You can do it. If I can get back on my exercise horse I will be galloping majestically but i am not and need to... John- Hope you are well, you are cracking jokes as usual so you must be well. Bon appetite with the mushies. I know it is torture. Nicole- girl you have four days before you see Dr. Who work that band girl! PROTEIN is all I can say. You will be fine!

Lee- Thanks for the compliment, I had a wonderful team who help make this happen :-). Hope all is well with you.

Thanks LOL John you are funny! Yes you've got friends just call on us!

Nicole, I hope you had a wonderful time. Jes, Candra, Donna and myself were glad to pull this together. It was great to have Heather over and meet new people. We had a lot of fun I a still trying to recuperate. I had to make another cake for a huge party on Saturday. All is well here. Jes the shrimp was off the chain! I can eat that all day and so can Teiko! Thanks for all the help you guys! So I got a fill after all the weight that I gained after Dr.Park read me the riot act as I danced around the reason for the weight gain. I have tried to be good. I have still maintained the 9lbs loss since my fill. Candra, I think I will name my band Rocky because it is kicking my a..... When I eat the stuff that I a not supposed to it gets stuck, so yes it is working and I am going to make it work hard. I want to be at at least 245 by May my bandiversary. I wish i would be at goal but it is not mathematically feasible. Hope everyone is doing well! Good night

The psych appointment is so easy, they just want to make sure that you don't have any obsessive compulsive behaviors, depression and to know your intention are in line with having a successful bariatric surgery. Relax, you will be fine. Who is your Psychologist?

Heather the food thing will come together don't worry. I am the exact opposite of you I am getting the food thing and the excercise has gone belly-up. We will get this right. I see Dr.Park tomorrow and I know she is not going to give me a fill BUT i do know that i have to see her. Wish me luck.

Tamra at rate you are going you got this! You are playing it safe with your Ix cheating thing not bad at least you don't feel deprived, just don't get happy like i did LOL!

CONGRATULATIONS NICOLE!!!!! HEY AT LEAST YOU HAVE NII (my son) to Play with LOL. I am so happy for you girlfriend!!!!!! I remember our conversation in my kitchen LOL.....:biggrin:

Heather Dear, dust off and keep moving, it happens to all of us. I had a hiccup too on Wednesday but hey.. I did better today.

Candra sorry for your loss! Glad to have you back. I hear you about Rambo LOL, i am glad he is working for you. Tamra, congratulations on your fill and weightloss keep it up. Annalyn you are rocking girl, congratulations you are almost there. Riley good to see you writing. I hope everyone is doing fine.

Thanks Tina I will look her up.

Thanks John, I miss her dearly. Oh John I cook too much tasty food LOL, it ends up in my ..... lol. But I will as you said do it. Thanks again, my regards to Nikki.

I did in the past Tina, but I realized that my issues is not overeating it is the problems that triggered the weight gain. I will do individual therapy and see how that goes. Let me know if you decide to try out. It is funny that we help people in our line of work but we cant do the same for ourselves. There is an African proverb that states " A healer cannot heal themselves" that is so true. Yes Tina I would like her information. Go and get some rest! LOL.

Thanks Tina, Isn't it interesting that our weight was unfortunately the temporary band aid that we put on. I like the twelve step idea. I plan on making an appointment with Kaiser to work out my stuff too! I truly think part of Riley and Pat's success is the Head group/class that they attend, they can chime in with their thoughts as well. I am sure your grandparent's memory helps at times :-). I am doing better, i still get anxiety aout going on the freeway. Thanks for asking. Please don't chill too long we will miss ya. I have a CPS question for you I will PM you or email you on FB so please keep an eye out for it. I wish you the best Tina, these are times that you need people! Let me (us ) know if there is anything we can do. Always remember God is in control, he wont dish out what he knows you can;t handle. These are life lessons.Be well!

Yes Jes, my appointment is on the 10th @1:30 when is yours again?

Heather how is housing excursion, hey there is a 3/2 house at the far end of my street for sale. My realtor came by ths weekend and I had her show me. It is really nice, a pool and nicely landscaped back yard (large). I know you like Elk Grove, just in case you think of the country life lol our neighborhood is nice veryquiet.

Thanks Coco! I used cocoa butter with vitamin E or a cool cloth will help. Heather thanks for responding to my question. I wish I could make it to the Wetlands walk, I have to go to Morgan Hill that weekend, but I will be at the Point West meeting this month. Thanks for the invite.

Coco itching is good that means you are healing. I hope all is well with you. Lets hang out soon!

Mo I have around and doing fairly well. Thanks for asking. How is everyone doing? Mo I just tried to call you, you must be sleeping. What's going on on the 20th? Girl too much to read through previous pages lol. Where is my Candra, Riley and Donna ?? Jes- you are too funny!! John it's good to see you doing so well. Lee and Pat I hope you are all well. Tamra and Tina I know you guys are well.( I am making light of this because it is not that serious) My mother's best friend 52 years just passed away this weekend and I am mourning her loss. She was my second mom and those two were glued to each other's hip. I say this to tell you all that tomorrow is not promised to us and we MUST cherish what we have(good) and dismiss the bad at all times. Okay let me get off my Wayne Dyer trip and come back to reality. I see Dr. P on the 10 so I have to drop weight quickly. I have taken the proactive route, I bought more protein shakes and cold cuts. If I get down to at least 268 she will give a fill, a little birdie told me at Richmond so needless to say i am trying. B- Grande skinny dolce latte and sausage and egg sandwich half the bread. L - Red chicken curry thai and 1/4 cup rice D- Corn-beef(stewed) and 1/4 cup rice s- corn chips (bad idea) Analysis- too many carbs. I will reduce the intake tomorrow I would like to pose a question to the entire group. When we make bad choices do we really know why we do and often why can't we stop ourselves? I ask this because I feel we all have our individual "big elephants" that we either refuse or are simply afraid to address. I have found a few things about my self these few months since surgery and especially of recent weeks. I really have to face. It is far beyond the band and weight. I think addressing emotional and psychological issues is a big part of our success that our program missed. Some of us are being treated but not fully. Any thought??

HI MO!!! How was the chicken??

OH WOW! I have been away for few days and you "chilren" start acting out LOL. I have to shed some light on this madness. First of all Tina I miss you too. The division of the forum may not be such a bad idea. WE all go through our trials and tribulations. Tamra those of us who have been out over six months have been where you are, we all have different ways of dealing with things and I am playing the devils advocate in thinking that Tina's post is primarily for support and thoughts on what to do. When you are operating on NO FILL it is not easy as I feel like I am now. With that being said I understand that you are needing all the positive reinforcement and point is well taken, that's what we are here for. I hope we all continue to be a support in each others lives as these bands and sleeves are not going to be obsolete in our lives anytime soon :-). We are in the struggle forever. We are all good friends and we need to support the best way that we can. I probably would have PM Tina is I was feeling this way. However hind sight is 20/20. So I want you all to kiss and make up LOL. Lets move on and get slim or move out fat whichever comes first I hope slim is the premier. I love you all. Reggie

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well. Heather- Girl you rock, I give such kudos for getting off the couch and getting you work out in. Keep it up. John and Lee- Glad to hear you are well.

Heather put a lot, I also marinated it with more black pepper,garlic and chicken bullion. Put it in the fridge for a while. Broil it, don't bake because you want to capture all the flavor. Bon Appetite!
