Hey Girls, I'm here! Re-reading all your posts so I don't miss a thing while I am in FR. I'm on my 2nd glass of Red right now, so I appologise for my Spelling mistakes ok?GREEN was an awesome women from Toronto. I can't beleive she's gone! I am so sorry for that loss... she was way cool and often emailed me when I had questions about Depression/ Mania and medications.... she and I shared a lot... it is so sad.

Hi Gang! Yup finally packed, all our stuff is loaded in the car. But our Plane is delayed so I have a few minutes to type on the computer before we leave for the airport. Woody is staying at my GF's house to be nursed back to health, she's eating like a little pig, So I think she is going to be fine... Drained the Pus out of her neck one last time, and now Michelle will look after her. :tongue: Peter is worried about his little girl. I hope he can still enjoy his vacation. TWIG has gone to the boarding kennels and is on his last "grace".... if anything like this last dog attack ever happens then he is going to Doggie Heaven. It'll break my heart but I have to be able to trust my Dog around other dogs... Both are getting older and crotchetty, so we'll just have to supervise them better. ANd not have fourlegged visitors for the weekend anymore.. I think TWIG was stressed cause he had 2 strange dogs in the house for the weekend(last).. Anyways, its been a heartrenching couple of days here... not the best way to start a vacation!!! My DD is bringing her laptop to France (type A personality) so I'll be able to check in LBT occassionaly... Car says HI to everyone!! Love Peaches!! al la mode LOL

OMG, no not packed yet! Its tomorrow and we'll be gone 15 days. Problems at home, My oldest Dog is sick... had her to the vet this a.m. Infection in her neck.... man I hate this.. its my DH doggy girl too... so he is very upset about leaving tomorow. My GF Michelle is watching the dogs, so hopefully everything will heal properly and quickly. Got 2 more px at work and then I get to leave! YEAH!!! Perhaps I'll pack this aft.:wink:

Hi Connie; Congrats on your decision... I am Canadian too and was also self pay, although I had my surg done in Toronto. Who is doing your work in Mexico? Who is looking after you for AFTER CARE and FILLS??? Make sure you have someone lined up for afterwards. All us "Lucky 7's" were banded almost 2 years ago! So we are ol' broads... :wink:

Crap, lost my post

Karri and Janet; I am so glad you had a wonderful visit with one another! Janet, I bet you cryed at the airport huh??? Phyl has booked her flight to Buffalo so she's coming now for sure. TWO more days until France, I think I am in denial... havn't started to pack yet!! Denise, HUGS G.F. teenagers can really test your metal... Oh my it brought back the time I caught my DD smoking MJ late at night behind the house with a GF.. I was really angry!! Totally lost it and yelled for hours straight!! Also curtailed her activities for a good long time too. Phyl; Good for you, get at those damn Doctors... I'd bet they'd be in there lickety split if it was THEIR knees!!! You go girl! Karla, you sound like such a nice soul, wish you were coming in July.... I'd love to meet you. Well all details for France now complete, emailed with CAR yesterday and got the directions to the house and all the house rules... its going to be so fun!!!

You two look awesome! Karri, Mommy was right! You do look good in some Colour!! Nice choices. Look how tall Karri looks compared to MOMMY! Too funny, she must take after her DAD's side of the family:biggrin: Kari; YEAH, you finaly are geting your Sh1t together and applying for the passport... That means you ARE coming!!! What a bout your hubby???? OMG my DH is on a "pitch & purge" agenda today, tossing out all kinds of stuff that we've accummulated in the basement.... its only 9 years overdure, but at least he's doing it!

O.k., now no worm eating!!! They have WAY too many calories!!! Phyl, why don't you fly to Buffalo, visit with your sisters and then drive up to W.B. It would be about a 3 - 3 1/2 hour drive... 2600 miles is a hell of a lot of driving, that's for sure. I am sure you'd have to allow for FIVE days to cover that distance... You'll figure something out, I just know it!

Janet/Karri: You guys are too funny! Yeah, Janet does run a tight ship..LOL 136.5 lbs@@ are you kidding me?

Breaky: 1 Poptart 200 cal, Lunch: 1 ff SS yogurt, 1 serv of SF/FF Choc. pudding, cool whip light. Dinner? Will be steak 3-4 oz., baby potatoes, broc/cauli salad ... and Dump Cake for dessert...I know not the BEST dessert, but I may be full and not eat any anyways... Company for dinner tonight and tomorrow night.. going over to SparkPeople to figure it all out cal wise.. Janet & Karri: Enjoy your VISIT, we'll totally understand if we don't hear from you for a couple days.LOL DH Change of Command parade went well yest. He is so glad to be retired!!!! It all went well, wine and desserts afterwards... Not a great cal day... but not a PIG OUT.

what is up with the site today?

Oh Sh!t!!! What bastards... don't they know how much you've already lost and how fantastic you are doing??? I cannot beleive that you are a high risk for surgery now! You've been able to cut out some of your HBP meds and ev erything.... crap, crap, crap. I am sending you HUGS as I know how disappointed you must be feeling right about now. (((HUGS))) My Scale was not cooperating with me this a.m. although I hadn't had my BM yet :smile2: so I know I'll be lower... but I went to my quilt class, rushed home, dyed my hair, ran to the hairdressers WET, she did a fresh cut, had a French manicure, dashed to the bank - got out my BIG diamond dinner ring... got my slinky black dress ready for Peter's big night tonight. Its his Retirement Mess Dinner on the Military base. Kids are coming up for this dinner and parade tomorrow... GOD, I don't know what I'll wear tomorrow!!! But tonight is covered! Drinking lots of tea today, hopeing to flush through a lot of 'water' weight today for the big w/i in :cool2:the morning!!!

Oh Phyl that is just fine!! Now Peter will be disappointed that he won't get to meet Earl... but we will get another GIRLY to visit with... you better warn her how CRAZY we all are!! Sounds like a wonderful road trip! Good luck with your PS hunt.. that'll be exciting... look at all the surg. you have to choose from WOW

Ha,ha,ha...!!! :ihih: ICK ON A CARDIO EXERCISE TO EDIT ITMINUTESCALORIES BURNED Cycling 10-11.9 mph (bicycling, biking, bike riding) 60 ;470

Janet; Oh I wish I enjoyed cleaning like you do! I only "do it" when I have company coming and I'm under pressure LOL I can always find something I'd rather do, even exercise is better than CLEANING ha,ha... Oh and you are so right about the friendships that we've made since banding. When I talk about you guys to other people, they say "where did you meet all these friends"... I say on the internet GASP!!! Its o.k. my friends aren't into kiddie porn and I am not 12 yrs old... They are REAL people whom I have lots in common with. I remember last summer when I said I was driving to Wisconcin to meet up with Linda.... people couldn't beleive it. ANd look at how much FUN we all had. Linda was a doll and we yaked all the way across 2 states. I can't wait to meet Kari(Michigan) as I got so close to meeting her last summer. ANd VEGAS was such a blast... can't wait for the N.O. Cruise and then we can all meet Denise in person! How cool will that be. AND you get to meet up with Karri this weekend. You will have quality MOM and DD time :ihih: Gotta buy some pantyhose today and get dressed up fussy for tomorrow night. It's my DH Mugging OUT mess dinner in celebration of his retirement... so dress is formal. I didn't want to buy anything as I plan on losing more weight befoare my DD wedding in Oct. SO a girl at work brought in 3 formal dresses from home for me to 'borrow' .... they look pretty good.. I send pictures I promise!! Have a great day ladies, and STEPHANIE and KARLA stay out of trouble on your gettaway:lol:

YEAH Karla; whoo-hoo , One for our NORTHERN Team!!! Weighed this am. no BM and no change in the scales. But I am optimistic for tomorrow! I rode my bike again today to work, learned two things this a.m. 1) Keep my mouth closed while biking ( I swallow extra protien YUK) 2) Don't wear lip gloss ( the bugs stick to it) Working on my first px of the day, the ALARM goes off! WTF I know I turned the alarm off properly, so I don't know what's happening there. Although it could be the Dentists office next door? Good food day yesterday; but ate 2 choc puddings (SF, FF)

2:30 havn't had my lunch yet ---- I AM HUNGRY!!

Ah, that's a bummer Phyl. Earl not coming to Canada? Peter was kinda looking forward to meeting Earl and Mel.. SInce Earl and Peter both have their military careers in common PLUS they FRUGALNESS!! They could have big debates on the economy and how to pinch pennies in retirement!! LOL But if you do come alone will you fly? I can arrange for a walker for you to use while you're here if you need. Just let me know o.k.? My house is a ranch style so the only stairs are to the lower rec room and other alternate bedrooms... But I'll put you on the main floor. I have 2 guest bedrooms upstairs (main level) and two more downstairs... Girls; the 5 lb challenge is NOT over yet. We all have until Friday morning o.k. if you can't make the 5 lbs that's o.k. it the getting there and the NEW habits that are important. I didn't get any exercise yest, but I'll remedy that tonight.
