Good Exercise, Bad Diet = no weight loss :(
I've been exercising sooo diligently, but I just can't seem to stop eating junk. I mean im not eating candy bars but last night for instance I ate some raviolies out of a can. They weren't even that good! grr im mad at me. Then I proceded to eat a bologna sandwich on cheap white bread. And then topped it off with 2 vanilla puddings. Everything I ate was completely unnutritious and pointless unless you are trying to add fat on your body which I so desperately don't want to do. On the up side I've been sooo good at exercising. Im completely unfilled and I really need to get a fill. When I can't eat much it seems to motivate me to eat better. Mostly because I love my hair and worry that if I get vitamin deficient I'd lose it or something lol. Im a mess..

Protein Shakes
Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage is where you can buy unjury. I personally use the Atkins chocolate royale shake that is ready to drink in the can and I mix in one scoop of chocolate unjury...if you are a choc a holic you will like this lol. Its low sugar, high protein (35g), and has a lot of other vitamins in it.

For Parents: How'd I do on a discipline issue?
a LONG time ago when I was a babysitter I had a similar incident while watching 4 children. They just took off to a neighbors while I went inside to diaper the youngest. I had to knock on neighbors doors for a similar amount of time until I found them.. It was sooo scary I was about to call the parents and police. Needless to say I refused to ever watch those kids again lol. They were and still are decent kids tho, but boy it really did scare the bejesus outa me.

I am very offended by the B**love post
Throwing a website for ppl who engage in this activity out there is in my oppinion disgusting. Now if this website had been sited as proof of existance and in context of educating/informing others I guess that would be differant. WAssabubblebutt, you don't know me. I don't know you. I could make blanket statements about you a plenty however im above that. In fact I don't feel the need to go through your post line by line to explain /defend myself. Good luck in your weight loss, if you ever need any support feel free to pm me.

I would call a nearby clinic and see if they have anyone there such as a PA who could do it for you. Wouldn't hurt to try. I don't know where you should go in your neck of the woods however because Im not from TX, I live quite a few states away.. I just had my lapband placed by Dr. Speigel because of his experience and low rate of problems. Sorry I can't be more help. If you end up going to the emergency room and noone there is familiar with the lapband, tell them you have a port like much like a medi-port and you need them to remove Fluid from it. Anyone trained on medi-ports would be able to help you.

American Idol 2007
I've thought all along it will be Jordan. Blake is great, but Jordan has the pipes! I just think in a recording studio, take away the nerves and she's going to be phenominal like others such as Whitney, Mariah, Celine etc.

Im all better too. I had a complete unfill this morning and it was INSTANT relief. Im on clear liquids for two days and full liquids for one day after that. They did the fleuro and my band was perfectly placed with no slippage. The doc attributed my problem to probably one of two things. I either ate something that irritated my stomach or have a virus that made my stomach swell. Either way after a few days I'll be back to a normal diet. I can get my fill back in 3 weeks. Wewww was I happy that everything went so well!

I've only been experiencing being completely shut for one day and I too was banded last July. I think I had the same mentality because up until now I had no complications whatsoever. After this im at a point where I just want this crap out of me! No offence to those loving their band but after one day of PAIN and being really scared its like you just want relief nomatter what the cost. Thats how I feel after ONE day, so I don't know how you are making it after so many days like this one.

Aargon, Yep I tried warm liquid, tea, coffee, broth, didn't work. Thats why im scared. I just hope with the unfil it fixes this. Im ok if I can't eat, but not being able to drink .. thats just too much.

OMG im experiencing the exact same thing right now. Its hell. Im completely closed, I can't drink water without pbing it up. It just got this way today though. For the past couple of weeks I seemed to be getting tighter and tighter and I attributed it to PMS but now im scared. Tomorrow morning im going in for an unfill and a fleuro to try and see whats going on. This is so painful and scary. Im starving hungry and I can't even drink water.

I think its going to come down to Jordan and Melinda. I think Blake will go home next, followed by Lakisha, and then Melinda. Jordan is going to win. lol

I am very offended by the B**love post
What you describe is physical / emotional abuse, not prayer in my oppinion. And I think if it had been said that physical / emotional abuse is as bad as sexual molestation well that would not have been considered flippant. Your poor dad, I didn't know him but I really feel bad for him.

A LOT flippant.

I am very offended by the B**love post
Im offended by it as well. And I wonder why someone would want to post something so gross. I agree with you Edie. Im not for censorship but I think in this case it would be appropriate. Gross. Theres just something yucky about the way it was thrown out there.. hmm. Gross.

Useless Information
What about next year? It will 03:04:05 06/07/08 ... or did you mean it will never be the year 2007 on that particular date again? lol because then I guess you'd find it funny that it will never be today again either?? lol or is there something I'm missing? lol probably I am.:biggrin1:

Updated Measurements
Thanks Mary ) I was surprised about my arms too lol. But I guess my clothes are feeling roomier for a reason. The percentages are nice to see, they put things into better perspective. I like seeing that my problem areas (arms & waist) are losing the most inches. Sorry about your bust lol but hey I'll probably need a lift in that area when im through too lol, maybe even enhancement, I don't know yet.
