TENILLE

OMG I HAVE MISSED SO MUCH. It is going to take days to catch up. I went to my reunion over labor day weekend then I came home and got strep throat. I was in bed for 3 days and then my 5 yrs old got it. It is so misrable. However on a good note I did lose a couple of pounds from not being able to eat. I would not recommend this option though. Well Im going to try to get caught up on the posts. I hope everyone is doing well. Only 3 more weeks till my 1st fill so I think I just might make my first goal of onederland by Halloween.

I am heading out of town in about and hour. We are going to my family reunion in Waxihachi for the Labor day weekend. Well I hope everyone has a great Weekend and any of you traveling be very careful. Bye!!

misty that is great!! You will do good. I am excited for you.

I couldnt help noticing that we all have alot in common. We all have young children and we are all in our 30's. My son is in his terrible twos and my daughter just started kindergarten this year. I will be so glad when all this weight comes off so I will be able to have the energy to keep up with them and get on the floor and play w/ them comfortably.

Dr. carter is the only one I know that waits that long for a fill. As far as pain meds just talk to him about it because he gave me tordal which is basically like taking ibroprofin but my friend just had surgery w/ him and the tordal did not work for her and she got him to give her some syrup w/ codene in it.

Welcome Citygirl. You will do wonderful. If you have any ??? we are all here to help.

At least you dont have to wait 3 months like me . Actually I was sneaky though and got it moved up to 2 1/2 months which is 10 wks. I AM REALLY HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME TRYING NOT TO EAT ALL THE TIME. i AM SO HUNGARY.

I am 4 wks out from surgery. I love dr. carter but I dont like that he waits 3 months to do your first fill. I am a very impatient person and I am starting to get hungary all the time. They say that is the indicator you need a fill. Every one else seems to be getting their fill or getting ready for it ( the ones that had surgery at around the same time as me.)

Is anyone else having problems w/ not drinking with their meals. This is driving me completely insane. I think it is the hardest part of this whole process. When I eat I feel like I need to drink something in between. And I am so thirsty after I eat it is hard to go an hour. Also are we supposed to be sipping our drinks still. Because when my hour is finally up I just gulp down that smooth tea...he he

tell me more about this cruise i dont know anything about???

Oh my gosh I am so excited I have lost another 1lb that puts me at 15 lbs lost. Yeah!! We had our 1st annual block party last night. There were Desserts and chips and dips everywhere. I was suprised I was not the least interested in any of it. I could barely finish my hamburger patty. Afterwards we went over to my next door neighbors house to check out there new nintindo Wii and oh my was it fun. We did tennis and boxing and oh what a workout it was like going to an aerobics class. We are definetly getting one it is fun and Great exercise. The only thing is I have asthma and I will probably be needing my inhalor before because it did aggravate it a little. ha ha PS: I accidently posted ( is that a word) this to the wrong thread so I had to copy and paste it back to this one. HE HE

If it is mexican food then I will get fajitas but stay away from the tortillas. If it is a steak house then maybe side order of soup and baked potato.

Hey everyone, I have been busy working and sleeping so I havent been on in a few days. I work 12 hour rotations at the hospital so when I am on I rarely get on computer as I only have a few hours to spend w/ my kiddos. Wow in just a few days I feel like Ive missed so much. It took me forever to read all the posts. Everyone seems to be doing great. I made a wonderful squash cassorole tonight that was very soft I think it would make a great mushie for those of you still on mushies. I got it out of the Blue denim cookbook. It has squash, cheese, egg, milk and cracker crumbs in it. If anyone needs the recipe and you dont have a blue denim cookbook then email me and i will get it to you. Today I went to the country club to take my kids swimming and decided to make an appearance in my swimsuit. I am still wearing my maternity one from 2 years ago but hopefully that will a change next summer. I still feel very uncomfortable getting out of the water like everyone is watching me. There does not seem to be very many overweight people there swimming. Usually I just go and watch but today was so hot and since im feeling a little better about my appearance I decided what the heck. I cant wait till I can get in a real bathingsuit. Well have a nice night everyone. Until next time...

oh my gosh yes im in the same boat as the both of you. OUCH!!! I have been taking MOM for several days now.

Ok 1st off I am so excited they moved my 1st fill from Oct 24th to Oct 2nd. I would love to have it alot sooner but that is better than what it was right? Also I weighed today and I have lost another pound which puts me at 14 pounds now. Yeah!! My first goal is to lose 20 LBS by Labor day so I am not that far off. I just might make it. Well I am heading off to work now so I will talk to you all later.

Househuntress- I talked to you a while back ( around the 1st of july) well i have had my surgery w/ dr. carter on the 24th of july. what I was wondering is why he waits 90 days for a fill. They are not scheduling me for my first fill till end of oct. I am so hungery i dont want to wait that long. I figured I might call him tomarrow but i dont want to be a bug..

I was banded by dr. carter on the 24th of july. He is great. Good luck you will do great. Be sure and ask how long it will be till you are filled because they told me 90 days which is excessive compared to everyone else.

I did get my pic up. I am really not that computer illiterate but i am slowly learning. Thanks to everyone for all the help. You guys are great!

does anyone know how i get my profile pic to show up on my posts?

ribearty- why cant you bend over. Cazulay- great job!!

I am not sure but I am going to call them again on Monday and ask that ?? I go to Dr. Carter in Arlington.
