  4. Thanks Riley Jane! It's a big deal to me too - been many years but I'm having that image distortion thingy cuz I'm having a hard time believing it - I feel 230lbs still LOL Have a great trip!!
  5. Darn you Jes, now i gotta get on macy's! I FINALLY got this ticker thing figured out - I was using the wrong code! Gotta use the bbcode not the HTML code - grr
  6. I believe riley is in oregon reggie - what about you girlfriend? I also believe heather said she'd be there too
  7. guess i'm a little late with the well wishing for Mike - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Ok, this ticker thingy is stressing me out! I can't get it to show my starting weight or my current weight or goal weight - grrr~! Nicole, my dad use to get heart burn really bad and the only thing that worked for him was a little baking soda in water....? worked really good for him. Tamra - sorry about the raise - next time! dn't let it get you off track. Jes - I got a body pillow! Had it for a long time and love it. I like to sleep on my side and since I'm so round it keeps me from rolling LOL. Thanks Tina & Nicole for the encouragement but i really don't know where I lost it from??? My husband doesn't either - said he thinks my clothes are just stretched out LOL. Pammie - that was a total date! I still say dump him - he's too confused or something! Went to the movies to see inglorious bastards - it was ok. some funny moments but kinda stupid funny - you know what i mean? Mike - hope you get the job homeboy (nicole pass that along would ya?) Donna - so curious what you got going on tomorrow!
  9. Good luck pammie - we want updates ASAP!
  10. I made a ticker but can't get the damn thing on my siggy! obviously I'm doing it wrong - there are a few different codes to use - i'm using the HTML one - is that right? so where do I put it on my siggy?
  11. Morning all - Riley - i'm not doing atkins shakes, I love real food waaaayyy too much. Have fun in Oregon. I'll be at kaiser Pt West at 10:00 am with my walking shoes on and ready to eat after! Nicole - got some applebottom capri's for you - size 10. I got them form my RNY friend that is back up to 14/16 - so sad! Ok - so I'm afriad to say this because I'm not sure how accurate it will be - don't want to jinx it!! Besides, looking at the pic of me at Reggies i don't see how it's possible!!! I haven't weighed myself since last Saturday morning - then I was 200.6 - since then I haven't exercised or been eating so great - i pigged out at Reggies - had leftover sweet potatoes the next night - made fauxtatoes and ate on them for dinner two nights in a row - mind you I make them with full cream (less carbs) and real butter - just a tad! Anyway - I jumped on the scale today to see how bad it was going to be worried about my appt on the 31st - this morning my scale said 198.6 (twice!)- WTF? How can that be right?
  12. works for me nicole! I'll wear my tennies
  13. I'm afraid to stop posting and log off - I don't trust myself tonight. I need to get back on track for real - struggling - gotta get back into my exercise routine - I've only been walking 5,000 steps and not aerobically! I warned you guys I'm a slacker! I blame it on the maxalt LOL
  14. Nicole - it's latin, Roman Catholic - in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit... Just what my parents use to say when it was time for prayer.
  15. Donna - you got your suit ready?
  16. Ok, really time to wash up and go to bed because now i want to eat - and not just anything - The yellow cake with chocolate frosting my niece made - Pray for me... in namane padre, et fili, et spiriti santo.... Amen!
  17. Jes, you deserve a day off! enjoy it. Yeah, Teenie, I'm done - my savings is dwindling and i can't take any chances of my little nest egg getting used all up! Not in this economy!
  18. I really haven't Tina - The only thing really wrong with me is the Asthma, allergies (dust & pollen - normal things) and migraines - everything else is just a symptom of my munchousen sydrome LOL or is it a byproduct of my hypocondriac-ism - you name it, i think i got it! however, my doctor can't ever seem to find it - he is surprised at how healthy i am given that I am so morbidly obese. hahahaha. You know, I think i need one of Analynn's wuuuuu saaaaa's:w00t: Tina - I don't think I'd have a hard time giving them up too! How did Machaela handle it? Nicole - i am going to rekey ALL my cars - i can't afford to take care of my brothers family anymore:thumbup:
  19. Ooh, lets see if kaiser has some sort of two for one rate! I'd be willing to bet they're ugly as sin - just like my asthma one my parents got me way back when
  20. guess i'm getting a little cranky! maybe just a little bitter about the 400.00 I gotta pay tomorrow to pick up my car that I never drive. i think the bariatrics people are loosing thier bedside manner! They are use to the 90% drop out rate & of the 10% that stay, 30% of those fail and they are geared towards that instead of the 10% surgery completion rate and of that 10%, 70% success rate.
  21. you are too cute jes - you are too tiny to tip over LOL. because of the band they can't put a tube down your throat - at least not blindly so you're suppose to have a medical alert bracelet that says "no blind ng tube". it's in the binder for the RNY patients so I asked liz about it and she said yes! we need to have one and they will go over it with us on the 3rd. oh sweet jeasus! I waited too long to bathe! my niece just got in the shower - grrrr! I only have 1 bathroom. See, realistically, we bought this tiny 1 bedroom house because it was suppose to be just ME AND MY HUSBAND! but now I got my brother, his two kids AND HIS EX WIFE living here. I actually told my sister in law that my husband and i were thinking about moving out/renting a 1 bedroom apt just for us and let them make the mortgage payments. She's been driving my celica for the last few months with a broken wheel baring - I asked my brother if it would do more damage for her to keep driving it like that and he said NO! I kept telling her I needed to get it into the shop - FINALLY, she said it's making a loud noise and parked it - took it to the shop and because it was driven around so long while needing the wheel barings done, it broke the hub - so now that 200.00 repair has just turned into 400.00 - DID ANY OF THEM OFFER TO HELP PAY - ABSOLUTELY NOT! It's time they started to pay some rent or bills around here though - for real!
  22. You are crazy nicole! way too many animals to keep track of! go to bed!
  23. one last thing - I was just taking my calcium and it finally clicked in my little brain what liz was saying about the vitamins! You have to take the calcium twice a day because no matter what the dosage is, your body will only absorb 500mg at one time and discard the rest - so we have to wait for the 1st 500mg to be absorbed, then take another 500mg. That's why twice a day and not once - often I don't make sense when I'm tired so if any of you want me to rephrase when I'm coherent just let me know
  24. really gotta bathe now - gettin sleepier. Night ~~
