  1. To be fair, I said "fanatical DS'ers". I'm sure there are Ds'ers that are totally normal......they unfortunately get overshadowed a lot of the time.
  2. Paid "mouthpiece" or not, I still like Carnie. At least she's not one of those fanatical DS'ers....."I pooped 12 lbs and it looked like Mt Rushmore. Is this normal"
  3. *Lowers voice even lower....into Barry White range* Let's get it on...... Yeah I know that's a Marvin Gaye song. That's all I could come up with.
  4. Beth, you naughty, naughty girl!! Hey! I faithfully take my once-daily Valtrex!! (It's because I don't have time to take 4-5 pills a day. I have kayaking and hiking to do, just like those other herpes people on the commercial) Oh, PJTP: I can access chat now. I think the IT folks at work ok'd a java update.
  5. Damn, way to go, Bryan! That's incredible.
  6. Right....I agree 100%. She doesn't have to give a glowing recommendation, but to keep an open mind would be nice. For somebody that believes some really kooky (yeah, I used "kooky" as an adjective) new-age stuff, she has a surprisingly closed off mind towards WLS. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if Oprah thinks I'm doing it the "easy" way, or whatever.....We're in such radically different socioeconomic circles that she couldn't relate to me anyway.
  7. Great NSV, but as for the 3-way mirror.......amateurish. You need a 27-way mirror like me (it involves 3 3-way mirrors) Somebody thinkin' theys gonna take the multipost title? No way....... It's just because I'm the resident "abuse boy". I don't mind....I'm kinda into it....but perhaps I've said too much... Don't worry about those 'horns, they're a hearty lot. Much much tougher than say......a sooner. *lowers voice 2 octaves* How you doin" ??
  8. Nice.....reeeeeeeeeeeal nice....
  9. Yes. Yes it does. Welcome to the club.
  10. Sounds to me like you may be a little overfilled.....
  11. Hey confused, welcome to LBT! Don't worry about the fills. With any luck you have a doc that can hit the port easily. I've had 4 fills, and all but one I literally couldn't tell when he stuck the needle in. Good luck to you.
  12. Anybody that would "flame" a marine on LapbandTalk for political reasons is a big ol' douche....and will be treated as such. That's funny. If your doc was having trouble hitting the port you could get a bull's eye, LOL.
  13. I thought that making somebody slowly suffer was the best revenge?
  14. BJean, what makes you think there would be more control if it were legalized? The gangs and pimps that run prostution now would more than likely still run it if it were legalized or not.
  15. Sounds like scuba is overfilled to me. Maybe for dessert she has a finger to the back of the throat? LOL
  16. She hasn't had WLS, but she has "hated" on some folks who have. Knowing how she's struggled, you'd think if she couldn't muster some sympathy, then she could at least keep her big yap shut.
  17. I'm a sleep therapist and a respiratory therapist Happy hour!! Hells Yes!! You're already smaller than me! Uh, we ARE friends, right? On my beloved Bob and Tom radio show, they play a Tim Wilson song called "Chuck E. Cheese hell" that is fantastic! Oh, fancy fancy.... Hey it's no big deal Beth....we all know you were young and needed the money.... My little sister is fond of saying " (he / she / it) has no ass.....just a crack in the back" Yeah, it's just creepy to go there with no kids. Plus, security always looks at you funny. Trust me on this this. Whaaaaaaa?!? Confession......I rarely ever lock my doors. Of course, I do live in the middle of nowhere. W00t!!~ Hey! I've been internet-less people!! I suck at a lot of things......Latin, doing "the charleston", charming the ladies.....There is one thing I don't suck at, however; Thumbwrestling. I've been INTERNET-LESS!!!
  18. Ahhhh, so it's a meditation on patience.....I see. I myself prefer to shoot, but like you said.....ammo ain't exactly cheap these days. How old is the tattoo in your avatar pic? It looks to either be pretty fresh, or else very well cared for.
  19. Hey, I like the pics of the fish!
  20. Cranky, sick, and pregnant!! Yikes!!
  21. That would be a probable affirmative!! At least I know where the on / off button is. Well, maybe.
  22. I have read some romances that have been very educational....
  23. Looking like a work night for the plainster.....although no patients yet (I have a one-on-one scheduled for tonight.....he's supposed to weigh in around 560 lbs) so we'll see. I kind of hope he doesn't show so I can go home and see if I can find the problem with my home wireless modem so I can facebook!
  24. Ok NewLife, now you know.....probably not the end of the world for this one cheat. BUT, one cheat makes it easier to cheat the next time, and so on, and so on...... You still have to make good food choices for your band to work. It is difficult to do this at the first. You need to take it easy right now and let your stomach focus on healing up......and making those good choices will get harder before it gets easier. But it will get easier once you start getting your fills, so hang in there.
  25. Hi Jenny, Welcome to LapBandTalk! I am currently into bodyweight exercises (stuff like pushups, squats.....there are a lot of things you can do....look them up on your internet search engine of choice) because resistance exercises build your strength (more lean muscle = higher metabolism) and you can incorporate cardio in if you choose. Don't give up!!
