AudsMom

I thought it was some yummy cream or something.:crying:

What is a Mallo?? Yeah robin really isnt that tough, i am starting to like her and feel bad for her. I havent gotten in trouble yet for my carby Snacks that auds shares graciously with mommy.. lol.. dr baggs just says you are obviously doing sommmmmmething right:D Not sure what that SOMETHING is lol. Oh wait i do.. the ladies on here that are my friends:D I wanted a coffee today but we ended up skipping it and going to Michaels instead.. My mil got a cricket so we have been playin with that. Candra dont worry about Liz, just do your test and dont show her any weakness:) Just smile and if you dont know where something is look for it and ask her whichsection. She is very helpful, i got 1 question halfway wrong, it was about the what causes us to get stuck.. and i said 2 of the reasons but missed i believe it was eating to fast.. or something stupidlike that. She just wants to know HOW you have lost all that weight:D You are doing so well! Jess, how would sept be ur surgery time did you do all ur tests already?? My tests were ordered in Jan after i saw dr baggs, but i am a procrastinator and wanted to do them AFTER i saw liz.. which was a good thing. She will try to get you into surgery within the time frame or u will have to redo them. Do you have a trip or something you are going on?? Pam have fun! Tina: girl, you are GLAD i dont live near by i would be your sabbotage and MINE! lol:) We are going to the river in about an hour.. auds is takin her nap first.. im kinda lookin forward to it even though its not that hot out today.. but should be fun:D We got soo many lurkers.. why isnt anyone posting.........

Wow my chatty girls! Marie let usknow how it goes:D Candra just know the binder, where you find things etc.. You only get really asked about it if you get a question wrong. :crying: Thanks jess, ill tell mike:) He is IT. He was going for technician rolls, but i guess hes a jr level engineer according to who he is interviewing with. But that is not a good thing, because they are either looking for tech support or engineers. AND, since the job market is sooo infatuated with people applying they are going for the highest educated for lil money. whatever ridiculous lol. Well we are going yard saling ttyl.

Nite all! I just flushed the dead fishie and her murderer down the toilet!

Tamra your menu seems fine, maybe less potatoes?? they are a high carb... idk.. but looks good to me atleast:D

OH, mike got 2 interviews today 1 we are canceling though.. 1. Lithia Motors... in Montana.. 2. Some corporation in Emeryville... Hopefully it pans out the lady said they are being picky and only 5 people are going for the interviews.. so we will see, im done holding my breath though.

Candra: Liz is pretty easy just be sure dont tell her you eat anything mixed, ie vegie and protein, not something she likes lol..:laugh: Be sure to have your test totally finished. Then she schedules ur surgery, super easy super fast! Coffee: lol you girls make me want one SOOOO bad! There is a java detour here that is MY ABSOLUTE favorite place EVER! But i dont like coffee i like the sweet drinks.. lol. Riley how exciting i am so glad it fit and made you feel AMAZING! I have a dress i used to wear when i was a kid that i fit so i know the feeling it is soo unexplainable:) So i am sooo happy for you:) I did the C25K today W4 D2 and it is getting suprisingly easier daily, i think they invented that perfectly. Ok my menu for today wasnt so grand, you will see i dont feel anything anymore lol..:tt2: Thurs July 30 B: Omelet 300 cal L: Egg Salad and cheese stick 150 cal D: 1/2 Sirloin brussle sprouts 150 cal S: gold fish.... 300 cal:( E: c25k w4d2

Tamra! That is HILARIOUS!!! I do have to admit i remember those days though. I right now forget about food, and only really eat cause im bored..if i was out and about id probably forget about it but ill be sitting here or feeding audrey and take a bite. I am not having issues of stuck anymore though.. But this might be my sweet spot, cause i am happy for 4-6+ hours at a time, and im eating under a cup at each meal. And since the other day im not stuck. One of my friends that was with me when i had the issues thinks i was tight due to stress.. Makes since.

Robin at the fill said that Liz followed it and lost 75 lbs. It is a great program!

Lets do next Thursday so maybe others can join in. And that will give me time to get some nylons:) Does any dress work? 4 weeks woo hoo:D I had a feeling though since u did ur labs:D

Weigh in after surgery?? we go once a month because of fills. Pre surgery i never went in for a weigh in. My appts were not as lucky as most of the girls, there were never appts available until at least a month a part from each other besides the psych - surgeon one.. but the surgeon to liz one because she was on a 2 week leave it was 3 weeks till i got to see her.. But you can always go in for a weight check:D

No you shouldnt need it to feel full if anything you will feel more hungry:) Yeah weird i know:) Did you see what i wrote about the salsa dancing earlier?

Candra the drinking.. i didnt stop until the day of surgery.. something just clicked.

Candra: you could never hate your band.. I have never regretted it.. or disliked it or asked what was i thinking. I loved it the moment i got out of surgery.. i was sore and in pain, but i was soo excited to start my new life. Tamra: You never know 32 really isnt much.. i was already down that plus a lil before seeing dr baggs so if i hadnt maybe he would have given me the same number, you never know:) You will do it! Great!

Maria: you are going to do fine:) Dr Baggs is awesome! It will be nice to get your goal weight:) Maria how does Unemployment work? Are the extensions automatic or is it another 1 weeek wait?? We are trying to figure that out right now, since that is whats feeding us... Tina: I really hope your not on the list, I have seen a couple cps jobs for local organization on craigslist.. might want to check them out?? i guess they arent called CPS but they do call it like child protection and counceling etc. Tamra: weighing naked is alllll of our favorite times:D And whats interesting is before surgery you are practically naked when they weigh you:) Buy a summer dress and use it as your new weigh in dress.. Weigh in in the same thing every single time. Try to get one that weighs less then a half a lb:) Candra: i dont have a salsa dress but i am ready.. i can wear any dress:D I think the classes are on thursday nites.. so if youwanna get away tonight im game or next thursday let me know. I could REALLY use a girls nite:D As for me and food.. looks like im on the loosing path again hope it keeps up. I am able to eat anything again. what the heck i loose 3 lbs and im lose as a goose again. Oh well.. its still not 2 weeks past the fill so i can still tighten up. Needless though if i dont im only going to ask for .25 unless im able to eat a ton. I want to tippy toe into my sweet spot.. But i could also be there now.. if i eat good protein im full for up to 6 hours at a time. If i do a snack in between it lasts me another 6 hrs.. snack can even be some crackers... so we will see. My mil made some peach tea i could NOT get enough of it yesterday talk about DELICIOUS! OMGosh. I need to figure out her recipe:D As for exercise well our car was in the shop yesterday so we didnt get home till ten so there went my walk, and then this am i woke really late so im gonna try to get my c25k in tonight. This might end up screwing up my week 4 but i will just add an extra day:) I am looking forward to fall.. but not exactly winter. Riley the walk sounds great, but not this weekend that is way to short of notice for me..

OH my band is way different today, couldnt feel anything (love it that way.. sometimes........) I even had yes shhhh a pancake.. shhhh That shows u though how loose i was today.

Riley your family is beautiful! Tell your daughter i said congratulations!

Go Candra!!! YAY how exciting! I am so happy for you:D AND JEss, and everyone. Tamra girl that can all be gone in 4 weeks. If you look back at the first 6 pages you will see from orientation i was 264 then at my psych appt 4 weeks later i was 232.. yes that is right in 1 month i lost 32 lbs, AND dont ask me how.. not a freakin clue:) ALL i can say is i wanted it sooo bad. I personally agree that it was easier pre band, i think now, its harder cause we have to get just enough cals etc.. BUT, i would probably have gained it all back by now.. like always. I am so happy from everyone and we are all going to be at goal SOO soon!:juggle: Sorry id respond more but im dead tired.. good nite!

Hi Rosie!!! Welcome to the group!

Wow we are all getting to be the same size, how AWESOME! Maybe ill get to inherit clothes soon!!!! GO GIRLS!!! So, today im havin no eating issues.. im not a starvin im eating cause well its kinda past lunch time.. but i had a bite of auds pband j and it went down fine! What the heck! I like being able to eat bread.. but.. you know:D

Anyone gotten surgery with Champ VA? My friend here in cali is wanting to do it, but we have to find surgeons that take it. Any experience would be helpful! Thanks!

Wow! He fell asleep! I could imagine how upset that made her.. That would upset m e also..

Yeah i think ill let her sleep in it. Poor thing. I know right now has to be hard for her also. But i miss her big girl bed:( She did so well in it for soo long, then me being stupid.. lol. Oh well i guess she will go back when she is ready. How is everyone doin today

Tamra don't be worried. And it could take a few months you never know it all depends on your weight loss and their schedules. The psych one is the only appt you can really progress to before you are at goal weight. Go in there and tell him you only want the band, you dont want RNY if he fights you over it ( i doubt he will) then tell him you are swapping surgeons. You have the right to call and ask for a different surgeons im sure people do it all the time. After all this is the person who will be doing all your aftercare also. They dont only cut us open:D Fisher is known to be harder on weight loss.. so you never know. We will help you loose the 30.. it can be done you will be suprised. Believe me I am... I never lost more then 20.. and i lost almost 50 pre surgery.. so i believe you can do it!:biggrin:

Ive created a monster.. we put her in her pack n play last night to sleep and well she slept in.. well for nap i put her in her toddler bed and she threw a cry fit over it.. i put her in her pack n play and she happily went to sleep. What the heck? I think maybe its the security? Maybe?? any ideas?
