Mom? Mom?? Is that you?

I am so heartbroken. DD and grandbaby go home tomorrow morning, and I keep crying. Every time this gorgeous baby smiles at me (which is often), I just start bawling. How am I ever going to get myself together after these days with her? :tt2:

What do you think made up the bulk of our liquid diet?? :tongue2:

That's news to me!

OOOh, that's it! thanks, Brad! Though I have to admit, that's not where I found it. I promise. I don't think my genteel sensibilities could handle going into the men's room. :tongue:

LJM, step away from the urban dictionary. :confused:

Yes we did, thank goodness! It would have just been impossible with so many people in this house. He took it way better than I imagined. He said, "Hey, family is family." That made it easy.

Question: Monday (I think) there was some discussion on a thread somewhere (I've been searching and can't find where it is) about a book that was written by a guy (Dewey, I think) about lap band surgery that was touted as being pretty good. Anybody on here the author of that post who can tell me the name of the book and verify the author? I remember that the day I was being filled I had actually found ONE Barnes and Noble store that had the book, and it happened to be right by my fill doctor. However, in all the excitement, I completely forgot about it. Thanks!

Happy New Year, everybody! DD and grandbaby are still in bed. They had a loooong day yesterday. Got on a plane at 1:00 my time and didn't get in until 7:30! Baby did wonderful and slept through most of it. She is absolutely THE most happy, placid baby I have ever met -- and her mommy was pretty dang placid herself. I don't plan on letting her go back to Houston. :Yawn:

Awesome, Tap!!!

PJTP: Heading to the airport to pick up DD and meet my grandbaby!!! Bye!

I'm not at scale addict stage YET, but what I have found myself doing is weighing more than once at one time. I have a digital scale, and I can step on, get a number, step off, step back on again, and it's a different number. Usually a tad higher. :laugh: So now I go for best 2 out of 3 -- or 3 out of 5 -- or... or...

How can we help you make it more fun? Hell, I THRIVE on bed rest. Or at least couch rest. How do you think I got so big? :laugh:

Oh. OH!!! :laugh:

Lucky! I can't even SEE my feet.

Heck, I even changed mine! The one I had only reflected whole pounds, and dammit, I want those halves and partial pounds to count too. :laugh:

Oh WOW, g4e, that is FANTASTIC!!!! You updated your ticker with the new loss, right?? :wink2: I can hardly wait for my bandiversary so I can see how far I have come. I'm very excited now that I'm no the "weight loss" portion of my banding.

If I could touch my toes, I wouldn't have needed a lap-band. :wink2:

Hehehe, you too?? :wink2:

Learn from it, forgive yourself, and move on. :wink2: We spent waaaaay too many years beating ourselves up for falling off diets. Being that this is not a diet, you didn't do anything but prove you need an adjustment.

Too late... :wink2:

Oh wow, never mind! And Alaskan pipeline?? :wink2:

What the heck? I just learned a dutch oven is not what I thought it was. I guess I need to go see what an Eiffel Tower is now too. lol

Hehehehe...

See? I'm full of surprises. :wink2: Omg, too funny!!
