  1. Exactly. It sounded so fake.
  2. SNT-The girl I knew would be either 36 or 37. The complexion and height are the same. I used to live next door to a girl named Cheria as a kid. It could just be big coincedence. Either way, I hope she is better soon.
  3. I too am becoming a member of the saggy boob club. I now have two tube socks where my breasts used to be. My husband (a breast man) has been sadly disappointed in this part of my weight loss.
  4. No sex that you are telling about anyway...:ohmy:
  5. Her call was off the wall. I don't know if it is because of my prejudice against her for her other actions, but she didn't really sound worried about the child at all. That call really did seem all about her (attention grabbing). I don't know.
  6. I did actually send a PM to Susan this morning after reading the post from Ken. She hadn't answered me. I have to agree that he could have identified himself as someone working with Alex. It would have helped (although I probably still wouldn't have provided my IP... just saying).
  7. Exactly! I cannot fathom how they could possibly grow up to be healthy minded individuals if they only have her to nurture them.
  8. :tt1: I had to laugh at this one. It reminded me of a time several years ago. I didn't have a cell phone. I forwarded my calls to my mom's house while I was there. I forgot to unforward them. When she couldn't reach me at home (it kept going back to her house), she called the police! At 2 in the morning, I had the police at my door! When I answered, the policeman asked me to PLEASE call my mom because she was worried! How embarrassing!:ohmy:
  9. I have PCOS, but I am beyond child bearing. Losing the weight has helped me with my PCOS symptoms. I no longer have to take metforming for insulin resistance. I have a normal A1C score now. I haven't had my hormone levels checked yet, but the body hair has slowed. PCOS was used in helping to determine if I was eligible for surgery. Good luck to you whatever you decide!
  10. What everyone else has said is so true. I had my 5th fill this month to finally get good restriction. Each fill will build on the previous. It does take some time. I gained and lost the same 5 pounds for quite a while between fills. It will come. Good luck!
  11. OMG! 14 teenagers/preteens in one house! I cannot imagine.
  12. Hey CC! Brandy is right! About time!
  13. Thanks for posting this. Thankfully, I think my situation is resolved (at least for now).
  14. I couldn't get on here for a little while. I could get to other websites so I figure this was down for a bit.
  15. I guess that is why I don't get it. I haven't wanted to talk to the people from high school when I see them in the store so why bother to have them look me up on facebook? I created a facebook account once. I deleted it soon after.
  16. The sweet spot is different for everyone. Basically, when you reach the sweet spot, you should be satisfied on much less food (1/2 cup to 1 cup of food). You should also stay satisfied for 4-5 hours. Considering how much you were able to eat, I would for sure say that you are not there. A lot of doctors are conservative to allow you to slowly get used to eating the bandster way. My doctor was this way. Until you hit that spot, you are going to gave to try really hard to control your own eating. See if your doctor will schedule another fill. Also, discuss it with your doctor how much you are able to eat. After my last fill (my fifth), I was finally able to understand what people are talking about. I don't know if I am at the sweet spot, but I do finally have restriction. Call you doctor and talk to him. That is what he gets the big bucks for. Good luck!
  17. I have to be truthful and say that I don't get facebook or myspace. Then again, this and one other lapband forum, are the only forums that I have ever posted on. I guess I am behind the times.
  18. I guess I have to get over it. I spend more time on LBT from work anyway. I had been having trouble for a while, but could access it just fine from work. Strange.
  19. Her having children for her own attention sort of smacks at munchausen by proxy. Once she is not able to garner attention having babies, what is she going to do to get it back? Will she start making the babies sick? Maybe that is why she put the nails back on knowing that it could make the babies sick. Who knows with this dim bulb woman?
  20. NOOOOOOOOO!:tt2: That means I have to go back to work on Monday. This has been the shortest vacation week in history!:tongue_smilie:
  21. :thumbup::lol:I don't know how I missed that part of your post!
  22. I had to laugh at this one. This is the reason I still drink at least half a cup of coffee every morning (my doctor does allow me to have 1 cup a day).
  23. Thanks for the advice. I thought it was odd that this guy had never posted before, but was asking for my info. Thankfully, I think my internet problem has been fixed. I replaced my dsl modem today and it seems to be working better. I will let someone know about that guy. I know it is possible that he is legit, but it just didn't sit well with me.
  24. That was my thought too.
  25. Ok, Mods and Admins, who is TheKen. I have been having trouble with my connection to LBT and he has asked me for my IP address. I am NOT giving that out without some clear info that he isn't just out to ruin my computers. SNT-She is has my prayers. Is she, by any chance, from Chatt? I knew a girl by that name many years ago. I know that isn't exactly a common name, so I just wondered.
