You go girl!!!

Riley i love the"hoover boys" That made me laugh:D Tamra, wow you dont like eggs??? This is going to be a little hard for you to go out and eat then, a LOT of self control. Because like riley i do an omelet or scrambled eggs when im at a bfast place, because its hard to find a protein item on their menus that isnt covered in gravy.. What are you eating for Breakfast currently??? It is very hard to eat out with the band and make the right choices.. but post surgery pancakes wont reallly tempt you because for some reason with the band, you will gain easilier lol. I am serious.. anyone else feel this way? I feel if i screw up one day its like im done for a week.. Even if i go back to being a good girl, the wieght just sits there... does NOT budge. PEtaluma walk, did we pick a date??

I have to admit im REALLY bad at measuring, so i told the hubs we are eating at home for a while. With all the interviews and traveling we havent been eating here much... So im starting again:) And im working on my water intake again.. My Menu: B: 1 egg, 1/4 cup potatoes L: Tortilla, 2 pieces meat, 2 pieces tomato yummmm D: 1 Taco (HomeMade) E: 1.5 mile Today i went to the inlaws to play with cricut, i really do love that lil machine:D Got to leave auds with daddy that was nice. Mike and i went shopping, has anyone noticed we no longer shop down the isles?? MAINLY just the outside rim. I thought htat was a wake up call... So how is everyone doing? Im looking forward to next weekend:D

I am so tempted to buy these FIT FLOPS! Gosh what made u buy them??? So i just bought a new scale, we were talking tonight about how much i hate mine. It seriously hates me, one moment it will say one weight i get off and back on and it takes doing that 3 times till its ACTUALLY right! Then will hold the wieght for a couple times. Its ridiculous. SO< i bought a new one cant wait to get it.. Audrey is rejecting sleep tonight:(

OH, i went shopping today! A girl needs new pants right?? Well i have no SLACKS!! So i got some..:confused: a pair of 8/10s so they should last me a long while. And a couple of M shirts. I did try on a dress i really liked, but it was snagged so i didnt get it... Im gonna try some more ross stores:D So in the last couple days i got a pair of skinny jeans:) and a pair of slacks and 3 shirts.. i think i should be good:D Reggies party is next weekend right??

Maria, you are doing GREAT! I know how easy it is to say ditch the carbs etc.. but its not easy doing it so do it one day at a time, do half the amnt then cut back that way thats what im doing right now, i like my carbs and it causes ur liver to swell so guess what we gain weight. I once heard the liver can maintain like 10 lbs of fluid... It will go away:) Take a easy weekend. Riley im so glad you had a good fill! That is AWESOME! you are such a rock star! Since you are getting close to goal also let me know what you eat! Cause i fight every lb.. :confused: Sept 24! OH NO that wont work, i guess we will have to see.. thats my hubbs bday i probably wont need a fill then though going at this rate.. No pbing today ladies! B: one of those cheese sticks (80 cal) L: 1/2 a bowl of clam chowder, 1/2 a side salad ( 300 cal) D: 1/4 c bbq chicken, sprinkle cheese, 1/4 c corn, and some lettuce ( ~500 cal) No pbin today, was down in the bay for mikes number 2 interview with mobi, they asked him 5 times if HE wanted the job, he said he needs to know $$$ answers.. So sounds like he has this one, but we need to see the $$$$$$$!!!! He would be a Applications Software Engineer... sounds kinda cool i think lol. How did everyone else do today????

Chris yeah it sucks huh, i dont heave before pbing i slime.. its more of food covered in slime then vomit... Yesterday when i pbed off of who knows what, i heaved after, so i stood up and walked out cause that i think is more of a reaction to it. Tina I hope you have a better day today!!!:nanahump: Im mad at the scale today, yesterday i burned 600 cals on my run and ate about 500.. and the scale says i gained 4 lbs! How does that work!!!:wink2: Ok well i got jipped into going to the bay with mike anyways... my knee is aching from yesterday (see i over did it again:( ) so mike doesnt think i should do the run and that i should just donate the money:( oh well.. we will seehow i feel tomorrow.

I had fudgesicles post op.. it was actually one of my addictions lol.. auds too.. I finally got off those darn suckers:D But they were sugar free and fat free thats how i "justified" it lol

Lol yes today is thursday. Girls im so excited my husband might have a job again soon:D I love him being home dont get me wrong, but i need a break from him lol.. 6 months is LONG ENOUGH.

Riley good luck tomorrow and have fun:) If you can make him blush:) I love making Dr Baggs Blush i think its so cute how he blushes so easily. Tina im still looking for you on Face Book its not showing you logged in...

Im there are you sitll logged on FB???

Riley you are so silly. Just get excited about tomorrow being a new day. The high cal low cal thing doesnt work for me anymore.. it was nice when it did.. :wink: Nothing lately is.. oh well stupid plateus..:crying: You exercised i bet more then 2000 cals today! So no fear:) Cricut time!!!:tt2: I need some women time, candra what happened to Salsa dancing???!!?!?!?!?!

Tina you are way tighter then me it sounds (water I can chug as much as i want:) ) and it makes me know i don't want any more fills unless im done pbing for sure. Yesterday get this i pbed on Tuna salad, and then on a hamburger patty. so correct choices.. i think its just a mooooody band:) LOL oh my gosh this kid is too young to be so smart, im staring at my kid she got a sippy out of the dishwasher went to the fridge and pushed on the puttons to get it to fill up ( i locked it) lol she went back to the dishwasher to get a new cup and is trying again LOL, IM LAUGHIN SOOO HARD!!!!:wink:

Wanna go to six flags or something i have 1/2 off coupons... If u wanna do something ill come up if not im sittin on my duff.. lol I am not ready for an unfill yet. Because its a fine line.. i dont wanna get an unfill and then be able to eat a house again.. I am gonna do another morning of liquids then go back to easy protein.. see if thats ok? I do now see why tina doesnt want an unfill:)

Yeah there is.. i almsot emailed asking for an unfill but I really dont wanna drive 3 hrs. The prob with me is even though i pb.. um i dont loose... not sure how tina does it. :wink: Yeah i think auds will be fine, its funny tonight she brought me a spoon and pudding.. Candra you work tomorrow right?? Mike is coming down for his second interview i think im staying home.....

Tina i know the feeling, and im starting to get scared of slippage, did baggs ever say how often we can pb before he gets worried?? As we all know i was a good girl today, had soup and pudding for lunch no B.. then dinner, i went to sizzler....... Tried having a salad (small less then 1/2 c) 1 onion ring, and a bite of auds potatoe... OK, 5 bites in, 3 of the salad 1 of onion ring im good 1 potatoe bite... YOU GUESSED IT... pressure in the chest sayin omg are u kidding me:( In the ladies room i go.. girls it was bad i dry heaved, meaning my lower stomach was trying to come up.. needless though just slime and one bites worth of stuff came up.. then i was dry heaving, and had to leave so it would stop. Then i was able to easily eat 3 of their meatballs, and a cup of their soup. And then i was done. I was never really hungry today.. so that was nice, i was fussy though lol. But im so scared of my band slipping. Candra to answer u.. no this is NOT why i wanted my band.. i wanted it for restriction, so i could still be human.. Girl, i have to be soo careful, eating out is NOT enjoyable for me or my family... Audrey is now faking vomiting her food, and disecting her food lol. I got my band for restriction, i never wanted to pb.. id rather be able to make the choice myself. AND, when u dont eat or under eat i dont know about tina, but i do start getting weak... Ok off about my rant childs wantin me..

Tamra you are doing Awesome! And one day i promise you wont be looking forward to dinner;)

Hi! Welcome! Well, for me i went to orientation nov 4 had surgery 3/31 i could have had surgery the first week in February but, i had a trip to go on 5 weeks later.. and i didn't want to be on mushies..... So it really depends, one person took 2.5 months from orientation to surgery, and one took over a year. It depends on YOU, and schedule availability. You will be required to Stop Smoking, Give up coffee..... soda, straws, gum.. And you will be required to loose a certain amnt of weight preop. It really isn't that hard if you keep in touch with a group of ladies, to motivate you and keep you on task:) What day is your orientation?

Hi ladies,i missed a lot lol. Then i went on and on and nowi cant even remember what i read... CANDRA.. we will be back in the area either tomorrow or monday i might ditch mike though if its tomorrow, Mobi tv called again, and the NOC team wants to meet him.. so back down we go again.. jeez we spend more on interviews then on having a job! Crazy! Candra i started running at 240.. not 5k style... but i did a run 1 min walk 1 min kinda interval.. Wasnt as stressful cause i was only going for 1 min at a time... I did hurt myself though.. but not until i was under 200... weird I KNOW! It was after surgery before my fill, and well i was trying to run on a tread mill... treadmills can be bad cause you push yourself more then your body should be able to go..but they are easier to do its a double headed sword... I ran for 20 min straight at 5.0.... not something my knee was used to, But needless to say i was out for about 2months.. thats when i lost a lot of my motivation momentum etc. I owuld say not do the 5k or just stick with week 1-3.. since they are still less on ur joints.. But if you feel your in shape enough do it. Because, even when we are skinny minnies, we can STILL hurt ourselves. Dr baggs was DELIGHTED to hear i was running during preop etc. They LOVE exercise.. im suprised liz said something, but i didnt tell her i was running because when i met her i was doing private training at that time.. I am super looking forward to the party at Rileys, and riley what can i bring??

Hi ladies, i have some 16s if anyone needs them donna you are in 14s now! Remember;) I dont have a soft stop.. because here is when i pb, as SOON as i start eating, it is usually bite number 3 that stops me. Its not near the end or anything, its as SOON as i start eating.. weird huh... Thats why i eat when im done clearing out.. i wonder if maybe i should drink a ton of water first??? I dont know.. So today i did day 2 of week 5 of the c25k.. which is a run 8 walk 5 run 8.. well since sat is the 5k i did a 3 mile one instead of 1.5.. so i ran 4 times walked 3. But here is what was sad, im jogging, and when i get tired i can jog so slow.. lol i could walk faster probably lol.. but ok im sitting here jogging along and i see this size 4 girl walking, then she starts jogging, she passed me and i was all sad thinking i was so fat etc.. yadda yadda.. and how out of shape i was and how ridiculous, you know normal self negative talk.. WELL then she starts walking! Not even 40 feet into her jogging. The girl CAN NOT jog far at all! And shes like a size 4. So that made me feel better, that atleast the fat girl can jog further.. I dont think im ready for saturday, infact i have my knee brace on again. im kinda scared............:sneaky:

WOW, 10 people are viewing the thread! Me, CraftKathie, Marie, Pam, Riley, Donna, Heather, Christine and tamra, and guest... WOW, thats the most ive seen at once!!!:sneaky:

Audrey loves little kids also, and doggies, and kitties and goodness everything lol. SO yeah ill let ya know.:sneaky: Tina you go girl! I wish i lost with this pbin.. its like i am on a plateu.. But after i Pb i am able to eat again... just not as much, but its easier for some reason... Today im gonna take it easy on my pouch though, all liquids... I think i need to let her rest..

LOL heather that is so cute! You like shopping in your own closet! I lovvvve it:D So glad u like it you should take a picture of it:) On you of course.

Tamra, when we do get togethers i sometimes have to bring my baby, she is 20 months so very close in age to yours. Dont worry about bringing her:) We all love kidddddos:D Most of us got them:D I hope you like baggs!!!:sneaky: Hopefully you can get down another 5 or so before you see him and maybe he will move ur loss to 20??? It all depends on what he thinks:D HEather, if he does change her loss id call and ask for a change of surgeons.......... Marie: she explained it very well.. how i think of pb though, because i dont have to burp at all its just there..its like at first a pain.. that wont go away.. you know if u drink it will be worse so you pray it goes down.. but then it gets harder, and you feel like you havea ball in your throat (you do) finally you give up on the wiaitng game go to the ladies room and you can cough or whatever and the food that was lodged in the spot comes out. For me no bupring occurs it is just a cough. Dont worry abou tit, you can ask all the girls befor emy last 1cc i had NO ISSUES! I could eat a house and everything i wanted. I lost better... Now im making foods softer (cals) on the days i have issues... But whats sad is ill have 1 bad day to 5 good.. and the good are when i can eat a house lol.

Believe me i KNOW your pain!!! All i own is 3 pairs of pants (1 new one thanks to candra:) ) 1 nice fancy shirt (thanks to candra) and 3 tank tops (walmart) 2 pairs of shorts( walmart) I dont have ANYTHING from the exchanges... people lneed to get into 8s and 6s so they can pass on their 10s and 12s to us lol.
