You should also talk to your pharmacist and see if you can crush the pills into powder before taking them??? Just an idea. Or maybe they are available in liquid form? Wouldn't hurt to check.

Hey Tellie! Looking good, I like the hair! I can't wait until the after pics of your tummy tuck when you have it. You're going to have such a great result I think. What face products do you use? Like cleanser/moisturizer brand and make-up? Do you have oily or dry skin? Just curious. Your skin is just so beutiful.

Oh my gosh im so happy to have this journal back. I thought it was gone forever. I didnt even realize how much it was meaning to me until it was gone. OMFG yes! lol. Im just sitting here staring at the journal entry screen with the biggeset grin lol. Ok so back on track, gotta start journalling all my food again. I just got a fill on Wednesday so I've been on liquids. I can start eating more regular foods tomorrow. Tonight I blended up some soup with noodles in it, Im not sure if it was in my head or for real, but I seemed to get a full feeling quicker.. Or was it the soup?? or was it my band?? or was it.. lol. I'll find out tomorrow when Im eating regular food again. Exercise well Ive got a toe issue. I had an ingrown toe and it grew out now but my toe is still swollen on one side. Dangit. Im going to give it unti monday to feel better and then decide what the heck to do. I really want to exercise. Im taking this new way of life seriously. I wanna be hot soon! lol well sorta soon, I don't want to lose all my hair. I have a funky neck, I keep my hair long to hide it. I just think my neck is fat. Once I get down to about 170, it doesn't bother me though. I think if I end up having plastic surgery I'll have the surgeon look at my neck and see if he can do lipo on it. :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: Kissing my journal:kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2:

Ya I just saw that on the news Old Man, what a super freak!

Yayy Teresita! WTG I just had my first fill on Wednesday, two days ago, so im hoping I start losing the pounds too!!

Thats weird. Noone can really predict where you'll end up. My doctor actually told me I could get down to 130, when my expectation was 150?? go figure.

Happy Underwear Quit Adding Diarreah .. LOL JOGFB

A lot of people who vote Republican truly believe it is the morally superior party. They think their moral influence is more important than any other issue. Thats why (in my oppinon) people whom it would be more financially advantageous to vote democratic vote republican. We all have differant oppinions about differant moral issues. Im not saying what I feel is right. I think as Americans we all have the right to our own oppinions. Im just saying I feel like the Democratic and Republican parties as they are now are too polar in moralaity issues. Maybe if there were choices more in middle ground, we could come together as a country. For instance.. hypothetically speaking.. say you are a morally conservative Republican and a morally Conservative Democrat wins the election.. well at least you can find comfort in the fact that you can agree with your current representation on moral issues. It just feels like its such an all or nothing situation right now. It just feels really polarized to me. But I feel like as people and individuals we are more alike than we are differant. I know that I personally enjoy knowing people who are differant than myself, I like cultural and other diversity. If everyone thought just like me, well I'd be bored to tears.

I wish instead of Democrat/Republican/Independant, we had these parties: Morally Liberal Democrat, Morally Conservative Democrat, Morally Liberal Republican, Morally Conservative Republican, Independant. I wish people who are anti-abortion, didn't have to choose between fiscal responsibility and moral responsibility. It seems like whenever you want to debate which political party you support, neither party fits really. Republican and Democrat should be about how we spend our tax dollars, not about wether or not we support abortion or some other moral issue. Im sure a lot of people feel like they identify with the Democratic ideology of helping the working class and middle class to succeed and not be treated like worker-bees for the benefit of a handful of billionaires. But yet these same people are probably voting Republican in large part due to a belief that the Republican party is the more moral party that doesn't support abortion. Im not saying what my personal preferance here is, im just saying that I wish we had more than 2 choices when it comes to Democrat and Republican parties. For some reason I have a hard time voting for an independant because I want to know where they stand, I don't want a loose canon in charge.

Witty Intelligent Teachers Teach Excellence FATTY

Im young too Scribby, 29, and yes I know how to vote. And I have taught my younger siblings how to vote as well as many of their friends. They didn't know how. Shocking isn't it? If people choose not to vote thats one thing, if they just don't know how and are too embarrassed to admit it.. well thats another. And I think when people make broad statements against people who don't vote, they make people who don't know how to vote due to ignorance, embarrassed to ask for help.

Carlene, I disagree with you a little bit on this issue because it contradicts itself. Many people (especially younger generations) do not vote because they don't know how to. Do you know many highschools no longer have civics as part of their curriculum? I want everyone to voice their oppinions, right, wrong, or indifferant. The more communication there is the better. If people who didn't vote coudln't criticize an elected official well we might miss out on an important point of view. I think those of us who do vote should really reach out and help younger folks vote too. I think someone should start a grass roots campaign to do soemthing about this issue. I heard on the news that WalMart is doing something with their employees in this regard. Does anyone know what im talking about? lol I don't know the details.

You know why I think this thread is working? Because it started out with a vote! Voting is a powerful and empowering thing!

I think she should have been president!! Ever notice ppl with wit and sense of humor are really smart a lot of times.

Kiss And Read In Korea DONUT

I don't mind social programs, I think they are necessary. We need a good business person who can keep the money actually going constuctively to causes and not into the great abyss of beurocrats, and able bodied slackers. Its funny because I come from a family of very meager means. My father grew up in a household with a singe (working) mother of 11 children.. her husband ran off. So my dad's survival depended on social programs. And then my dad was a very proud man who would never ever abuse the system and my entire life we paid for everything and he never missed a day of work. But he was a definite democrat. Now I've acheived more monitairily than he did, probably due to his good example and work ethic, and im starting to think more along fiscally conservative lines lol. I would never want to admit this to my dad! LOL, but when you have more money its hard to see such a huge chunk of it going to uncle sam.. Especially when its to fund a civil war in Iraq! And to give the Ultra-rich oil money rich people big tax breaks. Grrr.

Hmm maybe the tranlation was messed up lol, and it was actually sliver-in the tounge?? hehe. Ohhh I just thought of something, that other Governor of TX, that lady, said I believe about Bush senior .. He couldn't help being born with a silver foot in his mouth?? lol does that count?

I should have put a moderate choice up there. Ugh lol. I would have selected that. Sheesh.

I do the same thing Jack, I always feel like Ive done horribly on calories. And then thank goodness for fitday, it always reminds me I really do have a working band lol.

LOL I hope you were wearing cute underwear!! Ha thanks for the laugh!

Ok so I love polls. And I love politics. So what political party has the most lapband recipient votes? We'll soon find out!!

LOL I had the IV problem also. I put 3 bandaids over it and said I burned myself ironing. It worked.

Thanks Parvathi, thats interesting indeed.
