  1. Jeez talk about Catch up!!! So, what all did i read lol, i forget:D Something about Stirrups, eh.. :ohmy: and Dr Baggs.. Someone is at goal and im such a bad friend on remembering who, but, like i told candra... Go weigh in, then call the girls!!!! They will set ya up with liz!!!:w00t: Candra, the nurse appt is to make sure you are basically alive and ok, it was REALLY pointless.... i think like 5 min. My nurse appt though was all messed up with a non bariatric nurse, so i didnt get the nausea med.. but then u see ur surgeon again, and they touch ur tummy ask any last second questions then off u go. Its really a way for them to get more $$$ i think...... Im still way excited you got a date!!! WOO HOO:D Sorry my phone wasnt by me today, went to the inlaws to play with cricut...... Oh and about the c25k, i believe the knee issues, cause i find sometimes i run i get my knees hurtin again, but i dont care i was watching the news where that older woman wieghed get this 700 lbs!!! She got down to 200! AND was running... So if she can run i can run. I also saw my dad loose his weight with running.. SOOO i finally GOT RID OF THE GOLD FISH. No more snack foods. My goodness. Tomorrow though i am doing mushies and liquids, because.. well.... i had not much to eat all day then for din i had a hamburger patty with ketchup and mayo and a tomato.. well it didnt stay down, the bad part i was at the inlaws... they do NOT know about my surgery.. mike said im like on crack cause i mess with my nose lol after i go and pb... whatever.. so im gonna give my pouch some time to relax... What else is going on let me think...Reggie are we bringing hubbies?? Im looking forward to it! The walk will work for most days for me let me know which weekend yall choose.. this sat is my 5k.. which im nervous about... i did run a 5 min solid then 7 min solid then 5 min solid.. and not feel like i was being shot.. but i havent been workin out like normal.. so we will see if i make it lol. How i look at this is it is my starting point.. oh well well mikes ditching me so im gonna end this here ill post more in the morning sorry if i forgot anyone! You are all doing great ill talk to you alllll soon:D
  2. Hi hun, i hate to say this but it does sound like you are doing 2 sets of labs.. I didnt have to do 2. I did just the one set for surgery 4 weeks prior. The prego test though i had to do within 1 week.. i remember i did it when i got back from vegas surgery was 5 days later:D And it is a BLOOD prego test.. lol no fun:) BUT onto good news, THAT IS SOO EXCITING IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! SURGERY IS SOOOOOOO SOON!
  3. Reggie i think you DEF need a fill! For SURE! What is regula? Sounds interesting. And girl i got your wildtree order still! You're the only one i haven't been able to meet up with:) Im up for the get together at ur place:D
  4. Oh and Donna im up for a get together lunch this week just need to know when and make sure it doesnt coinside with mine and mikes appt...
  5. Hi ladies, Well today was interesting, yesterday i had crab and could have as much as i want and then today i was under restriction again.. Breakfast was at the hotel ( ididnt want to scare candras hubby lol) Well i had like 1/4 c eggs and some gravy on top and a couple of bites of the cinnamon bun..... BUT, not sure how much of it stayed and how much of it i got rid of:( But i did stop eating after that.. Ok then lunch which was a blast:D My kid was a NIGHTMARE.. (which candra, it continued thru the day, so we think she really doesnt feel good) but we had lucnh with candra and her hubbs.. was a lot of fun, the guys hit it off even with audrey not being happy.. at all.... But lunch went down and stayed down, we had a shrimp louie salad, and luckily i got litterally all the crap pieces, even the end piece lol. but it helped me not over indulge lol.. but it went down fine and stayed down:) Full till dinner time.. Then at dinner, oh my gosh he!! broke loose... girls i Slimmed AT THE TABLE! we went to Thunder Valley because it was on the way home, and rib nite, so on my plate i got 2 lil pork ribs, 1 of those chinese meat things, they go in soups i think.. a soup, pot sticker, well i had a bite from audreys lil corndog thingy, went down fine, had some soup fine.. then she brought me my water BIG MISTAKE.. i was like oh im thirsty let me have a sip (dumb me...) well.... if u have been to tv you know they dont have a potty room near the buffet at all.. well....... i tried to wait it out.. but as we all know that doesnt always work.. up it came, i grabbed a napkin and fake coghed so the neighbors wouldnt notice, and out came about 1.5 cups of slime and fluid.. mostly the soup! My pouch does not like ANY fluids going into my pouch after i eat even soup! But then i was able to eat my dinner.. so i finished the 2 ribbs and the pot sticker, had some nasty desert they had then called it a nite.. One thing i love about my band, is i never leave anymore feeling Stuffed, grossly, and i can clearly not eat as much. What i dont mind is the pbing about ever 5 days lol. Its like i have a pb day then the next couple days i can eat the house.. weired.. I think its still tied to stress though... So other then that had a good day, Candra got me some Apple bottom jeans! Never owned those before, i didnt even know i cant wear tennis shoes with them lol... And a cute shirt.. Ihit a hard point as being a mom, today there was a lady at the restaurant who kept lookin at me bad, i dont know what to do with auds right now.. she is 20 months so not 2.. she doenst understand right from wrong.. so what in earth do i do.. do i let her make herself happy or do i try to teach her to sit still and let her scream. I am at a very hard age.. she is even too young to understand No.. i am very frustrated.. cause i dont wanna teach her this is ok, but i also know spankin her diaper doesnt do a darn thing.. so whats the point of that... ahh.. to much:( Mikes interview i guess was interesting, no technical questions.. so we will see. It was a lot of $$$ negoitating!!! What the heck. So we will see... Done holding my breath lol.. Ok im rambling so ill go away now.. We put auds back in her tot bed tonight we will see how that goes.. OH and to make things worse for my upset tummy baby, she got her FIRST sliver.. it was cute, she kept showing me her finger even after daddy got it out!!!i just kept kissing it:)
  6. Hi ladies, since3 im on the Mini laptop i wont write a lot. Just wanted to say we went to in n out for lunch and i could eat a full single cheeseburger Protein style, and some fries... then we had a funnel cake i know i know, it was mostly for mike since i went on a ride while he ate it...:smile2: but then for dinner we went to red lobster and i got the king crab ate 3 legs.. probably a total of 1.5 c.. i did stop there butwhy so much:( good thing crab is low cal, but still:( why do some days i feel like i should eat one shrimp and stop.. i just dont get it:( it is interesting) Today we went to 6 flags.. was fun, anyone else thats gone i am sure you can relate to what im about ot say.. OK before i used to get on the rides and be tight like oh gosh i cant getmy arms out, or i would sit and my legs were crushed by the bar.. Well today i went on Medusa and the Cobra one.. well in medusa i swear to god i was gonna fall out!!! How do these size 0 girls do that! And then in cobra i was holding on for dear life that bar needs to come lower! AGAIN how do these skinny girls make it thru these rides its kinda not fun when ur slidding everywhere and scared ur gonna fall out! thats my rant for the day hope u all had fun
  7. Hi girls, Candra: Oh yes i know the MUM word.. lol you can ask tina, i dont say anything about banded on mine either, Only my close friends and CLOSER family lol members know, meaning only 2 family members.. sad i know. I dont want peoples negativite comments, they already have enough to say about my husbands job life and my kid so i dont need it. I would join a gym again but i found i went really strong for 3 months then id miss a day and well we all know what happens then. Its easier to do it on my own, come winter though that could be WAY different.. Candra also, ill have Cricut with me....... tonight.... lol. Yeah im addicted. Mike said i can get the big one once he finds he has a job... lol, so for now i get to play with the Personal one. But the inlaws are buyin the biggie.. today. It is a pricey lil machine, in 2 days ive spent 60 already and i dont even own one! I bought the sticky cutting paper, and some paper, and one cartridge (winnie the pooh and friends) markers etc. Now im bidding on tinkerbell. Well we are running out the house so i cant finish this.. so ttyl.
  8. Oh tina, i hope you feel better. Yeah i think what it is, is just a sugar overload. Because it sits in our pouch and goes into our system. I hear with RNY it is like they are dieing, literally. So yeah im glad i didnt go that route. It also could be caused by not being able to eat more solid foods?? and then having the sugar on top?? Hugs girl hope you feelin better!
  9. Chris Fitness 19 is an ok gym, the ones in sac dont have a pool or showers or anything but for the money they are great, i signed when it was 9 a month, so i loved it. BUT, check into their personal trainers. That is who i got all mine done thru, for like 20 a session. VERY cheap, and Really does help get to goal. Must, since i lost 31 lbs in 1 month when i was going to them....
  10. Good Morning, Maybe it is a full moon a lot of people are addicted to carbs this weekend.. interesting how we all go thru it at the same time. I found i was snacking even when not hungry... My Mil is comin down today to give me her lil cricut! And shes buying the Expressions (the big one..) So now we can save up until i can get the big one:D Ok better get going.. Candra if you read this ill be calling you around 4.. or as soon as we get down there:D
  11. Thanks heather:D You will be there before you know it at your pace! It has totally slowed though, oh well, doesnt help today i had the WORST eating day ive had in oh 7 months.... stupid decisions and it all went down. Oh well ill start over tomorrow. I think it would be fun too! I can even sell like car decals etc! Talk about FUN!
  12. Hi ladies! Oh yea i am excited about my cricut, i have been thinking of ways to make money off it and it hit me i could do classes with it and let people cut as much as they want for a flat fee.. And do it as a scrapbooking/card making night. And then also sell the cut outs. Riley i wanna ask for .25 also. My thing is some days i can eat 2c or more and then others i can barely eat a shrimp. So i totally know why you want one some days and not the others. We are going to the Bay tomorrow.. Well Vallejo, im excited, i hope mike gets the JOB! We will be at 6 flags at some point:D How was everyones day? I cant stop putting stuff in my mouth!
  13. Cricut IS A BLAST! oh my gosh i spent 3 hours on it yesterday at the in laws, now i want my own, i just bought the winnie the pooh cartridge since my MIL owns all the other ones. This woman is a Collector! Seriously she has a craft store and doesnt use ANY of it. Hey i dont mind i can use it:D And have you ever made your own cards??? Scrapbooking?!?
  14. Riley.. question. If he didnt give you a fill would it Really be a bad thing??? Are you having PB issues at all?? I know he weighs that in. Personally if food isnt easy to go down I dont want a fill... Sounds like you are doing Fantastic without another fill.. You are loosing pretty nicely i think... I would go in in the same thing as normal and be honest about your weight, food etc.. and he most likely would give you a fill anyways. I am sure you dont wanna have to end up doing all sliders..... Just because your fill amnt is smaller then someones doesnt mean anything, its all about your stomach.. and about how easy it is to get food down. Think of it this way lets say you lie wear 5 lbs in weight and get a fill, then you pb so bad you slip your band.. Then you will be pissed that you weren't just honest.. But like i said, if you want a fill he will give you a fill i am sure! Tamra i am thinking the same thing.. i dont know what i am thinking today.. lol, to much snacking, and all on carbs how does that work. Just think of it as oh well tomorrow is a new day. Otherwise it will happen tomorrow too:D
  15. So since i didnt get to scrapbook today:( ive been eating! Ahh darn it. Ive had watermelon, and some cheeze its.. not that many put atleast 10.. and then i had my egg for bfast, and some of mikes tomale for lunch. I really think our mind can loosen and tighten our band.. cause yesterday i had to chew chew chew, today i can swallow whatever and it slips right thru.. I just looked at my strawberries that i bought 24 hrs ago, guess what, they are now moldy! what the hey
  16. Who are these newsboys lol ive never heard of them
  17. Donna HAVE A BLAST!!! I am so pumped to scrap book and got slammed.. my mother moved it down to San Jose with her! Then she wont ship it to me, im pretty sad about the situation.. my mil got the Cricut.. anyone played with that? TALK ABOUT FUNNNNNN!:thumbdown:
  18. Hello ladies! So we went to Denios today, gosh i looove their fruit and vegies:D And we found a new sealed Candy Land and Chutes and laters.. well get this paid 6.00 for both those! They are the originals! Crazy, but auds will use them one day. Then we went to OG, i just got the Zuppatuscany or whatever and salad, because my MIL doesnt know aboutmy banbd and there is no way i will get stuck around her id rather do a slider then worry about that! Tina i agree i dont know why he turns red, its kinda cute:D Shows his friendly side. He knows he is helping us fele so good about ourselves, and i bet he loves how successful our group is, because i know some patients arent.. (if anyone doesnt believe me go to the fill meeting.. there are some people strugglin..) Well i would write more but i have to deal with something for my drama KING, his keyboard came today bent, and hes throwing a HUGE tantrum.
  19. It is a good idea to take them back now! I have a couple things im staring at like darn, why do i have that.. its kinda irritating. Like a huge food processor mike bought for 60.00 that WE NEVER use!
  20. Ok Donna are you out there.... For me i always travel the cheapest way possible... and for us to do that i go on priceline etc. BUT, i have found a hotel i love down there that serves a breakfast. Their eggs are good and band friendly! So i go to Hotwire.com: Discount airfare, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation packages and cruises then you write in ur dates and put American Canyon, dont have a heart attack its 5 miles away from the park:) Ok so then it will pull up the results and it says "3-star hotel in Vallejo - American Canyon" for $58.00 a nite with taxes 70.00... that is a steal considering they are selling their room for double on their site! We have used that site 3 times now and gotten the same hotel each time. They also have a nice workout room. We will be there MOnday night... LOL candra yes ive seen the night eaters disorder.. i would put locks on everything and give the key to mike, i dont get how someone could do it without waking up though. But why they keep the sugars in the house is beyond me! Well ladies, we are going to Denios farmers market.. so ill chat with you later.. OH, mikes interview is at 11:30 on tuesday with MobiTv.. i hope he gets this job, the benifits include KAISER!!! This is the first interview he has gotten where kaiser is included. They also get things like 3 weeks vacation etc.. so hes excited i hope he gets it, im soo tired of this. If he does we are movin to vallejo.. so 6 flags here i come:D PRAYERS PLEASE EVERYONE. Oh to make his chances higher he is asking for the swing shift.. because i guess not many people will take that...
  21. Yes we did.. So now, candra want a 2 yr old, we went shopping after dinner and the river, and well it was shopping in hell... i promise.. We get there shes awesome, half way threw the tantrums and wanting out of the cart starts! By the end lol her diaper fell off.. we put it back on then she TAKES IT OFF AND ditches it lol.. so i said fine lets throw it away.. so daddy gets ready to take her outside.. and she pinches her but or something and gets her dress stuck in the CRACK lolol omg, it WAS SOO FUNNY! I laughed SOOOOOOO hard.. that was our nite:d
  22. Ok i caught up:) Marie i am soo glad you liked Dr Baggs he is great:D We all tease him:) I called him king dr baggs and he got all red:) And then our last fill he tried to not be seen by us lol but he came right thru our room.. the nurse brought us in too early lol..
