Ok we have be silent for a couple of days...I know I have too but I have been having some problems and we are all still sick...so needless to say last night I was in bed and asleep @ 8:30 last night. How bad is that. :faint: I am so excited about seeing everyone tomorrow.... Have a great friday..I have a long weekend we are off on monday and I just love 3 day weekends!!!!! TGIF!!!!!!

Anige - I am waiting to hear from you.... Girl you are going to OK!!!

I think there is a Dr near Winston Salem that Sherrie and Kathy use for their fills. I am sure they will chime in soon... Welcome to the board...if you are ever here for any extended time we meet once a month in the charlotte area. We would love for you to join us.

I just saw this...I am glad to hear she is doing better. I will still keep you and your family in my prayers.... Hope you enjoy the rest of your visit there.

So weird I posted I wanted to be in and now the post is gone...Ok I really want to be in it.

Ok so it just the norm group? Karen, Angie, Melissa, Dianne, Kim and maybe Kathy? Jennifer we didn't scare you off did we? Please come if you can. Did I forget anyone? Is Denika coming this month? Court can you make it? I know I am forgetting some..oh Jamie?? Come on LADIES....lets get going and get together. It's alot of fun. Come and have some soup w/ us. We are support our girl Angie who will be on liquids saturday so she will come we have all agreed to eat soup w/ her. So snack a little before you come...haha just kidding.

Karen that is great...hopefully you can get it all by tuesday...I am praying you will be banded in March...if not banded you will have a date!!!!!!

That is where I think my problem is not tracking my food qty. So I am sure my calories are off. I need to measure again.... I think I can eat too much right now....but if I am still loosing I guess I am not going to complain to much.

Happy Valentines day everyone.... We are going out for dinner some simple...It's a rule I don't cook on this day. Has been for the last 6 years why change it now. haha...It's different now that I have child...Valentines day activites take place later in the eveing...haha.. Angie no that's not TMI...your right we are friends. Melissa girl get out of that funk you are in....stay off that scale. Are you eating enough calories? I know when I was filled too tight and was only getting in like 800 - 900 calories I was actually gaining weight. I know that sounds weird but that is what was happening. Dianne girl eat like there is no tomorrow...I wish I could some days. I too have been in a food rut...I want everything. I have been doing better but I don't know. I don't know if I am in a food rut or an emotional rut. Oh what to do what to do.... Alright ladies have a good day...get some kisses in. Tell your man you love and don't forget the kids also..even the furry pets.

Alright Kathy come on girl...you can come..eat some soup and chat for a little bit. You will miss us if you don't come. I think chicken salad would be ok....Dr. V puts us on a 2 day liqiud & 2 mushie after a fill..I haven't had any problems in the past.

Well you know I am very happy for you!!! Things are on the move again for you!!!

Actually Dianne suggested that yesterday when I was on the phone w/ her. So 11 is fine with me as well. I have an 8:30 hair appt in Midland so I might be a few mins late...but I will be there... Kathy why don't you bring your DD with yo so you don't have to go all the way home.

Everyone is so different....It's too early for you to get discouraged. I for one noticed that I loss more when I stay around 1200 calories. When I was filled to tight and only getting in @ 800 calories I actually gained weight. Go Figure!!! Hang in there follow your doctors orders and it will get better.

Melissa the girls look great...Loved the pictures. The cake looks yummy. I to do them but don't like to because of the mess and all the extra crap you have to have. I found a cake guy that does what I want....and he is really cheap!!!!

Eileen - how far from Charlotte are you? We are meeting on the 18th in Charlotte and there are several of Dr. B's patients that will be there. You can look under the NC forum for a thread Feb 18....it's going to be fun.

Sorry Court this thread has really been hijacked...but it's been fun.

Married or not can't we look...I never said in my vows that I was blind and wouldn't look at another man...rofl ;)

I am so glad you found us.... I know it's frustrating - the waiting is the worsest believe me we all know. Hang in there. I do have to say it took UHC only 3 days to approve mine. So keep positive thoughts going that way. I know each policy is different but as long as your policy covers WLS you will have no problems. I am not sure what is in Cary but if you ever want to venture this way we would love for you to. We have Sherrie who comes from up that way somewhere. She don't make it each month but she did come and visit us once...I hope we didn't scare her off. There is a Feb Chat thread going on it's just a way for us to keep up w/ everyone so please feel free to jump in at any time. Again Welcome!!!!

Dianne did you get your house clean? That is so funny I hear of people doing that all the time. My mom was one of them. My granny on the other hand said no way that's what I pay her to do. haha.... How are you doing? I read your post the other day and I love your outlook. Hang in there girl it will all be behind you soon...We will be here w/ you every step of the way. Angie....I know you what you mean about not being able to eat right and the exercise...I feel like a big old flumpy person. I do have to say I am making better food choices and logging them is helping me out. Now I just need to measure again. Exercise...is there hope for me probably not. Ok now are you feeling better? Sickness is no fun... Melissa - I want to see the pics of the girls...I am sure they are really nice. I always spend too much money on them and I only have one child. UGH... Kathy where are you? Are you ok? Karen how are you doing? We need to do lunch again...next week? Taking Curtis back to the ENT today for his follow up. I really hope it's working. Other then that my FIL is doing good. Getting better each day... Happy Thursday everyone.....

You ladies are craking me up...I will tell you who has to cutest surgeon..My son. haha. His surgeon is just plan eye candy. He is so nice. Ok just wanted to add my 2 cents in. It's great that everyone can talk about what is going on...it does help people feel better. I do think it's crazy they make you pay all the fees upfront. It just seems weird but as long as it just the first one I would have to say I would probably grin and bare it and go on....Good Luck ladies on those upcoming fills...I hope they do the trick for you. Angie you still amaze me doing so well w/ no fill for over what 7 almost 8 months. You rock girl. I have to do shout out to Dr. V - he may not be the best looking thing in the world but I like him. I think our area has some great doctors..we are really lucky to be able to have the option to choice think of the states out there that don't have anyone. So lets hear it for the NC docs!!!!!

Oh I love it....I have a citrus seasoning that I got at sams for it. It's great. If you lived closer I would give you a little to try. It's yummy. Big Paul I think I am going to have to try it that way as well... Never thought of putting salsa on it.. I just love new ideas..
