It's really going up. I thought earlier today it was about 120-something. And I too heard about the suspected arson. I hope, if it's true, they throw the book at whoever did it.

No wine, just diet green tea with ginseng now. In all honesty, the mob thing could have been operator error on my part. I haven't been on FB too much simply because to navigate it almost takes a picture map and pin chart. I'm somewhat savvy on most computer things, but FB, I think, is harder for me simply because of the overload of all the stuff.

Yes I did! I accepted all the ones I had, ah swears it! I did it last weekend and accepted about 4-5 of them, including yours -- BOTH of yours... lol *pout*

Bummer... I thought it was pretty good if I do say so mahself.

LOL, and so you did! Hope it helps. Hell, I may need to remember it one day too.

You're not the only one, trust me. I prefer WoW where I can kill stuff.

I'm off the hook, right? I joined.

No, a little cheating is not probably okay. There is a reason for the rules. Also, never forget a little cheating here and a little cheating there is what got us to this point. The two-week pre-op diet is only the beginning. It's not as if your life will miraculously change the day of your surgery. You may as well start to learn now how to adhere to a regimen that is required by your doctor if you want to succeed. If not, then keep doing what we've always been doing.

Mine gave me two or three sheets of pictures with about four pictures each sheet during the operation. I also got to see my hiatal hernia before and after he fixed it. It's way cool. If I still had my gall bladder, they say that looks really neat -- robin's egg blue.

I guess I'm naive or lacking cognitive reasoning in this area, but I just don't get how some people are wired. Somebody makes the choice to have an affair -- not even a one-night stand, or several one-night stands, but an affair, a relationship -- and then can't understand why somebody else can't forgive and forget. The victim had no choice or say in the matter, the kids sure don't have a say, but the other person makes a conscious choice to do such a thing and expects what? That things will be better? Go back to normal? Be forgotten?? When you make a choice to pull down your pants and have sexual relations with another, and worse yet, to carry on this affair/relationship, you have made your choice. I'm not saying he totally falls into this category, but it seems to be the way it goes a lot. I wanted to say to run like hell when you were going to work it out, but it's not my life, and all I could do was support whatever you felt was best. And now I support you moving on without him.

He's in denial and simply thinking that you are upset and will get over it if he "plays nice." Definitely make sure that is what is discussed in counseling. Maybe that will help it sink in.

I do 99 percent of the stuff on my own. I'm used to regular PC games where you play by yourself, so I do most stuff myself on this game. It's rare that I meet up with others and do raids or anything else. When a quest comes up that calls for a group, I usually don't even accept them. That way I'm "beholden to none."

Then I guess you have the answers. Good luck.

Just remember that ANY weight lost during the first 6 weeks or so after surgery is bonus weight lost since this is a time of healing where no weight loss is expected. So technically you're ahead of the game.

If you don't get this rectified NOW, your chances of succeeding with the band are slim to none. Eating an egg white was one thing, but now you're on to cheeseburgers??? You need to know, your life won't change JUST because of the band. I'm afraid you think that once you are banded, all your work is over. It is only beginning. Maybe the band is not for you. You have to be very dedicated to have it, and maybe you just aren't there.

I guess it depends on the people. Like I said, I hadn't touched it in weeks before this weekend. Other times I have spent an entire Saturday or Sunday playing. Here lately I've been making sure to get in exercise of more than just my fingers. :thumbdown:

It'll get better. I got my band 11/21 and will be getting my third fill on 2/16. After my second fill I felt -- well, more satisfied than full, and for longer between meals. Now I'm almost back to a bit of willpower again. If you're getting stuck, though, I would either pay attention to what you're eating or HOW you're eating it. Are the bites very small? Are you eating things that tend to get stuck like broccoli or asparagus? I find if I eat slightly overcooked pork, I get stuck a bit. And when I eat asparagus, I cut it up into bite-sized pieces.

Ditto! :thumbdown:

Guess that makes DH a WoW widower. I've tried to get him involved and he just won't. I guess he figures it keeps me from doing online shopping, so he's pretty cool about it. :thumbdown:

OoooOOOOoohhhh, good thinkin'. Wait -- there's a first page to this thing? :thumbdown:

Yeah, I'm lost too. However, SnT seems to think she got it... :thumbdown:

Oh, it will definitely do that! I had weekend nights that I was up to 3 or 4am just getting this "one more thing done." lol When I have school, especially a heavier load, I have to temper it more, but this weekend I got back on after not having played for about 3 weeks or more. Trying to get to level 70 (I'm nearly a 68 with my main character) so that I can get a flying mount. TOO COOL! Okay, I admit it, I'm a game nerd. :thumbdown:

Omg, too funny! I mean, it's not, but... it so is. :thumbdown:

I'm ultramulti-tasking. I'm watching Lord of the Rings, playing World of Warcraft, and reading e-mails and Lapband. lol

:thumbup: I have an idea: Take some of your pain meds and try to find some old Monty Python's shows. :thumbup:
