hey girlie, i'm heading back to good ole texas in the morning!! yayyyy!!!! how's school going? good night my dear!! much love, amber

Yes I did, she was a 2 for 1, nutriontist and phycholigist I think. I can't remember her name, I only met her once, it was the same day as my initial appointment with Dr. V. Since I was from out of town, they tried to get all my appts done in the same day to save me from driving. I remember her office was kinda close to his. I wasn't impressed with her, she talked ALOT and got distracted easlily, and she was 20 min late for my appt. But I don't care, I just did whatever I needed to do to get my surgery.

Congrats on the insurance approval! Hopefully you'll get a surgery date soon

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.

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.

So you're back at the dorm now?? Back to studying! lol. Everything is good here. Just trying to find good things to eat! It's hard when you're not home. Have a great day hun!

Hey Darlin! How's everything going???

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

I thought I was going to bed... but now I'm not sleepy. My hubby is snoring beside me. *sighs*

I put pics up!

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

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

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

Everything is good here, we're back from the mountains. My hubby has to work tomorrow, so I'm going house hunting. It's so much fun!

I'll try to get in chat sometime and say hi! Have a great night! Muah!

My hot coco was great. We got a fire going, I think my hubby is trying to set the mood...

Don't worry about your fill! Let me know how it goes tho. You'll be fine!

Sorry about the hair! Hope you get it fixed, haha

Good night girlie!

Hey girlie! Just got back from sledding! WHOO HOO! Now I'm back at the cabin sipping hot coco I'll put some pics up in a bit.

I haven't lost anymore either, I'm stuck. But oh well it's only been 3 days. How's everything in your world?

Well I'm not here permantely, I"m just visiting for a couple weeks. I'll be back in Texas before ya know it. We're going to a ski town tomorrow, getting a cabin and taking the dogs. Going sledding!

Hows your weight loss coming??? Any more?!

hey, i just made it to new mexico, i'm so tired!! we made the trip, puppies and all!

Get to packing girl!

My brother liked it! ha. First thing he said. Took my mom a minute to warm up to it, but she liked it too, haha.

Got me some yummy tea! I hadn't thought about gatorade, I'll have to get some of that. I did get some protein bullets from GNC, if I mix them with lemonade they are yummy.

Are you all packed??

Aw cleaning and packing are no fun!

I'm fixing to go see my brother... I'm bored and he's at my moms. So figured I'd go show him my hair, hehe. I'm gonna stop and get me some sweet tea! I'm feeling a little dehydrated, and water is getting boring.

Later Loves!

I'm at 29lbs today!! So what are your big plans this weekend?!

Aw thanks Kar. You make me giggle

I put a pic up on my friends & family album. now keep in mind the flash makes the red look brighter, haha

haha, the kite story is funny!! silly girl!

I think my hair turned out pretty great! I'll take a pic tonight or tomorrow. I got some red and brown highlights. I was there for 3 /12 hours!!!

What did you do today besides hang out with the popos, hehe

31 lbs yay!! That's awesome. and to answer your question, you probably already have some fluid in your band, but all docs do it different. my doc put 2cc in when i had the surgery. but the tighter your band gets yes you will most def continue to lose at a good pace. but, not to bust your bubble, your probably losing really good right now because you haven't eaten much but liquids and mushies! for me, it got harder when i was able to eat regular food, because you don't have much restriction in the beginning, you'll catch yourself wanting to overeat. just see how you feel after your first fill. who knows, you might have great restriction after the first fill!

I did go walking today with my lab. We jogged two blocks! And I almost passed out! haha

Off to my hair appt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!! I weighed this morning and I've lost 27!!!! WHOOO HOOO. That's 2lbs in 1 day, lol. And I was just telling my aunt last night I couldnt' wait till 30lbs, almost there!

So how was the quiche? I bet any kind of food was yummy, haha

Think I'm going walking today, maybe I can lose 30 by the time I see my hubby! Have a great day girlie!!

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??
