gone 4 ever

Happy Bandaverary to you, Happy bandaversary to you. You get the drift! You have done a great job. Keep up the good work.

Good morning everyone. Sure is quiet in here this morning. Ebony...have you heard anything about the job? I pray you and your hubby have a safe and fun vacation. Stop in and say hi every couple of days. Glad to see you stopping by She:smile2: We have missed you. it sounds like you have a very full plate. With all the traveling you are doing. Can I hide in one of your suitcases and go with you?:) I pray you all have a blessed day and a very Happy 4th. Stay safe.

O.K Tap I need you to come landscape my yard for me please:rolleyes:. I love to decorate cakes but haven't done it for a couple of yrs. Used to love to read but need new glasses. I love to do different types of arts and crafts, but once again haven't for a few yrs. When I was managing quick stops I worked all the time and stopped doing what I loved. I haven't gotten back into doing them again. I don't like to knit or crochet or sew. Jachut...I need you to come decorate my home for me. I have tried but it is a train wreck!lol I like painting the crafts I make if it needs painting. I want to start to scrapbook. I have all the pictures from my parents after they passed away. I want to use those and make a scrapbook for my sister and brother and all the grandkids. I literally have boxes upon boxes from them. Not counting all the slides and old 48 reel to reel films.

You really need to eat a breakfast and lunch. It sounds like your not getting enough calories. If you don't get enough calories your body thinks it is starving and everything you put in your mouth it changes to fat and stores it. For me personally to lose I have to eat between 1200-1500 a day. Some days I have to force my self to get in the 1200 and other days I might go over a little bit. But that is a part of banding and the choices we make. You also probably need another fill. Good luck and keep us posted.

Wow Patty Do you not get it. At the very least it is indecent exposure, add to that a minor and it is solicitation! he tried it before your son, with both of your sons, and God knows how many more since then! I think child molesters should be castrated! My sister and I was molested by my oldest brother. He did go to reform school for molesting my sister. He tried to molest my other brother but he beat the holy crap out of him. When he molested me I was 7. He tied me to the bed, he started to mess with me. Some one came home and he untied me and threatened me. when I told my mother she said it was my fault. She didn't want him going back to jail is what it boiled down to or so I thought. But he had threatened to beat her up which he had done before. I blocked it from my mind for yrs. I was 16 and dating a guy who said he new how to hypnotize people. I didn't believe him. We turned on a tape recorder for proof or disproof. Anyway while I was hypnotized it all came out. It took many years to forgive him.I didn't forgive him until I became a christian. I didn't trust him with my children. I know he molested my niece. He got saved about a week before he died and called my sister and me to say he was sorry for all that he done to us. Then he called my brother and daddy. Once a molester always a molester. You should have reported him. As a christian you are supposed to help other people. Well I think you helped your nephew molest other kids instead of saving other kids from your nephew. I would check into what I could do at this time. It may have been 6 yrs. ago, but I would still see if anything can be done.

I liked the bottled chocolate flavor, didn't like the add to water ones and they didn't like me!

Fanny, you will definatly be missed. Maybe you can figure out a way to come?

Heart... sorry about the crap your hubby and fellow co-workers have to go through with pay cuts and stuff. But yes he does have a job. Ebony...Sing it girl! Slim... We are family! I can't remember who posted this but they are right, Friends you choose, family you don't Good morning all

WOOHOO road trip! Yes Yes Yes! Can you tell I am excited? Meet my friends!:biggrin: See new places I haven't been to yet! I have something to look forward to for next year.:redface:

Does sound like a very aggressive fill. But I have a question. Were you very nervous before your fill? I was and after I had left I started hurting very badly. It had to do with nerves since I really didn't know what to expect. Make sure you do only liquids today. If your not better tomorrow call the dr. then and see about a slight unfill. Keep us posted.

Hey maybe we should invite PG to our get together!:redface: Kidding!!!I just thought of that because there is 1 other person that when I read her post on other threads she comes across as she is the only correct person. "Well I was told never", "I was told only" ect..... "You should never do that because I was told". It aggravates me because we all have been told different things. We voice our opinions. I think it is the way she types it. I don't think she means to be that way. maybe it's just me. I don't know.

This was just to funny! Maybe you should be a stand up comic. I agree with Ebony. A get together of PJTP people. I want to meat ya'll so bad. To me ya'll are like family, just a lot less headaches.:redface: i think via FB i was volunteered by SNT/Boo Boo Kity - which i'm totally fine with. She Smiles is coming & doing a US trip next june. that gives everyone enough time to get to goal, buy some fabulous swim suits and plan on coming to TX. oh & taps.......plane takes you up 13,000ft, not 3,000ft :wink5: That would be awesome Lulu. It seems like there are a lot of PJTP people in Texas. If your serious then maybe we should start to plan it. I should be straightened out by next yr.

Drink protein shakes between meals or get laughing cow cheese and special K crackers. 35 cal. for the cheese and 90 for 17 crackers. There are all sorts of things, but these are 2 of my favorites. With the cheese and crackers it is a total of 125 cal. and very filling. Good luck

LOL I like this one!

Beth Thank you for your kind words. Good luck with the job interview! Lots of thoughts and prayers are going up for you to get it! I like the idea Kat said about the vinegar. I forgot I used to pour it over my garbage bags to keep strays out of them yrs. ago. Do it. Explain to your sister that what you are doing. Just do it when the kid and daddy isn't looking! or spray them. LOL:rolleyes2: I pray your trip is safe and fun. Maybe it will work out for the best.

Your not on a liquid diet 3 days after surgery? You don't have a 2 week liquid, 2 week mushie, 2 week soft then regular food? Anyway, a lot of times you gain to begin with. You have gas in your body and the surgery and all. Sometimes you don't lose until you have some kind of restriction. You are in what is called bandster hell. Don't expect to hit the sweet spot with the first fill. sometimes it will take 5 or more fills to hit the sweet spot. I have had 7. I am at my sweet spot now. That doesn't mean you won't lose but you will have to think about what you are doing more than when you hit the sweet spot. Good luck with your journey and keep posting and reading

I hear you Glou. I used to climb trees, jump out of haylofts. Climb down the TV attena to sneek out:wink2:. I used to want to skydive, Maybe we can do it together in the future! We'll just hold hands and let someone push us out of the plane. Any takers? LOL I have thought about adopting a greyhound. But I have cats. Right now I can't afford it anyway. All my dogs have been given to me so they wouldn't go to the pound. I don't have any dogs anymore. I miss them. But I have to have one that is kid and cat freindly. I still have to fence in my back yard before I get another dog.

Mrs. Mink ask your Dr about giving you one. he should have it. it just explains that you had WLS and you can only eat small amounts. So please let the person order from the child"s menu. I haven't used mine yet. The few times I have eaten out the kid's menu have junk foods that I don't want. I thought about trying it at a buffet. I miss buffets. Get a kids plate and pay kids price. Some days all I want is a big variety of veggies. I don't want to cook a bunch of veggies and waste them if I don't get them eaten soon enough. Sometimes I freeze them for veggie soup. But still it would be nice for someone else to do all the cooking.

That's some really good advise, even for people who don't have panic attacks. It might help with stressful situations that people tend to dwell on. Thanks.

Diva....we're gonna have a baby! Yay! Any time now. I pray for a quick and easy delivery and that you and the baby are fine!Keep us posted please.

Slim...I am hurting some but not super bad right now. Thanks for asking. I am also afraid of heights. I have a step ladder I won't get on hardly. It's sad when I want to go swimming at DD's home and can't get above the 3rd rung on the ladder for the pool! It's one of those big inflatable pools. I didn't become afraid until after I had my kids. When I lose some more weight I am going to try to fix that problem. How... I am not for sure yet. Beth...As far as the dog situation there really isn't anything I can add that hasn't been said already. If you decide to stay at a hotel just explain you love your sister but hate the dog and you are afraid of being bitten. I am sorry you have this stress about your vacation. It should be a worry free time, not one full of stress. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Morning all. Talking about the 4th, they have already started celebrating in my neighborhood. They started shooting off fireworks last night about 9pm. My DGS's b-day is on the 3rd and they are having his party on the 4th. I am helping cook. He want's fried rice. My DD doesn't have the slightest idea how to make it. I have unusual GS when it comes to what they want to eat on their b-days. This DGS is going to be 6, my other one will be 10 at the end of July and he wants ribs. No pizza or hot dogs. LOL. But it is a tradition I started with my girls. I let them choose what they wanted to eat for their b-day dinners. Ebony, I pray you hear something today. I know your on pins and needles about the job. Are you driving or flying to Fl. for vacation? Susan how is the unpacking going? I pray everyone has a blessed day. I just want to say Thank you all for being my friends. One of these days I might meet some of you all. That would be awesome!

Glad you had a good b-day Lulu. Glou....hopefully it will turn out to be pretty much what you want in the end. I agree it is ridiculous about lights being an upgrade, that's kinda like a car with no engine, the engine would be an upgrade! I want to thank everyone for your concerns and prayers. I called the ER a few min. ago and I got a recording telling me that they can't discus anything medical over the phone. So asking a question is out. I would have to go there ask and pay the stupid $2.00 parking fee, and the $260.00 ER fee. You are automatically charged $260.00 just for signing your name on the roster. it doesn't mater if you are seen or not. If you get tired of waiting and leave to go to the other hospital you are still charged. But in order to get an answer they tell you that they can't answer that you have to see the Dr. So I guess I will go after work. I have to work today. I get my first paycheck today. Woohoo a whole whopping 15 hrs. Better than nothing. I hired in in between pay periods. SO I will post later and let you know how things are going. Everyone have a blessed day.

yes Ebony, Beth is a wise woman and so is Kat. Her reply made a lot of sense also. I can't sleep. I am in to much pain. My pain meds aren't helping at all. I wonder if I call the ER and ask if I come back in if I can get an emergency surgery since my arm goes numb more and so do my legs now. I also feel like I have an electrical current shooting through my arm at times. Hurts like a son of a pot licker! It might be the only way to get the surgery I need on my back. Then all I would have to worry about is the surgery on my thyroid. I would rather be in labor right now than this. My first 2 children I had natural and no meds or anything, that didn't hurt like I am now. I am sorry for crying again.

Well vent here all you want to hon. We support each other. We are family in a way. Good luck with your Dr. appointment. Are you self pay or insured?
