That image is burning my brain! Make it stop!:thumbup:

I get up that early to have my quiet time before waking up DH and DS. I get up at that time every morning. Of course, I am on eastern time so it's really only 5 when I get up.

Morning! There is no way I can catch up on every post since I last posted. I will simply say I am feeling for those of you with troubles, and celebrating with those of you with victories!

I have my fingers crossed for you! I can understand the need to get away from the boards. I am glad to see you back though! Keep us posted on how things go with your fill. I have one on Thursday that can't come soon enough. This will be my 7th fill. I feel them for about 2 weeks then back to bandster hell. I completely understand how you feel. Just remember, you are not alone.

Hi Debbie! You never took more than you gave. When you gave/give, it is from the heart. It means so much more that way. You are awesome! Your journey has continued to inspire. We will continue to be there for each other, whether that be online or just in spirit. Hugs to you too!

I am so jealous!

Man...the crickets can be heard chirping in here. This sure has been a very slow posting weekend. I hope that everyone had a very pleasant weekend. Hopefully you all will be back tomorrow! Hey losingjusme!

:scared2::lol:That is a visual that just made my day!

To force me to stay inside and clean the house?:wub: I have been up forever. I have already done the grocery shopping and hit Sam's. I am now cleaing my kitchen so that I can mess it up again. MIL came over to bum more cigs.:scared2: While here, she offered to help clean. I guess that is supposed to be payment for the use of the car and all of the smokes from DH.:tt2:

:tt1:

Yay Beth! That is great!

I am so glad to know that I am not the only one with the itching. I asked my coworkers and they all looked at me like I had grown another head. heartfire-I am sorry about your dog situation. Hopefully the medicine with help with the pain. I am going to try to get out today and walk some more. I hadn't really noticed if the hunger started after I started walking. That is something to think about. Have a great day everyone!

That is great heartfire! I am sure that new stroller will help you a lot. I was very active this weekend. I actually lost 2 pounds since last week. Yay! I walked the hills and stairs around my job today for 30 minutes. By the time I was coming back to my job, my legs felt like jello and itched like the dickens! I don't know if the itching is because my fat globs moving too much or what. Once I slowed down, the itching stopped. I don't get it. My hunger has seemed insatiable (sp?) lately. I have a fill scheduled for the 21, but I really could use it now. Will power sucks! I had planned to do the pouch test this week, but I forgot to buy the things I would need. DH said that he will do it with me (he's not banded). I thought that was sweet. I guess the true test will be if he actually does it.

DH offered to take me to see Star Trek yesterday. I decided I would rather wait until a little later. I am glad that I don't go to the main page. I don't think I could take belly shots so early in the morning.

OMG! I laughed so hard when I read that! She did call for cigs. I am glad that she got the rest from you!:mad:

To all of the mothers, Happy Mother's Day! :tt2::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::sneaky::wub:

Shopping is my new vice. Now we just need to win. :-)

I used Dr. Jaime Ponce. He has offices in both Dalton, GA and Chattanooga, TN. He does charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $14,000 but that includes everything (surgery, hospital, and I think even some follow ups + reduced cost fills for the first year). I love his staff. They are really nice and knowledgable.

You and me both!:tt2:

What she said.:glare:

I am so sorry SNT. I have only known one person that had it. It wasn't the best situation. I will admit that she was an older person (sixty something), and I think that made it worse. I hope that you were able to get started on the meds soon enough to stop it from getting worse.

You are welcome to come play in the dirt at my house. I have a flower bed or two that really need some attention. I just don't know what to do with them.

Morning everyone. Hot coffee and a quiet house...life just doesn't get any better.

I hope you feel better SNT. I have never understood dead beat parents. Babies are so precious that I can't understand any parent(man or woman) that won't to right by their kids.

Horses, motorcycles....scared of them both. DH just wants a big truck. He has never shown much interest in the crotch rockets (thank goodness).
