Ohhhhh Maaaaaan, Yoda's got her own thread? Don't let this go to your head Yoda:p . Hey, don't you have a fill scheduled for tommorow? I think ratgirl also has a consult, too. I think it's at TLBC but I could be wrong (of course that never happens).

Thats one hell of a ticker Mandi! It's beautiful in every way. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Whats a Conundrum?:confused: Hey, and how come Kim gets to be kinky?

Oh No, Marie can't leave!! I love her, she is soooo sweet. They'll have a hard time finding someone as wonderful as her.:cry . Damn that ticker anyway, Jude. Stomp on it, give it a kick in the @ss:mad: !!

Its good to know that others have been in the same situation, makes it feel less shameful. I used to be a drive-thru junkie, one after the other after another. It had nothing to do with being hungry. Once my husband took my vehicle and pulled a BK bag out from under the drivers seat. He proceeded to pull out about a half a dozen bags I had hidden under there, from McD's, BK etc... it was sooooo embarrassing. The part I didnt tell him was that, that was only from the day before. OMG, I'm so grateful for my band.

Thanks for your help guys!! I think my allergys are the reason I'm kinda stuck. Last week I was debating on getting my rings sized smaller, this week I'm so puffed up I can barely get them off. I think that is some kind of water rention? I'm hoping the meds will help. Thanks again guys!! :scalesno:

:scalesno: Yaaaaaahhhhhhhh, WTG!! :) Mandi, that is SUCH great news!! You have been patient, and you've been a good patient, and now its paying off!! Good Going!! Get that ticker up and running, we wanna see it NOW!!

Jude, Im so happy things are looking better for you. You have been through alot, and you deserve a little break!!! My restriction is strange too, it comes and goes at weird times of day. Im just trying to find a pattern, not sure there is one. Marie is funny, I sure hope she's not retiring. I cannot believe she would be that old. I never would have guessed. I sensed the last time I was there, that they were training more nurses for fills and what-not, because they will be moving into there newly built, larger building in September(ish) and then they will be expanding. She was telling me about 3 months ago that this is the job she always dreamed of, cause she really feels that shes making a difference. So hopefully she'll be sticking around. Enjoy the bit of relief your getting, do something for YOU, and ramble on, we love hearing from you.:scalesno:

Anyone suffering from allergies? Today I have a headache, Im puffed up, (like water retention), and my throat is itchy, generally feel kinda yucky. Anyone else suffer from allergies? Can we take clariton? or is like advil or one of those drugs we are not suppose to take.

hopefully when your able to eat real food again, you'll be less apt to sneak treats. However, the odd treat is nice.

Sooooo, what do ya think my chances are of losing 8 more pounds in 10 days....lol I think the best I can hope for is maybe 2, yeah?

Thanks Maria:)

Yoda....why is Mandi hitting you on the head with a fish? And yes, I agree, Sunshine you should be a model. We are going to sign Mandi up to be a colgate model....lol :brushteeth: (see profile)

Yay, good for you jude, hope this is the answer your looking for. Sleep tight.

Lana, if you got that much of a fill you probably got the 10cc band, maybe. Don't forget guys there are a few different sizes out there. So when Argon has 1.5cc, thats getting close to half of a 4 cc band. Canada Sunshine, it is great to see and hear from you again, Hows it going???? We want detail!!!!!:mad:

KIM, Neenaugh should do what her surgeon wants her to do!!!!! BAD KIM *slaps ruler on knuckles*. Nurses make the worst patients (and I know, cause my husbands family is full of them!!).

neenaugh, I couldnt get here either. hey, hows it going, the "final stretch" coming on!!!

Teetering at 293.2.....293.0. Need a few more pounds to go away. The fill a few days ago helped, but then the last few days of BBQ's and Birthday Parties........eeeek.:phanvan 12 days left of August Challenge !!

Whooooo a nice big TV, Mandi. I had a nice big TV in my bedroom "my apartment",lol. But it also blew up in the storm in July, so I hooked up a stupid little one too. But I hate it cause the volume dosent go high enough when I'm on the treadmill. Keep trying to figure out the food thing, keep up the fight!!

Yoda.....I think I used the term "curve" in the road, but if you have humping on your mind.....hey, whatever works!!:laugh

My poor mandi:cry ..... what ARE you able to eat. Make sure your taking some sort of vitamins. I know it's frustrating, hang in there......on the bright side, you should be seeing some scale action soon.

"Best Wishes" Jude.

Gosh, you sure had a bad night!! Just sip warm things today, to calm you. I'm sorry you had to go threw that! I'm terrible for not chewing well, I try and try and I still have alot of improvement. I also have a 4cc band. My first fill was 1cc and the 2nd fill, last week, brought me up to 1.3cc. I think that your fill seems extreme, but your doc must know something we don't. If you do end up getting some out, I certainly wouldnt feel bad, it really does seem like alot!! Good Luck to you, and keep chewing.....(I'll be chewing right along with you..lol).

Does any fellow Canadians plan on getting plastic surgery when they reach goal? Does anyone know if OHIP covers any procedures?

Good to hear that I wasnt the only one that couldnt get here. So apparently I have good restriction for everything except CRAP!! Went to a BBQ and card game last night, was alot of fun, but.........ate a half a bowl of bbq chips, six pieces of french bread with dip, half a burger, pasta salad, half a peice of choc cake, half a piece of lemon pie:eek: !!!! Now this took place over a period of 4-5 hours but HOLY CRAP!! Today I have another bbq and birthday party:faint: , lord help me! Yoda, don't worry about the restriction thing, it's just another curve in the road (it's what we signed up for and PAID FOR..lol)!! Pretty quiet around here, I guess everyone got locked out???
