  1. A really good thing to do is to read the titles of the various of areas of this very large and well constructed site. Once you do so you will find the appropriate zones in which to post your posts.
  2. Well, duh...eh. You are not welcome on this site, it seems to me.....
  3. I am a Cancer. I was born on the 4th of July.
  4. My NSV goals are: 1 - to buy clothes off the regular racks 2- to be able to tuck my shirts and sweaters into my pants 3- to fit a size 12 or 14 Meeting these goals would make me very happy.
  5. Yippee! Congratulations, Bitter!:clap2:
  6. Harvey's has infiltrated Home Depot and they do make a good burger.
  7. Not bad and they come in bigger sizes! Yippee! Thanx.
  8. Bitter, I, too, have always liked short, thin, dark haired men. I think that this is because my father was short, thin and dark. I was imprinted early. I've ended up more often than not with tall, thin and dark haired men. I have been very lucky with my current mate. He is a man who takes care of me. I've always wanted one of those and it has taken me a great deal of trial and error before finding one. I've kissed and done more with a lot of toads before finding my prince. Here's a hunting tip: find one who is nurturing towards his own family. When he attaches himself to you and yours he will treat you in the same fine fashion.
  9. Yah, feeling the hardware is quite gross. I find myself feeling my port quite often and grossing myself out by doing so. It is a weird loop that I have gotten into. Go figure....
  10. Oh, and growing with European parents meant that we almost always ate home cooked food while we were growing up. We hardly ever went out to restaurants and we didn't order in. This was the way my dad liked it. My mother didn't. And we didn't either. I think that this is why I like eating in restaurants so much.
  11. It was my husband that introduced me to Big Macs and now I love 'em! I have Mac attacks. They are sorta gross but deeply addictive. Part of the reason that it took me so long to experience MacDonalds was that it took them a long time to infiltrate the core of Toronto and because I don't drive I was never in the right places until I met my signif other. Now I have two MacDonalds within walking distance of my house. Yep, it takes me five minutes to walk to a Big Mac, eh! lol Times have really changed. I only had my first Taco Bell experience about five years ago when one opened up within walking distance. Now a friend and I sometimes go there for Sunday brunch! I love the fries supreme. When I was in my twenties fast food meant Harvey's for hamburgers and Mr. Sub. The other option was pizza. All the good fast food franchises were in the suburbs or in the States. LOL
  12. I want the kind that are like leggings. Are the ones at Old Navy like that? You stay in onederland, girl!
  13. Nancy never has any problem finding mine. I never have any problem finding mine. I can feel it. It is right underneath my skin, just below my bra line and right between my boobs. Why is yours so hard to locate, Yoda? As for meeting the docs, I briefly met Dr. Joffe the same day I met Nisrine and I saw Dr. Yau the morning of my surgery for long enough that we shook hands. They were both pleasant.
  14. I think that it's a problem with living in downtown Toronto and having grown up with European parents. I never ate a Big Mac until I was 35. Now I love them!
  15. So Green had to see her shrink today and she hates seeing him because he finds her boring and always yawns in her face and this means that she needs a long walk and some therapeutic shopping afterwards. The shopping and the walk went kinda well. The weather was in the double digits and she got herself a black boiled wool jacket in size 3x at Winners for 60 bucks. It's a big drapey wrap-around garment and Green looks kinda small in it. Now she needs skinny jeans, eh. And yesterday she bought 3 pairs of black over the knee socks for 5 bucks a piece. She's gonna wear these with skirts. She's still too fat to do tights.
  16. Green has never had a Blizzard, either.... Argon, you have got to tell me what they are like! Eh.
  17. Do not get a fill until you come back from this trip!
  18. Congrats on getting through your big day, girl! I am a TLBC graduate, too, and I stuck to their diet requirements. From what I've been reading on the main boards these make sense. You have been operated on and foreign materials have been installed and actually sewn into your body. :rolleyes Your insides need time to recover and you don't want to rip those internal stitches. This is the rationale behind the diet. And yes, I found the diet kinda rough at times, especially during that first week. I used to find myself lying in bed thinking of filet mignon done extra rare and pasta Alfredo for hours at a time.:hungry: Reading, watching TV, drinking broth, and taking demerol helped to distract me. On the bright side, you are gonna lose a lot of weight!:clap2: And that's a good thing.:biggrin1:
  19. Bummer! A friend of mine once had scabies. It means Big Laundry! :help: He moved into a hotel while he had 'em.:rolleyes Good thing you found out that you didn't have 'em before the laundry thing got too nasty!:clap2:
  20. Yah, all the best!
  21. I don't know what to say. I have 6cc and I am nowhere full enough. I think I am going to have to phone for a 4th appt. Why don't you phone TLBC, explain the problem, and see what they say? How are you doing these days?

    Hello, Muggle. I am sorry to read about all your problems with the band. Of course your surgeon never should have banded you - you didn't want it! This was a very bad start to a bad relationship with something that was implanted inside you. In order for the band to work you have to want to have the band and then you must be prepared to work with it. Even then, the band seems to work better for some people than for others. Some of us will have problems with it and will be disappointed. I think that you are doing the right thing by starting a website for people who are having problems, are angry, and do want support.
  23. I have never had a McFlurry. What are they like?
  24. Wow! This is bound to be difficult on both you and Mr. Yoda. I hope she makes a good recovery. My thoughts are with you both.
