Good Morning Y'all! Well, the temps are starting to climb up again!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: We are actually going to be close to 70 next week! I love it! Just got home from the shopping and running erands, now I have to start doing something in the house. I hope to get some of it done today, I know when DH gets home he will want to go do something and I won't get anything done! Maybe I will say screw it and just go get a shower and cleaned up so I will not have to go looking like a bum! :) I am still having trouble with my neck, but I think it is a lot better today. I did good last night sleeping for the first night in a while, the night before I actually had to use my hand to lift my head up and it hurt like hell! I know I said I would catch up on personals today, but now I can't remember who said what! Dang! I do remember Beanie saying she was stranded in the airport, hope you get a flight out soon! By the way, I started the warming trend for you! So, Hello to all of you! I'll be better in the future I promise. It's just by the time I go check out the crapy threads I have run out of time for posting! Later!

having second thoughts
It's only normal to have second thoughts, but if you aren't sure, then you need to take some time to think about it more. I can only tell you that I wish I had the option to have the surgery when I was young and could enjoy my life normally. It is tough when you are overweight when you are young. Good luck in whatever decision you make!

I can eat the dark meat of chicken better than the breast. I eat all kinds of meat w/o any problems. Just make sure you chew it up good!

What to tell co-workers?
I didn't tell anyone either! It's surprising how if you push food around on your plate, nobody really notices when you don't actually eat it. Just remember, once you do tell, you can't take it back!

Burrrrr Mandy, that makes me cold just looking at it. We don't have any snow, but it might snow tomorrow, it's going to be 28 tonight. The wind out there right now is so cold! Sherry - Sweetie, sometimes when we are too tight, it works against us and makes us gain instead of loose. Keep an eye out on things and see what happens. You have done a great job with your band, don't feel bad at all. Your day will come! Hugs! Beanie - It's holiday time, (Valentines) so enjoy your desert! Hi Eileen! Going to go start something for supper. I'm cold, I need something good and HOT!

Good Morning Y'all! Running a little late this morning, I slept crooked or something and got up with a hurting neck. I sat for a while with a heating pad so now I am running behind schedule. Beanie - Yeah for you! You are really getting into this exercise thang! Last night I didn't want to do any, I was dead tired but told myself I would just do a few and then I could quit. Well, I did all mine plus 20 more! I guess once you get going it makes it all better!:girl_hug: Darcy - Congrats on the contacts! You'll become a pro at putting them in and taking them out pretty quick! Sherry - So how did you do last night? I can't believe they didn't have you come in and take a small amount out of your band! Be careful! Mandy - Awwww, feel better soon! I would bring you some chicken soup if you were closer! Kat - We have lots of sand on the bridges here, and when we go riding for the first time it is scary. It doesn't bother DH much, but it does me! I'm sorry gals, I don't have any more time, so I'll catch the rest of you tomorrow. It's not that I'm not thinking about you, it's that darn clock telling me to run not walk to the bedroom and get dressed!

Very little restriction at 3.5 cc's! What's going on?
Chicken noodle soup isn't exactly the way to tell if you are restricted. Try some real protein like chicken, pork, fish etc. Soup will go right through the band, protein won't.

Good Morning Y'all! It sounds like the weather is screwed up everywhere. It is going to be in the 60's here today (with rain and storms) but then cooling off again. By Wednesday night it is supposed to be 23! Mandy - Sorry you are sick again. Yes, I would get to the doctor and let him give you some meds. Don't forget to tell him you need it liquid if you can't take the pills. Some of those pills for sore throats are like horse pills! Beanie - Great job on exercising! You win the gold star. I have been exercising every day too, except I didn't do it yesterday, unless the housework made up for it!:heh: :heh: Good morning to all of you that haven't posted yet. Got to go get in the shower and get ready for work! The weekends just aren't long enough!
