
  16. I am so happy that nothing is broken! Hopefully the good drugs give you some quick relief!
  17. Great! We will make the pouch test "cool"!
  18. Monday sounds great! I am in!
  19. I am going to do the pouch test as well. Maybe those of us who want to do it can do it together.:thumbup:
  20. Thank you! I need to paint the inside of my house. I am not looking forward to it!! I need to find some friends who LOVE to paint! lol Awww, that is nice Beth. Thank you! Yes it is all 'easy' from now on. bwwwaaaahahahahahha I feel the same way. I have to crawl back onto the wagon! My band feels really tight so it should be easier to do. I got rid of the candy and nuts when my brother was here. I loaded his bag with all my bad Christmas goodies.
  21. Update 2: Last night was one of little sleep. My daughter was up every hour to use the restroom. We have walked the hallway 8 times since 5pm yesterday. She is doing so much better than I did. It is the joy of being 18 years old! We should be heading home after lunch today which will be good for the general public since I forgot my toothbrush in the rush to get here! lol The staff at the hospital has been very good with one exception. My daughters first nurse did not have much empathy for the gas pains in her shoulders. She told her not to cry since it was "only gas pain". I asked the nurse how she did with her own laproscopic surgery gas pain and of course she said she has never had surgery. lol What a beeeeoccchhhh!! Other than that it has been great. She just took her first pain meds by mouth and she tolerated it great.
  22. Update - she is doing well although her pain is pretty bad right now. I am the best nurse ever! I have taken her walking the halls 6 times since she came into her room 5 pm. The pain in her shoulders and diaphram area is getting to her. The nurse just came in and gave her some pain meds. Hopefully she will fall asleep soon! I told her to remember all of this for the first time someone tells her again how she took the easy way out with surgery! Thanks everyone for all of the good thoughts and wishes! You all ROCK!!
  23. PJTP: Long story short - my daughter had her surgery today!! She is a new bandster!! I am sitting in her hospital room right now. She is having a lot of shoulder pain but is really being a trooper. I will be spending the night as she does not want me to leave her alone. Even though she is 18 she is still my baby! lol
  24. Well Great News! The surgeon called this morning and long story short - My daughter had her surgery this afternoon!! Happy Happy Joy Joy!! I am at the hospital with her right now. She is having a lot of shoulder pain but this will pass. She does post on here. Her name is Chelsbels :smile:
