I LOVE ACHMED the dead terrorist! Jeff Dunham is hilarious! I just bought his DVD and laughed my ass off while watching it!

Hi Stormy, My mom wanted to know if your son has any special sports interest or character interest? She is going to start making boys clothes and even if you don't want to purchase anything, any insight will help her make the right items to sell. Also she will be posting them on ebay if you search for "Posh Britches" it will pull up anything that she has posted currently.

I LOVE DEF LEOPARD!! I'm sure it is just a virus. Did you do anything that would give you reason to think it is your band?

Hi Julie, Michelle was kind enough to post the pictures right above this. You should be able to see them in this thread now.

I'm so relieved to hear that everything went okay with you husband. It is important to have him as a support system, I've joked before that my husband is like the band police for me. He watches what I eat and how I eat more than even I do and he is always watching out for my best interest...He was not always supportive of this though but he understands that it was something I needed to do for me and once he saw the OCC and met Dr. Ortiz he felt much better and is actually going back with me again for my fill. I'm sure you husband will be the same, once he meets the staff at OCC, especially Dr. Ortiz, he will come around fully. Have a great band journey!

She doesn't have any boy stuff made right now but she has a million patterns. I'll look through them and see what she has in a 5t. Michelle, Thanks for posting the pictures for me!

My mom has begun sewing again and is making the cutest clothes for my kids. She is also trying to start her own business by selling them. I had a hard time getting the pictures to post here so I have posted them on my myspace page. Please take a look and just send me a message if you are interested in buying any of the outfits. They can be made in any color/size/fabric. If your interested I'll get the pricing for you. Visit My Website Just click on my pics and the album is called "custom kids clothes 4 sale"! Erin

Please understand that there are reasons why you are on a liquid diet for 21 days. The band is stitched to your stomach and until those stitches are scarred over it is not permanently in place. When you eat solid food it places stress on those stitches which can cause the band to move or slip. Please for you sake and the sake of your band do not cheat on the liquid diet again.

How did you fill go Elaine?

I haven't weighed myself ever since I was abducted by aliens and they stole my scale and locked it in the trunk of my car! LOL

Way to go Elaine!

I love that one Jena!!! That would have been funny! Like Ron White says... "you can't fix stupid!"

Oh my gosh Alana! My sister in law is like that too. She is a plus sized girl too and is having some success on Weight Watchers which I tried and failed. When I told her I was having lap band surgery she was like... whatever that's the easy way I'm going to tough it out and do it the hard way. It's funny how people think this is the easy way. I struggle everyday with making the correct food choices, do I want chili fries or a chicken salad? I could easily go for the chili fries but I CHOOSE to eat the chicken salad. This is a lifestyle change and not a diet and that makes it even harder to work towards. The funny thing is I just found out from my niece that her mom, my sister in law that criticized me, looked into the surgery also and her insurance wouldn't cover it so I've come to the conclusion that she is just jealous that I had the surgery and she didn't! Don't let anyone ever make you feel bad about your choice! We all know that we made the right decision and that we WILL achieve our goals! Erin

It's great to hear that all went well!

You look great Cathy! You can really see the difference in your face!

I agree, everytime Michelle post new pictures she looks fabulous! Great job! I know you worked hard for it!

So I had a clothing epiphany tonight! As I was walking through a casino I realized that I could feel my pants moving around as I walked! Weird! So in the bathroom I looked in the mirror and ralized that my pants are now to big in the butt and are sagging and bunching up!!! I'm SO HAPPY to finally start to see the differences in my clothes! Anyone else have a clothing epiphany today?

That all sounds normal and after a month post op I'm still not really regular...Have to get more fiber in my diet I guess. Hang in there and just remember it will be worth it in the end!

Oh my gosh!!! That sounds good too! I'm going to have to stop reading this thread!! I'm really wanting BBQ now! LOL!

You look amazing!!! Way to go!!!

Sounds yummy! I haven't had barbeque in a while....

I was nauseous for about 2 weeks off and on. I took liquid mylanta and it really helped.

Good to hear your feeling better Julie! See and you were worried your fill wasn't enough!

That's great news Mona! Glad to hear that fill is finally working for you!

That's a good idea Misty! I think I'm going to do that. I never plan ahead, if we eat out its more of were in the car and what is closest to where we are. I should keep a binder in the car that has all of that info so I can go into the restaurant knowing what I'm going to get even when we are out and about!
