Boo Boo Kitty

Good, that is what I thought as well. I will be keeping do mine until death us part as well...lol...

I have a question, does anyone know HOW long can you keep the band in? My mom is swaying towards the R en Y because she feels the lap band is just a band-aid. I want her to have all the facts and our surgeon told her 10 years?? (Hi mom if you read this...lol...)

I have a very dear friend who has a saying... "Big boobs, big butt, = big fun" (Well he used different words, ya know where I am going with this) His wife calls me his girlfriend and she was the first to tell me he was going to be upset!! I was completely flattered, but I told her I am doing this to be healthy...lol...

OK I went through this too. T.V. sucks in general....lol... I have tivo now so I don't want the commercials. Just make you hungry for bad bad food....lol...

You that is a good question, but I have no problems with it, so I pray that they are not taintable as well... But on t.v. this minute they are saying it is the process of bagging that helps the bacteria to breed.

GOOD GOD!! I do not want to see myself naked......eeeewwwww....... :sick

I have seen this as well, and NO longer buy any bagged veggies. GO organic if you can!

Unfortunately discrimination is alive and well in many aspects of life, but being plus size we do have a big advantage, we can change our weight. But being skin color, ethnicity, and race can not be changed. As much as I hate being fat I have myself to blame. People hate others that are not like them. And actually I think that overweight people can threatening to others. Most of my skinny friends tell me that they wish they could be as happy as me. They don't know I am just being the life of the party so I make sure they are laughing with me, not at me. :think

lol....ya know I really should write it! You have no idea how mean CPS was...

I used to be a complete COKE addict. On average I would drink a 12 pack a day. YES, a 12 pack. It was cheap in the south. When we moved back to Michigan I brought 200 cases back in the car. I did talk the truck driver into bringing some. When I got pregnant with my first my husband thought it was time I quit, at the OB he blurted out I was a coke addict. Of course he did not mean what the Dr thought he was talking about. CPS (child protective services) was brought into to the office. ( | was 6 months pregnant or so.) It took taking them to the house and showing my stash to get them to leave me alone.... SO now it is just Water for me. I am proud to say I am an EX coke addict!

And that is the same of anyone that gets it. That is just from the sheer force needed to sometimes stop someone of choking. I had never thought of this before though, so I am very glad that you brought it up!

OK I was so nervous I thought I was going to pass out. BUT I got the fill with nothingelse first and it was a breeze. I am a big baby so I want everyone to know who is freaked out about it that it was easy easy easy! Dr only put .5ccs in, which I was sad. I wanted more, but I was told I was doing too well to give me more...lol...it was not needed he said. OH WELL! :bored

I talked to the Dr and dietician today at my visit. Her take on it is that I am gulping too much air when I eat or drink. Dr said it is just a side effect for some. I am going to try beano 24/7....lol THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS! You are all the best.... :clap2:

How cool! Congrats! And btw, you got it on the place that hurts the worst, so if you ever get another it shouldn't be that bad! lol...but it is super cool.

I eat alot of protien shakes and bars. It really gets no better with what I eat. I even get it from drinking water. I was never like this before.

OMG I can no longer stand myself. Someone please help!! The gas belches and the other end are kiling me. I have tried everything, Mylanta, Gas X ect....what works for ya all?? I can no longer take it and I think my family is at the wit's end as well.....

I know how you feel about being busy. I work, go to college full time and have 2 kids. (kids are about 10 jobs right..lol) I have found it hard to eat at home. I now pack lunch, which takes me an extra 5 minutes in the a.m. If I run late I grab a protien bar or Meal Replacement bar. There are some very tasty and satisfying bars out there. I love Nutrilite bars though. Breakfast is usually a protien shake or a meal replacement bar. For Snacks I carry a bar and break it into pieces. You can eat well in a hurry, it just takes dedication! I do not even go to fast food for good food. It is just too much of a temptation to fall back into that trap! :hungry:

I see Erica in a mental facility in the future from a nervous breakdown. I think once she says how she was played she is seriously going to doubt herself! What a freaking idiot she is....

Thank you so much to all of you. I am feeling a little better knowing that it is not a death sentence necessarily. I just hate that my body is doing thtis now, after I am finally trying to take good care of it...

OMG Josette! Is it our nasty Michigan sun that has done this to us?? :couch2:

Hello all, I am hoping someone else has had this unfortunate disease. I was told yesterday I possibly had skin cancer by my surgeon. Obviously since he is a surgeon he told me that I need to go to my PC, but he was quite upset and concerned after looking at it. After searching on the internet, I am now scared. I go to the PC Thursday to see what is up. Anyone have an experiece with skin cancer? And before anyone starts I know this is all my fault for being a lilly a$$ girl and getting burned too many times. I am scared more than I have ever been. :think

Good luck! I had my surgery done there. I love it there. If it is meant to be it will happen!

Wooo hooo! What a fun day that will be! Congrats to you!

I know if looks could kill Boogie could have killed both girls. I am so happy they finally got some sense in their damn heads! Now Erika doesn't look like such a sappy guible girl! YEAH!

Erika does look horrible, she needs to go back to not smoking. What I wonder about how the people that know her feel about her & Boogie. I know how we feel, I hate it. They must really hate him!
