You go girl im sooo excited for you guys:D SO my band is loooosey goooosey today.. I had bfast just fine andnow im snacking on watermelon, oh goodness. lol.

LOL too funny gotta love drs:D Candra did you ever call the girls for your Case Manager appt??? Liz is the one to schedule your surgery.... I dont want you to have to redo your labs.. cause they have to be done like 4 weeks or something before surgery......

Oh no Riley i hope you feel better very soon!

Yea pam that is exactly what it does! What i think is crazy, is most overweight people dont eat like that just to eat.. i dont get it. I once dated a guy that thought my fat belly was sexy lol, we didnt make it more then a month cause he wanted me to eat and eat and i was like wanting to loose weight not put it on...

Tina its just like the bachelor and bachelorette, just heavy set women. And instead of all the girls talkin about how hot they are, you have all the girls talkin about how its their last chance. It does show that he finds love, so thats exciting.. OH PAM did you notice at the get together they do there was FOOD THERE! I have never seen teh regular romance shows have food during the "get to know" time... Also how many times did you hear them mention "what do you like to eat" "what do you want me to cook for you" its like, they found the people in the worst state of mind for the show...

Pam i totally agree! They shoulda gotten a hot skinny guy that likes us voluptuous ladies! The show kinda portrays over weight girls, as emotional, dieing for attn, women... when most of us were never that way... Tina: funny you say reno we are looking at going there for the night since to apply you have to go in person to most of the places... so we will see. Iwish i could get sleep in lately that isa joke.. auds sleeps in longer then mommy:(

thereitgoes, don't be worried. Her story is a rare one. My surgeon does my fills, and he does the poke for the numbing and that does sting a lil but no worse then a shot... Then he circles my port with a pin and goes in with the fluid to do the fill, he hits it on his first try.. and i dont ever have any bruising or anything. You just feel some pressure. Don't be worried.. it should be ok:)

Pam, I agree.. the girls i think lied. I think what they use are the Drivers License weights.. i know mine used to be 30 below my actual... now its 50 higher:D lol but do you know what i mean. They had girls my height that looked like they were wearing 22/24 and saying they weighed 200.. i was like uh huh ya right. I agree it is sooo sad how they were fawning over him like he was their last chance. I don't get it, I was never that way even when heavy... so maybe they wanted the most depressed girls for the show??? Oh and i didn't think he was so dreamy like they said.. interesting show. I wonder if any of the girls were NOT into him.....? I am up for a lunch next Thursday..:biggrin: Let me know when and where i have to bring our waitress her pizza dough:) And reggie her stuff... Oh tina! Your stuff is being shipped directly to you:) Just so you know:D Let me know when you get it. Tamra: everyone did the Preop Diet the way they wanted to, so you are doing great:D Good Luck today, i am very excited for you! Let us know how it goes! Tina, this is inscane! I am shocked how they are 1. letting a lot of inmates out this year to lower cost for the state, but then at the same time, putting our kids in more danger. Everyone is worried of CPS takin their children... parents arent going to be scared anymore. Its quite frustrating.

I feel really bad for those of you that are always dealing with sliming etc. I know none of us signed up for that.. so i hope you get better. :thumbup:

Tina i hope you arent on the list at all, you are such a great person, and we need someone out there we can trust to take care of some of the kids.:thumbup: I am gonna try my hardest not to slime tomorrow when it happened that one time today i kinda freaked and changed my pace etc....also today i was kinda not at home every time i ate and i was helping my friend.. But tina i dont know how you have put up with it. To me it doesnt feel normal, and noooooway will i live this way im to stubborn:) So is anyone watching the More To Love show??

LOL riley id rather an unfill then to do that again. Im gonna pay more attn. I have a lot going on right now, and think maybe my stress is causing the band to tighten? Who knows i just want it to stop. If i throw up again tomorrow im calling. IM sorry that is not how we are meant to live.....

LOL riley do you remember the chick she made throw away her gum? lol i told mike he was like wow...

So tina ill take some of that soup....... I might be too tight. Goodness, im living in your foot steps. im loosing again.. but its not gonna keep up if i cant eat. I missed bfast due to a lot of stress, but yea i went to grass valley with auds and had a piece of chicken outa her chow mein, guess what i felt that piece of crap chicken! Didnt come up.. ok good im done but im done eating lol. 4 hrs later i try some shrimp with my shrimp salad.. ok guess what.. yeah you guessed it i felt it. I had to wait 5 min for it to go down then i could eat some salad and stuff again but nothing more then 1/4 a cup if that. a total of 2 shrimp and 5 pieces of salad cut lettuce.. so yeah not much.. Ok dinner time... we went to sizzler.. i had a lile clump of salad and some taco meat.. welllll ate the taco meat just fine, go to my salad, i get the stuck feeling but worse then ever before.. and i decide ok i gotta get this out. So i go to the bathroom, and jeez, i slimmed.. it was SOO GROOSE. Slimmy balls of clear liquid. Finally after i felt like i was choking on slime, my salad came right back up.. NOW this is new for me, I NEVER vomit, i hate vomiting. I reject it.. i couldnt this time:( I will take an unfill and be loose rather then deal with this! I come out of the ladies room and i had a crab leg and i decided i was gonna eat it.. cause i need to eat SOMETHING today.. it went down PERFECTLY! No pain, not a darn thing! then i had a sizzler bowl of chowder lol. You know those lil bowels... im happy now. Do you guys find that maybe our pouch makes up a bunch of slime thru the day and thats why we get stuck?? cause once i emptied it i could eat fine.. i dont get it. But i need to pay more attn to chewing and stop eating.. crazy!

What is wrong with this state omg! Girls i am so sorry! But i can tell you what im scared out of Cali seriously this is OUT OF CONTROL. I have a baby she is gonna have shitty school, and out of control school mates.. What more can we take!

Tamra think of it this way.. Me and Riley had an orientation together nither of us (i believe) had coffees.. now look at everyone in your orientation they say one or two people will actually finish the process..... So be glad that you took step number one to start your new life. Whats funny is when we bring up the people who brought coffees to orientation robin gets irritated that they are still at that point. Because by orientation you should be ready... So girl, you go girl! AND remember you will surpass everyone and loose the weight:D I had to wait a month for my appt and by then i was down 31 lbs.. so the pscych sent me over to baggs the next week then bags put me in for liz, but she was on a stupid vacation lol. It does go VERY FAST once you hit goal:)

Pam im so glad he liked it more! I remember i took a healthy ways class with kaiser they had us eat a raisin mindfully, smell it, touch it, taste it.. ya a raisin! Id much rather eat a hershey kiss mindfully lol

Reggie i seriously think you need a fill. You are still doing great though! Tina girl im worried about you. Is it worse then it was at lunch?? I do think eating to survive is nice.. but is it too much?? I feel my fill now i might be at the sweet spot. No sliming or pbing, but especially in the ams, like today I had an egg for bfast and i had to sit back and take a bite let it go down and wait a second before i continued.. Its like your pouch goes dry and forgets what food is.... Lunch though was fine and dinner. I am just tighter in the ams. I do stay full for 4-6 hrs though which is nice.. and im back down to needing 1/3 c protein.. which is nice. I hope it stays JUST like this.

OUCH Riley Ouch! Do you think it woulda been better with Water??? Or was it just the carbonation?? I have heard it can take a while to kick in.

So what is everyone doing today? How is work for those that are working?

Believe me I tottttally understand the whole finances issues! If anyone does its me.. our income right now is under 2k for a family of three:) I understand girls! I can do Six flags unlimited though cause we bought passes when we were working.... I also have free parking so we can carpool in:) Candra it is hard i agree, but think of it this way if it wasn't we wouldn't be progressing....:crying: You are doin bomb girl! Just do last week again and again and again:) Better then givin up!:thumbup:

Ok i have a problem my kid is gonna kill my cat! She used to be so sweet with the cat.. now she is so rough on him:( I dont know what to do! I keep spanking her hands:( but she just cries and yanks on his throat harder! Any toddler and kitty obsession advice???

Oh man i cant do it this day, any other day and i can...... I have the 5k the next morning, i dont wanna over do it.. And that is territory that is new for me so could leave me sore:( Who wants to go to Six Flags on August 15.. we are planning to go again, and i wanted to see if anyone else wanted to go:D We can go during the afternoon when the crowd dies, or we can go during the day. We like going afternoon staying the nite then going the next morning..:crying:

Tamra, you will do just fine! Seriously:) You will see just talk to us, follow the binder in a way.. not 100% but tweak it. I know candra tweaked hers to 5 times a day 1/2 cup each time, no carbs at all. Heather is doin somethin right, ask her i don't know her plan:) Me i just counted my cals... made sure i made good choices 80% of the time:D lol. We will help encourage you to goal! It can be done and you will do soo great!

Ok sounds good:) tamra at our orientation (me and riley) 3 people brought starbucks, and robin nutritionist got sooo mad. It threw her off and they ended up having to throw their coffee away... Also the girls chewing gum got to spit that out. You just never want the chance of being an example.. atleast i dont:) I am so excited for you! I remember how nervous and excited i was for orientation! congrats girl!

Tamra mine lasted till 11:45.. was supposed to go to 12. We saw the surgeon, the case manager, a nurse ( i think) and the nutrtionist.. So it sounds like the same:D Have fun! DONT bring starbucks, or gum:D And dont dress light........
