sad, sad loss. banded or not...in light of the loss of life, the band is the least of my concerns right now. my heart is heavy. i will worry about the band when...if it is revealed that it contributed to any circumstance of her passing.

hooray for you!! good luck and congrats!

Shackdog, please clarify the editing threads comment...?? What are you looking at?

LMAO @ the eyes popping out, that is so true, and I never even thought about it, and obviously didn't miss it this morning, but my eyeballs ARE still intact.

naked, 'cept for the carmel coating....

This morning when I tied my shoes, it was like any other day, right? WRONG...as I was getting in my truck, I noticed that the bow was on the TOP of the shoe, instead of the side of the shoe. ((PHAT GIRLS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT!!)) This is my first NSV, and since my loss has been painfully slow, this is especially sweet!!:clap2:

DOH! This is more fun than a bobbing for pickles in a bucket of pimento cheese!!

poor kat, they made her sing with meatloaf, and it IS AWFUL!!!

What about Big John... as in "Every morn at the mine you could see him arrive he stood 6 foot 6 and weighed 245 kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip and everbody knew you didnt give no lip to big john. big john, big john, big bad john. Nobody seem to know where john called home, he just drifted into town and stayed all alone. he didnt say much kinda quiet and shy and if ya spoke at all you just said hi to big john. somebody said he came from new orleans where he got in a fight over a cajun queen and a crashing blow from a huge right hand sent a louisiana fella to the promise land, big john. big john, big john, big bad john. Then came the day at the bottom of the mine when a timber cracked and men started crying, miners where praying and hearts beat fast and everybody thought they'd breathed their last cept john. through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell walked giant of a man with a minors new weld, grabbed a saggin timber and gave out with a groan and like a giant oak tree just stood there alone. big john, big john, big bad john. and with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove then a minor yelled out theres a light up above and twenty men scrambled from a would be grave and now theres only one left down there to save big john. with jacks and timbers they started back down, then came that rumble way down in the ground and as smoke and gas belched out of that mine, everybody knew it was the end of the line for big john. big john, big john, big bad john. now they never re-opened that worthless pit, they just placed a marble stand in front of it. these few words are written on that stand: At the bottom of this mine lies one Hell of a Man: BIG JOHN. big john, big john, big bad john.

Don't feel bad, with the band, you should lose 1-2 lbs per week, and it looks to me that you are ahead of schedule. You are doing GREAT @ 23 lbs in 2 months!! I think this happens to a lot more of us that you would think. look at me for example...i was 207 at consult, 203 on surgery day, which was march 13, and today i am at 195/196. Forget turtle's pace, I am a snail. But I just keep reminding myself that as long as I live by the band's rules, I will eventually lose the weight. I have decided not to over-analyze until i am at least 6-8 months out. Then I will take stock, and determine what my next step will be, whether it is changing everything, or continueing what I have been doing. Rest assured that this will happen, maybe not overnight, maybe not in 2 or 4 months, but it will happen. I just look at it like this...I have lost 11 pounds since february, and not gained it back. that is the best i have ever done...i mean i have certainly LOST more weight than that in a smaller amount of time, but within 3 months, i had always gained it back with a little extra. My 11 lbs and your 23 lbs, are gone for good!! bye bye hoohoo see-ya!! Hang in there Sister, and any time you need support, just holler. You are going to do fine.

:clap2: keep up the good work.
