I'm taking tomorrow off....I so need an extra day off. I think I'm going to get a mani pedi. I walked the bridge tonight I'm so glad I did that. I was real close to taking my shoes off and relaxing. I needed it, at least I got 3 days in this week.

Candra hush...you are hilarious! This just shows how much I need you guys. I read that binder but I don't remember seeing that. In that case maybe we can get a bulk discount.

Oh Chris you said Robin was a little nerving...She actually did my orientation Liz was sick or something. So I had Robin negative. and then Fisher comes in anti band. I wrote in my binder 30% fail rate, that's what he said. I thinking he sure is trying to discourage us.

I'm glad you brought the calcium up again. I thought she was just saying stuff for the RNY people

I think that bracelet is super cute I'd buy one. But why do I need one? is there something with the band that paramedics need to know if I tip over?

ok honestly I'm not much of a cat fan, too independent for me. but I love my 2 little Bishons

I love the long posts. Nicole I really enjoyed reading that. Now that I have my date I want to read and hear anything you all have to say. You know I think everything will happen to me so I need to read up on it LOL. Candra I'm really excited that we are only 2 days apart how cool its that? Knowing that really makes me comfortable. I know you are not thrilled about being first but Im so close I don't think it will matter. By the time you are up and back online I'll would have had mine already. That's where the SOS comes in. Tina, Donna, Pam I can't tell you how much it means that you are coming to the pre op appt with us. I know Pam is off the schedule now but it's the thought. It's a trip, my hubby hasn't even read the binder that I asked him to do so many times. So yes, we should plan a lunch after if you all are not in a rush to get back. Congrats on the fit flops I like them so much I'm glad I took those others back. You're right the VS are the only cute ones.

I live right by the Pinole Kasier...I guess they will be gone by the time I get there. So tell me after a fill how do you feel? Are you right back to normal or is there woozyiness or anything?

so in my quest to buy everything I need and probably don't need for surgery I'm looking at memeory foam pliilows or body pillows. Does anyone have one? I want to be as comfy as possible.

Donna- I'm sorry I won't be there on sat either. You may have heard me last week say that we are going to a concert. Planned a long time ago, it will be good since we really haven't had a "date" in a while. I'm sure all of the other SOS will pour on the support.

now you may be referring to the looooong time it took me to loose my surgery goal wieght while I screwed around.

no my surgery wasn't delayed...not sure what you are refering to in my siggy. All of the dates listed are goal dates, meeting w/ the surgeon, psych appt case manager. Candra's wasn't either if I may speak for her LOL

Pam work that cute outfit:sneaky: AT-TI-TUDE!!

I found the book club...I'm not tecky but can we post reviews? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/groups/lap-band-book-club.html

oh I was up a pd on the Kaiser scale last night. I had to find out since I've been so inconsistant this last week or so. At least I'm still below goal but I know I need to kick it up here soon. Heather house hunting is so much fun. I guess this is the time to do it since they say things are starting to pick back up. Are you staying in the same area? I decided to switch up my breakfast and made an egg salad this morning. I must have been half asleep because I put way too much salt and now I'm really dry and it's only been 10 min.

Morning all, Wow Tamra and Riley you are up early posting. I can't even look at the computer in the mornings I'm fushing so. Welcome Sazoo, I'm sure your Dr will discuss everthing and answer all your questions. With you being 18 you may be on a slightly different timeline than the rest of us ole ladies. Good luck all you ladies scheduled to get fills today. Be sure to post the detatils

hey ladies, back from the group meeting. Well for some reason Bev was not there so we had Liz leading the group. She didn't exactly follow the 'protocol' and we ended up not being able to talk with other members in fact it was kind of boring; but I'll let Candra tell her side of the story since she's so colorful LOL Chris post the recipe on the social group page it sounds good. I forgot about that. We should do that esp things we want to refer back to. oh the best part of the meeting was meeting Tamra in person LOL whoa we have 11 people on here.

I don't think I'm going home 1st, so I'll be early.

Hi Analynn, You probably missed the Aug orientation and will go to the one in mid Sept. I think they do them once a month.

that protein style in and out sounds so good right now. I guess I'll stick with this chicken leg and the romaine lettuce I brought from home.

Tamra step away from the oatmeal....that's like having a carb fest.

OMG Candra, I think your boss and my old boss (love saying that since I got my promotion) are brothers. I'm soooooo glad to be rid of him. We are still in the same unit but now I can look at him like the dwebe (sp) he is and walk away. LOL Job is alot of fun but no kids. I really want to weigh myself this evening but I know I'm gonna be all blotted. Maybe I'll go for a lunchtime walk. So who all is doing fills tomorrow? Is this in Pinole?

this has got to be the most commute friendly place there is. We have vanpools that come form all over. My ex boss (yea!!!) in on a van comming from concord. I advertise everywhere. We do 1099's so it doesn't effect unemployment.

Pam I'm there on both the 3rd & 4th (surgeon appt) Tamra, I get the atkinks advantage strawberry (walmart)15g of Protein & 1 carb . milk doesn't agree with me and this seems to be ok with me.

Here's my advertisement...PM me if anyone is interested. I took off my contact info. Standardized Patients Needed University of California San Francisco (UCSF) The UCSF School of Medicine is seeking male and female actors, all ages and ethnicities to participate in various role-play situations throughout the year. Participants will be paid for training and performance - $22/hr. This is an ongoing program and work days range from 3-5 hours. What is a standardized patient? Standardized Patients are healthy people who are trained to play the role of a patient suffering from a specific medical condition. Medical students interview and perform basic physical exam maneuvers (taking blood pressure, measuring pulse rate, listening to heart and lungs, etc.) on Standardized Patients during examinations to demonstrate a student’s mastery of basic clinical and interview skills. Students are graded on both their medical knowledge (Are they asking the right questions to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis?) and their bedside manner (Can they treat patients with sensitivity and respect?) If interested, and would like to be in our pool of actors please email your headshot, resume and age to me:
