AudsMom

Good morning girls!

I havent been up to much besides work.

Lets see... i moved in with my sister lived in HELL, literally, couldn't eat there.. so was eating.. you guessed it fast food bull. Fighting with mike every weekend.. Then i got 2 jobs right off the bat.. dec 24 got my apartment, quit one of my jobs.. got my food stamps and cash aid back pay..

Now currently, working 32 hours as a caregiver at my OLD job.. auds is in daycare on Tue and Wed.. and tonight i registered for a college class.. since most classes are gone im just taking a computer class.:thumbup: Mike and i are talking again, not jumping into anything just talking about doing counseling.. see if we can fix what we lost.. who knows. I am loosing my cash aid due to making too much! Which is a bunch of crap! Considering i no longer make 1400!!! so im mad! Not happy camper. Mike is paying his child support so once i get my daycare switched over i dont mind loosing the assistance but i count on calworks for her daycare. So im a lil scared. We will see..

what else.. im fat!!! I feel so bloated! Ready to check in daily again and help all you beauties..!!! Im stilll a 10 and only put on 5 lbs but i feel so FAT, its horrible:(

Wanna know whats nice though.. i get called "skinny" by people i dont know... i tell you one thing.. single friends.. men treat skinny girls like shit! I have one close close friend, whom i care a whole lot about.. other then that.. men are just plain rude! OH AND THE WOMEN! omg. ive never had so many petty women in my life.

Ok there is my rant. Miss you all

wanna do lunch next week?

After reading 10 pages...

I GET TO ANSWER A QUESTION YAY!

Tamra: After you get to goal you call, and get an apt with Liz, if it is further then 2 weeks out keep calling every day for a cancelation:) Then LIZ gives you a DATE!!!:thumbup: anywhere from 2-5 weeks out:) Most likely sooner then later:)

YES YOU ARE CLOSE. I was at goal when met with the psych.. so i didnt have to go thru this annoying torture.. but you also get to meet up with the surgeon again, take the class that tells you about surgery and how to breathe etc.. and then you meet up with the nurse:)

How exciting! I am so glad im back online in time to see you both go thru surgery!

As for my update, those of you who talk to me off here, know im ADDICTED TO CARBS.. Oh and have a very tiny fill due to nerves causing me to get sick AND NO INSURANCE. Meaning NOOOO fill. :thumbup: BUT, i figure i can do it. I did it better before the band anywho..

Today was day one of my detox.. i am doing the 5 day pouch test.. did perfect minus a piece of chocolate.. (eek oh well) better then what i been eatin lately. Also i havent worked out in 3 months!!!! I MISS IT SOO MUCH. Just hard with a 2 yr old.. so.. now that i live in town i walk to the grocery store:) And i bought a treadmill off a friend of mine, he should be delivering it sooooon!!! I cant wait.

I am going on the 16th or wahtever day it is i am off at 4.. i wont have auds.. she with daddddy.

I love you all, so glad everyone is well:)

I have one piece of advice...:thumbup:

Being to tight DOES NOT help loose weight. It helps gain, feel like crap, get depressed, and eat sliders:) I cant WAIT for an unfil!

Donna: love i called you.. miss you..

Candra: how are you.. ?

Christine: hows the belly?

Tina: talked to you today, miss ya tons...

April: there is a girls night this saturday lemme know if you wanna come!!!

Tamra: how are you?

Goodness i miss you all sooo much. I should be back on regularly SOON. They say my apt is almost ready for auds and i.

Im so busy lately.. workin workin workin. Abt to start my second job also. Audrey is in county daycare LOVES it. Speaking A TON!

I still weigh 168:( It actually has gotten pretty bad. Im going in for an unfill friday. No food stays down right now. For instance:

Yesterday:

B: Scrambled Eggs.. 2 bites.. back up.

S: Granola bar : DOWN!

L: tried nachos, no go, tried salsberry steak no go.

Finally i was just STARVING, so had a egg nog chai oh my god delish! And chips.. eek sliders.

But like today my tea came back up.. shhh tina i know i know.. im going fri. I got some down later. Im just super stressed i know this. But im tired of this crap. and it does get WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE. Sometimes i have to help get it out cause it aches.. its horrible. But how i look at it im 8 lbs away. Im in a size 8 and S shirts so im fine with my size. Im gonna loosen her up. And just eat how im supposed to. no more sliders (thats all ive had for a month.. hard to eat protien when it all comes back up) ANDi joined the gym, and prepaid. So im gonna get back into routine.

So yeah my life is fun:)

I am dropping my insurance after this month:( I haveto. I cant afford this crap.:biggrin:

Other then that all is okay. Work is fun. Applying elsewhere though. HEY any of you work with medical or calworks? And can tell me what PENDING AND IN PROCESS means??? how do they excpect me to care for miss thang on noooooooo money!!! Seriosuly i dont get it at all.

Ok so i miss you all as you know, all you newbies welcome to the group, we really are the best group. We will get you to goal!!! In every way:)

Oh and Dr Baggs is my surgeon!

So my jealous husband has been reading this board.. so now i know how he knows a lot of what i say. But whatever.

He has kicked me out today. Not sure what im doin tryin to figure it out now.

ttys

Riley:D thanks for being proud of me ive been avoiding home so what better to do then walk:D

I took yesterday off... but we are up in gv with my sister and mom.. well auds and i.

AND bran and i went to the bar!!!! omgomg!

So i had wine.. before we went. Then bran got me a carona, and then after a while this ugly dude bought us shots.. OMG. I was drunk! Off that! Our bands do help with somethin we are cheap dates! OK.

Well for the first time i was the "skinny" girl with my sis in the bar. We are now the same size. WELL.. ok i told bran why the hell are we flirtin with the ugly dude so we scoped out the HOTTEST man in the bar. AND, the one all the girls wanted.. WELL guess who GAVE ME ATTN!!! You freakin guessed it, i had the guts to go over to him and TALK TO HIM. He ended up singing to me. ALSO he said i reminded him of the girl on 27 dresses.. so now i gotta watch that movie lol. But yes sooo much fun. SOooo much confidence. I love my new body, i love th enew me.. and mike dont...

SOmething tells me i shouldnt settle ever freakin again cause i can get WHO I WANT! :smile:

Yeah im a bit hung over doesnt help four of us slept on a king bed and then auds pissed all over the place.

SO.. lesson.. back to weight loss... OH MY I HAD SOO MANY CALORIES:( Horrid. What goes with booze, junk! So i dont wanna see the scale!

Ok love you all had to share my first experience out...

So candra even in self defense to get someone to get off of you, you still think its ok. I guess next time ill put up with it.. I just hate having him in my face with his middle fingers imprenting on my head and auds clenching to me screaming and being pushed into a corner im sorry to me.. that isnt cool. But i understand ur theory.. I guess i was in the wrong ill tell him im sorry cause ive been tellin him im not the reason for auds but i guess i am:( oh well.

AND about that girl... you really need to let her go. My parents never paid anything for me. I paid for every car, everything. Ive never had my insurance paid for or any of that. And I am proud to say that. She will never learn if you dont cut her off eventually....

OK everyone who has known me since early post op and preop will understand this one:)

I bought CHEEZE ITS TODAY! OMG what was i thinkinnnnng!

I havent bought them since surgery since they are my number one weakness lol. Well today i was looking for the treat for audrey going peepee.. i almost think chocolate is smart.. well.. you all know what im eating eek.

GOOD news ive already walked 4.5 miles today and tonight my friend and i are gonna go to the track and do 5. :thumbup:

Wow what i have lost.. since you know me you know a lot..:thumbup:

Ok..

7. I lost my Heater.. im pretty cold now. lol

8. Lost an ENTIRE ward robe!!! Not even my undergarments fit.

12. Lost the need to be liked, now i dont care.

13. Lost my marriage... confidence really does effect EVERYTHING.

14. Lost a lot of cup sizes.. Now i am kinda uncomfortable about that one.

Pat: hope you had a great day:)

You can ask for any time frame for surgery. I had a vegas trip so moved mine out a month... lol so worth it:D;)

AND for jess and candra and pat: It depends on your stomach, surgeon, and situation how much Fluid you get at surgery.. I know some of us got almost 4ccs maybe even 5 i cant remember.. But some only got 2. So it all depends.

Candra: You are in band hell its normal.. 1 and 1/2 cups tuna.. hmm ur gonna not like my intake today:) You might have no Fluid did you email ur surgeon??? Im sorry that its hit so soon. Start walkin hot stuff:D

Jess: Email your surgeon they can tell u what ya go. Not sure if robin even knows.. I never tried asking her.

HEY GIRLS, who have fills in October.. when is it? I wanna come for the robin part but not a fill. I dont need it i dont think. Im gonna ask him also. Not sure if he can tell me which one my friends are going to though...

Pam: arent the carbs EVIL!

Everyone else how ya all doin?

So are we gonna get back on track and post our foods?? Lol i guess i am.. I was actually a good girl today well minus red robin, but still under 800 cals:D

B: 1 egg and 1/2 a piece of cheese

L: 1/2 cup tuna (yes only tuna) about

D: Fish and 5 fries and ranch.. (red robin)

E: 4 miles
