Boo Boo Kitty

Ok ya'll I got a fill yesterday and got an ear full as well about coffee and how by any means necessary I need to get off it....What do I do?? I havbe given up most everything in life that brought me pleasure, Coke, cake, chocolate, fast food. Where does it end?? I KNOW caffine can cause urges to make you hungry, but it is it going to hurt me otherwise??? Grr... this is enough to make me give up on the band, and WHY DID THEY NOT TELL ME 7 MONTHS AGO???

Hello fellow MI banders. I was banded August 1st by Dr. Farhan of Hurley in Flint... Loving it!! I live in Jackson... nice to meet all of you!

Does not sound good at all....have you tried a carbonated drink? Always works for me.

I agree that no bread is good! I can no longer do it, and I am getting over it now. I also can not do rice and pasta.....I am better off for it! You will be too.

NAT!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for making me wish even more I lived anywhere but here! lol.... I hope you enjoy it, you will miss the big storm of tonight! I went shopping yesterday at Lane Bryants. I got 1 Jacket for business and 6 shirts with it for undr $60 bucks. I had a coupon for $25 bucks off $75 or more and or course I shop clearance because I won't be wearing them long, but people have been complaining about my clothes, and I am in a job where I need to look good. Well I tried them on last night for my man, and he told me he hoped I saved the receipt because I am not going out looking that good... Sassy---hope you had fun at the party girl! I am sure you looked fierce and made all the boys go crazy! Maurdan--I hear ya ANY bakery is (or was) my downfall! I am actually starting not to miss my bagles!

Hey all...ugh..that is just all I can say! The judge was a complete a$$ and made me feel like crappy poo..... He yelled at me and basically told me that I suck. I am excused from Jury Duty because I am a college student. I was supposed to turn in something that proved I was in school, so yes I messed up. But he totally came down on me very hard and told me I needed to rethink college because based on the fact I couldn't send in the form, I am not going to do well after school! Can you believe that sh*t????? I was excused but he made me feel worthless...glad power didn't go to his head... Everyone thought I would be in jail to because I mouth off...I wish I had. I think it would have been worth it... BUT on the positive....I got a fill today....total weight loss is now 86 lbs. I lost 16 lbs in 6 weeks! I got .50 ccs today so now I am up to 2.75. Taking it easy! How is everyone else today??

OK Girlies... Wanted to say hello in case I get into trouble today....I missed Jury duty and I appearing before the court today on a bench warrant.... I didn't mean to miss it! WIsh me luck!! I am scared to death....

ROTFL.... Does he know that??? lol....

I gained like 10 pounds from the time I got my date until the REAL pre op diet. I ate all the things I knew I would never eat again like they were going out of style! It's ok, we all do it!

I was the EXACT opposite of fat growing up! I was always a VERY skinny girl, and at 12 got into modeling where you can NEVER be skinny enough. I developed Bulima there, and my problems with food began....

OK, I don't know if this conversation has me paying attention more or what....but I literally got into a near accident today reading this personal plate, and I promise you guys I am NOT making this up....anyone wanna help decifer?? COCKRG8 um...yeah they should have said NO to that request.....

Ariel I agree about those freaking lecture hall classes. I dropped one the semester before I got the band. It was just too humiliating trying to squeeze my a$$ in, and then god forbid if someone needed to get in or out....ugh...

Nikki I can't even eat a HALF a bowl of anything... I typically eat 1/2 a bowl of oatmeal, or 1/2 an egg. Ect. I haven't gotten more than a 1/2 cup of food (or less) since I got banded. My DR told me the way to know if you need a fill is if you get hungry after you eat sooner than 3-4 hours later. Also eating too fast will cause you to eat more than you really can! :hungry: I can not eat rice, pasta or bread so I envy you there! They make me sick now, my band does not like them! I eat whatever the family is eating for lunch & dinner but typically about a 1/2 of a cup!

WOW Steph! YOu look great! I can see it in your face as well as your middle!

Ok, in the midst of our discussion I thought I would share this. My grandmother who is 65, and lost grandpa a few years ago was just diagnosed Friday with HPV. My grandma met a man on Match.com her age, and well things progressed.... NOW dear grandma has HPV, and the Dr has told her it is the strain (one of many) that is an STD. She is having a very hard time understanding this, and how do I help her? WHY is the HPV vaccine for those under 28?? We can all obviously get it, so why do the rest of us have to play Russian roullette with our lives? I am sure for many it many not be a worry since it is an STD, but what about the elderly women out there? Who start life over after loss of a partner in avery different world??

Well yes, by 6th grade we will be talking about it, but they can get the vaccine younger than that. As soon as they are old enough whether we are talking about sex yet or not they will get getting it!

Now I must say that I like that one! I love to read bumber stickers and personalized plates! You can tell alot about someone on what they are willing to say to the general public!

Steph--YEAH! I am so glad she has found a good one, they good ones seem so hard to find! VAB--feeling any better yet dear? I agree with all of you, I am soooo sick of snow I could shove it right down Mother Nature's throat...lol... Boy I am cranky today I think! Sassy--enjoy your day off girl! I am jelous. I had to go to school today even knowing that my kids didn't have to...ugh...

Thanks Nat. Sounds like you have one of those mean critical moms. That stinks! She won't even recognize you next time so she won't be able to try to knock you down! Thanks for the support. I hate clothes....too bad I don't have the body to go naked.....lol

I haven't met a VW that I don't love yet! There is just something about those cars!

Ok guys.... I am feeling horrible today.. DH took me shopping because basically I have nothing to wear, so we thought we would hit the sales.... Well we went out and I got a ton of clothes, and didn't try on anything. The blue shirt I just got is an XL, which fit great so that is what I got... Guys out of like 12 shirts only a few fit. One is so tight there are 6" i swear missing where it should shut on my breasts... I feel fat and ugly..... WHY CAN'T ALL SIZES BE CUT THE SAME????? :cry :cry :cry :cry

Good grief Liz! Sounds like you do need a new friend! I am sorry!

WOW! A contract?? That is serious. I was banded on August 1st and do drink occassionally, but there is no beer anymore. BUT on the plus I get drunk (close to it) on 2 drinks.

I agree with Alexandra. OR if he does want to be married he certainly doesn't want you to be equals.

I guess maybe I am lucky then that I get asked CONSTANTLY...I quit avoiding the truth and now I just tell everyone. I am no longer ashamed of it anyways, so why try to hide it??
