it seems really nifty, but the problem is that most of the foods listed are american so i have to put everything i eat in by hand.....blah....and then the percentages and stuff dont match up because here in europe they use a diffrent system

Does any one use sparkpeople.com? From what I can tell its similar to fit day, but its free. I'm logging in and I'm going to try it....has any one else tried it?

I concur! Mods, great job. Being neutral in a place where you also share your feelings isn't easy to do.

ahahahah!!!!! I made hubby watch it too...tooo funny!!! that guy is good!

Did ya look in the kabonker? Mine always esconde around there.... Maybe you can call the plumber and he can help you pull it out?

sooooooooooooooooooo adorable here ya go (no problem) :biggrin1:

don't look lins, go about your life, make friends, go out, do things you enjoy, and when your not looking..wham..mr.right will hit you in the face.

Hey Vines, Thanks for remembering me. I speak Portuguese and Spanish (castellano from Spain). I am currently taking French and German, so I wouldn't say I am "fluent" but hopefully by this time next year I'll be fluent in them as well, also if I'm REALLY nice to A1ikou, maybe she'll teach me some Greek. As for Thai, well here ya go Telly: ยินดีด้วยกับความสำเร็จของคุณ.. ขอให้เจอแต่สิ่งดีดี or if you prefer yin dee duay kub kwam sum ret khong koon, kho hai jer tea sing dee dee

hey there, your about the same weight as me, i was 240 when i was banded, and i was scared outta my mind too, when i was in the hospital room waiting for them to take me i was wondering what in the hell was i doing as well, but its all over with and forgotten now. so im sure you will be fine! we all go through the same thing.

hum...im not a home owners expert, but id tell the managers they ought to pay for it unless they wanted dead bird stank all over the building... if you google how to fix a hole in the wall you should be able to find something.... Gawd i feel really bad for ya....

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, how frustrating.....there isn't a local animal controll that you can call to come help you? Some one from the humane society, they have more experience in dealing with this stuff....poor bird....i dont think it would have died just from being there this morning, it probably got stuck, or got to tired to make any more noise? If you cant hear it though its gonna be hard to get it out.....can u see in with a flash light? Maybe that will stir it back awake or something....

I had and still have a tightness in my chest, its just my bodies way of adjusting to the band, my surgeon said its normal. its not really painful just sort of a sensation that i have now that i didnt have before.

While driving on the freeway, you're cut off by a truck, and your car veers into the concrete median, killing you instantly. ok this is freaky because i am a bit of an excentric driver and portuguese drivers are insane, my mom is always afraid im going to drive in a car accident......

Hey Jessie, I noticed you wern't around...good to see you back.

Any one wanna chat, I'm there.....

hey sally, thanks, I'm going to start weighing stuff too, i have a nice kitchen scale as well....is that 4 to 6 including everything? veggies meat etc? and is that before cooking or after cooking?

ohh, how terrible! Can't you call animal control or something like that?

Hey Sherri, I know this is difficult for you, once i decided to get banded come hell or high Water I was doing it the fastest route possible. A lot of people here will tell you to wait it out. But I think its a personal decision, I personally couldn't live with myself if I had to wait 6 more months so I paid. However I had the money and it wasn't a hardship for me, plus insurance just wasn't an option. I think if you can wait it out, go ahead, you have the rest of ur life to lose weight and trust me its not going to be all off by summer, this is more of a slow and steady thing. Plus only having to pay $800 is WAY better then the $10,000 that I paid. However if you think mentally you just can't handle waiting and you can afford it, go self pay. Good luck in whatever you choose.

skinny sexy momma please........a thumb is an ounce, wow didnt know that...rock on sista!

Thats great 3loves, your mom sounds like a wonderful person. And good luck to you BOTH on your upcoming surgeries, I will keep you in my thoughts.

thats becoming my problem now, i see the food on my plate, and it doesnt look like enough. so i add more but then i end up stuffed. Has some one posted a portions guide any where? So I know more or less how much of normal foods I should be eating?

I've been a bit worried about this as well because I'm only supposed to be eating around 200ml of food, but I seem to be able to eat more then that. I just figured that some of the food was passing through the band while i was still eating (since I eat pretty slow). I don't think I'm stretching it, but I guess it could always be a possibility... at least its not a serious problem.

hum...? you think the pm was a troll? am i missing the boat here?

I welcome any and all advice in any form that it's given to me. Positive or negative. If I can use it, I will, if I can't, I don't. Simple as that. Penni, Letha, Delarla, NewSho, Jack, Sue, Alex, Paula and all the rest of you guys have been nothing but a guiding light for me. I love you all for that! If it wasn't for LBT I wouldn't have even gotten banded, nor would my husband have agreed to it. He reads here too sometimes and you all helped a "skinny" person see the light as well. A big hug for you all! (((((((((((((((:eek:)))))))))))))

wow!!! I've gotten 21 of the 29 confirmed. As soon as every one is confirmed we will draw names!
