OH Juli

BG That's quite a story. OMG! JC You are doing great with your band! How's the fill? HP Thanks D I need to meet you! You laugh so much. Oh, and BG, Don't you hate dumbass people? It's like the suck the life out of the room just by stepping through the door. Happy Tuesday ya'll.

sbee, you'll be in bandland in less than 24 hours! Wooo Hoo!

I'll keep that in mind should it come up again. Okay, in a PM to D, I think I revealed and now understand my S___ aversion. I've spent more on the junk than I did on my car. Half of Zoe's DNA came from the bank and it took 19 tries to get her. Mind you half of the $500 monthly cost was for the procedure, but the other half went for the purchasing of the stuff. See how the fellas feel about someone else's junk touching them? Yeah, that's how I feel too.

I'm being overly dramatic, but really, I like fellas. We can talk and get along just dandy...but that s_____ word can make me gag like nothing else. I figure is D could ask for the conversation to end in regard to a ground up deli item, I might ask for the end of the s____ talk. I hope no one is offended.

Turner- Tough love time, sister. Where do Slim Fasts fit with banded life? You know you should be eating those calories and not drinking them. Are you tracking what you eat? How many calories are you sticking in your mouth? Do you really know or are you guessing? And move that body of yours to burn some calories but also to enjoy being in your skin. And Don't worry about what other people say. "That was unkind." is a fun thing to say to a bitch. Or, "Did you mean to be unkind, or am I just being thin skinned?" is another fun thing. You have the band, just by nature of being on your tummy you have some restriction, you really do. Try following the rules and really try feeling the differences when you eat solid food and when you do not. You'll be successful! You will!

We can stop talking about sperm? REALLY. I'm glad you all are getting it the way that works for you...but egad... gack...

OOH LA LA. Scrubs and Crocks two sexy pieces of clothing that are exponetially sexier when worn together. Like stocking and heels....No really, I'm sure you're rocking the uniform better than anyone in the hospital! Stacy, I'm wishing we lived closer. Z and I've been invited to canoe this weekend...being hypothetical and all, if you were closer that would be such a cool activity for us and the girls. It's a kid focused group and it takes two adults in a boat... Alas :straight

Tammy J, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Onderland is Onderful!

scrubs=sexy???? Who knew? So long as you don't start singing, "I'm too sexy for my scrubs, too sexy for my scrubs...."

Sending you JUJU!

Deanna, You need to get your nose out of the books and post here. Where are you???

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f90/marchies-october-42119/#post578551 Jump over to our new October thread! Juli

Keeping with the monthly jump, here is our October 2007 thread. We are all entering out 7th month. Let's keep the motivation and conversation flowing! I love my Marchie folks! Juli

You look amazing. I love the cheek bones, collar bones, and you're all curvy! woo hoo! Thanks for the inspiriation.

Well, the good thing is you want to change and realize you need to. So, if you've not peeled back the stuff in you brain about why you eat how you eat this would be the time to call a therapist. Get back to bandster basics. See what Boo Boo said. Don't kick your ass too hard, the difference between now and two years ago is a few pounds. It's your life, dig a little deeper and live it the way you deserve to live. That's with you in control!

It might take longer for the food to come up, like in the past I'd throw up a bit after realizing I was nausiated (sp) now it's like it has to bubble and brew for a few hours. Then, violently the contents of my stomach (below the band) come up. Really, your body will take care of business.

Caresa Have you seen before and after pics of women with 'back'? You can see such a difference, but they keep the cute roundness. I on the other hand havenoassatall. You'll be looking super fine shortly. J

JC, So how many emails were waiting for you? Happy Monday ya'll.

I want butt implants too!

Woo hoo on the jeans. Boo hoo for your daughter. I know they do the band on people as young as 16 and I think 18 is the more common age. It's certainly something to think about and your a good resource as far as how it really impacts ones life. Keep us posted about her. Juli

Anyone got anything fun planned for the up coming week?

That is awesome. What a great job.

You call me, you still have my number, right?

I got my ride in. 32 miles under my belt. My restriction is messed up. Or I'm making dumb ass choices, hard to believe. I wanted sushi so badly after the ride, I went the restuarant, ordered at a few rolls and knew the nori, wrapper part, got stuck. I puked in the car the 20 minute ride home. This morning egg beaters had me PBing too. WTF? I can eat crackers and Cookies, but not good for me stuff. I know it's the texture, not the good verses bad thing...but still. Puking in the car is not a fun experience. Off to read three chapters...........ugh

Pamela Thanks for all the boobies!!!! We need to make a phone date and catch up! How's Wed or Thurs look for you super busy schedule? :rose:
