Happy Valentines Day.. The buffet was just ok. I actually just at the chicken and had a few bites of pasta and a few bites of creme brulee. Hope everyone has a nice night.:kiss2:

Good Morning everyone. I am going out for an Italian Buffet for lunch..lol...talk about no restriction Eileen! Boy I have zero. I am looking forward to feeling the way I did after surgery....kind of...My GF is having the RYN on the 1st she starts her 2 week preop tomorrow so of course were going out to EAT!!!! In an hour I gotta hurry.... Pat- That baby is so cute!! hoe old is he? and whats his name? Nice car too. Betty- anything new with the Job? Beanie- how are you feeling? Nice flowers and very pretty bracelet is that a Brighton? We have a Brighton store near us..dangerous place when I'm in a spending mood! Zan- I do miss the big snow storms. We have a hot tub and when we lived in High Bridge we would go in the HT and get real hot then jump out and sled down the hill in the back. We would stay warm but on the way back up the hill we would freeze. Of course some drinking was involved for me to have the guts to do this, but it sure brought a lot of laughs. Patty I'm praying for you. Glad you BP is normal! Hugs to you Sherry- How are you doing. I felt so bad I didn't get on here on Sunday to say all the nice things that I was thinking for you. Anne- It sounds like you did a Dianne!!! LOL Thankgoodness there was no damage. Well I'm to the shower and then lunch and some work. Our magazine just went into producton so I pretty much hang low for a few weeks. I do a little work but not the usual amount. Maybe I'll make my Walmart trip today. My GM comes on Thursday so I have been cleaning the closets! lol maybe nesting a little. By the way Lucy is a panic! I am having such fun with her.

Yesterday B-PS graham crackers and milk. L-toco chip and dip D-Mac cheese hamburger casserol S-glass of milk and bag of CC Cookies oh yeah of course kisses!!! Today ( not a go start ) B-Cinnamon raisin english muffin and already 4 kisses! L-Italian Buffet

I bet you'll get a date very soon. My GF got approved and had a date within a week. They called her yesterday and she's starting her liquids tomorrow. So I'm sure things will go quick for you. I'm excited for you!

Melissa, If I don't have a Peanut Butter patty this year I may go nuts! Nothing like those mint Cookies or the other good ones with the caramel coconut ones! Ok count me in for 1 of each. How much are they? I have to start my liquids on Sunday so I will enjoy Saturday. Kim, I am eating almost as much as a real person...Urgh...I know its the 3 week liquid stage thats got me doing this. I thought I must have gained but I am staying at 222 thank goodness!!!. I have been doing all the no's for bandsters. Eating and drinking with meals, eating faster than 20 minutes. I have to admit I am enjoying it! My GF is having RYN on March 1st. Today is her last lunch she starts her liquids tomorrow so today we are going out for Italian buffet for lunch. I am going to enjoy every bite! Happy Valentines day Anyone doing anything special?

Sounds good to me. Kathy I have a friend who is going to Dr, Kuri in March. She on't be able to meet on Saturday though. I told her how happy you've been.

Which thread was the hottie one? That was crakin me up!

Great pics! Beautiful girls!!!

OK I may have to bring Lucy with me on Saturday to meet you all!!! She is just the cutest!!!

You guys are all great! I love coming here and of course NC. I hardly go look at the other threads because of all the negative stuff. SOME people really need to relax...need I say more!! Sherry-How ya doin? Have you made your trip to Walmart yet? I have to always do that when ever I'm going anywhere. You better believe I will be there this week! I just gave away a bath rob I had gotten for the hospital. I got rid of it right before I found out I needed it agian. So I guess it's to Walmart again to get another. The exciting thing this time is that is will be a lot smaller! My husband told people! I still won't let him live it down. I refuse to EVER tell him how much I weigh again! Telephone, telegraph, telehubby..... How is the snow?It has been cold and rainy hear all day. I have to tell you all that Lucy is the best thing for me right now. She is just making me laugh and smile all the time! She chases the cat it is the cutiest thing to watch. I am so glad I got her when I did. You knwo I never carry cash, and that day I had cash. She was $60 and I had it!! Must have been a God thing, because she just has made all of us smile a lot, Except Sandy! Now for Clifford! I just heard that one a few months ago from one of the teens in my small group bible study. I thought I was going to die laughing! What a perfect name for it!!! OK I'm off to bed. Sherry are you staying over night? I am still planning on going to NJ the weekend of March 17th. I will be in Clinton. Not sure if I'm flying or driving yet. The drive would be by myself, and I just don't think I want to do that in the winter. sleep tight gang.

Everyone is differen't. I was in for 2 nights Had it on a Monday, Saturday we had company. I didn't do anything but I was fine to sit and talk and laugh. I took 2 weeks, but a week and a half later I was really fine.

The naked man was not real..lol..he was morphine indussed...lol...(Gosh I hope!!!) But he was naked... I was also on a rollercoaster that day, maybe thats why the naked man was holding onto the doorway..hummm, better the doorway than...oh man..I better go....

LOL They crack me up! Always happening at the worst time. I have noticed I get them more than usual. Can't say it has to do with anything though.

LOL Congrats on being a top poster girl!!!

B-I can't believe this...Captain crunch! Yup! Haven't had a bowl of that in years!!!! L-Tomato soup, crackers and PB 5 kisses 4 choc 1 real!:kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: D-

You guys are all cracking me up!! Congrates Melissa on your fill. Ok now comes the truth as to why I'm doing this all over again.....I saw a naked man in my hospital doorway..yup some of you may remember....he was a bit old, (actually I remember lots of grey hair everywhere) so I'm doing it over again hoping it will be a young hottie this time..... Couldn't tell if he was a Dr. or not... I'll let cha know

Thanks Denika

Welcome, Us NC folks are great! Hope you can make the drive.

Ahh another NJ girl?...I used to me... Well congrats on your date. I am suprised you got a date before all your stuff was in. I'm sure if it changes it won't change that much. Good luck

Hey Diane, And welcome to bandland. You'll love it! I love it so much I'm doing it again!! I spend 2 nights in the hospital. Most people go home after the first night but it is becoming more common to go home the same day. I wore comfy sweatlike pants. Soft bra, no wire, thats for sure... I would bring pillows for the car ride to put on either side of you to help you feel comfy. Heated seats would be nice. You will most likely recline and then sit up. I suggest getting out and walking during the ride 2-3 times just to stretch a bit. I have no idea about the motor cycle. The pain isn't bad at all. I was sore by my port area, but I remember thinking I can't believe how little pain there is. The band has changed me life. I'm so excited about having the chance to have it. You will love yours.

Melissa, thats a bummer, I'm sure she will be fine, maybe shes just taking a break from growing. Angie, Yuck, so sorry to hear everyone is sick. I've got chills cold feet, and a headache today. Kelly hasn't felt good all week. Kim-I did get most of the cleaning done..lol..it is funny. I will be going crazy for the next week because my Gandmother is cming next Thursday. I have to clean extra because...... I have a date...February 21st. 7:30 Am have to be there at 5:30. They wanted to do it the 16th but thats the day she's coming. I'm hoping and praying that Clifford will come next week rather than the 21st! That would really stink! Ok so I'm worried about a few things..stupid things... 1. What if he can't put the band in!!! No reason for this thought, I know where it is coming from, but it's there, the fear of waking up without a band! If thats the case I want the by-pass..I Know I know.... 2. Lucy, I'm am the main Mommy for her! She is pretty good with going out, but thats because I watch her almost every second. Plus I have her on a real stricked eating schedual. I know she'll live..... So thats about it. I did find out today that someone from my church is going to MX in March to get the band!! I have to call her and invite her to our lunch. I hope she'll come. 2 more friends are having the B-P I guess thats why it's on my mind. I'm taking a nap now....

Bene glad to hear your doing well. I can't believe how long a post you were able to write! I'm not on drugs and I can't remember all that stuff! Eileen- You crack me up! Hello everyone else, I'm feeling dizzy headache and tired today! I have bible study to night which I hate to miss, but I think I'm going to stay home. One of the girls is going to India in a few weeks to get her daughter! Her name is the same as hers. We are sll so excited for her and her DH DH is the youth pastor at our church, so we have all been praying for this for a long time. So that is the only reason why I would go, but I guess that would be selfish on my part wouldn't it. I'll see what the nap does. Ok so hear is the scoop....February 21st 7:30 AM....yup just found out this afternoon. OK so smack me now pls because I actually have gotten this new fear..are you ready...my fear is that for some stupid reason he will not be able to put the band back in! I'm I nuts or what! So in the past 2 days I have found out that 2 of my friends are having the by-pass, so what does my head start thing...yup...that I should tell the dr, that if he can't do it to just do the by-pass. I mentioned it to the nurse today and I know she thought I was nuts. She said there is no reason why he won't be able to do it. Oh so here is the other thing. My Grandmother (what is the letters for that one) she is coming on the 16th. So she will be here for the surgery. I am a bit nervous about doing everything before she comes. I'm also worried, (another stupid worry) that Lucy, the puppy, will get table food and move backwards in her potty training while I'm recouping. So no wonder why I have chills and a head ache. Oh OH there is another thing (suprised) Clifford, (The BIG RED DOG) better come sooner than later I do not want that in the hospital, Maybe thats why I feel the way I do right now. Ok I'm shutting up and taking a nap.

It will all come together when the time is right for you. Don't worry when youget your date it will be perfect.

Just got the call today. My new band will be in place on February 21st. They said if I wanted to do liquids for 2 days before it wouldn't be a bad idea. I am very happy it's not 2 weeks again! I can handle 2 days. I am so hungry :hungry: these days and eating to much although still not as much as before, which I'm greatful for. I can't imagine being full on a half a piece of fish! I can't wait!:clap2:

Ive never made fish in my life but I do like Tulapia. You all are making me hungry. Big Paul did you just have a fill, is that why your on liquids? Can you really only eat half a filet? So thats what a non leaking band is like!!! Cool!
