WELCOME TO BANDLand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GasX strips, heating pad and walking is what helped me the most!

I just had cambels bacon potatoe soup for lunch! but I knew it was high carb... the only upside is that I don't eat many of the potatoe chunks. I have a new hire coming in so I'll be gone the rest of the afternoon

good morning..................... not much going on......... Robby had his first swimming lesson last night... HE WAS THE WILD CHILD! He loved it

I was thinking of getting one on my 1 year bandversary but NAAAAWWWW I'll try and weight it out... HA HA

ME THINKS I NEED A FILL!!!!!!!! I ate an ENTIRE lunch tostada for lunch WITH BEANS AND CHIPS!!!!!! dang dang dang dang dang

dh is here to pick me up for lunch!

YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL No, I've just been super busy... and I've been eating like crap, we got a puppy, DH back went out and today he is seeing a pain management specialist (partner of a surgeon) he has been off work, and he's been very cranky because he is freaking out.... work is crazy and my boss called last night because his daughter went into labor so they were heading to the Lake to meet her at the hospital (about 3 hours away) ohhhh and my period is getting ready to hit, so I cry at commericals...... Robby starts swimming lessons tonight, and I've also signed him up for his first year of T-Ball........... trying to figure out if I'm going to switch daycare on him for the summer and then again when he starts kindergarten.... (the current' place put a stop to all field trips last summer and they are not resuming them this year) park, movies, swimming, skating, fire station........... so I'm thinking of switching him to a place that does the fun summer stuff. The issue is he can't start the school district sponsored summer program util he completes kindergarten, but he wILL be going to the before and after program when he starts in August......... I bounced back up to 194 today....... grrrrrrr, but I had a cookie for breakfast, so that tells ya how I've been eating.

I Had This For Lunch Today!!!!!!

all this talking about lip hair has my upper lip ITCHING!!!!!! (and I am prone to fever blisters, but the wax didn't give me one...thank goodness) Haydee: I laughed out loud at the mosquito bites comment!!!!!! Well........... mine are long and low unless I've rolled them up and stuffed them into a bra! ROFL :smile: Have a great weekend!

WOW!!!!!!!!! didn't know that Haydee! Your entire family is soon to be surigically altered! WOOOOHOOOO Kat: thinking of you! what about some warm broth? sip sip sip

good morning! Well phooey........ my weekend plans are quickly going in the crapper... (((VENT AHEAD))) Charles and Cody were scheduled to go boy scout camping this weekend and Robby and I were planning to spend tonight over at my sisters watching movies and eating "healthy" snacks and slumber partyish... then tomorrow is my moms bday so I was going to suprise her with a visit and lunch..... Well, Charles hurt his back and is now home moaning and groaning saying that he isn't going camping and can I please haul the 4 scouts and their gear out to Lawrence KS (the camp site)...... so now.. if I still go to my sisters he will be pouting at home because I left him alone......... but if I stay he will just be a pitiful grumpy ass who will annoy the crap out of me... not to mention Robby is looking forward to going.......... and then there is the factor that Cody will now NOT want to go if dad doesn't go......... so that will be a fight, and that IS NOT HOW I WANT TO SPEND MY WEEKEND!!!!!! Charles already hung up on me, telling me to call him back when I could manage NOT TO RAISE MY VOICE AT HIM............. gawd.. the pitty party has already started..... and I haven't called him back because I'm still pissed that he is ruining MY WEEKEND.... ((( end of vent )))

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Pam you are such a hoot! Tracy: Baby that unfil! Terry: YUCK....... canned turkey chili...... THE HORROR!

I'm with Michelle........... HOW NORMAL ARE WE?????? Hell.. my whole life is posted somewhere online and I have posted pics of my belly hanging out of my jeans............... how could I fake THAT??

YOu guys are cracking me up............ I have two small tats and Charles and the older boys ALREADY freak out over them..... if I came back with another...... well he might not EVER let me out of the house again.. especially to meet a bunch of crazy women from all over the country! We were just notified that Cody has been elected to get "tapped in" on the same weekend of our V's trip...... (boy scout rite of passage thang) Charles has tried giving me a guilt trip about it....... so now I'm scrambling to find a place for Robby to go so that he can switch weekends with the other two boys mom so he can go on the campout with Cody.... (it's a suprise for Cody).........this is why I booked and paid Terry upfront.. last minute things ALWAYS come up and I didn't want to be guilted out of going.

Hang in there TAMMY!!!!!!!! You have kicked booty! What a difference a year makes

GOOD MORNING! I'm thinking that I may need a bit of a fill because last night we went out for chinese and I ate way way way too much........ (among them about 10 "butter shrimp") omg it was soooooooooo good.. I just kept eating...... I bounced all the way back up to 193 this morning but my rings will not hardly budge off my fingers so I know it is water retention.......... I kind of like the fact that I can eat food.. but it is scarey that I have no control. I think I need to get a grip on my food and then rethink a fill.............. Suzie: that is so scarey about the credit card...

I'm proud to say that I have now drank 3 (30 oz glasses) of water

Hello V's! Laura you had us worried!!!! I have had ONE glass of water today (my first in about 3 weeks) going for number two now...................

Thats AWESOME BBK!!!! Julie: I have been watching your thread.

PS consult scheduled for 4/7/2008... My plan covers removal of excess skin (it states it in the SPD) so I just spent 35 minutes on the phone with my insurance trying to get the "list" of criterian......... you would think it was a closely guarded secret... but FINALLY I was put in touch with a Nurse reviewer in the PRECert department...... This is the list: 1. Medical Necessity must be proven 2. Pictures of Skin, Rashes, breakdown 3. If seen by a dermatologist for the rashes, then receipts from the visit. She was nice about it and I ended up telling her about my band and my success.... my starting jean size and my current jean size... She ended up giving me her first and last name and the exact mailing address WITH department number........ AND I've been having issues with even getting appointments with docs who will even TRY to submit it to the insurance....... dam dam dam

OK.......... off to buy some of this!!!!!!!!!! sounds simply delish.. thanks for sharing!

OK.... 55. So I can put my jeans in the dryer, have a shower, get out of the shower, walk to the dryer and just pull my jeans on, instead of waiting to really, really dry off and then fight to get the zipper up. This one made me snort in laughter!!!!!!! BEEN THERE DONE THAT! Great List!
