gone 4 ever

I was floored when I heard she has 6 other children. Why if you already have 6 would you want invertro? When I was little I actually wanted 12 kids. I wanted 6 of my own and to adopt the other 6. But reality set in when I got married and started having kids. I still think adoption is a good way to go. So if you have 6 and want more why not adopt? Or become a foster parent. This is MHO.

Well LJM...just few hrs now. We..... umm..... I mean you will have a new little one. I pray for a quick delivery. That you and the baby are fine. Good luck hon.

Call your Dr. ASAP! If it is hot to the touch then it could be infected. You don't want to wait as it could make things complicated. Please keep us posted. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Are you making an offer?Brad? I'm sure no one here will tell. Will ya gang? You might get other offers?:cursing: Beth great NSV. makes ya feel good doesn't it?

You might need to up your calories for a day or two. I had the same problem about losing and gaining the same pounds. Some else who had been banded for close to a yr told me to change up my calorie intake. If you eat to few your body goes into what is called starvation mode. If you up your cal. intake 1 or 2 days a week your body doesn't store everything you eat. It will burn it up easier. Also if you do the same excersise all the time you need to change that up also. Try this. It should work for you. Oh yea also log all your cal. intake for 1 month to help you see what you are actually doing.

Plain very well said. My ex can't figure out why my kids (all grown) don't call him dad. They call him the "sperm doner" I wouldn't talk bad about him in front of them when they were little. I let them make up their own mind about him, then I talked trash. Usually only called if he was drunk. Never seen them unless I was up home visiting his family. I still get along with a couple of his family members. They offered to bring him down here to visit. Child support? Got $100 a month. He only paid that sporadically. He kept quiting his jobs. He figured a way around me getting his income tax. He is arears $40 k. LuLu glad you are doing so well. LJM..So close!

Way to go granny! That is wonderful. On the other hand I will keep you in my prayers for the health problems.

PJTP....Now we have a fat virus. If we sneeze or cough on some one they can become fat....Can we say lets OSTRISIZE fat people even more! I am sooo mad I could spit! On the Today show they had this woman dr. whom said 30% of fat people have this virus...70% of people are over wieght or obese. She said something about does it mean you will get it if coughed on. Yes and no......Now isn't this saying Stay Away From the FAT person?:thumbup:

Oh yea she is planning on BREAST feeding!!!!!!!!:thumbup: She better have leather nipples!:thumbup:

Morning all. I haven't read any post yet...But did any of you hear about the woman who gave birth yesterday (Mon) to 8, yes 8 babies!!? She is out near LA. LJM.....are you sure your having 1?:thumbup: Are you hiding some?

Good luck to both of you on the 5 day pouch test. Annabell I will keep you and your sister in my prayers.

As usual very well put Jack. I still fight the demons of over eating when I know I am full. I am getting better at it since I don't like to PB or slime. My brain tells me there is no way I can be full off of 3 ozs or less of food. But my band tells me different. At times it is hard to listen to the band. Oh it tasted sooo good, just 1 more bite won't hurt, I don't want to waste this little bit, it cost to much, ect.... This kind of thinking got me FAT in the first place. I am still learning to rewire my brain. What I am basically saying is to listen to your band not your brain. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted.

Yea right...Protein Brownies.... we want some uhmmm protein brownies. :thumbup::w00t: That did sound like a good recipe. But if I cook them I will eat them...........ALL.

the wife slipped out of the car butt naked trying to pull her cothes on, they left in a HUGE hurry......i can't stop laughing at that scene. LOL ! SURPRISE! LOL :party: So you and hubby went and had some fun afterwards right?:cheers2::w00t: Because deep down we really miss them.

Chances are you are to tight. You need to call your Dr, asap and see about getting a little removed. You can get tighter after 2 weeks. That is why generally Dr.s will only do 1 fill a month or longer between. Some times your band will tighten because of stress or that time of the month. If your not better by Mon. Call your Dr. If it gets worse this weekend call his emergency number. Keep us posted please.

Congrats! Gas-Ex strips. The only thing I had post was gas. I love Gas-Ex. The strips work great. The pills I am not fond of. Good luck on your journey.:thumbdown:

Thank you dimple...you might need a slight unfill if your throwing up a lot. I would check with your Dr. asap. Keep us posted please. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you slim and LJM.Maybe if I do enough of these I will lose to next 10 before my b-day next month! LOL.

I have finally reached the 50 lb. lost mark! I am so happy!

Afraid to do Ambien.. Might drive over to middle DDs home and go off on SIL and her. Kidnap grandbabies. Then go to jail...Wouldn't do anyone any good.

LJM...well 1 nieghbor down (so to speak) I am glad you were able to hold out until today. With my 1st 2 DDs My pains were so irregular. The Dr finally gave me something to make them even out. I can't remember the name of the stuff cause it has been 31 yrs ago. My pains would go from 10 min. apart to 1 min. apart then up to 5 min apart. Awful cycle until he gave me the meds. Then after 1 hr my pains were regular and I delivered soon after. My last DD I had toximia and didn't know about it until a week before I had her. I kept telling the Dr.s something was wrong (I used UAB training). It was a week before I delivered her and the Dr. I had Told me I had it. Quote "if you don't do exactly as I tell you, you and the baby will die". I cried and was such a wreck. Then when I went into labor I ended up having a c-sec. because her foot was stuck under my cervix. They didn't tell me that one at all. Then after the c-sec. they never went out and told my family. I had her at 8:32 pm. They didn't find out until a freind of mine who works in the nursury came in for her shift at 11:00pm. She told them and woke me up to give me my DD. Sorry for the horror story.:tt2: Good luck and you are in my prayers.

Becky, sorry to hear about what you have gone through. I pray for a quick healing for you.

Happy bandiversary Amy. Yes 32 lost is way better than 32 gained. :thumbup::smile: Good luck with yr.2 :laugh:
