    PreOp chaos

    I went crazy with last supper and last Breakfast and last lunch! Some people have to some don't. I was only required to lose 10% of my weight presurgery. I only lost 13 pounds. But that was enough to make a huge difference. The week before I did liquids. It all has to do with the liver. If it is too fatty it will make the operation more difficult (they have to move it out of the way to access your stomach). It also has to do with your comfort after surgery. Do yourself a favor and do a liquid thing till surgery. Its only a few days. Get yourself mentally and physically into it. It will help so very much for your diet requirements after. Also, it keeps you pretty clean inside so you might not get as much gas. Gas can get very painful. I also recommend an enema or laxative the night before. I did the enema thing after a week on liquids and I had no gas problems at all. Just a small lower backache for a few days. I am not a doc and I've only been banded for 4 whole weeks! So I am no expert by any means. I am sure that others did the liquid but still suffered from the gas pain. But it cannot hurt and it will be easier to stick to the liquids while healing. You can do it!!!!

    When does this end

    I doesn't end until people like you stop starting threads like this.

    OMIGAWD! I am totally hooked on BB, Survivor and TAR!!! I cannot stand Booger, he is so gross. He thinks he is so very hip. Yep-he's hip alright (yuk) he's riding on Will's back. I hope either Janelle or Will win-they both played the game so different (duh!) But man, they played. Erika is a floater first class. The showmance between her and Booger is grossing me out. I really felt bad how Howie was played by George when he was the only one who was civil to George. And don't even get me started on the horrible remarks the guys make about the girls. I never respect any man who refers to a woman as a whore. I really hate Booger and the now gone Jase for that. I hope their Moms are proud. Anyway...I love those shows (not all the BB shows though, it depends on the cast -my fave was BB3-big fan of Amy). Survivor soon! TAR soon!

    Yeah, I'm bringing it up again

    If a person is banned they should be banned completely. Their IP address should be banned. There is no point in banning an email address. All they produce are Hydras. Cut off one head and another simply grows back. I have great respect for the mods when they make a difficult decision to ban anyone. I have great disdain for the mods when they cannot control the ban and let hydras grow to continue to spread discord among the entire board. Fair is fair. If you ban a person you ban them. No new email names. If LBT does not have that technical ability then perhaps it should try to get it in order to run a fair and impartial board. For those of you who don't fully understand the IP address thing-it bans the human being from joining under any addition names. The mods are not stupid but they act irresponsibly at times. Stop banning mere email names and start banning people.

    Seems that while I was at work, peace has been restored to the kingdom. And they all lived happily ever after...

    DeLarla vs. PhotoNut

    I'll give it a try Joliesmom! LOL!!! I am really not taking sides, I'm just enjoying Fitlalarabones because she is really losing it. It's both fascinating and a whole buncha fun to witness. If P'nut was writing the same arsenic laden posts I'd be happy to have a little fun with her too. Like I have previously mentioned-I am only here since around February. So I am not tuned into the LBT History Channel of Past Whackiness. I just know from the past couple of days. I do not like bullies in any shape or form. From recent posts the bully is Fitlalarbones. As long as her threads keep me laughing I'm there!

    Dody darling-perhaps you didn't read my post clearly enough. Judging by your somewhat hostile response, it would seem that you feel my post was pejorative. You don't know that for sure, it may have been complimentary. Don't always look at the glass half empty!

    DeLarla vs. PhotoNut

    Just for the record I believe that P'nut is also responsible for: Global Warming El Nino Paris Hilton's popularity White fishnet stockings (a fashion horror-black fabu-white uh!) The price of gasoline Calories in anything Bad Breath Droopy boobies after the age of 45 Impotence in men over 89 Buying low and selling high Dry cuticles Hangnails The return of pencil thin jeans Bad blind dates that "forget their wallets" Flat souffles Kids that say "my Daddy's nickname for Mommy is just like when I call the kitty" in front of company That Lost didn't get any Emmy nominations That really bad black dress Gwyneth Paltrow wore a few years back to the Oscars That woman P'nut is a menace, a horror-no punishment is too good for her! Um, there must be more horrible things that P'Nut is responsible for, can anyone else think of anymore????

    Maybe I was wrong, maybe the new name won't be Hydra, maybe it will be Sybil. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

    oops We came so close to having fun and then... hydra! BTW-for those of you who pm'd me to ask what the heck a hydra is/was-well, I knew it was a mythological beast with many heads that grew back whenever one was cut off. But I could never explain it as well as this: "The Hydra had the body of a serpent and many heads (the number of heads deviates from five up to one hundred there are many versions but generally nine is accepted as standard), of which one could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other heads were severed another would grow in its place (in some versions two would grow). Also the stench from the Hydra's breath was enough to kill man or beast (in other versions it was a deadly venom). When it emerged from the swamp it would attack herds of cattle and local villagers, devouring them with its numerous heads. It totally terrorized the vicinity for many years." So goes the official myth. As we know myths and fairy tales always have a moral and are based on some truths. And myths and fairy tales although they usually have some violence in them, it seems to be unavoidable (the Brothers Grim and Aesops all stand by their claim "It was central to the plot") yet-they almost always end happily. They end happily because the village always fights to be happy not sad, to be joyous not pissed, to be somewhat drunk and not completely sober. The village never, ever wants their village to become a complete downer. Especially when they don't give a dragons poop about long ago pissing contests that have zero to do with them. I love the poetry of myths and fairy tales don't you? Sorry, I digress. Here is the rest of the Hydra story for your reading pleasure: "Heracles journeyed to Lake Lerna in a speedy chariot, and with him he took his nephew and charioteer Iolaus, in search of the dreaded Hydra. When they finally reached the Hydras' hiding place, Heracles told Iolaus to stay with the horses while he drew the monster from its hole with flaming arrows. This brought out the hideous beast. Heracles courageously attacked the beast, flaying at each head with his sword,but he soon realized that as one head was severed another grew in its place. Heracles called for help from Iolaus, telling him to bring a flaming torch, and as Heracles cut off the heads one by one from the Hydra, Iolaus cauterized the open wounds with the torch preventing them from growing again. As Heracles fought the writhing monster he was almost stifled by its obnoxious breath, but eventually, with the help of Iolaus, Heracles removed all but one of the Hydras' heads. The one remaining could not be harmed by any weapon, so, picking up his hefty club Heracles crushed it with one mighty blow, he then tore off the head with his bare hands and quickly buried it deep in the ground, placing a huge boulder on the top" The End Moderators-Thy name is Hercules. Village-They name is Iolaus We must rule with humor, we must tickle the funny bone, we must take the village back! Now pass the tequila.

    Put Up Or Shut Up

    Delarla was one of Lisa's multiple personalities along with Lisa Bones. She is now posting as Fitter. From what I can figure out without a program is that Delarla and Lisa Bones have been banned. Fitter is still with us, as you can obviously see. It does seem rather disingenuous of the moderators to ban two personalities when there seems to be few more of the same human being that keep popping up. One would think you would ban the person not simply the email name, no? Anyway-back to the show without the use of a program. Seems that the "Fitlarlabonesa" (think Bennifer) has some primal need to be right. Not just right but fire and brimstone, hard heiney, no prisoners taken, the taxman cometh, your period is late, public laundry washing, root canal without novacaine, fire without seeing the whites of their eyes, going straight to hades in a handbasket right. About what exactly I am not sure, I didn't pay extra for the big program with the pictures. Something about other members stalking her and (the best part) about an old moth eaten LBT scandel that nobody cares about anymore that happened when Jimmy Carter was in office. It matters not to "Fitlarlabonesa" that everyone involved in the (insert Jaws theme) has tried to stop the insanity. It is not enough to say stop and it never will be enough until somebody confesses!!!! Yes, (stroking my glued on curled moustache and cackling with evil glee) someone must confess!!! So...if you're still with me without benefit of a program, "Fitlarlabonesa" will continue to self destruct in public. Because a) nobody is confessing to anything and I can't wait to see the next personality pop up. I can only pray the next one calls itself "Hydra".

    Lisa, This is fascinating. Almost like a psychology experiment. I don't believe in all my years on various message boards that I have actually seen someone so self destructive as yourself. You are like a car accident. I don't want to look but I just can't help myself. So...as long as nobody is physically hurt, I'm going to continue to watch you implode. Its better than cable. It's just a bummer I am only in my 4th week so I can't eat popcorn while I watch.

    Ethical Question

    I am not certain what you mean, in all honesty. I am just curious how she is doing with her band. The only think I know is that she was gone a long time and now she is back (and forth LOL!). Since I also understand she was around a long time before I ever arrived I really (honestly no kidding around) am interested in someone who has longevity is doing. She didn't start a controversial thread with this one so I'm respecting that. I don't have much to say about the charity thing and I don't know how much longer she'll be around so I took the opportunity to ask. I ask all the long term banders when I can. Thats it.

    Colon Blow anyone?!?

    Well, just before I was banded I had a colonoscopy. That was quite the colonblow! Since they send that scope wwwaaaayyyy up you gotta be clean, clean, clean. So I will pass on the invitation. But I do give you major props for one of the most interesting thread titles I have ever seen. Possibly only second to my own "I need a pen to write on my boobs" thread. Have fun!
