Hugs ya all.. tina ill help you tomorrow if you dont find it:D

It is 5 miles from marine world. But its not far at all its right in the area of 80 etc. And how i found it: Hotwire: do a search for american canyon. And then the 3 star hotel there. And thats the one i bought one day it was 53.00 the next it was 58.00 so im sure itw ill be around there:D lemme know if you need help:D

LOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG THAT IS SOOOOO FUNNY!!! Yes you did see someone advertising to us:) lol. you crack me up!!!:w00t: Thanks i needed the giggle:D

I wanted to, but people still dont know i had surgery:D

LOL yea candra you are the queen of long posts! I think we were doing fine until the regular people came into the chat then they took over.. I got stressed i know that much:D

We need our OWN chat room..

It is kinda stressful, so FAST!

Ok if we ever think we are chatty lets just go to the chat room lol

So did everyone leave and go to the chat?

Oh yeah and Tamra we can do a play date on your time off.. just remind me when we get closer, my daughter needs friends:D

Wow Chatty women! I think im gonna miss some things but oh well:) Tina I also took Effexor XR but only at 150mg so not a ton but more then my mom.. i was 16-19 when i took that, i went off it and immediately my depression got better. They were medicating me because my mom is Bipolar but nott he able to live kind shes teh been hospitalized 3 times kind.. So i think they put me on it to prevent?? I dont know. Post op i was also on welbutrin, and i liked that A LOT better. Because i had some really bad post partum.. Heather Congrats girle!!! You are doing amazing! Candi nice seein ya!!! Hmm not sure what else was said, im having memory loss issues lately lol. So my menu: B: Tea L: 1.5 pizza 1 strawberry 300 cals D: 5 small shrimp Lettuce, got a 1/2 ad salad ate half.. had some spinach dip though... and then oh gosh ur gonna shoot me, the MIL ordered desert so i had some, i didnt have half though, we all shared, and i just took bites and gave auds a spoon, so i didnt eat much but i made it look like iwas participating:D But still i ate enough so that i ... Came home and walked 5 miles. lol. In 102 heat.. bla that wasnt nice. Riley, do you remember when we were heavier where we lost double the calories!!! OH well im blaming my sugar tooth on pms lol.

Tamra are youok? We are all here for you call me if you need anything!

What is a Sangria?? LOL dont you hate the restaurant calorie things!!! Atleast they let you know what you kind of are eating.... kind of... key word:D What is sad is its all A LOT more calories then we ever thought. Appetizers are the worst i think, and the burgers. LOL, a single burger at the restaurants are like 1300 calories!!!! When we can make it ourself for like 350 without bun 450-550 with. Crazy huh! I wonder what they inject into the patties! I have a bunch of friends on my old mommy group, the one i was preggers with, and well, they all asked me how to loose weight (they all know about my surgery) so i told them what we do, and i was honest with them and said lately I haven't been as good as i used to be. But its kinda cool to be an inspiration to some people. But i have drilled to them that it is NOT EASIER! lol. WOW, im drinking my water right now and just got instant restriction, how in earth does that one happen.. and i had lunch the pizza:) 3 hrs ago now and i feel like i JUST ate it.. I better be careful with dinner...... I am such a chugger anyone else:( i try to finish a bottle of water so fast! And i sure can... You know what else is nuts, is Tom is trying REALLY hard to visit me. As most of u know i normally havent had a tom since i got pregnant 3 yrs ago.. the more and more i loose the closer and closer tom is gettin.... last month it was just the cramping like normal (get it once a month) and bloat.. now im cramping even worse:( Oh well i guess its what i get for being a female lol. NOW, Mobi tv is pissing me off, how long does it take this guy to call. They asked him 5 or so times if he wanted the job and could handle it then they taketheir sweet a$$ time, i cant wait to relieve all this stress:D:)

I am with you on this one Tina.. well im with you on basically everything lol, but seriously... What, do they want us to LIE??? If i was there I would ask also. I am sorry if we are posting on here they should be HAPPY!!!! They tell us all preop to find a group and stick with it. yadda yadda. Then she says something like that.. interesting. I could see if she said something like, "yeah some of the girls are good and stick with the group, but then there are some that waunder off so i dont know if they stick with it or not, or are doing their "own" thing..." Because i could see if she was talking about the ladies that used to talk with us daily who have now started doing their own thing... But we are all honest, and I think that is what matters the most! I could tell you if i cant admit to my faults id hide them from everyone and myself..

CANDRA hi! :wub: Girl im an 8/9/10/12 depending on the pants, material, brand you know:D Im no 8/10 in everything... What is funny which im sure a lot of us are noticing is when i was a 22 it was easy to go shopping i KNEW exactly my size right away! Now i have to try things on to make sure its the right fit:D Oh and i cant wait to hear what they offer.. i hate the waiting game, realllly do..:thumbup:

Oh my gosh! I just made a home made pizza for lunch with the whole wheat Wild Tree pizza crust... well, first off from the point of saying to myself lets make a pizza to the finished product it took 30 min!!! In that time i had to knead the dough, cut the vegies and then let the dough rise 10 min!!! and bake 12! I had cheese, some left over turkey meat from tacos the other night, mushrooms, cucumbers and tomatoes! SOOO yummy! And only 150 cals per slice if that i rounded up:) i had 1.5 slices:) they are square lol, from my cookie sheet:D But still sooo good and soo much left over! The hubs and baby approved! Im thinking of joiningwild tree.. if not for the biz for the discount, ive realized i cook with wild tree daily! :thumbup: Hows everyones day goin?

So glad you had a good meeting! Next time we have a group fill we will have to ask what liz meant by that. That is weired. Because at our last group fill that she was actually at she said we were the rockstars, and told everyone there to join us.. so maybe she means people that aren't in our group??? I am so glad you did well! This month is going to FLY!!!:thumbup:

Yup! WE are totally the rockstars:D

Oh and Lori, No i do not wish i had done RNY. I would do my band AALLLL OVER AGAIN:D With the band i get the constant check up with the surgeon, rny doesnt get that... I choose rny because i didnt want to be disected, and I would rather have to work to loose the weight rather then be malnourished to loose it.. Less complications, and safer in my eyes:D

WOOOO HOOO JESS!!! How exciting! Is that the same day as candra??? I cant remember?!?!

Good Morning Ladies! Yes heather you are right, I did feel AWFUL about having my 1/2 slice of pie, and before i probably would have finished it off and tried one of the other delicious pies they offer. What is good about yesterday is i didn't gain anything so that makes me happy. Lori! Welcome to the group!!! We are a great one to join! WE want to all make it to the finish of our goal and as long as you come here you most likely will:) We keep on each other :thumbup: Its not a bad thing though:) Also we do meet in person... Dr Park, i believe Reggie on here has had her, so when you see her post ask her about dr park.. i believe thats who she had. MOST of us on here had Dr Baggs, so there is quite a bit of fans of him on here, dont take that the wrong way, All the surgeons are great:) Ok about the schedule: I had Orientation -> PSych -> Sugeon (was already at goal) -> Liz -> Prsurgery appts with Baggs and the nurse -> Surgery... In the last 4 weeks i did have to go get a blood pregnancy test and regular blood tests, and 2 ekgs.. my ekgs are not normal so they wanted to make sure it always stayed the same:D I started on my Birthday, November 4th, and I became a Bandster on 3/31. I met with Dr baggs in december, on new years eve (yeah they work crazy days) and met with liz 3 weeks later, she was on a vacation so it got pushed out. i could have had surgery in february like the second week area, but i had a convention 4 weeks later and i didnt feel i would have made it with all the yummy foods there:D So you can be done with the process in 2 months or 1 yr, it is all up to you:) Tamra dont you see dr baggs this week??? Tina: i agree im ready for a fill also. Isnt it weired how we loose restriction!!! I dont like it at all!!! OK im going to plan our petaluma walk once and for all and the salsa dancing! So I need a vote, Petaluma walk I need to know who wants to go, and what day is better for you a Weekday or Sat or Sun. Salsa: I need to know if it is just Candra and i, or if some of you other beauties are gonna shake your butay with us :wub: If so please let me know and also if weeknights are ok (we found a place that is cheap during the week:) We need to get our activites planned so we can do them! And Ill walk the bridge when are we doing that tina and riley!?! Anyone seen Candra lately?

Ill go skyjumping or whatever it is ur talkin about lol it looks fun:D So today, for me hmm tina i feel ya girl, i lost all restriction... B: Cheeze stix 90 cal L:Fish stick tomato slice 10 crackers 200 cals S: 1 c watermelon D: Went out.. 2 pork spare ribs, 2 hush pupies, 2 salad shrimp 1 pot sticker Desert:( what i regret... 1/2 a piece of small chocolate pie:( i know i know bad bad bad:( So im probably ending around 1000-1200 cals for the day, but still im so mad about the pie! Why!!!!!!!! Id have to say though does anyone else remember what it was like at a buffet??? Id go and fill a plate and then fill it again.. now i go get 2 ribs then 1 of a couple things and i fill up so easy i dont even get my plate close to empty, i find im like eh thats not worth the space.. and its amazing watching my baby eat it all for me lol Then came desert that is my weakness... So at 9pm lol, i had my hubs out walking the circle with me:) Yes it was dark and no there are no lights:D lol so we atleast burned 250 cals..... Oh and i lost 10 dollars at thunder valley that casino so does not pay out!!!:cool:

Tina: id wait till the day before to make up your mind, i am sure dr baggs would totally understand:D Im thinking i will get a fill though, ive had no issues now in a couple of days.. I am journaling again also, and posting on here:) I like postinc cause then i actually see what i eat lol. My snacking has slowed down i notice to basically nothing so thats good, ive been staring at a watermelon though since lunch lol so we will see how long i can hold out:D Riley im so glad that your son and you are getting close thats great:D wish i had a support person like that, when it comes down to it ir eally only have sabotages.... its kinda bad but whatever:) I have you wonderful ladies as my support:D

I would only be moving to probably vallejo area, its cheaper so only like 1hr away.. mike makes it in 45 min... doubt i can do it that fast:D But you never know whats going to happen, hes got intel talking to him again too but they said 17.00 so we will see that has no benifits:(

Hi ladies, Riley i like the sound of your restriction, i could use that.. Ive loosened up since i gave my pouch a 1/2 day of rest:) I would like the restriction that makes it where i cant eat much, but no pbing... so fine line. Right now id say i can eat a 1/2-1 c of food and be full for about 4-6 hrs. Depending on the food item.. and my water intake. I could eat more then one shrimp though for sure......:cool: So ill walk the bridge the prob is i need to already be in the area. Hopefully we will be moving to the area next week, ill know more tomorrow:D
