TracyinKS

Welcome Teach Lady!!!!!! also: Panda, you are getting so close to surgery. How is your mom doing.. (I'm thinking she was in a nursing home rehab right now)

Soon after I posted my good morning greeting my (short version) 1) Work Puter Died (Black Screen of Death) 2) Filing Cabinet Fell over ON me ( 2 drawers, employee files ) 3) Went P, and when I bent over, the seam of my slacks split WIDE OPEN! (and I'm wearing grannie panties today!!!! ) Needless to say I went home to mend my clothing malfunction..... Returned to work to find a LOANER computer in my office... and I have spent the last 2.5 hours reloading software................. and here I thought I would have a nice quiet day!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME KIMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll put you on the pending list!

GOOD MORNING!!!!! Kity: LOL!!!!!! I had to laugh at your fears of your partner painting while you are "resting" ............. ROFL... I know exactly how you feel... she means well at least! You will be fine after surgery... you'll need to get up and walk, walk, walk anyway. CONGRATS: MS_Jen on your surgery date! I agree with Terri, the April 06 bandversary thread should be a requirement for us to read! WE ARE SO LUCKY to Have the 06'rs taking us under their wings!!! I don't know of any other monthy thread that has done this for their... counterparts. JulieNYC is getting ready to have ps, and will need our support, Betty(GuySis) has a husband that had surgery, and Kat just got through a grandbaby crisis....... Boo, Amourette, and all the rest that pop over here to nudge us in the right direction.... deserve a great big group cyberhug from us. I for one, gain inspiration from them every day. I really need to get some stuff done.. so I SHOULD NOT BE on here all day!! (but I'll check back later)

Thanks Dr. C for the pictures and the answers you always freely give! I think a pic of a slipped band should be posted on everyones fridge next to a list of the RULES!!!! Although other family members might not appreciate it!

Thanks for all the comments today... I've kind of had a weird few hours so I've been offline.. Sara: Hard Stop = PB I have an hour left at work, and tonight is SURVIVOR!!!! Terri: You are so right........ if we didn't have this board, we would all be fumbling around, poking at our bellies, wondering what was going on in there...... our significan others would get so bored with us constantly talking about our squeaky bands! I think I got everyone added back to the list... OnlyMe..

Congrats on the new bundle of baby boy!!!!!!!!

GReAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll soon be in the 50's!

lookin good!!!!!!!

OK... have you all heard (from vetran bandsters) about Soft Stops & Hard Stops? Meaning.... the signals your body gives you when you are full and need to STOP eating.. One of the "Soft Stop" signals is your nose running.....:omg: A little while ago I was down in our break room heating up some leftovers, (I won't go into EXACTLY what it was.. since I know many of you are starting on your liquid diets and it would be considered FOOD PORN) LOL Anyway..... here I was eating away at my bowl of warmed up stuff and about 1/3 of the way into it, MY NOSE STARTED RUNNING!!! I thought it was weird because the food was not spicy.. and then it hit me.. THIS IS MY SOFT STOP!!!!!! Maybe this signal has been happening to me forever and I just never put the fork down long enough to notice it... and this is the REALLY awesome part........... I got up and dumped the remainder of the bowl INTO THE TRASH!!!!!! I did NOT save it for later, I DUMPED IT! Yay ME!:mad:

Going through a heartwrenching divorce will REALLY, REALLY, REALLY weed out your true friends..... My life got crazy..... the two friends who stuck by me (even when I was doing STUPID things) will always have my love and devotion....... they were so glad when the real Tracy came back. The friend who I lost....... well.. she isn't worth my time or effort and although we live about 5 minutes apart, I have not spoken to her in two years........ I know she is waiting for me to grovel, suck up, or shower her with attention, but it aint happening....

Hello... I'm a April 07 bandster but I read all over the place.. I wanted to pop in here and say... that all your losses are really inspiring! Drews: You pics over on the before and after page are WONDERFUL! I think it is so cool that you've started with the derby.. did you ever pic a name! I agree.. with all the others who said you need to up your calories a bit, because of the increased workouts.. you are building some major muscle and that chick on BUNS of STEEL will have NOTHING on you!!! I don't really read negative stuff.. I just move on to the positives... I get what I NEED from lbt..... KEEP up the great work.. there are those lurkers who gain inspiration from each and every one of you!

congrats on bandland!!!!!! I can't wait to join you there!

bumping... don't worry SDdodge........your posts are touching people... just know that on boards like this.. there are WAY more lurkers than posters!!!!! YOU NEVER KNOW when something you said or did might come back at you. :mad:

Chatgirl and Chatgirls hubby!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun in Mexico and be sure to post when you feel up to it! TammyJ: when are you going to weigh???? Hope everyone else is doing great! I feel for those in bandster hell right now... (the time of no restriction before your first fill) Just think, by the time I get banded you all will be working on fill number 2!

Welcome Horns10!!!!! I'm just guessing from your signature that you are a guy..... if so... WELCOME! Keep us posted on your progress.

MORNING!!!!!!!!!! Our list of April Bandsters is growing!!!! I HOPE I've gotten everyone, if I missed someone please let me know. I update the list that is on PAGE 1 of this thread.
