  1. OH MY GOD, I know the answer to this. The average person uses about 2lbs of Water while they sleep. Part of it is through constant evaportion from your skin and actually goes in to your matress and sheets. The other part is water vapor lost while you breath in and out. It is so wonderful to finally, know something. Well maybe?
  2. Whats the best thing to eat at Lucerne (the hotel before surgery)?
  3. Xanax? Just kidding!!!!! Well, I work in the yard a lot more then I was before?
  4. I think I'm the only lapbander who comes to this site regularly. So if you have any questions about lapband, just let me know. I'll give it to you straight, the good the bad, the ugly, the pretty??
  5. I don't think anything is really missing....but I don't look very well!!!!
  6. I wish so bad that I could run, but my knee is not able to handle it. I have to just walk, bike and swim.
  7. Ummmm...I think that is exactly what they are saying. Yes, it will burn calories while you are doing it, but no, it really doesn't have a significant effect on what you burn when you sit your ass back down on the couch. You are a great example, you do lots of it, but most people don't, but expect it to somehow keep burning more then it really does.
  8. I'm loosing very well....LOL
  9. Pee clear, pee free.....peer's unite!!!!! That is a great sign.
  10. But the band is less invasive.....LOL
  11. We watch an episode almost every night before we go to bed. It is kind of a ritual thing before we Kel Nor Reem. That is Jaffa for (sleep/meditation). It helps us to get to sleep Kreeee (now or quickly)
  12. Ok, horrible, but true, if you put on a nicotine patch or gum, it will make you dump Water and make other things happen for sure. Warning Nicotine is addictive!!!
  13. OH MY GOD....great study, great post!!!
  14. Were going AA on Saturday. From Des Moines, to Dallas then San Diego. On the way back it goes through St. Louis. That is the best I could do out of Des Moines.
  15. I am so sorry. I apologize to anyone who may have been offended. And to anyone who is researching band versus sleeve....you are so very welcome.
  16. You tell people to back off, and then procede in the same tone and nature....hypocrite.:thumbup:
  17. Nah, she isn't rude, she just disagrees with they way you post things, like they are fact, that aren't really facts. You spew marketing BS, like it is real, and you act like a victom every time someone corrects you on stuff you post that isn't accurate. Get over it. And I was nice about this twice before in earlier posts. But, frankly, I'm not being nice right now, because of I'm sick of it!!!! You keep posting incorrect or biased BS, and I will keep correcting you, and yes, I will get meaner and meaner about it. How dare you tell anyone they are or are not welcome here, who do you think you are?
  18. I own them all!!!! Including the original movie and the two sequal movies. I once bid 3000 dollars for a chance for my wife to have lunch on set with Richard Dean Anderson, while making this last movie. I lost. It went for 33000 dollars!!!!! I also own the Wizard of Oz painting that was above the directors desk for 10 years. Ok, and I own a couple of props from the filming of the series, a zatnicatil and a gun from the Wormhole Xtreme episode. I won't say what they cost, too embarrassing.
  19. Oh crap, I never scroll down that far!!!! LOL
  20. Ok, I just like being the first to post in a forum section. You guys are going to kill me!!!! Hey, on a totally, related subject, but not about religion....why don't we have sections on this forum for the non sleevers, like other WLS section, like they have on the other forum? I would rather ask questions here then the other place.
  21. Hey, just wanted to let anyone know who is a fan. The third and probably last movie sequel from the series is being completed. I can't wait!!! Ok, this isn't really a religious thing, unless you a geek, like myself and my wife. I AM JAFFA!!!!! Sorry, I was just bored. :lol0:
  22. I'm just wondering? 30 years ago? I wonder if maybe they had their stomach stapled? I think that was common 30 years ago? This may explain, the person wondering if they can be revised? I know one person who had a stomach stapling about 30 years ago, and of course it streched back out, they didn't realize back then, that it wouldn't work long term because of stretching. If this is the case, they maybe could be converted to sleeve? Or maybe converted to DS?
  23. Nope, I'm confused?? But, I agree maybe someone more experienced will understand?
  24. I have this problem big time in general. If I eat any soup that is not low sodium, I gain about 3lbs of Water. Soup at most any place you eat out at, will be LOADED. Bad news, it seems to only go away by about a half a pound a day. I avoid sodium as much as possible. If I eat something with a lot of sodium, I avoid the scale. It is the only way to sanity.
  25. It will go away. Usually, at about 6 months, you will notice the same questions and same things being posted, and you will tire of reading the same things.
