*slim*

Thanks Kat. I am sipping hot sf lemonade right now. I will keep a watch on it.

Kat-I will be thinking of you and your family. I know that has to be stressful for you all. Beth-I can come and sneeze on you. I think that would cure your hunger. I didn't really want to eat lunch, and it is worse now. My head is full of...well I won't say it's full of that, but it IS full of something other than my brain right now. I know that my sinuses are draining and it is filling my pouch. That is an awful feeling. I just feel full. ***shuddering at the thought***

I hope that all is ok with your DD.

The way PG talks, you would think that God was connected via an umbilical cord or something.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that was your initials. I try not to comment on the actual threads because I am not really a debater. Those posts just seem to just be...out there.

I just have to know, is PG for real? I mean, some of the things that are said just seem so...far out there to be real. Ebony-We can be there in spirit.

hmmm...going to check out RNR threads for a good chuckle.

Maybe today was meant to be a goof off day? Ok, maybe not. It sure sounded good though. Morning all!

Did I mention that I am typing on Nyquil? I need another dose.

Come on people. We have to get off this page!

Nope. I didn't make it either.

Ok, so I noticed it too. Let see if I make it to 667.

Hell yeah! As long as you chew it really well and wash it down with a couple two liter diet cokes, it will all be fine. I did it and all was A-O-K.:rose:

I hope that you feel better soon.

I don't have stomach flu, but just shoot me now. I have some kind of crud. This is day two. Yesterday my head felt like it was full of cotton. Today I have added sneezing, a sore throat, and stuffy nose to the cotton filled head. I just feel like crap right now. I apologize right now, but I just felt like whining for a moment.

That was strange. I hope for you that it doesn't happen again. Ebony-good luck with the fill. Hopefully, it will build enough on the last one to help with the hunger.

To sort of answer your question about fills, you really need to start checking with the doctors in your area to find out if they will accept patients banded by someone else. Some doctors will, but they may require a lot from you (money wise or medical records). It is best to find that information out now before banding. You may also find out if there are fill centers in your area. I know that isn't specific, but each doctor's office handles that situation differently. As far as your BMI, most doctors and insurance only count your BMI at the start. So if your BMI was 38 at your consult, that is usually the BMI used for insurance purposes, but to find out for sure, ask your doctor's office. Good luck to you!

You are doing so great! Wow! A size 8? I haven't seen that size since college! You go girl!

yay! :thumbup:

Yay you on your weight loss! I think that we all should Celebrate our victories. We have come so far. Congrats to us all!

Mac-I like your new avi. I love your bike. When I grow up, I want a bike just like yours. ) I did order myself an exercise bike to get me started. I am not an outdoor person, but I remember loving bike riding as a kid. I am hoping the love comes back to me because I am not exercising as much as I need to be to get more of this weight off.

I have BCBSIL and my appointments were with my PCP. They were never about my weight. They were about something else, but my weight was always discussed. That information, which included my diet plan and exercise plan, was sent in with my information from my surgeon's office. They were six months in a row.

It sounds like everyone had a really nice valentine's day (even Donna with the busted lip:wink2:). We include my son in whatever we are doing, but since I had to work and be on call, that wasn't much. I cooked them breakfast before I left for work. They fixed my dinner and gave me candy (dark chocolate that I hate). It really is a good thing that they gave me candy that I don't like because I would have eaten it all. All in all, it was still a good day. They did all of the things I wanted done without me asking (thank goodness for holidays). I hope that everyone is having a pleasant Sunday.

I completely understand. If you think about it, part of the reason we all got to be the way we were was not being selfish and taking care of ourselves. You deserve to be a little selfish right now. I don't think there is anything wrong with your excitement about your weightloss. Keep up the good work and you will look awesome in those wedding photos!

Have a safe and relaxing trip. You deserve it.
