Tina, I live in Graham I would love to get together with you. I will be banded on Thursday! I work out at the South Hill Curves M-W-F I lived on SouthHill all my life until 3 yrs ago when I moved to Graham!

I want to wish everyone in MAY a happy banding day! I will be banded on Thursday! I have been on a liquid diet since last Monday and have lost a great amount of weight this past week. Tomorrow is weigh in an I know they will be surprised. Now I'm getting from some people, do you think you really need the surgery? if you have done so will. THATS my problem. I can lose weigh easily. But the second I go off I will gain it all back in a month. I am really scared to every do that again. That is the reason I need extra help with the band tool. I am so looking forward to Thursday. I am hoping to be one of the first on the schedule. My Dr. does not tell you until you get to the hospital. So good luck to you all and I will be thinking of you all this week. DeAnn

We are at $3.05 in Washington ~ :think

:usa2: Please count me in too. Thanks Information on its way!

I will be banded on May 4th I've been on a week of liquids. I was given the name of this company from our patient advocate to order my protein from. It is good. so far I have had, Tropical,chocolate,strawberry,vanilla. www.Enjoyhealth.com it is in Seattle area.

Prayers sent for them and their family

I'm in too! 322 but I'm on clear liquids I will do it ,

Nope no photoshop! just lots of water and fertilizer!

thank you ! I love it. The only problem in on the other side of the fence is a Dog Kennel. And it is noisy. It makes it really hard to enjoy it all the time. I keep hoping the land sells and houses get built . I can deal with people better than dogs barking 24/7! ( sorry been working out side today can you tell I've had enough of dogs barking!) any way! I do get humming birds. I have added three more feeders and I have to fill them at least once a week. I would like to find room to plant more stuff but I don't want it to be overcrowded. We move here about 3.5 yrs ago and it was all wooded. So we have done a lot. I'm out planting my dahlias today. We are reseeding our front yard tonight. It took a beating with the weather this winter. Were hoping to have it in shape by June. As for Kassey Kane Lane..... Uh you should see our garages.. My DH has a complete Nascar garage ! Most of the stuff is Big E and Little E as he is a big fan of both. Our other garage is done with his classic cars, we have several Chevy's that we show. I am sure getting excited about next week. That is one reason I'm trying to get as much done as I can now. I don't know how I will feel afterwords to do yard work. You wont be that far behind me will you! how exciting!.

LuLuLacy, I too will be having surgery on May 4th. I am so exicted.

I thought I would share my yard in Beautiful Washington, These were taken last June. I spend a lot of time in it. today I will plant my dahlias. And get more planted pots going. This week has been beautiful here so a lot has gotten done.

:bananadoggywow: Congrats to you on your weight loss! that is great, your daughter is darling!.

Maybe someone could give me some ideas. good luck with the CLOVER:faint: DeAnn
