  1. My name is Derick, I am a practicing Classical Deist :girl_hug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism#Deism_today
  2. I am about 2 weeks out from my surgury, I had a bad loss of willpower and bought a diet pepsi, lo and behold I took one drink and it tasted awful! I dumped it all out and have not had a urge to drink soda since1!:clap2:
  3. explain further please? perhaps a link(s)?
  4. now where did jack get that picture of me...:cry :paranoid
  5. my doc says 4 weeks of liquids only then 2 weeks of mushies and after 6 meeks I can eat solid foods. Talk about extreme :faint:
  6. has anybody had any experience with totillas? I am trying to plan my meals for the future and am wondering about tortillas, not so much flour totrtillas but corn tortillas somthing like making a small Breakfast burrito with eggs and ham? I know bread tends to get "stuck" but was wondering about tortillas is all.
  7. would you consider taking the band out? I have mixed feeling on the subject but I am new to being banded.
  8. I think I can get away with just a TT but I might need a breast reducution. My man boobs are perkier than most womans! and thats is just wrong:mad:
  9. I volunteer to help Jachut find hers :)
  10. slapping me upside the head puts me in a rage...odd pet peeve I know.
  11. I want to shoot my tv. pizza Hut, burger king, mcdonalds, GAHHH!! am trying to remain calm, keep telling myself: no food in the world tastes as good as being skinny feels. Food like that made me miserbale and fat. I still wanna hurt somthing though....
  12. cool, a thread for us guys
  13. any bandsters notice freinds/family changing? I swear a couple of them are bound and determined for me to fail! becuase they are skinny but quite frankly not all that good looking. It is like they are afraid I will "steal" thier g/f or the women will ignore them when I go out on the town with them. I say: Fu*k them! I have had women "move along" to them after I was chatting with them becuase they were "more interesting" Has anyone else had this problem? am I even making any sense? Sorry if I ain't, pain meds are making me high as a kite. :heh:
  14. Gut reaction on who I would vote for today until events and/or more information come out. Guilani is my first choice Chuck Hagel is my second choice Obama is my third choice I dislike Romeny becuase of his being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), I could not bring myself to vote for him. Well, that'll help balance out the vote of people who won't go for Giuliani because he's Catholic. :rolleyes
  15. currently reading "Russka" by Edward Rutherford. I enjoy his books becuase of the way he shows the trend of history from so many diffrent angles and "social" classes.
  16. Thank you all, I feel (and look) like I was just in a knife fight but the pain meds help a lot.
  17. Lol considering that Just got banded yesterday I look and feel like just got into a knife fight. I expect to feel normal after a month at the latest, the port is the most annoying thing for me right now.
  18. So...kinda embarrassing to ask but, how does one go about getting back into the dating game? Any advice? I amgoing to wait until I feel a bit better about my body first but...you never know do you.
  19. I'm 22 about to turn 23 on march 10th. I was just banded on 02-19-07. Best of luck!!
  20. haumph...:grumble:...take away my beer and soda :grumble: I better get over the cravings quicklike :paranoid any advice for caffiene cravings? remeber I can't stand coffee or tea (and yes I have tried all kinds of flavors etc. etc.)
  21. I am completely addicted to soda (diet pepsi fanatic) I used to be really bad but I love having a can or a 20 oz. in the morning. I can't stand coffe or tea. I was never able to get a straight answer out of my doctor or the nurses. Why can't I have my soda in the morning?!
  22. :clap2: expect to read a lot more from me from now on. I was banded 02-19-07 by Dr. Tersigni.
  23. I go in on the 19th this month at 7am.
