Oh Nicole don't tell people I did the math!! LOL. I am not 100% sure it is right since I used my own math forumla to get there..............LOL Careful with the fills~~I started out not being able to drink much than one day I couldn't drink anything..........just watch it ladies beon the safe side!!And wishing you all your sweet spot..... Yea I hope to get a decent fill on the 3rd........but if not I will go back sooner than six weeks..............so I MIGHT get to the next fill but maybe not..............

Just talked to Nicole ..............that girl rocks!! She is so honest and up front about things which is one reason she is so successful. That girl tells the truth whether is is good or bad which is what ya have to do to be successful at this whole weight loss thing...............Nicole is a weightloss rock star!!! Girl I think you have broken all lap band records so far...........what are you at 60% of your weight now?? Sounds like the fill went GREAT. Telling you girls if I was at 8cc's you could just call the funeral home and take me away...............that makes me hurt inside to think about that!! LOL!! Hopefully I will see everyone on Saturday!! Still waiting to find out.............. Lunch next week. I need to check my work schedule but Thursday or Friday sounds good........ Can 't wait till the 3rd Candra and Jes............we are gonna rock the pre op class!! I promise I won't chew gum or bring in a Big gulp coffee or something..........not IV drip caffiene............actually I am having a fill that day so I will be having a starbucks decaf on the way there and nothing else till I go home................

well maybe the morale of the story is to get a tattoo while we still have some chubby on us!! LOL. I thought about RNY too but glad I didn't do that. At least with the band you can add or take fluid out as needed. Seriously if I would have had issues last week with RNY I could have been in the hospital. As it was it was a quick fix with the band just taking some fluid out.......... Band is the best you can make it work for you whether fill or unfill is needed..............scares me to think what would have happened last week if I had RNY!!

I am really close to 205 right now..........206.1 I bet I just jinxed myself with that comment though!! :-P

No woozy after a fill. Might feel some tightness but no usually. Totally easy.............just you can't eat right away.....fluids and you have to just see how it goes........with each fill/unfill ........you have to take a couple of days to learn how to work with it.........like see what foods work............what gets stuck and ...........just see how to work with the fill.............. Only the first fill did I feel pressure but I got 2ccs which is alot.........as much as I had taken out.......... the surgery is the most intense part once your done with that your home free Jess........................

thinking about my fill girls....................:-) Wishing you a great appointment and the perfect fill!!

might need to put up a stick for me too........looks like I have a game this weekend.......MIchaela is gonna find out after practice today if she is playing or not this one..........being a freshmen and all she might not get to play the first one...............:-)

Trying to be there Donna...........wanting to be there but not sure yet!! I am keeping hope alive........... I like the Band of sista's name!! Donna I got some books for ya!! Reading some really good books lately!! Heather looking though your FB page. Girl you have lost so much weight already..............WOW!!

La Chica congrats make sure you are on time that day they lock the door if your even five minutes late..........and yep don't diet until AFTER orientation!! I would love to go on a cruise but I seriously hope I am not a lady of the traveling band!!! LOL. La Chica you crack up me!! I don't want my band to travel that would called a slippage and require another surgery!! LOL. LOL. Althought since I have no restriction and can't feel my band it is entirely possible I am a sister of the traveling band!! (we are sisters of surgery but that traveling band thing is sorta catch in a very scary sorta way!!) Very funny!! Ah all my girls at at Kaiser!! Give a shout out to Dr. Baggs ladies..............put in a good word for me about a lap band 5150 rescue or some type of restriction interventions.............or hell maybe just steal a needle for me!! LOL!!

Ah Pam wish you were there on the third. And yea I had to make my own appointment for my next fill. I did't trust them to call me. I have to stay on top of cause I want that next fill so bad!! Pam, Pam, Pam...............have a fun back to school night I know you feel back to school night is really important study wise and all for your kids..........so you rock that outfit girlfriend!!! LOL. Enjoy it and do tell what happens!!

Tamra eat before you go and drink alot of water all day. And just taste a bit............ I always tell my daughter I can taste it I just can't eat it!!! Meaning one bite than move on....................cause sometimes I just wanna know what it taste like so I feel included. Of course when the band is adjusted right you don't want or need more than a taste unless you want it to get stuck or come back up!! Beautiyof the band!! It keeps the temptation or at least make overdoing anything an ordeal!! :-) Not that I would know about overdoing anything!!

I am here no fill for me today...........Wuuu Saaaa!! :-) I decided I better work today even though I already had it off to go to the fill. To much going on at work to take a sick day right now......

Heather we think the same. I was thinking of heading to the fair after our meeting and lunch...........still waiting to see when MIchaela has her game this weekend and hoping I will be able to make it to the group this weekend. Hey that Shrink Yourself book is really good. Talks about alot of head hunger stuff and it pretty right on. Heather where is the book club thing your talking about I want to do that!!

YEa I have two scales. I believe them when they both are the same!! MOst of the time they are...........and when they both match than it is usually the same at Kaiser. Last time Kaiser was only 1 pound more than my scales and I had to weight in jeans.........because it was a last minute appointment!! :-P I told Dr. Baggs if I had planned ahead I wouldn't have worn jeans.......I didn't know I had to weigh to get an unfill............

Dr. Fischer will not recognize you when you loser your weight since he made you weigh so long and all!! LOL.

Thanks Nicole. I think I see you more than Candi I haven't seen her for a long time............this will be another excuse to get together for lunch again??? Any takes for lunch soon?? I am excited to get the oils. I almost used up the little ones I got last time. Yummy stuff!! Oh Christine you could put some of the oil on brussel sprouts that would be good!! Candi might not have them yet but maybe. I just haven't been able to talk to her since last weekend!! Miss you guys tomorrow!!

Breakfast: 2 sausages (veggie) 160 Lunch/Dinner: Lentils (1cup) 230 Veggie Chicken 160 That is all so far and I am ready to go to bed...........way to tired today and not a bit hungry. Hey girls if Candi brings my Wild Tree oils tomorrow could someone take them for me?? Nicole your probably the closest to me.........could you get them and I will meet up with you for lunch or something??

Hey Ladies finally home.......... Not sure about this weekend Donna but if I come I will go to lunch after!! My daughter just got on the volleyball team and they already have a game this weekend......waiting to find out what time and where the game is. But ya all know that if I can be there I WILL!! Have to pack my office on Sunday I guess we are moving sooner rather than later!! I tried to start today but to hard to work and pack at the same time......budget hearings tomorrow so we will see how it goes......hopefully just moving no layoffs. I am stressed out today and don't feel like eating. I get like that when it is hot and stressful..........ah if only every day could be over 100 I might be of a normal size and stature!! LOL. Folsom.........well my PCP said in April that she thought Bariactricss was coming to sacramento. She mentioned fills in particular..........she said it would be within six months or so........but when I asked Richmond they said they didn't know...........I guess I would not be suprized. But than I would want to have my Richmond doctor but to be able to go to Folsom.....conflict of interest................ oh trying to eat and slow day from the day............getting off the computer

Morning all working already this morning............busy day so I don't know how much I will check in today!! But I do read what you guys are posting!! LOL. Wow Pam your one year is next week!! And you have lost alot ot weight. I bet your feeling good!!

Nite ladies.........Hey donna you coming to the pre op class too?? DId we talk your job?? Wow JEs and Candra you have an army of support. I think Liz and Robin would love to see this!!

Candra your hilarious!! I was laughing while reading your summary but what is funny is your right, exactly right.........LOL!!

Nicole yea something is up girl!! Sounds alot like a panic attack but maybe you need to get a physical or something. I am worried about you............maybe tell Dr. B when you go in this week!!

yea pre op was alot of stuff!! But you'll be so glad you have it.......I didn't want to get out and go shopping at all that first week. I had surgery on Monday and was out and on Sunday but only for an hour it tired me out to bad............so nice to have everything at home. I also washed my PJ's and sweats and had them all folded and ready by the shower. So nice to just put on a clean pair after a shower without having to find them. Luck for me I had enough comfy PJ type clothes to last all week............that was one thing I was so glad I set out ahead of time...........a strange comfort thing.........than and I bought a new soft, soft robe pre op that I wore and slept with that first week...... Oh and if you have a lazy boy move it to where you can see the TV BEFORE surgery.........I didn't and had to beg one of my guest to move it for me post op.......so I could chill and watch TV. The first two days I could only LISTEN to the TV since no way I was moving that chair anywhere.........never mind I could barely get in and out of it..........LOL. And don't lay on the couch to sleep when you get home from surgery!!! LOL> I did that and when I woke up like 6 hours later I realized I could not get off the couch......it took me 45 minutes of twisting and crawling to figure out how to get up without using my stomach muscles...........of course I don't have a man living here to pull me off the couch.........LOL. Lazy boy was the only way to go post op getting up and down.......still hurts but doable!! Ah watch out for the cats that jump on your port!! My darn cat still does that and now it is not so bad but seriously why do they always find the exact spot where the port is??

anyone else see Oprah?? Interesting..............very right on!! I like Dr. Oz.............he is very direct sorta like Dr. Baggs very honest and blunt about things!!

Jes my safety nets with men have never worked!!! I am crazy in love a huge downfall........................LOL!!
