  1. May 11 is no good for me. I'll jump in next month.
  2. I'm down three pounds for the week.
  3. Just the image that's stuck in my head.
  4. How about "should of" instead of "should have".
  5. Fill went great. I have 4.6 in a 10cc band.
  6. My fill went fine...no problems at all. It didn't hurt either. While I immediately had some restriction with the fill, I think it really kicked in last night (a week later). I've read that other people sometimes experience that. Not complaining. Still able to eat, but not much.
  7. OMG that is hilarious and a little disturbing because that's how I pictured her when I saw her preaching in another thread!
  8. I'm a March 19th-er too. I had my first fill last week. Go to your User CP and find "edit avitar" to change your picture. Click on anyone's ticker and it will take you to the website you need, to create your own. Good luck.
  9. Welcome Diane! Congratulations on getting the band. Good luck!
  10. I'm sure I will spend too much money trying to feed you two. I have to eat too. How about, "wear, were, where". They are not interchangable. Ooh, I hate, "I have three brother-in-laws." It's brothers-in-law. I thought I was the only pain in the ass that was annoyed by this.
  11. Hi Amlus. I was a self-pay. Jump on a cheap Southwest Airlines flight to Denver and you can pay $9950 which includes everything, including your first three fills. After that, fills are only $15.
  12. Just got my first fill today! I'm happy to have some restriction.
  13. I LOVE that stuff. I mix it with Water, a scoop of Fiber, and ice in a magic bullet and it's delicious. I've only tried the banana, but I plan on trying the strawberry next. Also, GNC has a very generous return policy. If you don't like the Protein powder, they'll take it back and give you a full refund.
  14. I went to Disneyland and ate like a normal person. +1 for me, but I get my first fill tomorrow. I think the only reason I didn't gain more is because of all the walking I did.
  15. You could be a motivational speaker! Or one of those coaches at half-time you see in the movies, where the team pulls it together for the win.
  16. Hi Rannah. I used to live in Grand Junction. My family owned the McDonald's that used to be on North Ave across from Wienerschnitzel. Hey, we owned a McDonald's...I'm beginning to sense a connection as to why I needed the band. Hmmm lol
  17. Check out my hot new avitar! I thought the old one was too frumpy. This is what I hope to end up looking like.
  18. $9950 in Denver. Includes everything. Good luck.
  19. It's alright. I'm eating lots of protein and fruits and veggies. Being very good. I'm not hungry because of all the protein. I'm at a stand-still with the weight loss, but I know this is temporary. Looking forward to my fill.
  20. I'm going to Disneyland on Wednesday. This will be my first Disney experience, besides visits to the Disney Store. I'm hoping I fit on all the rides. Wish me luck.
  21. Doing very well. I feel totally fine. Chowing on protein so I stay full longer. REALLY excited to get my first fill on April 21.
  22. Hi Playcallie. I too was banded on March 19th. Best of luck to you.
  23. Exactly how I feel about your version of god. The vengeful, spiteful, and self-adoring version you promote is a god I am not interested in knowing. Your constant, hard-sell preaching is having what I believe is the opposite effect that you desire. You are turning people away from god. While you may have good intentions, you come off as pushy and self righteous. And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, god commands you to share the good news...I don't think he wants you to cram it down people's throat.
