OMG I am so stressed!! So I went to see Dr Park today, everythings all good I'm back at 4 lbs under goal. BUT she say's oh you need to get an ok from your PCP and cardiologist! WTF?? I say well I really only have 1 week before surgery, today is friday and monday is a holiday how come you didn't say something before now? She says oh I'm sorry I should have...(HUH?) ....but I can't do the surgery until I get something back from them. aargh! ok so she says I'm going to send a note to your PCP and you should be able to get in to see her right away. Ok fine I leave and decide I better email the PCP to speed things up, well she's on vacation until 9/11 go figure! Did i mention that my cardiologist retired a year or so ago? I never got a new one because I didn't need one. OMG so I just email Dr Park, she had better respond. I can't wait til tuesday to find out what to do.

I guess she said "I hope she doesn't have any questions when she comes back" I mean come on, they can't expect you to sit 2 hours and not pee with all the water we have to drink. I guess because I had a lot of questions. It was sometimes confusing since you didn't know if she was talking about the band or RNY Oh when you all go back take a look at Robins id badge, she's a lot bigger in it. I think she's had RNY and I think Liz has the band. Liz made the mistake of saying "when I was going through it..." when she was talking about walking. wow I can't believe how tired I am.

oh I need to make my list of questions for Dr Park, I don't want to forget anything.

hey there, Whew I'm tired. Between the elliptical and the bridge walk I can hardly keep my eyes open. I had a wonderful day hangin with Donna & Candra. Tina it was good to see you too. Glad everything worked as far as traffic the fill and your visit with Baggs. Candra how the heck did I spend $122 on soup and a plant at wallys? I still had to go to safeway buy a few items AND come home to cook. Donna thanks so much for the gift bag that was so sweet of you. I can't believe that Robin called us out like she did... remember she said I'm gonna have to separate you two. And then to say some thing when I had to go pee during her lecture like most of that stuff wasn't for the RNYers anyways.

Donna I'm fine for the walk, I guess I should wear exercise clothes. I'm free all day how about, Kaiser, walk, lunch and then Wally's in American canyon, all heading back up north.

I didn't think about bringing a latte... I can't eat or drink either. I'm getting up at my regular 4:30 to hit the elliptical. So I have my one weigh in dress I guess I'll be wearing it 2 days in a row! shoot

Candra don't forget to bring your vitamins and calcium....I almost forgot!

I'm joking about the latte....the real issue is that I need to get weighed in the morning! CRAP!! I am so blotted, cramps are kickin my you know what.

Nicole, maybe you and Donna can come together. We can go to the big Wallys in American canyon.

I remember her telling me not to register just go up there....I guess a skinny late is out of the question LOL ok 7:40 for me.

Oh Candra what time are we meeting tomorrow? I thinkwe need to be there by 8 ???

well eating the soup now, at my desk in front of the computer all the things I'm not supposed to do. Anyway it's good but even though I got it from kaiser it probably has so much sodium I'll be sweating salt for the next 2 days. Tamra, see what happens when you stop hanging with us? Check in more often

The Bay Bridge will be closed starting tomorrow at 8pm until tuesday morning...is that crazy or what? Thus I'm not coming in to work. Traffic will be a nightmare for the whole weekend. Good for you Candra. My favorite food to cook is Italian so your husband is lucky best of both worlds. Nicole we miss you and your posts can't wait for the cable man to show up. I think I'm gonna walk up to the Kiaser cafeteria and get some of their won ton soup. I'm not feeling the salad I brought today, maybe I'll have that for dinner.

morning all, Chris Tina is right the baby is #1 now. I know you want to keep loosing but don't concentrate on it. I think you will be fine. You've been a rock start up til now and I'm sure that's not going to change. Wow Riley you are rockin too, 10 lbs! I'm trying to hold on to my weight little weight loss, only 3 lbs to play with that's too close. So lunch for me thursday will be very light Candra you are too funny....I never thought about a Caucasian making baby white beans before with ham hocks no less. OMG I am having terrible cramps today, actually for the last 3 days. ok off to my marathon of meetings be back after lunch.

oh Donna, that would be good if you came. I think we would totally understand if not though. I'm off for the whole day so we could do lunch or something. I guess I better get ready for bed. I'm sitting here craving chocolate (TOM) I already had one of those little mini snack size snickers so no more for me! nighty night...

I guess everybody's doing their own thing tonight. I was busy at work today, all the students transition to the next level now. Tomorrow I've got meetings so probably won't be able to be online much either, thus I'm talking to myself now :mad: looking forward to loooooong the weekend, tomorrows the last day I have to go in, yea! Candra let's plan to do lunch and do a little shopping thursday.:thumbup:

oh well today is Sept 1st the beginning of our furloughs. The way ours works we get the 8% pay cut and then we can take the days when we want, works out to 18 days for me for the fiscal yr. I guess I'm blessed with our health coverage. i only pay like $54/ month for kaiser that's for me and my 3 kids, UC pays the rest. There's no way I could handle hundreds wow!

hey everyone, wow so much to catch up on. Tina, no worries we will be fine on Thursday. My daughter will be going so I'll have her referee, I'm sure Candra and I will probably get into trouble chatting too much. Oh be careful trying to rush back to sac. You know it's a holiday a weekend and that thursday and friday will probably be bumper to bumper. Pam the dating book sounds interesting, be sure to post a review I know a lot of people who I can recommend it to. LOL Sorry about the migraine, is it getting better? Thanks Donna, Nicole and everyone for your prayers we need them all. I mostly want get it over with. Like Candra said after this week what do we do? besides wait ugh! Nicole that's so cool Mike likes the job, I bet things will start falling into place for you both...new job, new place, new attitude. BUt be careful that you don't need an unfill or anything.

Hey Tamra, doing ok? I think I'm going to bed too. take care.

Riley, I've been going through my freezer getting rid of stuff I'm not going to need. My husband not going to eat it either. So it feels kind of nice knowing I won't need all that stuff. Weeell the fudge pops stay LOL

Candra you were supposed to let us know how it went with the Doc. Did you talk to him about the scars? Did you tell him you didn't want a hack job? LOL I'm talking to Dr P about all of that. This the last time we see them. I want to get all my questions in advance. Ok I had a moment of pause today. I'm thinking do I really want to do this? I mean I do but just hope I'm doing the right thing. Just as long as nothing goes wrong, right? At the same time I wandering around thinking about how I'm going to make it easy on myself. I sure hope I can do this?

I'm here, just finished fixing my lunches for the next couple days. I had a good food day today. b-1/2 hummus l-1 cup stir fry veggies d-salad, 2 lamb shops s-sugar free fudge pop

Hi Riley, what's with the carbs and the liver? I'm trying to down water to keep from gaining. I'm only 3 lbs less than my goal so I don't need any thing to happen. I'm also coming up on my TOM so I guess it's good that I'm 3 under. Does anyone have anything exciting planned for the holiday weekend? I think I'm sticking around home cleaning my house and trying not to over eat.

morning ladies, Chris that's exciting about the family and how you told them, so creative. No worries Tina, job interview is far more important. Candra and I can handle it. If you are able to get the fill on Friday perhaps we can still hook up I'm seeing Dr Park that morning too. Speaking of, I emailed Dr P this morning to ask her about filling out my paper work and she relpied in like 8 min so I'm happy about that. I also went to KP this morning when I got to work to do my lab work so I'm ready to roll. :biggrin: 8 more work days so I need to get my desk and office cleaned. Check in with you all later.

ugh, I look so fat in the mirror. I mean I weighed myself and I'm still at the same weight but I look like a rolly polly. anyway my daughter is still scheduled to come with me on Thursday so some of you will be able to meet her. Nicole, glad everything is working out with the apartment. oh work is fine. Work is cool, I told my boss about my hernia surgery and he was very supportive so at least I don't have that stress.
