  1. This was funny! Good morning all
  2. pjtp..checking to see if my avatar changed
  3. You have to do what is right for your health. I pray it all goes well. Just don't forget us. I agree with you Luluc. I have started reading about the sleeve. If I had known about it I might have gotten it. I love my band most days. I hate my band when I get stuck or it decides to become finicky. I am sorry LJM. I can totally empathize with you. I lost my best friend about 18 yrs ago. Wow I didn't feel like it has been so long. It's never easy. Keep enjoying your family, cause they will help keep your mind off of it. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
  4. GRRRRRRRRRR... this is all I can say
  5. PJTP....we have passed pg 700 on this thread.
  6. A few yrs. ago my kids and I went out with a friend to our fav. Chinese restaurant . He was laughing and teasing about it being cat. About 2 months later they got busted for serving CAT! I called him and told him that and he said lets go get more.:tongue2: We still laugh about it. I was stuck just a little while ago. I didn't chew well enough. I knew it as soon as it started to slip down my throat. I was trying to stop it. I almost sounded like my cats when they get a fur ball Sorry TMI. Kinda kept going on the cat theme.
  7. Welcome Whiterabbit. I personally would talk to a weight loss surgeon first. Have your family Dr. run test to make sure it isn't your thyroid. Make sure that you do a lot of research and do what is right for you. Good luck on whatever you decide.
  8. Welcome back Tap. You know ole mother nature had to welcome you home with a beautiful blanket of white.:thumbup::thumbup: O.K. I think I'm done playing now.
  9. Well it seems to me you might have started giving yourself the stern talking to. You know what your doing wrong. It may not be the easiest thing to correct but do it.Tell the inner fat girl she needs to leave because that isn't you anymore. Do the 5 day pouch test. That should help you get back on track. Like someone else said don't buy it (the wrong foods). Also keep a food journal of what your eating. That way you see what and how much your eating and drinking. Get back to exercise. Even if it is only a few min. a day. It will help. You have done and awesome job. You can continue to do an awesome job. Good luck and keep us posted.:party: Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test
  10. Truckstop breakfast menu... Octo Mom Breakfast: 8 eggs no sausage someone else pays for it
  11. [Let’s face it, when AARP sends you more mail then Victoria’s Secret you’re on your way out. Can I just say here, STOP SENDING ME MAIL AARP!!! I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I’M READY TO JOIN!!!!]quote My birthday was a few weeks ago. I turned 50. On my birthday I received not 1 but 2 items from the AARP! So far the only b-day I had problems with was my 30th. I am getting better with age, like a fine wine. Having the LB is helping me get better. I am eating healthier and looking some better. So have a Happy (early) 50th Birthday!
  12. sounds like you had a lot of fun!
  13. Good luck with the rest of your journey... Do the 5 day pouch test. It will help you get back on track.:wink: Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test
  14. Paul Harvey was a famous radio host. He was known for the saying "and now for the rest of the story". He could make his stories come alive. I could visualize his stories so easily. Leaves me out. I still can't fit rides. But I will one day be able to. It is actually snowing here. We won't get much, but I could drive 20/30 miles any direction and find 2-4". I would if the flippen wind chill wasn't in the single temps.
  15. PJTP...Paul Harvey died. I will miss him
  16. Welcome Anastaria, Wow 100 lbs lost, that is awesome. If you don't mind me asking how much more do you have to lose? We are here for you. So any questions ask away.
  17. IMHO Why not just tell the truth. If you lie about it, you won't be getting off on the right foot. Your partner will wonder how many more lies have you told.
  18. ROFLMOL Diva your looking great!
  19. I am currently a substitute teacher. But I am looking for full time work. I haven't worked in a month. The school has called me 3 times this month and all 3 times I was taking my daughter to the Dr. or sitting with her after her surgery.Anyone near Huntsville know of anything let me know please. I can't work Sun. or past 5 pm. I will get up and be there before the crack of dawn. I need a job asap! Other than that I take my job as a parent and a grandmother very seriously.
  20. Were actually getting in the 60s today! Yeah! We are in the flip-flopping back and forth between cold 30s and low 40s to high 50s and 60s. I am so ready for spring. I hate summer, too hot, but I might like it this year. Now since I freeze, maybe I won't roast this summer!
  21. Hellooo.....anyone out there? or is everyone having trouble getting on LB. I have had trouble on and off the last few days. But seemed fine yesterday and today. Hope everyone is having a great day.
  22. Don't forget the herbal brownies to go with the tea Plain.:thumbup:
  23. There is a good chance that one of these days she will be obese. She then will go through the experiences that we have had. Then she can take all of her natural words and EAT them. My cousin used to make fun of me as kids. She is now just about if not heavier than I am. All I am saying is be careful of what you say. (Kinda like be careful of what you wish for) It could come back and bite her in the rump and thighs and legs....
  24. Welcome and congrats on the band Dzynr. I wish you luck on your journey. I am glad you are learning from our post. Yes patience is definatly key. You have lost 38 lbs! That is awesome in such a short time.A lot of Dr.s think 1-3 lbs a week is good. You have exceeded that! Be proud in the amount you have lost so far. As many has said we don't gain overnight and we won't lose it overnight. So be patient.
