i'm in.... where are we going? I can for a little while at least.

I love it Denise !! Sing away!! I will share a couple of memories of the surgery date for me. Josefa, the chief nurse, gives an AWESOME back massage. I could've just melted right there on the hospital bed. Closer to the time for my surgery, she handed me two pills (sublingual- under the tongue). I asked what they were for. Bless her heart, she said the first was "antibiotic" with a heavy accent. #2 she said.... "one tequila, two tequila" and smiled.... A knockout pill LOL. After I was placed on the surgical table, they began to put the knockout medi into the IV, and I remember saying "OWWW, that feels like its burning" and hearing Dr. Ortiz saying "it will be fine in 3 seconds" and I counted to two and then was waking up and moving into the wheelchair to go back to my room - all done. It was not a bad sensation, just noticeable because of the meds, and the coolness in the room.

oh this conversation is shocking my innocent eyes!!

awwwwww.... group hug time. Somebody lead us in Kumbayah.

what is dawnie talking about? did she just say she can't feel her ni..... never mind.

Good luck Denise!! Tell Dr. Miranda that you followed my advice and did the shake diet for three weeks, and McDonald's chocolate shakes are the best!! And good luck Cathy, up there in C ... eh? N.... eh? D...eh? Bill

I'll wager that you'll burn more calories USING the chocolate body paint than it could contain!!! (Just use low cal whipped cream and only a few maraschino cherries)

Uh oh. Hanging from a chandelier was a no-no?? Dang. We need to contact sphynxy's hubby and tell him that he can "go for it". C'mon sphynxy.... just no chandeliers. Everything else is in play.

did she just call me a "mama's boy"? [puts a mark on jena's list] and paula says I'm red blooded, but it's under consideration as to whether I am "normal"? [puts a mark on paula's list] ohhhh k. LOL

LMFAO allcd !!!

qui est nancy?

I had a student who removed a nose ring, after having one for a long time. She was in class one day, rared back and let out an ENORMOUS sneeze, but she tried to pinch her nose. When she did, a little mini-geyser was born and she nailed the male student next to her. He jumped so quickly that he fell into the floor. I wish I had it on video.

Moi?? "shameless" ? Non, madam... je suis un mâle américain sang rouge normal. Oui??

I had Wendy's chili and crackers. I know, the crackers weren't the best choice, but they went down fine when i loaded them with chili. I just made sure to chew them well, and slowly to absorb EVERY moment of the flavor and the chewing.

I can't wait till all of you cuties are ready to toss away one of the two pieces. You can toss either one. Won't make a difference to me.

[will reads jena's post again and uses a large magazine to fan himself] wow..... it's getting kinda warm in here, isn't it??

Michelle? who is this michelle? Ohhhhhhhh. THAT one. [snicker] I'm just pulling your chain also. welcome back. And before you talk too much about "that time of the month" you better read evette's topic about it. LMAO

no one understands us as well as us. Years of being tormented just made our resolve that much stronger. I made the decision to do this, and I've never wavered on it, not one bit. I don't care how much port pain, or gas, or PBs there will be. I know *I* will be tougher - because I want it. Lisa is right. Very soon, the compliments will come, and you'll tell people you are from Babe-alonia. I laughed out loud at the Victoria's Secret thingy. That's awesome! You can do eet..... we are walking right beside you. [When you go in the bedroom though, we are gonna let you do that on your own ]

that is an awesome idea cedar... lisa is right. I wish I'd known about that, too. It would've made those first days go by much better. Great suggestion!

here's a great booksite: www.abebooks.com Any and all books are cheaper than some of the more traditional booksites on the web. Some of them are used, and all of the dealings I've had with this site have been of quality. Paula, you express what many people feel inside. Mirrors hurt us when the pain is the worst - inside. You've taken the steps to modify the outside as we all have. We all have to modify the insides, too - convincing ourselves that it's OUR perception of ourselves that really matters, followed by spouses, best friends and the others who dont like us as we are can kiss our sweet big backsides (big for now only). Do things YOU like to do, and feel good about yourself. Your confidence will return. As you told me.... YOU CAN DO EEEEET. As an educator, the term failure means that the proper motivation isnt there to succeed. Now you have motivation... soon, you'll be a lean, keen new machine.......... Remember failure is not an option. Not now.

She's right on with what she says. When you slime, saliva builds in your mouth and you feel like you're going to throw up any second, until the burp comes, and the pressure is relieved. The slime is the build-up of the saliva. Sometimes when you PB, you do throw up a small amount, sometimes you just feel like you're going to until the burps come. Eating too fast causes them. Eating large bites that arent WELL chewed causes them. Some foods cause them.

WAY TO GO Bigali!! Good luck on the next 21 days of broths and soups. It'll pass by before you know it!

The bigger they are..... well, that is another dangerous path. It would be lots of fun in a very chilly room

YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME??? LOL It's really an interesting book too, her premise is that every time you begin to feel hungry, intimate activity will take away the hunger and lose calories at the same time. Add a swimming pool at midnight, and what else would one need?????
