You've done MAGNIFICENTLY Carol....it really blows me away!!! :clap2: :clap2:

Well done everyone!!! :clap2: :clap2:

*LOL @ Green's post*

Good thread Cloe. No comment other than yep...I agree it is fickle. But I do need another fill (12 Jan!) but I haven't had one since Aug! When y'all figure out how this fickleness works.....call me!

Hey Doriana, the band isn't "working" until you have a fill....so don't beat yourself up about how much you "CAN" eat until you have a fill. (but remember, just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should")....and don't forget, the first one or two fills may not even do the trick...it won't "work" until you are at proper restriction.....then you will realllly notice a difference and see the results....so you must still be patient for awhile yet. Re. the drinking thing....practice it now. The reason not to drink is because it washes/rinses the food down easily so it doesn't stay in the puch (ie. giving you the full feeling). From a number or posts throughout this site though (not just the Canadian one) you'll see that not everyone follows the "no drinking" rule religiously.....but according to Dr's orders....it is a plus and you should do so!!! Keep at it!

ahem, ahem....Canadians here!!! Yeeeesh!!!

could be anything; likely unrelated to the band....but if you are concerned, call your doctor!

Okay, I'll date myself....I had posters of Andy Gibb and the Dukes of Hazard boys up on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager!!! Oh yea, and Starsky!!! (god, what WAS I thinking!!?)

eeeerrrr....the 100lb mark Argon? Migawd, I HOPE that was a typo!:phanvan

Ditto the above!!! Welcome to Canuck world!

Yes, and I'm sure Mr Cloe will be quite relieved that his isn't the only testosterone getting harrassed!!!

*Yoda in Trenchcoat*....on street corner.....spies lil' kid.... psssssssssst, hey lil' kid.....do ya wanna buy a hit of flavour spray? Just a toonie per hit.....nobody has to know....*opens trenchcoat to display an amazing selection of flavour spray product*...

LMAO @ Mookie.... OKAY...yes, I recall that Seinfeld nipple episode quite well; one of the classics!!! I'm glad that the double entendre was not lost on you Mookie....tho I'm ashamed to say that it WAS lost on me until you pointed it out!!! I shall be more alert from now on.....imagine what I can do if I actually THINK about it!! Scary! Possum 1 and Possum 2.....hmmmmm...I like it!!!! (as long as they don't play dead and hang down too low!!). :bananapartyhat:

Well done Bandiva!!!!!:bananapartyhat:

Lots of good advice here so I won't add any. Just wanted to say..."take care Lila!!!" :bananapartyhat:

Nope...the bro-in-law is Mr Yoda's brother. Yes, he is married and his wife didn't seem to notice her hubby ogling because SHE was too busy probably trying to figure out if I had a boob job done!!!! LMAO!!!! Don't fret Cloe...popping one chocolate every other hour is most likely a GREAT improvement....n'est pas??!!!!

no worries Gaffer...I have yet to "meet" one person pre-banded who did the exact same thing!!! I lost track of how many "Spicy perogy" "last" pizzas I had at Boston Pizza!

Hey, I thought I was the only one who danced to the BeeGees!!! Are you sure you aren't my twin?!! :phanvan

AHA!!!! I'm back from Boxing Day at the Out-laws and I've survived!!! Mwwwaaaaaaaaaa (though a lil' more insane than at what I orginally started). Ya gotta wonder about the gene pool, though....I must have got the gem in Mr Yoda!!! My eating went well...nobody noticed that it took me forever and that I hardly put food on my plate and didn't even finish what I did take. I did have a chocolate covered almond and just about PBd though.....but I did well (by the way, they don't know about the surgery...and never will.....MMMMmmmwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!). Okay, so I've seen them since I've lost weight...and nary a word nor a breath....I guess 55 lbs wasn't noticeable? So, (now I'm at 60 down)....I walk in and right away, my bro-in-law says, "hey Yoda" (okay, he doesn't actually call me Yoda....but you get the drift!) He says, "hey, you've lost a lot of weight". I say, (nonchalantly, of course)...."Hmmmm? Oh ...yeah, a little". And nobody else said a word.....zip. Mr Yoda says that Bro-in-law likely noticed because my boobs were sticking out so much.....and everything looked in proportion. I MUST admit though, I did look good (& for me to actually SAY that, I must have!!!) ....I wore a realllly slinky top with an amazingly magic push up bra underneath it (man, those babies were so padded & uplifted a half ton truck could hit 'em and they wouldn't feel it!)......so, I had this quite amazing cleavage going on. :heh: heheheheheheehe. Bro-in-laws eyes were bugged out the whole time...and I must say I milked it!!!!! (sooooo unlike me!). Anyways, I actually FELT slim....so that was nice....and I KNOW the others must have noticed (especially after he said something). Still odd how they don't mention it. Anyways....all in all...not a bad day/evening....could've been better but could've been worse too.....so no real complaints. I'm just glad we don't live much closer!!! Another Xmas with the out-laws over and done with and I've lived to tell the tale!!!

Mmmmmmmmm awesome escargots and bacon wrapped scallops at the Keg! Sounds like it was a good "last meal" Mookie!

AHEM....AHEM.... ummmmm Cloe....my friend, you forgot to mention the time you did a mega slime on the school bus!!! LMAO!!!!! I'm like Mandi....most times (though not all) I can hold it until I can get somewhere safe. Mind you, only twice has it happened to me outside of my home.....once in car (oh yeah, and if you spit out the window, keep in mind the wind will merely whip it right back in at ya all over you...*sigh*....). :nervous

*Yoda stabs a kraft dinner noodle with a chopstick*... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm KD!!! :hungry:

Hey Mandi....I'm glad to hear u got some great reactions....especially from your folks! ...and size 14s, 16s....WHOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Keep us posted on the bar night!! LOL.... You know, we ARE living vicariously through you!! heeh!

Everyone is different. Some would be fine, some wouldn't. I agree with Jack...you may "be able" to do it but you may not "want to". LOL....that would likely have been my issue. Just pass me the demerol and let me lie down in peace....that was my motto! But yeah, I can see why you don't want to pass up the opportunity.....the best thing would have been to go a day or two earlier and do the Falls thing before the surgery day.... Either way...good luck....you really won't know how you feel until you are feelin' it!

Shopping on Boxing Day? Yup, you ARE crazy!!! :biggrin1: Glad the lil' guy enjoyed the light sabre!! He'll remember it always!!! I won't tell Mr Yoda or he'll be very very very jealous!!! Glad u enjoyed your Xmas dinner. I did too. Off to the in-laws tomorrow.....eeep. Wish me luck!
