  1. Think the board is jacked up? This is what my PM thingy says: Welcome, DrewsLou. You last visited: Today at 08:02 AM Private Messages: Unread 65535, Total 209. Weird! The board has been super slow for me all day. What the Phuck?
  2. 3Loves.... I am now officially stalking you. My first time though so I might not be very good at it but I'll try!
  3. Duckie... I always weight first thing in the morning after I pee.... naked before my shower and that's the only weight that I count. I have a little ritual that I do even.... my hubby laughs at me about it all the time. Every little ounce counts though!
  4. Happy bday Diva and congrats on the NSV! You rawk! :rockon:
  5. Good luck Trish! Sending you good thoughts! :mad:
  6. Hi all.... Went for my fill today. Doc couldn't aspirate anything from my band again. Looks like I might have a leaky port as the saline goes in and is immediatley gone. I'm hoping maybe he is just missing my port... (a girl can dream, right?) We are working on getting me in for a fill under flouro to see what we are dealing with. A new port (low profile) is 600 bucks and the total cost to have a new port put in will be around 2k. I'm strangely calm about this though and not freaking out. Looking forward to the flouro to see what exactly the deal is. Mvpo... sound slike you have had a rough one. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Peace.
  7. Wavy.....I LOVE EAS Carb Control shakes!
  8. Wha?? We are supposed to talk about the Lap-band?? I'm game. Having some issues here myself. Found out today I may have a leaky port. Dammit! I have been very interested in all the threads about TT and always check it out on Discovery Health. I'm afraid I might be headed for one and the thought scares me! I'm a chicken and those are some big scars!
  9. I am pretty sick of hearing about cheese myself.... and I love cheese! I too hope it stops.
  10. I don't know of any specific websites. If you search "protein drinks" or "protein shakes" on this site you will get tons of ideas. As far as Vitamins, I just take a childrens gummy multi-vit I got at costco. Good luck!

    Happy travels my friend!
  12. Welcome gonnabethin and stacey! I'm sorry you had to walk into us at a time like this, this really is a great place for support and friends. Stay awhile!
  13. I feel the need to comment on the "What is a PB" post. Making fun of newbies is getting really old and it always seems to be the same people doing it. We were all new here once and asked the same questions. It's getting to the point that I feel uncomfortable here and I've been here for awhile, imagine what it feels like for someone who is coming here for the first few times with genuine questions. Let's all stop and think a little bit before we post. I know it's hard not to get caught up sometimes when everyone is being silly but there are sooo many other things to pick to be silly about rather than alienating someone. Please, I'm asking nicely and respectfully.... stop. Peace.
  14. Let it go. Lisa is a big girl and has proved time and time again she can stand up for herself. Continuing this as an attempt to stand up for her doesn't do anyone any good. Just let it go. What will be will be. Peace.
  15. I don't get the whole clakclak thing either. Inside joke?
  16. Oh my! My foot hurt like a biotch... I can't imagine one by my "hoo-hoo"!!!
  17. Just got a new tat a week ago!
  18. Happy Tuesday! Whew! It's been an interesting few weeks around LBT! Our little thread here is just like home though! I am going for my third fill this afternoon. I'm hoping there is still some saline from the last fill in my band.... I don't want to deal with a leak! Keep your fingers crossed for me! Good news though.... I lost what I gained back last week so I currently weigh the same as 2 weeks ago (follow that?) Sounds like you are all doing great. Congrats on the fill and the loss 3Loves!! Peace.
  19. Makes perfect sense to me Wheets!
  20. Why would you report your own post as bad? Am I missing something?
  21. All I can say is HOLY CRAP!
