I am alive and well! Just really busy with the kids, school and work. :sneaky:) I did want to post about a new suppliment I found at Costco. I cannot take fish oil pills because they are do large - I found MegaRed - krill oil tablets that are supposed to be 3 times better than the fish oil. The best part is that the tablets are small!! I thought I would mention them in case anyone on here had to stop taking fish oil like I did. :sad: Fanny Adams!! That is great!! Woohoo!!

Hi Everyone! It's Friday - I took the day off and just sat around all day watching Judge Judy, Project Runway and Ruby in my Jammies. I hope everyone is doing well! I know I do not get on here as much as I used to - that darn Facebook! :sneaky: I am going to try and do better!

I am glad he is doing well!!

I have a lap band right now and am doing pretty well. I am looking into the sleeve in case my band stops working! I am interested in learning all I can about the sleeve from all of you!.

Ooohhhhh! I really want to win! I don't have an ipod!! *Crossing Fingers*

So glad you are feeling better! Congrats on the weight loss and make sure to post when you make it to Onderland!!

I just posted a pic in my in progress album with a face shot of me July 7, 2007 and one from last week. WOW!! I do not recognize myself! Also - I have guys flirting with me now and to tell you the truth - I LOVE IT!!! :thumbup:

You gotta lose what you feel comfortable with - I still have to lose about 44 pounds. My husband also thinks that will be to much but it is still my goal. I just want to be a skinny bitch! hahahaha

Awww, thank you! That is nice to hear that my journey may help someone else! In the beginning where you are please do not focus on losing right away - focus on letting your surgery sites heal. This is your main function during the first 6 weeks or so. You will lose the weight - just make the best food choices and the most important part is get moving. This has been the key for me! Hang in there and hope to see less of you this time next year! :rolleyes2:

I TOTALLY agree! I LOVE this office and all the people who work there. They make getting stuck with a needle fun!! I feel like I am going to see members of my family when I arrive! I just could not be more pleased! THIS is the place to get your life back through weight loss!

Tramps and Lushes...life is good

Beth will never grow up! She posts like this on every thread! Good grief! I imagine in person she is a really juvenile! Unfortunately, There are plenty of child predators in this world. I don't like any of them either so I am not just picking on MJ.

PJTP: I am such a tramp!

Glouc, Lulu, Beth.. I agree with you. IMO, MJ is a child predator. Where there is smoke there is fire. I loved his music but he ruined that for me all he morphed into his "Bat-Sh$t crazy child predator" phase.

Congrats NurseMelly!! Awesome news!

PJTP: My mother is having angioplasty tomorrow for a seriously clogged abdominal aorta as well as the femoral artery in one of her legs. If they cannot get it cleared that way they will have to do abdominal surgery. My mom says she is going to die as she had a dream that her mother told her that she can come and sleep with her. I had a panic attack thinking about losing my mom. I wish I had the money to go to Texas to be with her. This seriously sucks.

BethinVA and EbonyRose - I am sending out good vibes, prayers and thoughts for your job interviews today!!! You both are terrific and anyone would be incredibly foolish for not snapping you up in a New York minute!!!

Yay Gigi!! Doesnt it feel so good??!!?? I cannot beleive how I moved around with that extra 100 pounds!! I see you are from Brooklyn! One of my goals is to go the NYC! I was there once for a show at the Radio City Music Hall. THe show was great but I would love to spend more time getting to know the city. Hey Tammy! Good luck with your surgery! You will be skinny before you know it! :smile2: Just exercise! Find something you love to do that gets your body movin!!!

Hi Willowcat! I see you are in Colorado Springs!! That is where I lived for 18 years! I miss the Springs sooo much!! Congrats on your recent surgery! Time will fly and soon you will be where I am! My size 12's are a little baggy this morning! Yay! I cannot believe I am in a size 12 and now it looks like I can move to a size 10 soon! I still have quite a bit to lose but I am getting there. Keep as active as you can - do things you love! I am dancing and riding horses as much as humanly possible! hahaha If you are on Facebook send me a request! I do not make my band public but I do post about my crazy silly life!

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!!

Yay Beth!! I am also happy you got rid of your printed tees! :thumbup: I have bags and bags of clothes to sell on eBay too! I am so sorry for your friend! Take care of yourself, it is difficult being a caregiver. I have taken care of two cancer patients. My girlfriend had ovarian cancer and my sister with breast cancer. My band is also very tight and I suspect it is due to stress. I am not going to get an unfill since I can still get water/liquids down easily. I talked to my dr. and I am going to wait it out. Good Luck with the job interview!! A brazillian - you are very brave!!! No Way!! :clap:

That is awesome Susan!! I am sorry about your marital problems. I have been there and know the difficulties! {{{hugs}}} I am doing well with my band but am so happy to read about the sleeve in case I need it! I will not gain the weight back!!

Went to see my surgeon today. Things are going well. I haven't had a fill since March. Lost 9 pounds last month! I am down 102 from my highest! I cannot believe that I have lost that much! I have a lot more energy. I can really notice the increase in that department. I am wearing a size 12 pants! I hope to be in a size 10 next month! I have increased my exercising. I have started taking horse back riding lessons again. I need to work on my strength but so far it is a dream! I love riding horses again! I have also bought a bosu ball and some inline skates. I am on the move!!!

I want your job!!! PJTP: Went to see the dr today. Down 9 pounds since last month. No fill again - been steady at this fill since March. Down 83 pounds since surgery - 102 pounds from my highest. I can hardly remember being so big - which is a good thing! I hope you all are doing well! Ebony - Good Luck on the jobs! I hope you get the one you want. Beth - I hope you hear something sooooon!!!
