LOL, Bravo, very funny, cute.

*bump*.....................................

I feel ya too. Delarla definitely seems the "coolest" and most honest. I replied in two other posts that all of those heigers should be banned if she is. Anyone that kept it going should get "punished" like her. Otherwise it seems like a popularity content and they can bully anyone and get anyone banned. It's a c-o-nspiricy, lol - Anyways life is too short and I have devoted more time to this then I wanted to.

LOL, I mean really Drew - in the grand scheme of what is going on in this world: Hurricane Katrina disaster Global Warming Racism AIDS Why are these losers battling out on a web board? I just come in here to get answers to question and to get motivation and what not. I could care less about peoples "personal" issues.

as a completely impartial observer of the last few days. everyone should be banned that participated in childish, mud slinging, demeaning behavior. i don't know any of these women or men but they really, really need to get a life and worry about their health and not who can come up with a fancy retort on the board. it's very disheartening, counter productive, negative and a very poor example of what this board is for - this is coming from a newbie. i no longer ever want to see another post from any of those women involved.

Please ban everyone, it's only fair. I don't know any of these ladies but if you ban Fitter, you MUST ban Photo Nut or whatever the hell her name is. She must go too. She is not innoncent and she has done nothing but fuel the fire IMHO. This isn't a popularity contest, you have rules for this board now live by them please.

OMG - I dip and dabble in this board and I read these threads where members are attacking each other, WTF? Are y'all in high school? Are you STILL the ugly fat chick inside who is bitter and wants to put everyone down? The one that has no life and no friends? I feel sorry for you people. Live and let live buddies - Geez, my life is sooo full I can't even imagine spending the time on here that these internet geeks due to INSULT others. In fact, this just baffled me so much that I decided to write this post taking up my VALUABLE time. Don't you guys have like kids, hobbies, outside interests? That is hysterical. If someone said something about me I might respond I might not...I really don't care - this is an Internet "persona" and we are here to get tips and support each other with the weight loss journal. Everyone has an opinion and are entitled to it. I really don't care who's right, who's wrong, why do you? Ghetto, white trash losers who spend all their free time on a computer instead of getting off their asses and doing something productive. I don't care if you drink, shoot up, whatever, we ALL have our own issues. But, if you want to talk about your experiences and support others then let's do the damn thing. I have posted before here about my problems with drugs and weight loss and anyone can talk about me cuz I PUT IT OUT THERE for support. If you put something out there, don't get mad if what you put out there comes back to you differently then you might have hoped. Really, you guys need to grow up, get a life, and help the newbies and help yourselves. Peace Out!

Hello, Thanks for replying. Yes, sounds like you went through EXACTLY what I am now experiencing. I am working out like crazy and still can't lose any weight! I looked again for the last few weeks and I'm eating closer to 1200 calories a day. I believe my body won't lose weight until I'm about 800 cal a day or less - which is why I need MORE RESTRICTION!

I have the VG 10 cc band. Just had 2nd fill and has slight restriction for about a week then it went away...going again on the 7th for another one. My Dr. refuses to give me any kind of aggresive fills. He says the more agressive the fill the more likely it is to slip from his experience. The last time I went he said he didn't pull barely any Fluid out from the 1st fill and I might have a leak!?! He said the original Dr. who put it in (Dr. Joya) may have punctured the band if I did have a leak. However, Dr. Joya's people are saying that would be impossible since they test everything during and after surgery to make sure the product is not defective and nothing is leaking out. They are saying that since my Dr. does not use fluro (Dr. Billy) that perhaps HE put a hole in the band if there is one. I am so confused...At $175 a pop I am wondering if I should just go to Puerto Vallarta for a fill under fluro since they are free for life? However, I want to believe my Dr. because everyone says he is so good and he certainly seems to be very educated and well liked and spends plenty of time talking to me when I go in....I also love that he is in the US and only 10 minutes from my home. I'm also very luck that he will take patients from Mexico. Any suggestions? I am so discouraged because I'm gaining back original weight I lost and I think I am only down about 10 lbs now since surgery back in June with the recent weight gain! Oh, I do exercise 3 + days a week at Curves and log everything I eat at fitday.com and I'm averaging about 900 - 1300 calories a day. I drink a ton of Water and my fit day calculations I am burning about 2000 calories more a day then I am taking in. I guess I need a fill to take my calorie intake anymore. Oh and no I am not losing inches either.

That's exactly what I do. Just enough to help the food not get stuck.

Wow, that was extreme! Hmmm, how long before your gonna want a weave? I wear one sometimes and my hair is past my shoulders - You look BEAUTIFUL AND AS FIERCE AS EVER with your buzzed hair. I would luck sooo icky. I will just have to get a great weave or wear a wig if my ish starts to go. You actually can try out some really cute hair styles as your hair grows. Finger Waves, The "halle", dreads, spikes, gelled down, ummm...experiment with color. Wear cute barettes, scarfs, hats, etc.

Woo Ha! Ding, Ding, Ding! - I can only eat small meals and I am full - THIS is what having a Lap Band is about. Wow! I like:p

I have been through many earthquakes living in Southern California. Last big one I remember was the one in San Fernando Valley, I was 2 hours north but felt it BIG time and had no electricity for 1 or 2 days ( a long time ago)

YES, absolutely! In fact, mine are about once a year. No one can explain it that I have asked (dr's.) I thought perhaps some of the stones slipped through the gb and were floating around making me sick at times. In fact, I was hospitalized about 3 mo's after original surgery almost 10 years ago with the SAME EXACT pains. They rushed me in and stuck this tube down my throat and sucked more out that had passed through GB. I think more are in there....

Got fill yesterday and the Dr. told me that he is concerned because when he went to give me fill in my band he only pulled out a very small amount of previous fill of 1.5 cc. When he gave me that one, he said it was bone dry. He gave me 2 cc and told me he thinks maybe I have a hole in my band that was punctured during surgery. When I go back in 4 weeks he wants to see how much is left in band from this fill so he can decide what to do next. Really hoping it's not a hole because then it will have to be replaced :mad: I had gained back 2 pounds since last time I got a fill so hopefully I will feel tighter this time.

I'm such a failure. Everyone has lost so much more then me. I have no restriction after 1 fill and can and will eat everything I can. I'm really bummed. I have stayed away from here out of shame and depression and I finally logged on again. I can eat 80% of what I did before. I go for a fill again tomorrow though.

I'm so sad. Life has so many obstacles. Sometimes I feel I just can't do it anymore. Why can't I be normal? I hate being bi-polar. I'm so up and down. Medicine makes me get fat which makes me sadder. Go for a fill tomorrow. Maybe I'll get restriction and it will make me feel better.

So do you think you can avoid a tummy tuck? I wonder cuz I have that same little pouch where everything else is pretty flat.

Bummer, I'll be there beginning of December, not New Years though. We'll be at Sandal's....BTW - My hubby is from the Boogy Down Bronx!

Yup, yup, Poodles...told my husband basically the same thing as you. He's more worried I will cheat though. His first marriage his wife cheated on him with his cousin/best friend. He was devastated and he was sooo faithful. He said he can't ever do that to someone else, it hurt too much. He thinks I'm gonna be way too fly when I lose all my weight and that I'm gonna find someone else. He met me when I was a size 14 and now I'm a size 16/18 so he is fine the way I am but understands I want to lose weight but he is so worried about me losing my T & A, lol! But no matter, what I always handle my biz in the bedroom because I don't ever want to give him a reason - should he feel so inclined. I am kind of worried about a midlife crisis though. He will be 40 in January and he looks 25. I've heard of men just going crazy at that mid-life time and I hope it doesn't happen. I kind of think he is going through one now cuz he is so into dressing young and hip-hopish. All he wears is BAPE, Sean John, Evisu, Timberland, etc. The TV's in his truck and all the BOOM, make me laugh so hard cuz I'm like deezamn, babe, when ya gonna act ur age. Is it necessary for everyone to hear your music too??? But, ya never know. I think most men ALL cheat and it's very rare that they don't. Hopefully, I found a rarity but you never can be too careful. I monitor closely his cell, text msgs, etc....(He don't know it, but I sure do). I will never, ever play the fool :confused:

I had a bite of some last night. My hubby makes the BEST homemade kind with sooo much cheese. It went down fine.

:kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: Kisses Niche! Thank you. Yeah, I'm one of those peeps that wears her heart on her sleeve. My friends are always telling me I am TOO honest. But, I can't lie and I can't act like someone I'm not. I can however, HIDE things I am ashamed of, like this little situation I'm dealing with. I not only love HIP HOP but I LOVE, LoVe, love, the 80's baby! I used to be so into depeche mode, the cure, etc. My first concert was New Order. My husband is always like, how do you go from Dead Prez to My Chemical Romance to Lenny Williams. Your iPod library is crazy! In fact, I used to dye my hair pink, black, white, you name it. My sense of what I like in fashion, music and people is very eclectic. I like people that aren't too boogie, and if they are, they have to know they are and be able to laugh at themselves because I will FOR sure make fun of them. One of my best friends is sooo loyal and I love her to death, but that girl cannot dress or get a good weave to save her life. But, she is soooo funny and so 'off' like me that we have been best friends since 12th grade. Then my other best friend is gorgeous, ex-model, ex-wife of a very famous r&B producer and guys drool all over her wherever we go and she really is a gold digger, but, she admits it and we laugh all the time and have grown so close since we met 3 years ago. In fact she's getting married in Jamaica where she's from in December and I'm gonna be in her wedding. I've never been to Jamaica and I'm so excited and really hope I get VERY thin b4 that. There I go rambling from one subject to another.....:help: :faint: :nervous :clap2:
