AudsMom

Tina toss it all! Anything that says 16 and up!:tongue2: Seriously, Anything with an X in the number also! Tina your perfect for your job im glad you are there to protect our kids:D One day i might be asking you for some parenting advice lol. I dont ever want to loose my baby, but i know the way my parents raised us they woulda lost us lol. I love my monster but sometimes...... i need a break lol. Candra, girl you are 100% normal! We all got nervous at this point... Just call the number in the binder i believe u press three... chris knows that more... she called it more:D lol. I wouldnt wait for ur surgeon to give u a date. ALSO, once they give u a date turn around and say ok do u have any cancelations, cause they cant giveu a cancelation until u get a scheduled apt.. if that makessince! I amso excited for you and jess. I envy it in a way cause i know ur gonna loose 15 lbs fast here:D I am being so lazytoday:( I want to go do something but i dont want to only go with my boring husband and daughter lol. I want a group but people are being lazy sundays too.. ahh, poor me lol. Now auds is crying guess i should go.. ttys

Ok im gonna read everything but wanted to know if any of you wanted to go to the river or to sunsplash or something today we realllly wanna get out of this house.

Tina you are SUCH a strong woman! I am so proud for every ounce you have lost, i think i woulda gained it by now... How did you get ur job anyways? Schooling?

Ok i did the math:D 219 - 160 (bmi 25) = 59 59/100= .59 (50% 29.5, 60% 35.4,65% 38.35) 50% 189.5, 60% 183.6, 65% 180.65 So since surgery ive lost about 55% of my excess BF.. I prefer since orientation lol. BUT, atleast im beating the statistics since i was banded less then 4 months ago... I really wanna loose this last 25 though in less then 18 months... I bet that is why they say not to get prego for 2 yrs... makes soo much since since the statistics say 18 months to loose 50%... huh interesting... I am such a numbers perosn, youd think i loved math... hahaha

Dr Baggs told Tina anywhere between 25-30 bmi... He told me anywhere I am happy. Candra you are so good at long posts in the middle of the nite:D I hope your friend is doing better! Also hope she likes her new home! Christine its nice to see ya around again! So glad you are having a wonderful summer. It will be nice to see ya again! Auds is goin crazy today im thinking she feels better lol. We shut her bedroom door last night and she slept in to 8:30 so pretty good 12 hrs.... I think the damn cat goes in there meowin to wake her up.. and since shes not mean like us and doesnt push him off her bed then she wakes up thinking its a game lol. So i havent doen the couch to 5k since Thurs, but i did it 4 times, so im taking today off also lol, and then gonna go to week 4 on monday like my calendar was slotted to do... it looks like its gonna be harddddd... 3 min run 90 sec walk 5 min run! holy moly. we will see how i handle this one:D BUT if im gonna do the 5k here soon i gotta try to be as ready as possible.... So mikes motherboard fried.. damn it. Stupid laptop. Oh well. Time for a new motherboard. How lame how both our laptops show their time is done at the SAME time! Ridiculous!Atleast mine still is on:D Ok gals ttyl!

Yup i understand that one tina! And you were very smart to get eggs:D Hope it loosens for ya! Ok girls IM EXHAUSTED. And i think auds is sick or something... so im going to bed... before she wakes me up:) Nite!

Riley I dont think we want that kind of restriction, i felt SO bad for Tina at lunch! Seriously! She had 3 bites of scrambled eggs and it didnt stay down. I do not want that id rather work my butt off for this last 25 then starve it. :tongue2: Id love to go campin but not that weekend... sorry:( That weekend doesnt work for me.. my dad who lives in Montana is comin to see me:D Gosh i cant remember what was all wrote:( Heather and Hot and jess we missed you!

YAY go tinnnna! :biggrin: See ya in an hour and a few:D

Tina ill let you know ASSOON as i know anything:D

Hi ladies, goodness chatty lol. So i have told another friend i have band, and because she was in TEARS over her weight and was thinking of rny. This woman seriously barely eats so i told her to go for band not rny or she will get sick.. She said i made her day lol. Went to another food party got some cheese mix and ranch dip, saw Candi, boy that girl is lookin so skinny:) I told her to come on here more often... SSOOO my fill lets see here, I am TIGHT in the morning and lunch, like so tight lets see i tried having a biscuit, and after one bite i knew i was done with that so stuck with scrambled eggs and gravy yummy.. Then lunch about 6 hrs later we went to Sizzler for lunch, ok i was soo good got a TINY salad like you know their square plates i had 1/4 of it of a salad if that, then i got the crab salad (protein) and some of the taco meat stringy kind, and a chicken leg.. then a bowl of clam chowder...... (slider brain yuckie) ok well i had my plate first salad fine, THE CHICKEN ok im eating it eating it then all of a sudden im like i dont feel to hot... im debating on drinking water.. but i did, and it all went down just fine. BUT, it was enough to the point of i stoped. No pbing or sliming or anything just discomfort and i cant eat during it.... THEN COMES THE WILD TREE PARTY! OMG i could eat it all, ask candi lol, the bread Pasta rice no issues:( I did get an upset stomach but not band related. So i Hope im at my sweet spot, but as i told mike i never wanted to not be able to eat... and if thats the case i want a slight unfil so we will see. So my meal sizes are between 1/4-1/3 its all i can get down... drinks to fill me.. uncomfortably... AND im full for 5-6 hrs between each meal. BOY do i hope it lasts.. but i hope it loosens..... Ok girls well im gonna bring wild tree tomorrow so whoever is there can get it:D YAY:)

So i think my fill might be workin ??? I ate bfast probably somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs down in the lobby... well.. i ate that over an hour ago and i feel like i just finished it. I did drink water and got the over full feeling, so i think i might have to wait an hour and half before drinking for a lil while??? We went in the spa and to get there u gotta go thru the bfast area and everyone so i put on my bathingsuit and was like what the hell ill try mikes pants on lol... i putthem on and he was not happy needless to say.. i have NEVER been able to wear the mans jeans, i swear to god i could hold them out 5 inches infront of me! Freakin hillarious! He didnt think it was so funny lololol:D I am SOOO tired! Audrey wouldnt sleep in her pack n play so i pulled her on the bed.. she kept wakn every single hour! sooo tired! So we will run to six flags for a couple hours then home then the wild tree partyh then home to my big comfy bed. I was thinking what better way to have fun and exercise then a disney trip... anyone else up for it?

Oh and Tina i can feel my band a lil more also, well not earlier but right now, lol, im layin down tryin to drink some cocoa and i hear the lil bubbles lol, i think its funny i open my mouth to hear them.... Ive never heard them before so its kinda nifty. I hopppppe i have some restriction come next week when the fill kicks in, maybe not so bad to where i cant eat cause i always wanna be able to eat.. but to stay full for 4 hrs and have a stopping trigger would be nifty:D OH riley! Robin said dont count calories burned against calories exercised or you will get frustrated over not loosing weight. Something with it not evening out. Weired huh.

MY GOSH 3 PAGES! Ok, Candra i know your reading to lol, it was nice seein ya for dinner. Mike thought you were funny. Tina goodness you posted a lot i dont even know what to respond too.. oops.. but girl you must be feelin a little bit better..? I hope??? AND the reason he asked her is he knows she will tattle lol. Um who else posted i cant even think... I am on the 20th also:D AND, i found out i have 7.8 cc in my band.. OK i better freakin be close to the :"sweet" spot and i told him that and he said some peoples sweet spot is at 4cc im like omg no waaaaay! But i guess i had a lot of give in my band today so i got the 1cc, hey i dont mind:D And he asked if i wanted to come back next month or in 2.. ill take next month JUST IN CASE! Tina bread is so not a good thing to get to eat, remember CARBS!!! omg such a weakness id much rather not be able to swallow the crap! Seriously! I am really hoping this is the sweet spot so i can get the rest of this weight off within a couple months so i can stop stressing and start living and learning more:D I think my mom wants a band but she said she wants to try south beach first.. she says im working way hard and she sees that and thinks sb would be easier, and if it doesnt work then..... she asks if anyone isnt successful, i said not in MY GROUP! Cause we all rock:D ok i know a disadvantage to loosin weight.. im sitting here in bed audreys beside me then mike.. and i have probably 8 inches on both sides.. so plenty of space. i guess i liked her not sleeping in the big bed lol. We will see how long she sleeps......... OK off to bed for me since i had to miss six flags today we are goin in the am, then rushin home i hear ihave some Wild Tree waiting for me... thats i guess if my delivery came same day then i get to shuffle it oh yay! Then i get to GO to a wildtree party whats cool is its at my friends house that lives in mine and Mikes very first apartment together. Its the one where we had our first date and everything. He lived there then i moved in.. so 8 yrs ago now, inscane! Ok nite yall:D

Fill went great, i just love seeing the nurse and dr baggs they make me feel so empowered and good about myself:D I got 1cc. Im gonna email for the exact number that im up to for my blogs, i coulda swore he said 7.8 but im gonna make sure cause i thought i only had 6.3 last time.. so ill post more on that later:D No pain lots of laughs:) We have to go to san jose:( mikes temp agency there wants to meet him in person ahhh:( so candra ill call on the way back up if we are around here during the day time.. we are thinking of staying another nite up here. Since we aregettn jipped out of park time:( Im gonna figure this all out ill be back on laters:D

Hi Hot 42... Well you probably wont get the referal. It is 35bmi with co morbidities, or 40 without. I wouldnt recommend gaining the weight to get here either... the surgeons will say something:D BUT, dont freak me out about the iud lol, i got one of thsoe. Keep meaning to get hte sucker out but im afraid of drs lol.. Let us know how your appt goes:D

OH candra i so didnt get your post about dinner, i woulda loved that youshoulda seen us driving around searching for dinner.. not a fun picture.. BUT we are staying in town for a lot of tomorrow.. id love to see ya, and we could meet up tomorrow night? Riley what did baggs say about a sooner fill? Glad you had fun camping, not sure if you read my story lol so glad u covered the fun for both of us:D Sorry about ur food issues... only time i have a tough time with bread is when i try to eat a bread roll, like subway kind.. but it just gives me a pain for about 1 min then goes down. Im sure after i hit my sweet spot it prob wont.. I am gonna start posting my food again here after the fill.. i have been under a lot of depression lately so staying at my weight has been NO FUN.,.. OHHH we got the email..... Elie emailed mike and told him temporarily they are closing the position, because of financial hardships and will be contacting him as soon as it opens back up, and that he feels bad and yadda freakin yadda. IM DONE< im soooo done! I can't handle this anymore! 3 more weeks till hes open to go back to intel and as long as daves not a dick thats where hes going i just hate that we have to do this. Why why why.,.. apparantly god doesnt want us in san jose..... :thumbup: Between my family drama and the work drama i cant stop crying these last two days.. i hope we get a break. ok love ya girls see some of ya tomorrow!!!:eek: hugs

Oh Christine! You are gonna be proud of me:D Atleast if i remember right you will... We used Hotwire for our hotel room this time:) Priceline got on my nerves lol....

Mike and I are heading out to Six Flags, we are staying in American canyon so i dont have to drive 2.5 hrs to get to the fill in the morning.. Less tempted to get a coffee again that way. AND i am wearing the exact same outfit, because according to my scale i am still at 185 meaning im only down 4 lbs! AND i need every one of those lbs to show tomorrow:( I put a pony tail in my darling lol too funny.. OH we are also going to 6flags tomorrow if anyone wants to go. My drs have told me i have always had a dead metabolism, because yeah never being able to loose even on dr authorized diets, and unlike you tina i could do a water diet or all vegie or atkins, and guess what, i never lost a damn pound.. but that is all in the past i am ready for my future! AND the excersize and weight loss sooo makes since! I also find though if you under workout you also dont loose, somehow we are supposed to find the happy medium lol. GO US! Ok im ready to go... Have fun girls see ya in the morning 9:30 right?? DONNA, your comin right??

Candra Jess, i am so proud of both of you! You guys are gonna be banded SOOOOO SOON! I can taste it;)

Ok so im gonna probably get yelled at lol, but i dont think age has as much to do with it as we think.. here is why... Riley... Me and Riley were at the EXACT same Orientation, meaning we started the same day. Yes her surgery was a couple weeks ahead of me, but she is still loosing steadily faster then me, and here is the thing.. she is not 24... So ladies.. it can be done! ALSO, Christine is a star weight loss we know this.. she also is not 24.... I think it has more to do with, what we are all eating, how much we are all working out, and how much we are doing what each individual body needs. Hence why im playing with the same darn 2 lbs for the same 2 weeks.. just like the rest of everyone. Heather is doing Awesome, but i would not credit it to her age at all.. that is just not fair to do. Because i hate to say something I HAVE NEVER been able to loose weight, that is why i was 12 years old and considered obese already... For 12 years i dieted.. NEVER could loose more then 15 lbs.. which wasnt even 10%.. It just all stuck, only time i lost 30 is after i had my baby from the time i got prego till the time i had her i lost a 34 extra lbs.. but then gained it back in the first year:) Sorry i havent been on ive been very stressed out lately. Lots of family stuff going on. Keep your prayers up Elie said we will here by friday. I am just hoping he gets anything at this point..:thumbup::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::thumbup::crying::ohmy::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Jess you are so close! How exciting! I remember those days:D But also the nerves, fears etc. Also i kept thinking i could do it on my own since i lost so easy on the preop lol. So you probably have a ton going thru your head:) But you are gonna do great! Let us know how your CM appt goes:D Tina how are u feelin today?

Tina, i dont think he will do 1cc.. i believe max is .5.... :smile: sorry. But your loss is AWESOME!

So does anyone wanna escape the heat this weekend, we wanna go camping at the beach. Chris made me realize where its cool at... and that sure as heck is not the mountains lol. Unless we go to Lake tahoe.. Even there is warm..
