Quiet weekend around here. I hope that everyone is quiet because of some fun activities and lots of family time. I got on the scale today and I have been consistantly losing .5 a day it seems. So we will see what wednesday's weigh in brings. I am hoping for a really strong number. :Banane56: Hugs to all my GFG'ers. May all your scales read lower.

I know that when I was pregnant and I was craving something, the doctor said to give into it, as long as it was along healthy lines. I couldn't eat all the chocolate and potato ships I wanted. But he believed that cravings were a way of the body needing something. Women who crave iron during their pregnancies though have been known to get such strong cravings they eat weird things, like raw liver, dirt, and laundry detergent.

There are no deaths related to the band. So you have no worries. There ARE deaths directly related to other weight loss surgeries.

YAY!!!!! That is AWESOME! I am so happy for you! And I think it is really cool to start your journey!

walk for the next 6 weeks, then hire a personal trainer. Heck, I would even wait 8 to 10 weeks on the personal trainer and just test your body for those 2 to 4 weeks after you are given the all clear. A personal trainer may want you to jump into a full routine, and that might not be good for your still healing body. Just take it slow!!

I will continue the updates tonight. I just wanted to jump in and post how many days till Christmas. Barbara, I am so sorry I forgot the PM. Just post here from now on and I won't forget :rofl: I will update the wish list tonight, so I will add those who want to be added, and get in the additional weigh ins. I am actually off to target to do a little christmas shopping myself!! WOOHOO!!! I am also on my way to the craft store. Autumn is coming and I have some Thanksgiving crafts to do before we move into Christmas.

149 days till Christmas!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat:

:bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: My mom came into town yesterday, and omlettes are her fave Breakfast. I knew that with the kids, a quick breakfast that is fun was in order!! We made these this morning and they were FABULOUS!! We used the Glad double zip freezer bags, which are made to also go in boiling Water and in the microwave, and they turned out perfect!! I grated some cheese, chopped up a red, green and yellow bell pepper, and some on the vine tomatoes, and my egg I made with 3 egg whites, and one yolk from one of the eggs. It was so yummy!! And my mother thought it was a fabulous quick and no mess way of making an omlette. And we used paper plates, so in the end we had no dishes except for the forks! The potof water was dumped out and set out to dry.

Did you have the fat free kind? Cause that type is NASTY! But the 2% is really yummy, and has a wonderful smooth flavor.

Definitely full. I thought it was a wierd feeling too. And I was unsure of it. But now that I know what it is I go very slowly or that tightness can turn to pain!!

You are going to LOVE Dr. Sanchez! Sherri and I were banded on the same day (July 10th) by Dr. Sanchez, and it was the best experience for me! I wish I could use him for all of my medical issues LOL He is fabulous, his staff is fabulous, and I could not have asked for an easier time with recovery! I feel so supported by him and his staff, and I know that if I have any problems I will be well taken care of.

oh my that sounds very good. I think I need to go shopping!! LOL

Damn, hit away girl! Nothin wrong with flirting, with either sex IMHO. Doesn't mean it goes anywhere, and I swear it makes you more confident. LOL I have caught the flirt bug HARDCORE since I started my journey, and the band for some reason has also doubled my confience. I am a danger to myself and others now. LOL

oooo we're in! We'll bring the scotch and I am pretty sure that Pnut has some wine left over. Well....maybe she doesn't. LOL Congratz Tricia!!! That is awesome! I hope all the headaches are gone and that the closing goes really smoothly!

Ok, snuck some time in. The wish list is updated! If you do not see a loss total for this week, it is because you either just joined, or you have not weighed in. There are a lot of people who have not weighed in. Lets see those weights people!!

My mother just came into town, so I will be updating the board tonight. Y'all have time still to get your weigh-ins in. Good luck to everyone. and WELCOME JP! I will add you to the board when I do the updates!! **EDIT** Scratch that! Updates are made!!

My mother just got into town, so I will be oing the board updates this evening. Sorry for the delay. If you have not gotten in your weigh-in, do so now!! Merry christmas in July!!

150 days till Christmas!!! :) :Banane48: :huggie: :drum: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat:

Here is what I suggest. Get a full grown og from a shelter. Look for one that exhibits housebroken tendancies. the volunteers can help you find this. Also look for a dog that is maybe not a hyper type of dog. When you find the perfect dog, buy a crate. Make sure you get this before, or on your way home with the new dog. Introduce him to it, and make sure that you have treats for rewarding him. You want the dog to be crate trained for the time that you are gone. Are you close enough to school to come home for lunch once a day to let him out? If not, its ok. Alot of dogs go 8-9 hours during the day in their crate, but just make sure you get home and let him out. Another idea is setting up a kennel in your backyard, with a bucket of Water, a dog house, and an area for him to go potty. These are your two choices. A puppy will NOT be able to handle you being gone all day for quite some time. I suggest you steer away from getting a puppy. If you do decide to get a puppy, you will nee to put him in day care till he is about 1 yr old so that he gets the exercise and time outsie that he needs in that first year.

On this particular cruise is all the food and drink gratis? Just food? If the drinks are not then I am bringing my liquor cabinet LOL I am SO excited! Rob is looking for a few good men to smoke cubans with and enjoy some fine single malt scotch. And you will find us dancing at the club just about every night! We love going full formal on the formal nights, and will be in tuxedo and dress for those nights. While only do a little bit right? Besides, this is the cruise for us to shine on! To show the world how much we have changed! I can't wait to go shopping for cruise wear!

OMG KATHY!!! That is so cool!!! What a way to close out July! I am so happy for you, and here is a HUGE hug!!!

lol thats funny!

you know, speaking of Schwan's... in washington we used to have milk men. We had elivery every tuesday, an at the rate this household goes through milk it would sure be nice if we could have milk elivery again. But I have no idea how to find a milk man, or a dairy delivery service in this area. I am in florida, if anyone has any guesses.

I first saw that pic before I had children. I swore up and own I was not going to have children. Now I have taken many of those types of pictures myself. LOL Kids are evil, but the best kinds of evil LOL

I just want my Schwan man. :huggie: i ask him all the time when they will put him on the menu. ehehehe. I do have to agree that it is easier when I ahve shwan food in the house. So much easier to cook!
