Orea, I will keep praying for you husband to find work soon. Maybe they will call Monday with good news. I am also glad you have restriction as well now. As for me I am hanging in there. My 1 year check up is on 7/6/09. My band anniversary is 07/02/09. I thought i would have lost more weight but 52 pounds is just as awesome.

Hi Everyone, I thibnk in the past some of you guys stated you chat on Face Book I just signed up How can I find you guys to add as friends. And I think someone said there are games. Can somone give me the down low on face book? I am doing well I have started working out with a trainer two days a week and my schedule recently switched to 9am - 6pm so it has been hard adjusting to the new sleep schedule. Meredith, Don't worry about the liquids the time will fly by fast for you.I am so happy for you! You go girl you can do it and we are here for you.

Long your pics are awesome you go girl. Peas - I am glad you sister is doing well. Are kids not the sweetest. Makes you wonder how we all survived growing up. My sister and I use to sit in the hatch back area of my parents car with our pillows and stuff and we made it to adult hood. Now if you breath wrong something might happen LOL at least that is what all the "experts" keep telling us. Well I am doing well just relaxing this weekend then back to the gringd on Monday. I hope everyone one is having a good weekend

My computer got some kind of virus on it so it is being worked on. SO this is a quick hello. I am doing well. unfornately we had some bad news on Memorial day a dear long time friend was killed in an auto accident so my hubby went to Texas to pay his respects.

It is a wonderful letter and I think a lot of people will get something out of reading it. This letter is so true but scary. I guess you are right food is like an abusive bastard!! I just love your attitude and friendship. You have helped me out so much. Thanks for being such a supportive person

Thanks so much for posting this!!! So when did you write this at the beginning of your new life?

Hello I am still here it has been still so crazy at work I have been pretty much working 10 hours each day this week since we are so short handed. I am doing well the pain went away finally I had a fill but I had not weighed myself yet. I have been doing alot of mindless eating this week since of all the stress. And if I must say alot of it was sliding stuff since I have been so focused on training 2 new people and taking a whole mess of calls each day I did not want t PB. I know I know not good but I am getting refocused. So I would love to join you on the challege. Also since my fill I now can not drink alot of Water at least not as quickly so I am struggling with that. i do better drinking with a small straw b/c i can't really gulp it. So this weekend i am going to set myself back up with foods that are better and bring them back to work with me. I used to do that then go lazy since I am not slepping wellright now But all in all I feel well and I am happpy. Also thank goodness my shift will change to 9am-6pm EST starting Monday whichis great b/c my 14yr old wants me to strating running with him when I get home which I have to say is fun but I mostly walkand jog. It is like bonding time for us. Well let me go to bed it is late talk to all soon.

Congratulations I am so excited for you!!!! It is so awesome to know there really is people at the insurance company that care. That is to cool. Again Congratulations!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Yeah 3 day weekend woo hoo!!!:thumbup:

It is kind of scary to think only 6 weeks left till it has been one year. I am checking in to say I am hanging in there. Let's keep strong everyone. We can all do it.

Yeah I am using my heating pad it does help. I can go back to work tomorrow. So I will actually go in at 9 instead of 11 since they are so shorted staff. What can I say I am a dedicated worker. :thumbup: I don't have Celebrex but I have another anti inflammatory so I will try that. I think it is Voltaren. I am feeling alot better. I am just taking it easy today since I am going back to work tomorrow. Thanks for the love.

JoannMarie, I feel a little better today. I go see my ob/gyn Dr today just to make sure everything is on track for the healing since the ER Dr didn't seem to really care to much. He gave me Demoral which gave me migranes. Like I so need another pain. LOL I guess all I can do is laugh even though is hurts like crap. Apples, I have never had that happen before you think you would get a warning instead of horrible pain from no where. Is that all you can do is wait? That stinks. I was trying to transfer to another job at my work and I hope this will not be used against me. Since my acting manager is being a jerk I woul not tell him exactley what it was. He is a man and he would not understand. IndioGirl, Thanks for the well wishes I hope I will feel better real soon. I need to get back to work. You always worry with the ecnomy and job market you don't want to give them any reason to let you go. Even though I have worked sick as a dog. This is the first time I have ever missed work. I am in less pain but now I have migraines because of the pain med they gave me in the hospital. oh joy Mrs Bubba, You know us woman have to deal with alot why do we get all the fun things. Like Cyts that rupture. I mean give me a break.

Hi All, I went to the Dr yesterday and he gave me .5cc in my band since I could eat a whole chicken breast and sometimes more. I have not had a fill since 02/09/09. I have bought some food items to get me back on track. So since I have not had alot going on. I woke up at 2am with such horrible lower abdominal pain in the pelvic area. I was sent to the hospital at 9am and I was just discharged 4:15pm. They though it was my appendix. So they did a CT which was not fun it took my like 2 hrs to drink the contrast stuff. It turn out I had a cyst that ruptured that I did not know I even had. They said I have Fluid in by Pelvic area and that is why I hurt like crap ( i could say something else). Anyway I am going to lay down I am supposed to go to my Gyno tomorrow to find out if everything is okay before I can go back to work. They said with time my body will absorb the fluid. I will check in with you guys later

Well just keep staying strong the scale will move soon. I just know it.

The funny thing is I do not weigh myself always I like to wait for the Dr so I do not get obsessed. It is just I feel crappy yes probably because the eating and exercising.

Okay all as you know I have been struggling. Anyways I have been so hungry like I am not restricted at all. Even when I eat just Protein. Example tonight I had 1 and 1/2 chicken breasts I have not been able to do that in forever. What the heck. i don't know if it is eating just cause or what. I was so busy at work today I don't think I ever really drank anything maybe that is the issue. I need to gain control of my self my scale has gone up 3 lbs in a week which is not good. Maybe I need to do the 5 day pouch test. I can't go see my Dr until Monday so I am kind of just hanging on. The last fill I had was 02/09 so I am at 6.5 ccs but I swear it is like nothing is in there. maybe it is leaking or something. I do know I have restriction when I drink something cold or to fast but oh my. Anyways just venting I was doing so well and it was like I froze up when I got to the 50 lbs loss

Barb I am glad you are doing so well and we are all here if you would like to talk and share. Donna where have you been? Is everything going well for you? I was used to seeing you often and I had not seen you for a while.

Hi Barb, Yes you can come back. You will always be a butterfly. I am so glad you have done so well. Are you struggling with anything right now? If you are just post it and we will all respond.

Yes you are right us kids want things now. LOL Thanks so much for you love and support it helps so much.

Thanks for the support that is why I post here. Everyone is so helpful and friendly.Can someone tell me why we have to have everything happen at once? I guess then life would not be fun right? LOL AN you are right about the serial killer I never though about that.I guess I should count my blessings. So why if I know it does no good and it hurts do I let it bother me do keep with this way of thinking?(I know the million dollar question right?) I just want to get a hold of my thinking and move on from this. It fills like I have been dealing with this for ever. It has been better I am trying to hang on. This is so true but I guess it will take a little bit for my brain to let go You are right I am proud but I feel like I am losing ground with my thinking. i just want to be happy with where I am in my life. Of course I want to lose more but I think I need to work on being happy with myself.

I do the same thing as you but no brain surgery for me. I am just going to try to learn how to deal with it. But it has been a battle.

I have been having the same problem with my hair. And my hair was already fine. Between work stress and my hubby in a bad mood with his work crap I am going to go crazy. My hair is so short right now compared to before surgery and my hubby does not like it. Can a girl get break I am freaking out I can not even take a day at a time because I just want to scream. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i am lost with my plan I think I have gained weight but have not dared weighed my self since I am already all crazy depressed and stressed out. And I take happy pills (i hope you know what I mean) I have a therapist but he is not in my network and he is like 150.00 a visit I talked him done to 100 but now that is still to high. I think I am eating around my band ecspecially with all the stuff going on with me. I am an emtional eater like alot of people. Ok I need to breathe but OMG help. Why is I do okay and then crash everything seems to happen at once. Yesterday my car broke down on the side of the rode and no one stopped at all :thumbup:. That makes a girl feel pretty. Anyways I had to wait 30 minutes until my hubby got to me to tell me some sesor fell out of my engine or something and it took two seconds to fix. I felt stupid. Oh I think I am done venting this moment.

Thanks for the support !! I will go get one. Yeah I realized after I sent to the post I meant to say skirts and dresses I have not worn in a very long time LOL:lol: anyways I plan on getting one soon. I am a customer service rep for a worker's comp company. So I am on the phone all day in a cube so I wear comfy stuff :thumbup:
