Hey everyone, been busy doing laundry, I keep coming up with stuff to do. I think it's just nervous energy. I hear you guys on the weight staying the same. I've been this same weight off and on ever since I hit my goal. I can't wait til I can start loosing. :>) Chris I'm looking at the baby ticker thinking I can't believe how time flies...8 weeks already. It will be December before you know it. We still have our fingers crossed for you Tina. Reggie, girl stick around i'm noticing that everyone goes through the same stuff so I need you to stick around so I can hear it. Ok maybe I better go to bed, lots of last minute running around tomorrow. Im so glad Im off work. nite all.

Woo Hoo Candra you go girl! ok what time do I take the MOM? I need to get my binder.

does this mean only clears or "full" liquids. I'm doing it. thanks.

I'm such a doe doe bird, didn't check my phone.......Candra sent a text at 1:30. She's home and she says it's a piece of cake LOL and that she didn't have any pain meds in recovery.

hmmm. it's probably too late but should I be drinking diet cranberry too? I don't want a fatty liver :>)

thanks for the update OMG!!! I'm so nervous :thumbdown::wink:

Morning all....At work today, sooo much to wrap up. I already sent Candra a text at 6:15 yea she's probably real chill by now. ok there is a good chance I had one too many mimosas yesterday. Passed out early, but I've been up since 2am, with way too much on my mind. ok everybody, have a great monday, well a great as a monday can be.

You know how it is....they are all on a diet with me. I'm soooo lucky to have them & (you) I thought I was going to get flack but I didn't. Donna, I'm putting the date on my calendar.

ok so we all went out for brunch at in SF, got a little tipsy but oh well! Im so excited!! everybody was so nice to me and really supportive, I really think I'm ready. My girlfriends told me they are going to eat what I eat. starting Wed they will be doing clears and then full liquids with me. My hubby is being really supportive too. Wow, between you all and the rest of my family & friends I can't help but succeed. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Hey everyone I was off the hook today.....imagine what I'll be like later

My day was packed of course. Spent most of it steaming my floors. Wood floors are a pain in the butt. Then we had a family dinner; it was nice to see all of my out of town relatives. Tomorrow we are having another family function so I have to do the bridge early morning. Donna I meant to call you in the car this afternoon but it completely slipped my mind. Go Tamra, you may be banded in October.

Good Saturday morning, what a weird day? We are having thunderstorms, lighting and thunder. I’ve got so much to do today. We’re have a big family dinner later at my cousins house. Some of our relatives came up from LA. I’m fixing pancit (Filipino dish) Plus I need to do housework trying to get everything clean before I’m down for the count. Oh last night was the best. We had pizza and beer, worked out pretty good I only had 3 pcs and 3 beers the best part was that I weighed myself this morning and I’m down 1 more lb. We also did a sunset walk across the bridge. Candra I know you are juced…6:30am that’s probably the time I have to go since Dr Park said I’d be first. Any final meals planned? I think I’m gonna walk the bridge in the morning let me know if you want to go. Riley, when you come for your fill I want to try and meet up with you I live right down the street from Pinole Kaiser. I should be up and around. Nicole that dress is hot…sexy sexy, save up, I’m sure it will be on sale or clearance soon. Heather those 40 cal fudge pops are the best. I keep them because my chocolate cravings are probably equal to a crack addict. LOL LaChica- You are always welcome, but why RNY? Just want to make sure you make the best decision for you. Be sure to do a lot of research. Pam sounds like you need a partner to go shopping with you. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves as we should. I’m sure there was a ton of stuff at TJ Maxx for you. We need to plan a few makeovers, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Tamra glad you are back on track, the 11 lbs will go by quick. Hey John, Emily, Chris, Donna, I’m going to start calling you the den mother, always looking after everyone, Maria, good luck with Liz she really isn’t that bad especially one on one, Monique…who am I missing? Oh Tina happy travels. Reggie where the heck are you? Ok, I better start my day, I’ll check back in a bit.

good morning all....I just had to share this. I went online to check my co-pay for the surgery and it's $15 whoo hoo! this is the kicker, if I have a transgender operation there is no co-pay ($0)...go figure! ok I have an appt with HR today to turn in my paperwork for my LOA. Leaving work early, hubby is taking me out for pizza and beer.

Girl you crack me up! I'm laughing out loud.

Well Anna, I have Dr Park, I like her; direct, to the point and very sweet. Let's see she asked what surgery you are intrested in and then explains the band process very thouroughly (sp) even drew pictures. then she put me up on the table and looked at my tummy, pushed & poked and then she told me what weight I needed to be at. I'm sure something else happend but you know how it is at Kaiser in and out you barley remember. I think it's a good idea to write your questions down in advance just in case.

Hi Emily glad you stopped by. I think I read that you are from the south bay? Anyway this is such a great group I would encourage you to stick with us even if you can't make the Sac trip. How's your recovery? I'm getting banded on Wednesday woo hoo YEA!!!!! I'd love to hear your story if you don't mind. Ok Ladies, just wanted to say good morning, gotta keep working can't believe only 2 more work days. I think I'm finally back on track brought my lunch again today (salad) had a atkins shake for Breakfast and definitley doing the bridge tonight. Tina where are you ???? hope everything is ok.

Hey there, I just saw your post congratulations on finding a good fit at Kaiser SSF. Don't know if you know but we have a Kaiser support group http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/kaiser-richmond-pre-op-82492/ Stop by a say hi, we have people from both SSF & Richmond Kaiser.

wow Heather, you are rockin, I see that 60 lbs lost

ok I can't believe I go from excitement to fear...now I keep thinking that something will go wrong or it's really not going to happen.

Candra, I'm sure it was the girls he fell in love with...:blushing:

Maria, did you call Sara? She is the one who schedules the appointment with Liz.

Congratulations Maria, Woo hoo! Wow Pam, shows there is an end in sight. So we can all look forward to a year later when we are at our sweet spot and just have to work the band. ok, can't hold it in anymore :blushing: met with Dr ??? from my PCP office today. He was really cool. I was surprised that he knew a lot about the band. He told me about how the surgery goes, the recovery after and what to look forward to after I've had the band a while (like taking less pills). He talked about how proud I should be that I've done so well loosing weight and getting my BP and cholesterol down, blah blah blah. Needless to say he sent a note to Dr P saying I'll be fine. Yea!!! I'm good to go. Ok totally juiced, today is wednesday 1 week to go! Candra you only have a few days. I don't think I'm gonna bother with the anti nausea stuff. I'm not much of a pill person. I'll deal with it day of.

Just checking in...boy the minute you plan a vacation or time off work a zillion things come up. Whew! I have an appointment with the attending in my PCP's office at 3pm so I'm trying to scarf down my lunch while I catch up on the posts. None of that chew 30 times stuff... have a good afternoon...positive thoughts Tina.

I don't know about being a trooper but I sure as hell feel like I'm being tested LOL. It's all good I'm ready for the tests.
