I am still upset. I only voted three times, I knew I should have voted at least a hundred times. You know, I thought he did VERY well. I was overly confident that he was safe. I wonder if all of his fans were that confident, and failed to vote. I do not think that at this point in the show that america votes based on who did the best job, they vote based on who has become their favorite(s). Chris definitely has the fan base, and I find it odd that he is the most downloaded on the net, most popular, etc, yet was unable to pull in the votes to keep him in. My devastation is born in Chris reaction to the news. His spirit was void. My stomach turned with his when ryan dashed the result in his face! I am FULLY confident that I will be hearing this fella on my radio daily, probably by the end of this year. However, I am hurt, because HE is hurt. I do not think he was doing this for money or fame. I think he wanted to do this for the accomplishment. He wanted to win, wanted to be a winner. Well, he may not get the trophy, but I'll bet ANYONE that he will be the last man standing when the public speaks by record sales!!

oh gosh, lianna, pay attention to how they slap him up side the head with his eviction. look at the poor fella's eyes, his spirit is broken. I know he will recover, but I am SOOO hurt for him. HE IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

he's gone, gone he's gone noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HE IS GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

damn them to hell. i am finished with AI. Let Chris make a CD and I will buy two of them, one for each foot. GOSH I AM SOOOO AGGRAVATED!!

poor fella, i do NOT think that ANYONE in that theatre saw that one coming...he is singing his exit song, and his spirit looks broken. sniff i am so sad for him, but he is still going to be a superstar!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYY GOD....................... can i get some consoling here...???

omigod, is anyone watching this....???? CHRIS JUST GOT BOOTED!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!

i yelled at a stuffed animal because i was drunk

i am not on the list, but the post did not read offensively to me... DeLarla...i think you are great, and you do not owe anyone an apology!!

ok, second fill today... first fill was 4/12/06, 1.3cc's today, they emptied the band, and found that only 0.6cc's was left, explaining my full lack of restriction. So they reloaded and now i have 1.8cc's, and i can feel a difference when i drink Water.

my doc,(who is also kat1215's doc) told me that my first fill would be absorbed by the band within 2 weeks, and that i probably should not expect any significant results from the first fill. the doc told me to schedule my second fill two weeks from the first. i go for the second fill tomorrow, which is a month past the first fill as my doc was on vacation, etc.

well, i had my first fill of 1.3cc's on april 12, and i was told to schedule my next fill in two weeks as the first fill typically is absorbed by the band within 2 weeks. well, i certainly believe this to be true because i lost a little weight EVERY day that first week of having the fill. on that seventh day, all of my so called restriction was gone( i say restriction, but i really mean that i could eat a little bit, not get full, but be able to push away the plate, and be satisfied for several hours) i go for my second fill in the morning. i will let everyone know what they pull out and what they throw back in there.

I am an elephant...LMAO!!!!!!!!! How appropriate! Sooooo, 25% will be reincarnated as a higher life form...

OMIGOSH P'Nut...that was quite funny. Lee makes some 16W slacks that have a bit of stretch and fit great. I have not found 14W's...but I have found that when I went to the other side of the store, that the 18's from the other side where the next size down. Unfortunately, I am still in the much bigger sizes in all the other brands, but the stretchy in the Lee's allow for me to shop in the other department.

Good Luck Sister! Congrats on your band, and don't fret over missing your last suppers...in a few weeks you will be posting in frustration that you have no restriction and are able to eat the same as you could pre-op!!

Hello! Schedule yourself another fill. I had my first fill on April 12, and within 2 weeks, I was eating any and everything again. I havent gained any weight back, but I havent lost any more weight since then. The doc who did my first fill told me, as she was adjusting the band and watching the flouro, that the first fill is typically absorbed by the band within 2 weeks or so. She told me to simply call and schedule another fill if I stopped losing weight, or if my appetite increased. So, IMO, your first fill has done that "disappearing act" that so many bandsters experience. Do not be discouraged! Just keep in mind that this is a slow journey, and as eager as we all are to be thin, we MUST keep our goals realistic. Hang in there girl!

None, I am still the same PhatAzz that I was before banding. I can't wait for my next fill...which is wednesday next week. P'nut, you are a real inspiration to me!! I love you, Sister!

you should not try to fake depression...you seem to have enough other symptoms that look like they constitute co-morbidities...

Omigoshomigosh!! Cabbage Patch>>> :whoo: and here is your honorary #1 Trophy...:first: And I pledge allegiance to your weight loss...:usa2: Sister, I am so happy for you!! And WOW I did not realize just how close you are to your goal until Heather pointed it out!! Way to GO!!:clap2:

1.3cc in a 4cc band...this is my first fill, and i got it on april 12, so it is probably vanished by now. i have NO restriction at all. i go for the next fill on may 10...i am starting to feel that whole last supper syndrome all over again. i know that these very well may be my last days for certain foods! WOW Kathy!!! 1.8cc's?!! You should call now to make your next appointment. I called one week after my first fill to make my next appointment. The P.A. had told me that the fill would be absorbed by the band, and to just call when i got ready for the next fill. so i did!

Plunder, This show is one that you really need to watch from the beginning. it is hilarious watching some of the folks that turn out for the auditions for this show. That is what gets you hooked to watching, then by the time the competition gets serious, you have been following these hopefuls and have developed a fondness for one or two of them. It is kind of hard to turn on the TV and be interested when it is this late in the game. You should make serious plans to watch next year!!

I was afraid this was going to happen...first Dr. Spivak, now Spiegel. I do not know of anyone else who would be in network with UHC. Look for "Gurly" formerly known as HeatherGurl. She always seems pretty knowledgeable about these issues. Have you called UHC to ask if there are any other surgeons in the area? Good Luck, and I am so sorry this happened.

Congrats!! You will be amazed at how quickly you recover, each day is exponentially better than the one before... Take advantage of your time to rest!!

OK Plunder, I checked it out and clicked on everything I could click on. I hope you find your pot of gold at the PS office...

Katherine did NOT perform poorly. I think that the judges like to experiment with mind games to try and manipulate public opinion. (If simon likes them and paula hates them, what will the public vote...If the singer was great and everyone tells them they are awful, how will the public vote...if the singer was awful{Kellie} and simon says she was great, what will thepublic do...etc) ELLIOTT did great, i haven't really paid much attention to him, as i am a DIE-HARD Chris fan...but Elliott commanded my attention last night. I voted for Elliot and Chris. I would say who i thought was going home tonite, but i am ALWAYS way off on that. However, I think that Kellie NEEDS to be the one to leave.
