gone 4 ever

Congratulations Jamie! 100 lbs is awsome! Happy B-Day also. Have some fun you deserve it.

Congrats! She is absolutly beautiful!:smile2:

I know almost immediatly after I swallow that I made a mistake. Most of the time I will have some pain and start burping like crazy. I can feel it trying to come up or go down. I have pb'd about 4or5 times. The longest pb session I had took about 45 min. before it was all said and done. I have also slimed. But I haven't personally had pain with slimming. I hope this has answered your questions.. Also take in mind everybody is different. Someone else might not pb as long as I had that 1 time. Some maybe longer. It depends on the individual. As far as being newley banded and burping..get used to it. It eventually gets better. I belch really bad after my fills now for 1 or 2 days. good luck

I have been told "you have all the qualifacations we are looking for, but because of your weight I won't hire you. You might have a heart attack." I was 25 yrs old at that time and 225. No one was around so I couldn't sue. I was so livid! It was managing a Pizza Hut! I have lost out on good jobs because of my weight. 1 job a freind and I both applied for. I had more experience than she did, but she got hired. So I know it happens. Stand at a counter and have to say excuse me to get help. My EX fiance breaking up with me because his family didn't approve of a FAT woman. Thats ok his loss not mine! I could go on but I won't.

Ask them to do the fill under floro. That way they can see what they are doing.

Here are some colors of fall. I love fall. The smells of the leaves, the colors of them, the crunch of the leaves under your feet, the cooler temps...I could go on and on but I won't. I do miss snow. I am origanally from Ohio. I just want 1 good snow fall per yr. here. Last measurable snow we had was 7or8 yrs ago maybe longer. Just give us 5" or more. Preferably @ Christmas time. Is that too much to ask? LOL

Good luck Cleo's mom and DD. You both will be fine. Keep us posted.

No it didn't. It will only let me update my weight loss. I tried it several times thinking I might have missed something. I will probably have to do a new ticker. Thanks anyway.

Thank you slim

O.K. this may seem like a dumb question, but how do you use humas? I kept hearing about how good it is for you. I bought 2 different kinds of it and have no idea in what to use it in, or how to fix it into a dip or anything else. So would somebody please help me out? Thanks

Hellooooooo.....anyone out there? No one know the answer to my question?????

My Dr. said 48 hrs liquids. Which I did. But when I ate regular foods after that I pb'd. I went back on liquids and then 48 hrs mushies. Just take it slow. Good luck

Great! Awsome feeling isn't it! good luck with your journey

Here we go...lets all do a write in. I'd vote for him I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM: (1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can. (2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart' policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' (3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it. (4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens. (5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin' in, you ain't gettin nuttin' out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it. (6) Welfare-Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade. (7) Professional Athletes -- Steroids -- The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life. (8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There are no more life sentences. If convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim: gun, knife, strangulation, etc. (9) One export will be allowed: Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil. (10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause. (11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress. (12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have and better than what you're gonna get. Thanks for listening and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November. God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!! Bill Cosby!!!!!!!! Please Forward This to Everyone you know no matter which side of the fence they're on.

EXCUSE ME!!!! 9/11 WAS NOT A DROP OF A HAT! I almost lost a loved one in that. He lost countless freinds and coworkers.

I am sorry your going thru so much, I am praying for you. Good luck

I voted again. We need to vote all we can. BBK is in 2nd place right now. (the naked girl is ahead by 20something). So lets VOTE people!

I need some help please. I need to change my goal weight on my ticker and can't fugure it out. I set my goal 40 lbs heavier than I really want it to be. When I created my ticker months ago right after banding I guess I felt I wouldn't make it 1/2 way to 170 much less anywhere near the 130 I really want my goal to be. Could someone please help a computer illiterate dingleberry? Thanks in advance.

TicTacs worked for me.

Congrats! I know just how you feel. It is awsome! I have some of those pictures also. 250 sounds like 299 did at first. But it is comming. Then the next mini goal! Keep up the good work!

O.K. Brandi here I go....I don't see her calling you a whore. What I see is a mother that is freaking out that her beautiful daughter is posting pin ups (yes they are very classy) on line. She is thinking about the creeps that could see your pics. Then she continues on to the grandchildren. I see her thinking that they will pose for Playboy.. I think she is having trouble understanding that YOU feel how pretty you are now. Not how pretty your parents always thought you were, even at your heavest. She has issues of your weight loss she has to deal with. She loves you and is still trying to protect you (no matter how old you are). :smile: I realize it can be irritating to be treated like a child, but try to be patient and understanding. Time is to short to be angry with your parents. I would love for my parents to be here and see the new me emerging. I would get irate at their concerns, but would also be thankful for it.

Hi everyone. I am from Huntsville. I love my Dr. His name is Dr. Groves. His partner is Dr. Britt. They are in Albertville but come to Madison 1 time a month. Dr.Groves has the L.B. Dr. Britt done his. I feel very comfotable with him having it. I can ask any questions I want to and know he won't think it odd because he has been there. Good luck with your choise of Dr.s. Keep us posted. I'll help anyway I can.

I am a slow loser. I figured out what I was doing wrong and now I am losing better than before. I wasn't eating enough calories. I had to keep a food diary to find that out. I thought I was eating to much, but actually not enough. I have had 2 fills with a little restriction. I get another fill the 22. So I am working it. Just make sure you are eating enough calories. Good cals for me is between 1200-1400. At least 1 day a week I eat on the high side of my cals. That helps change things up some and burn more cals. DON'T give up hope! You have lost, you will lose. It isn't your fault! I felt that way at first. My old self was full of self lothing. It took a lot of saying "I love myself. I am worth something. I will do this" That helped me overcome those feelings. Good luck and hang tough!
