oh Faith, i think im gunna hurl.

mmmmm... tree frogs. do those come fried too??

mmmm... love the 'soft' foods of turkey day. stuffing with sweet potatoes (smothered in butter and brown sugar) on top. dont forget to mix in the cranberries. OMG ... drooooool

fried pickles (double ick) is an appetizer staple here (TX). that is just so wrong.

hi Karen, everyone is different, but i tend to get tighter as the fill 'settles in' a few weeks later. be careful. if you PB, try liquids for a day or so. if you feel too tight, please get a slight unfill.

Julie, i am completely floored by the difference. you look amazing.

i rarely have 'bux anymore (used to go 3-4 times a week). now i go and get a venti peppermint or raspberry mocha about once a month. mmmmmmm.

ingyrob, maybe. she hasnt been on for a few days though ... i miss her ... WASA ... WASA where u @ ?

yup, me stirring the pot again... another forum i belong to has "the playground" which is a lot like RnR. in order to even view the threads you have to be a member for X months and have X posts. any thoughts on making RnR like that? things get quite heated over there and you need a tough skin... even though the header is prefaced with the disclaimer, it's been taken VERY personally by some newer members lately.

i miss wasa too... her TT isnt until December though. - - - - - - - - -

i cant even imagine...

i feel ya!! you could probably make a few disney type rides now (i went when i was about 310ish and was OK) not vain at all..

whos - sorry bout that. it wouldnt let me post earlier cause i didnt have enuff text as a reply so i just typed that ... lol

delta, it will more than likely be mid/late summer to fully recover, but thats ok. still will work on getting as fit as i can get. 21.1 km!!! GACK!!!! **faint** good for you!

nume black dress pants will become your friend!!

i have had an occasional diet coke since banded (maybe 7-10 since being banded 13 months ago). i have never finished one though. it just doesnt taste the same.

oh boy... i think that is the one "down side" to dropping the weight. clothes not properly fitting. i guess one good thing was i was in a 22/24 for quite awhile (from Jan - late Sept and that was about 60-65 lbs)... i finally broke down and bought some 18/20s. i was hoping they would last awhile, but now im not too sure....

that's great news! being banded was the best decision i've made for myself in a long time! good luck to you w/ your banding.

i hope you all get everything *and more* on your lists!

huh, cooked sashimi ... now THATs the kind of sashimi i can handle. DH eats just about everything ... including squid which i can do cooked, but not raw... **shiver**

tomecia, yay! my surgeon was Marsden as well! i am staying on plan today cause its the best thing i can do for everyone involved...

LMAO!!! *sigh* need more text

im already home ... yay! have a great weekend!

i dunno, JM. i want to remain active and i still hope to do the minnie marathon in May. even if it is walking. the minimum they require is 4MPH and i can do that walking... i have to make another MD appointment. hopefully will be able to get in next week.
