  1. I might put mine in the chopper. I think I'm going to get started at least boiling the eggs. Although the chili was good it was a slider since I added the broth it was thin soup.
  2. OMG Nicole, I'm so sorry you had that episode. Well is seams that my green runs has run it's course, hopefully. It wasn't nearly as bad as before. I forgot to tell you all we made it over to the Sac Kaiser I was able to do the do, and after a bit of KP bureaucracy I was able to turn in my little sample :seeya: so hopefully I'll find out something by tomorrow. LaCica I'm glad you did your research and really thought about it. I know there are certain things for me that were non negotiable and the band allows me to be me. So hopefully this will allow you to be you. Heather that is a cute dress on you. You are developing quite the wardrobe girl. Candra I don't know what's wrong with me I've also had 2 SF popsicles. I was going to have the other have of my chili for dinner but seeing as I've eaten it already I'm leaning towards the egg, hmmmm.
  3. the ticket is cute... yea!!! I think we have a couple other people who need to get a ticker..hint hint.
  4. I just had one of those small 1 cup size servings of hormel chili w/ beans. I added a little beef broth and of course some cheese and blended it up. Now that was good! I think I'm ready to move on to something with a little more bulk because I ate the whole thing before I was full. I did the bridge this morning so I feel little better about eating that whole cup.
  5. Pam, you never ever need nylons....all you need under that dress is lotion LOL. Can't wait to see it :blushing:
  6. Annual group photo in front of Mimi's 9/26.
  7. god morning all...wow what a night our power went out and we ended up going to bed early but it was hot as hell so I didn't sleep well. Any way I really had a fun day yesterday, I'll post the pic I have. Well yesterday may have been the last of my 1 lb a day, I weigh the exact same thing I weighed yesterday. Probably all the extra food. Anyway I think I better hit the bridge today. I think I'm gonna stop and buy some ham so I can make the split pea soup today. Other than that I be here watching football with the hubby. Tina, Reggie, Maria & Donna we missed you yesterday. Monique, you have to come to group mtg sometimes. You too Pat we really are a fun group. Perhaps you and Riley can carpool since she comes from that side too.
  8. I'm here, the lab opens at 8am so I want to go. The more I think about it, it makes sense that I probably do have an infection so I want her to give me something to clear it up ASAP. Usually when anything green come out it's an infections. The thing about it is I feel fine all except my port soreness.
  9. morning all, up early, I wanted to gather up a few things to bring to the exchange. I've got some work clothes and a few dresses evening and regular. I want you all to take a look before I give them to the masses. well Riley I know the whole food thing is a bummer. Tina, Nicole I sure hope we see you today, we all have a little something going on and we need each other, and I've missed your check ins.... Monique, don't be down, like Riley said at least they didn't cancel. I know it's frustrating though.
  10. Wow that is horrible Tina. What about your transfer?
  11. another FYI- Dr P responded to me about my green runs...she thinks it could be an infection. She sent a lab slip for me so I need to go get that done early in the morning. She also said I did have a hiatal hernia and fixed it. She says she has pictures to give me at my post op appt. yea! ok I'll see you all tomorrow.
  12. FYI- I got an email back from my PCP and she took me off one of my heart pills. When I went online to email, I had Dr Baggs as one of my choices that's strange since Dr P is my surgeon.:scared2:
  13. Hi hope everyone is doing good...I am still having gas and runny green stuff (I know TMI) I have been taking gas x for the whole 9 days post op. I emailed my dr and I'm waiting for a response. My port site is still hurting but I hear it last 4-6 weeks, so hang in there.
  14. Oh Riley I forgot, have a wonderful walk...down hill LOL. And I think you are right to only have .25, if you need more just call him up but better safe than sorry on your trip.
  15. Riley you are not right....You know my port site hurts like the dickens and I have been laughing for 10 min! I'm going to email the Dr right now, thanks for reminding me of my BP, I couldn't remember what she said it was. Thank you. I have dried split peas in the cabinet I just need to pick up some ham :mad: and it will be on tomorrow before I go to the meeting. Lachica I have no idea where the meeting is but I know how to get there :scared2: maybe someone from up that way can tell you.
  16. walking the bridge is good tomorrow. How about around 10? Candra. I don't know why you got a Venti, I got the small today and only drank a 1/4 of it. It's hard wasting that money. congrats Kim, you're doing great. You will be joining us in no time.
  17. I'm here...It's been quiet for awhile. I drink decaf green tea. I say the night before because it's a good detox tea for me if ya know what I mean. But what the heck drink it for a couple days. Don't have anything before meeting with Liz. You will be done early enough to eat after. I need help! What can I eat at stage 2 that wont give me the runs? I'm tired of this now! May have something to do with my BP being too low.
  18. Maria- either that or tea the night before :mad: 8:30 is good. Don't eat anything after 6p drink your tea and you will be good by the time you get into see Liz.
  19. OH Robin mentioned that she referred some folks to us. So any of you lurkers, welcome, chime in, this is a super group of ladies and a man :mad:
  20. hey hey....finally home. Riley and Tina I had a great time hanging with you. I'm glad I was able to get into see the fill, I am so not afraid. Do you think I need to look into my BP what am I supposed to do if it's low? So I made it over to SF to get my CPAP checked. They say the setting are good but gave me a new mask so hopefully I'll have a decent night sleep tonight. Yes, I stopped at Peets on my way out and got the sf vanilla latte. I was only able to drink a 1/4 if that so I'm saving some for dessert :mad: Candra I saw the missed call but I left the phone in the car while we walked...sorry we missed you.
  21. Have you been exercising? I'm convinced that walking is almost the cure for all. Get out and move around. ONce I started doing that I started feeling better. Take care!
  22. Heather let me know I'll walk the bridge with you. Maria, you don't need the food log for your CM appt. Liz will just go over the test make sure you have it complete before. I thought it was laid back. Oh Heather the Psych appt is laid back too. ok you veterans my port is hurting really bad I thought the under wire of my bra was laying on it but I've been bra-less for at least 2 hrs and it's still hurting, and I feel it moving up to my shoulder. :thumbdown:
  23. Riley you crack me up....I want some cream of jimmy dean!!!! Do tell, I'm sick of my creations and I have a whole 'nother week Candra I'm off to wallys. I'll meet you at A&A at 3? It's in the same lot as Jamba & TJ's.
  24. I made my appt this morning for 10/5...oh well I wish I had thought of it earlier because I would love to have her look at these stitches sooner. Are we still on for later? I'm gonna make a quick run to Wally's before hand.
  25. ok you can have a nice cup 'o tea :tongue2: I can have a sf latte, can't I? What time will the fills be over? I want to see if I can make an appt to get my CPAP adjusted after.
