Same with me Candra. Very few people know I am banded but you guys and few friends.............I need people to be careful what they post on FB as well. I just don't want to have to explain things. I also am careful what I post.......I just take the weight loss buddies approach since everyone knows I am losing weight.........I just think we all need to be careful on FB and can't be as open as we are on here!! :-) Thanks Candra for the reminder!!

Pam only 22 pounds away from your 100 pound celebration!!!

Ok headed to bed but here are the books I got.............. 1. Nice Girls Finish Fat: Put yourself first and change your eating forever Karen Koenig 2. The Success of Weight Loss Surgery Patients Collen M. Cook- ( this one looks really good Donna I wanted to show you this one to give you some idea for the group) 3. Shrink Yourself. breaking free of emotional eating forever Roger Gould MD Ok excited to read them and than I can pass them on if they are any good............. I had to finish reading Eclipse but now back to self help for a bit................godd timing with no restriction and all!!

I can't find my pedo Riley. I need to buy one........... I did way better with exercise when I had it. Keep asking me I need to get back on track with exercise......LOL

Pam I will pass the book on to you when I am done. No need for you to buy it unless you want to.........I still have the Beck solution from Candra........I need to finish it up and than give it back to Candra so she can lend it out again!! Riley they didn't have the workbook when I was at the bookstore they said you have to order it..............

Well Pam I just don't like him giving mixed messages. I am pretty sure he knows you like him.......I just hope he doesn't hurt you. Maybe just assume friends and than be suprized if anything else?? Working in his classroom will be good.........give you an idea in a non stressful enviroment where he stands. Just don't want you hurt over the whole thing is all?? I don't like mixed messages from men................to confusing and people get hurt. Ok, ok, I will stay out of your business.............sorry just don't want a man making you crave vanilla ice cream!! :-)

The pre op class is people having surgery in September. Most of the people there you will see post op at group fills.......if you have group fills.

New book ladies that I am reading...... 1. Press Pause before you Eat ...say goodbye to Mindless eating and say hello to the JOys of Eating Dr. Lina Mintle Just starting but looks really good. I got some books today to read............I will post the others they all look good............

Ah Pam your like me I like the bad boys and the men who give mixed signals spark my interest!! Maybe you better make this a ME year.........LOL. Except your almost a year out already..........maybe that is why he is coming around because you almost done with your ME year!! Let me know Pam it would be fun to ride together. LOL. I forgot about the fill I was so excited about hanging out with you guys!! LOL. I guess we could have a clear soup...........yuck!!

The first part is Liz the second part is Robin. Candra I will try to get there by on time but I need to see if I can get my daughter a ride that day first. Otherwise I will be close to 9am depending on traffic. Liz might like us there or we might be a distraction......like if I come in chewing gum or saying not to follow the diet or something!!LOL...............I am not totally perfect and I know she wants to stress following the rules...........which I agree with but I do have my mess ups sometimes!! I think as long as I don't talk to much!! LOL. I will let you know when it gets closer. Could you find out for sure if it is 8 or 8:30??

Have fun tomorrow guys if I lived closer I would go too!! Yea pump than all for information tomorrow guys!!

Maybe I can get my dad to bring my daughter to school that day and I can leave a bit early. I think LIz would be easier to deal with if I am there on time and just come in with you guys rather than showing up late!!! LOL!! Excited about seeing you guys there!!

Pam let me know cause we could ride together maybe over there??

Hey Pam ya get a fill on the 3rd!! We can have our own Kaiser group that day!! Maybe stop to eat on the way home or something!! Same with me I am fine with either of you coming in to see a fill but I do think my fill at 10:30 is right when your in class.............maybe that is when you take a break!! Ok I emailed Dr. Baggs today and told him I have NO RESTRICTION!! I let him know I am coming in for a fill on the 3rd!! Ah I am hoping for at least 1cc if not more........... Riley I also want to know who has the most lap band, does their own fills............how many lap bands a week ect. I am just really curious about all that too!! Candra ya ask them we all want to know........

Yea Pam I already check out your FB!! YOur kids are really cute!! My daughter would be impressed with your boys!! LOL. Candra ok cool I will come sit in. Just I know with Liz she could kick me out if your have your hubby there so I needed to check. I would love to come sit you guys. Robin will be in there too so that is cool I can see her too!! What time are you in there?? I leave SAc here at 7:15 or so and usually get to Richmond at 8:45 or 9am. I probably won't be there right when it starts but I am hoping Liz will let me in anyway............give her a hint I am coming?? I really want to see you guys!!

HEy Candra I have a fill on the 3rd at Richmond. I usually get their early anyway.........so if Liz lets me come into the class I would just have to leave for a bit to get my fill.........I am guessing I won't see Robin that day cause she will be in the pre op class with you guys.........I would love to come sit in with you guys!! Lets see how it goes!! I think you get done at noon so I could saty with your guys after my fill. I will have to ask Liz when I get there if I can come.......I am a SUPPORT person right?? You guys bringing the hubbies??

Yep Softs was a good stage............. I would advance myself if they forgot. I kept track of the days on my calender. But I would be considered to be "doing my own thing" if were to actually endorse that so I won't..............:-)

Tamra your more than halfway there!! Liquids is right after Jes!! And I love Ruby!! She is funny!! Did you see the one where she tried to get a job as a tour guide but kept talking about hauntings, murders and mafia during the tour!! So funny!! She didn't get the job!! Also looks like she is considering RNY onthe next episode..... I so want to see Big Medicine but so far can't find an episode. I have never seen that show but thanks to Pam heard about it............

Mine where glued and I have pictures post op on my blog. They totally fell off in 4 weeks. I didn't pull them off through just let them fall off..........

Candra do bring something to appease the pink elephant!! You will be glad ya did...............LOL Don't speak to soon you might outdo me!! :-) Sounds like Jes has the mouth though so maybe she will be the one to outdo me!! LOL. Hey Jes Maybe you should wear your fit flops to surgery. You know give yourself a boast post op!! LOL. I got hummus today too. The red pepper kind not sure what I think yet......... Candra Pureeds and mushies you get tired of pretty quick. Clears was hard cause you won't be hungry but you gotta try...........soft foods are the BESt stage you will be so ready. WOW this is really getting close!! What time is your pre op class? I want to try to see you guys that day. I would just come in as a support person if I didn't think Liz would get me.............LOL!!

My port doesn't stick out but I still have some tummy fat. If I put my arms up in the air (which is what I do when I get a fill put my arms up and than he can find it) than I can see it barely but I can feel it alot more now if I push around..........couldn't do that righ after surgery to much bloat and fat!! Ah Candra and Jess you do get alot of bloat after surgery from all the Water and gas that gets in the body. I felt like a little plump balloon for a few days and looked alot like a roly poly balloon!! At six weeks Dr. Baggs said I still had some of the bloat and swelling but he said totally normal..............all of that is gone now!! My port was all puffy for a couple of months but now nice and smooth if you don't count the fat roll.............LOL.

Pam I am on FB go into Candra's friend list and fine me. Or I can try to find you................ Oprah is on teen weight issues but looks like really good information........label reading and advice on weight.........is what I saw in 5 minutes. Just happy that band got a goo word in!! Tamra If your at goal by the surgeons appointment it is about 4 week out usually.........I think sometimes up to 6 when they are busy!!

Ah ok Oprah is also a obesity and nutrition show..........very cool I am gonna watch it later tonight since I got a whole 5 minutes!! Just enough to hear about the banding!!

Hey Ladies watching Oprah...........yep I made it home in time. Dr. Oz is on and a girl is asking him about gastric bypass. He told her that she has to work on nutrition and has to address her head hunger.........he called it eating to fill a whole..........and get this.........He told her for a younger person like her he would recommend banding over RNY......................... Oprah will come back on tonight at 9pm at least in Sacramento.......... He told her he was gonna help her look into the banding procedure..........I half expected him to tell her no way but I was pleasantly surprized!! Yea banding in the news!!

Also you can get the prunes in the babyfood jars that aren't to bad.........I used those post op a few times. But regardless of how they are packaged I don't like prunes. Ok back to protiens this week and yep I can't go either. Eating benvefiber and lots of water but still an issues and darn it adds pounds on the scale that I don't like..... One thing the works for me is hot tea!! Or a skinny vanilla latte................shhhss................sorta works too. I drink one right before a fill to clean me out for my weigh in.........but I didn't tell you all that!! You just thought you heard that. Gonna miss my girls at the next fill.................:-) But glad I don't have to do the drive over again so soon. I was just in the Bay area last week I am all drived out!! :-P
