  1. Where are you going for spring break?!

     

    I'm finally done cleaning! My house smells like pinesol now, haha. Now I gotta give Zoe a bath, she's a dirty girl!

     

    I'm getting my hair done tomorrow, if it turns out good I'll take a pic and put on here so you can see, lol. I'm going red!

  2. Hey girl how's it going??

  3. Yeah the doc is a little strange. But while I was at the hospital he was very attentive. I've only seen him once post op. Which is usual, you mostly see the nurses unless there is a problem. But I will see Veninga on the 30th for check up. I have been pretty happy with his office and after care.

     

    Only thing is they're "slow fillers", to me anyway. It took me almost 5 months to have strong restriction. I think the fills they gave me were too small. I was banded in Aug and have lost 30lbs. Just don't expect to have restriction right out of surgery. That only happens for a select few, lol. It take most of us a few fills.

  4. Yeah I just moved to the southeast hell hole corner of NM, haha, jk! Small town by Roswell and Carlsbad. It's not too bad... so far. Had to move here for my hubby's job, and he pays the bills so I can't complain!! So you're still waiting for surgery??? How much longer do you have to go?

  5. Loving your new pics!! Yeah we've lost about the same huh?! I'm hoping to be exactly at 50lbs by the weekend so i can take some pics, haha. And congrats on the new hot bf!! I'm so happy that life is treating you well!! And yes, you have been neglecting this site :( haha

    have a fabulous day darlin!

  6. Aw that sounds great. How are you doing so far? Where are you from?

  7. hey just checking to see how everything is going?!

  12. Hey lovely, I'm so glad your fill went well! I knew it would ;) How many cc's do you have now?? I'm sure you'll keep losing my dear. I was bad yesterday, I had Ben & Jerry's... But I was on vacation! haha

  13. I'm good. Thanks. Have you been banded or waiting to be banded?

  14. No, I didn't have any reservations or second thoughts. But I had been trying to get the band for almost 2 yrs. So I had plenty of time to think about it! And I had attended seminars and talked to people who had it done. Just do your research and it will make your decision clear.

  15. Congrats on the weight loss! That's so awesome!

  16. OMG, I just realized today was the day!! Let me know (when you feel like getting on the computer, lol) how it went! I'm so excited for you! Hope you're taking gas-x and getting lots of liquids and rest, lol. Here's to a speedy recovery!!

  17. Where in NM are ya'll going?! How exciting! Ahhh to be young and in college again... lol. Don't do anything crazy!

     

    Did you get your house cleaned? Today was a good day. Tried to eat some bread little bit ago. That was hard! So I didn't eat much. When can you have some food?!

     

    Have you lost anymore?? Are you still feeling excited about your band??

  18. I can't believe you're at 5cc!! Jeeze! My doc is a slow "filler" I guess, lol. Thats great tho!

     

    No more Ben & Jerry's, I promise. It was a one time fling! hehe
