  1. I was always bothered by this too. Weigh yourself at the same time every day like someone said earlier. I personally weight myself right when I wake up and directly after I pee. best time because you have not eaten or drank anything so it is all you.
  2. This is probably going to offend some people (doesn't seem that hard to offend people on here to be honest with you) but, do words that people online say really hurt you that much??? ( I don't mean you as in anyone in particular either, just in general). If someone is "harassing" me or calling me names to my face I just wouldn't go where they were or go near them. Same here, just don't open it if it bothers you. I know it has been said over and over, but can it get any more simpler?
  3. I agree with this. I don't think it should be locked unless it is in an inappropriate spot.
  4. GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK. :gluck:
  5. I just didn't have enough guts to ask. I thought everyone knew but me.
  6. Alright!!! Here we go again. LOVE IT! :huggie:
  7. I had surgery by Dr. Watson too! He is the best. pain after surgery for me was very minimal. I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I didn't even need the pain medicine they gave me after the first two days.
  8. I'm just wondering.... do you mean your actual family when you say christian family or do you mean your church family?
  9. When I am reaching the "BIG O" I usually shout the following: OH PERSON WHO DOES NOT EXIST IN PLACE THAT DOES NOT EXIST, OR MAYBE I'M WRONG BUT JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET, OR IT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE TOO LATE BUT THIS FEELS REAL GOOD, COULD THIS BE WHAT THAT FICTIONAL PLACE IS REALLY ABOUT, OH! Just kidding. hmmmm. wonder why I can't keep a man. Does that seem to long and like a turn-off? LOL,
  10. I have a 10cm band which holds 4cc. When I asked my doc a few weeks ago how much a 10 cm band holds, he said they are a 4cc band but he often puts 5 cc in them. I asked if that made them at risk for popping and he laughed and said no. Why don't they just call it a 5cc band then???
  11. I didn't want ANYONE to know before my surgery but now that I have had it, I tell people if it comes up in conversation or if people ask me why I was gone I just say I had stomach surgery and people usually drop it at that. If someone asks me if I had WLS I won't lie, but I am the only girl on my crew and work at a gold mine so most men have been married long enough to know not to ask a woman ANYTHING that has to do with their weight.
  12. SAME HERE. anything high in carbs makes me gain immediately.
  13. Here you go Virginia. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134407&cp&change_search=products&keywords=isopure&y=0&searchId=10497269808&x=0&parentPage=search&CID=
  14. I got it at GNC. It is called zero carb ISOPURE. YOu mix two scoops with 12 ozs of water. 210 calories, 0 carbs. 50 or 52 g. of protien. lots of flavors too.
  15. I am 4 weeks post op and I'm eating lots of tunafish mixed with no fat mayo. And I'm also eating mashed turnips,salad, lots of broccoli steamed with salt. And drinking 4 qts water a day. Also drinking two protein drinks a day with 50 g of protien per drink.
  16. Yeah, shoes fly out the front door if they are not put away in my house. Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall. Doesn't matter.
  17. I think pureed food is anything you can suck through a straw.
