Vicki, I'm the same way too aboit carbs.. I'm still fighting with the same 5lbs up..then down..then up again :thumbup: I called today to see when my next appt was ( I thought it was tomorrow) when I called, I found out that I was'nt in the computer system at all :thumbup:?? I thought Tammy put me in on my last appt since she wrote out my appt card. Anyways..I was put back in to go for a fill with Dr. H. next week tuesday *hopefully*.

Hey Cnythia (LLL) ..You still around?? How are you doing? :redface:

I wish I could have stayed long enough to climb with y'all but I prolly would have past out! lol

Hey Val, i'm doing good:blink: Hey did you climb the tower the other day when we were at the Marina?? The wieghted hoop was fun:Banane28:! I have to get one of those:woot:

Hi AnnyBear, The picnic is going to be Sept 11th in Val's (Veronica) yard. You can bring anything you like...ex: hot dogs, baked chips, fruit, ice-cream The only time I noticed my port was when I would lean against something and press into it too much. I would forget all about it until I looked down and see the scars then I would be like... What da hell did I do! lol.. But It was all good after some of the wieght started coming off.

I'll bring a box of Turkey Burgers.

lolololol:lol:

It's gonna be fun Val. The Instructor is going to bring veils and coin scarves that jingle when we shake our butts

Hi Vicki, I'm glad you're feeling better..maybe that's all your pouch needed was a little rest.

LADIES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE BELLY DANCE CLASS, IT WILL BE THIS SATURDAY 31ST AT THE ALLENTOWN ATHLETIX (STARTS AT 6PM PLEASE COME ATLEAST 15 MIN EARLY). This is extremely short notice but if you're interested then email me for more info. :cursing: Yvette

Barbee, You're doing great! :drool::cursing:

The 11th would be better for me, but I probably could do the 12th.

Congrats Vicki on your weightloss! It's finally coming off! How dare that "youngun" say you gettin older:lol: I hope you told him you're not getting older but better! I think my restriction is good too, I just have to leave them carbs alone

Ok thanks Val for asking. I knew it was one of that they do'nt have a meeting.

I do'nt think they have a meeting in July.

UGI = Upper Gastrointestinal (pertains to the esophagus, stomach and the first part of the intestine) If they're doing a UGI series ..means you have to do a barium swallow test so they can see how the fluid is going down the esophagus, and past the band and first part of the intestine.

Cynthia, I hope you feel better. What other complications are you having?

Protein Bar Recipe Preheat oven to 350 4 egg whites 1/4 cp. of P. Butter crunchy 3 scoops of vanilla protein powder 1/2 cp. splenda or 8 pks. of trivia 2 cp. of oats 1/2 cp. of flax seed meal (if you like) mix well and put onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper so it won't stick. Bake 20-25 min. Let it sit for 30 min. Cut into 10 slices (I’m going to drizzle a little dark semi-sweet chocolate lightly over them) 145 cal, 13 carbs, 5g sugar, and 10g protein Looks like a good recipe..thought I'd share it.

After labor day would probably work best and it'll give you more time to heal.

That would be yummy on a hot like this. I like to use frozen fruit when I make my smoothies.. it tastes like a real milkshake. Enjoy that not-hungry feeling while you have it! :thumbup:

Do you feel any different having the sleeve? Was recovery more painful or about the same? Are you on liquids and if so, how long?

Hi Jen, Congrats on your "inbetweenguy"! Do you use a portable DVD player near the pool for the Water Aerobics cd? I must not be "growed-up" yet, went to the bar Sat night and had a good time burning them calories. I was dancing with three guys at once! lol ...don't know how that happened??? One minute I was dancing by myself ..the next, they had me surrounded ...I was scurrred lol! It was good time.

I could bring Turkey Burgers, and a ball to play volleyball. Maybe someone can bring a batmitton<sp?> set.

It's difficult. I'm trying to get back focused. I went to the Greek Festival and had some lamb, I loved it but my gallbladder did'nt...it messed with me for like 3 days. I might have to have it removed. Another setback:mad:

Cynthia, you are really doing it gurlfriend! Keep up the good work!!! :thumbup::waytogo:
