Here are a few pics from our Labor Day Camping trip.

I use Optisource chewable vitamins. They are available at Walgreens and are specially formulated for people who have had weightloss surgery.They are orange flavored and not too bad! http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=301120&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod403359

We are going camping with family & a friend. Even our Basset hound is going. Hubby & our hound just left, I am heading down in the am, unfortunately I have to work ten hours tonight. My weekend will officially start at 9am cst Saturday morning.

My sis lives 45 minutes north of GR in the Morley Stanwood/Howard City area. My folks and a lot of family live there too.

Thanks for sharing! I copyed and sent it via email to all my friends & family and printed a copy for myself! Thanks!

welcome to LBT! I am a former Michigander and just wanted to say Hi and welcome to LBT. What surgeon will be banding you? My sister lives in Michigan and is checking into lap banding. Thanks & Best of Luck!

Sorry for your delay in the process. But once your iron levels are good you will be banded. Now is a good time to stock up on protein shakes, powder protein, jello and all that stuff you will need. Plus start an exercise routine and practice not drinking with meals and follow the banster rules. Best of luck!

You and your sis should be very proud of your success! Congrats!

Your butterfly gift was from me. I had it sent from Collections Etc. they were suppose to include a gift note. Sorry for the confusion. I am glad you liked it! Maudeispam

We are still deciding. I think we will leave it up to our first "customers"!

Same thing here, could read and send PM's, but could not read any threads or post a thread. Glad to see things are up and running again!

Thank you to mychevygirl! I received a lovely inspiring card, a journal, a nice book and sugar free Almond Roca candies. Thank you and Happy Labor Day!

I haven't received anything yet. I sure my secret sam like their gift. They should have gotten it by now. I have a delivery confirmation. (It was shipped from Collection's Etc., just encase they forgot the gift message.)

My dh and I both work the O.N. or graveshift. DH works 5pm-3:30am and I work 11pm-9am. We generally sleep till 3pm then get up and eat our supper meal together. Then dh is off to work shortly there after. I then have a small bite to eat around 8pm and then off to work by 10:30. I am able to snack some at work, but I try to choose healthy snacks. I generally eat a yogurt for breakfast at work or oatmeal or something similiar (around 6am). I get home around 9:15am and then stay up till 10:30, then head to bed. Any one else work the graveyard shift and how do you eat and exercise and all that good stuff?

Great names! Love them. Hubby's driver is #6 Mark Martin and I like #88 Dale Jarrett. We also like #17 Matt Kenseth and #12 Ryan Newman.

Hubby and I are constructing a "bar" in our basement rec. room. We have Nascar stuff on the walls, a pool table, soon to a dart board & more. We need a "cool, eye & ear catching" name for our bar. Give me your suggestions! Thanks!

Here are some current pics of me. The one in pink was taken (8/12/06). The pic of me at the computer was taken in July 06, and the one of dh and me was taken 8/12/06. The one of me in red tank was taken in July 06 too.

Yes there are a few of us around. I was banded by Dr. Andrew Reynold's in Mitchell, SD (July 29, 2005). DH and I make our home in Mitchell too. Drop me a line sometime! Best of Luck on your journey!

Yes! I am willing and able to eat Smores! Plus DH and I love ro camp. I wish we had more time to do it though!

My gift should be on it's way. I got a shipping confirmation this morning from the company I ordered it from! It's headed SE of here!

I had/have a fatty liver. I had to be on a liquid diet two weeks prior to my surgery to shrink the size of my liver. But all went well. Best of luck to you!

I ended up writing a letter to the police dept. and have it in the mail today. It explains in detail everything that I have witnessed first hand since they moved in. Hopefully it does some good. I did point out we live in a school zone and school starts Aug. 21, and I afraid someone will get hurt or killed if this crazy disrepect continues. Thanks for all your input, I will let you know what happens!

That really pisses me off when people treat people badly because of their weight or other health problems. One part of me says "forgive & forget and they will get it in the end when judgment day comes", another part says kick him where it counts, either literally or find some of their flaws and expose them. Either way you need to let your feelings be known. Whether it is by letter, email, phone call or in person. There is no reason two grown men should be treating anyone like this, let alone their sister! Also is it possible they are jealous of your marraige, beautiful children and wonderful life? Best of luck to you on your journey and this deal!

(((HUGS))) back to you! I just got up 1/2 hour ago, checking my email, sipping my crystal light and trying to be quiet while dh sleeps. We both work the grave yard shift. Other than that just enjoying the nice breeze and the roar of Harleys as they fly down I-90 to Sturgis, SD.

Thanks for the great advice. I think I will try a little of each. Thanks!
