OH Juli

Another thing...After I whined and kicked and cried about having to wait all that time, and I did do all of the above, I thought, "How can I use this time productively?" My answer was to start seeing a therapist about my food issues. She's been an amazing part of this journey. You might consdier ways to make the best use of this time as well, I mean it's still a life and there it doesn't start with surgery or at goal or at any time other than when we are born, so be positive and think about what steps you can take to make the transition to banded life as smooth as possible. Keep us posted!

Lilnora, Where are you getting banded?

Samie You'll find that your situation is similar to many of us on here. It's exactly like mine. The 5 years, plus 6 mos, sleep studies, psych evals...you'll get it done. As for the being followed for a story that sounds cool. But yeah, sounds like you're going to be a living ad for the practice, I'd want some money. Don't stress, you'll it done...

Hi. Like I said from the cycling thread that I wanted to know more about your situation...Hope you write more. Juli

Hi Panda! Cycling is great isn't it? What's your situation? I'm looking at your dates and so forth and looks like you've had some trials. I'm going over to your blog....

Thanks, Thinner! I'm pretty stoked for the ride. Niki, let's get together regardless. We can have lunch or something. Which is really funny two LBTers together. REALLY, it's a riot, because NO one understands like a fellow bandster. I can't make the meeting but I want to touch base with other people too.

BG and I swap about 4 to 10 emails daily on our work accounts. shhhhh don't tell our supervisors. I'm all down for elder porn, I mean if it gets you where you need to go. You know the actors are of age, unquestioned.

Mary The hardest part seems to be whatever I have to do at the moment. Like waiting was so hard while I was doing it. But in hind sight time passed and I got the band. Recovering from the surger was tough... Right now, I'm struggling with keeping my mojo running. It's such a long process, losing weight, it's hard to keep it fresh, and I don't know that keeping it fresh is the right way of thinking about it. Because if that's my expectation, it's just not going to happen...so I'm trying to process what I should be thinking, feeling, doing a year out and still nearly a year from goal.... Thanks for the props though. The band is amazing and so very helpful. And even while I sit here pondering my navel and the band, it keeps me from gaining. You say you are 3 months out. You have a date?

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD You are nearly at 100 pounds! OMG! And boo about the fill, but yeah everything is looking good. Behaving is hard to do.

Yeah, I don't think we've talked porn on here. No time like the present, eh? It's a good thing a moderator is one of own, we'd kicked off LBT in a minute. BG, I'm not @ work til 11.

Gwen, Good to know you found out the culprit to your issues. Sorry though that you have to give up hot food. Well maybe just eat it every now and then. You must like it HOT, omg! I'm going in for fill June 2. The next available appt. my doctor had. Isn't that crazy, nearly a month! It will be my 4th fill. I need it though. I went for Mexican food and ate nearly my entire big ol plate of tamales and enchiladas. I had a few chips while waiting too. Now that's tooooooooooo much food for anyone, let alone a lap banded person!

I'm here too. Just living life and moving along.... I've got nothing particularly "gay" to chat about. I'm certainly interested in the progress of my fellow LBGT folks, but we are particularly quiet. Herumph!

Good porn is an oxymoron...Like jumbo shrimp

HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No! Damn Kids. I completely understand. We'll miss you on the ride though. Well Chica, find us a ride closer to home and lets see if we can make that happen in July or Aug??? B, You do miss all the fun. hehehe

Custom Cycling Jerseys by Atac Sportswear is a cool sight.

What's funny is that we tried to have them change it last summer and we were ignored. But now I so identify with bycyling. Custom sublimated cycling jerseys are pricy, but I'd buy one, when I get to goal. Sublimated is where the pattern is dyed into the cloth, like most jerseys not just silk screened onto it. I looked into them for the WOW group last fall.

Carol our thread is bycyling. Not B I C Y C L I N G as it should be because the initial poster was a goon. Anyway, try saying it. By Sigh Ling or BIC-why-ling? Is that what you are missing. I was just rambling Or was it the whole V jay, jay conversation....?

I think we need to get shirts that say BYCY...I've been calling it the bye sigh thread....

In my circle we call that "packing". New Bycyling lows are being achieved.

And FUPA= fouled up private area...or effed up P action...

Hi I posted a link back to April's thread. I got to thinking I'd not heard from my Marchies... Silliness. I tell you, my focus is waining. What's a girl to do? I'm hoping to get my mojo back by joining a NEW gym next week. I'm doing my first century -100 miles- bicycle ride this weekend. You'd think I'd be losing weight but I'm putting the calories in just as fast as I burn them! I've got to get back to low calorie eating. Here's to Summer and fresh fruit and fish on the grill!

Ohio? Where in Ohio? I'm in Columbus. I know what you mean about eating at night and the heavy duty calorie stuff too. I have to keep it out of the house or I eat it. I can stay away for a few days then I cave. It's just torture, better to not have it in the house at all. Hope the tips above give you some hope. They are helping me too. Just love LBT!

That's all I'm saying

I'm logged in for my class stuff but we have a minute to go. Nervous energy. Frankin Hooker was a campy movie from the 80's A pannis is what you get from too many paninis...It's redundant tummy skin, or nicely called the apron o' skin. The mons gets fatty when you are SMO so it's gets all stretched out too. OH LA LA...sexy fine. on to school work!!!!!!!!
