Your forgiven Jes! I love Dogs too! got two Labs!! Cali tries to play with them but they are afraid of her LOL. I got my fitflops on line - Island something or other - the only place that still had a size 7 in stock! Tamra they are flip flops that are good for your feet - suppose to give you a little muscle work out like the shape ups do. google em! Jes, Tina and now me got the black electra ones - sequins = super hot! Ok, so what are the thoughts before I spend 100.00 on a super cute bracelet? I have one already - a generic one for my asthma but it's too ugly to wear - don't even know where it is anymore LOL so if I have to wear one it better be cute! how serious is it to have? I'm so stupid I don't even carry my epi-pen with me - i'm so for certain that it's expired!

Heather - so sorry about your cat - I had a pet rat that I had to put to sleep because he had a hemmorage(sp?) in his head. I cried for a long time after that and I was 30 years old! In my defence, they don't want the cat, they don't take car of him and I told them he was here - he was soaking wet, freezing, skinny and full of fleas! now he is dry, warm, fat & flealess :confused: he loves me - he has arthritis in one leg and can barely walk on it - he's old! I CAN'T GIVE HIM BACK, I CAN'T! so, now I have to ask, Tina.... what happened to the kittens you didn't keep? they didn't go to the pound did they? Jes, i wll give you a step by step as soon as I get to recovery. Hopefully my fitflops by then :drool: I hear you though, like I said, i've had cancer, aids, swine flu - you name it - right now I think I need to have my gallbladder out hmm LOL - what ever I can catch or whatever can go wrong with me WILL. I did really have ecoli though! The 3rd will be fun! Riley, you coming? Tamra? Everybody?? Anybody?? Reggie, where are you ? guess I need to climb on FB to talk to you LOL got another halter dress for you ! My salsa one - I think its a 13/14 - my boobies don't fit in it but with your shape it will be awsome~ I think Liz got upset with us at the group Wednesday AND she called me out~ We were talking amongst ourselves and she didn't like that - it was rude of us. but she didn't have to call me out about my worrying about my husband before myself - I was dumb enough to tell her i thought about backing out because of the scars (for him). But I'm so not gonna back out - !! Wow, I'm getting sleepy all of a sudden - gonna wash my bod & climb in bed - nighty night Oh, Pammie - I really, REALLY want to hear how back to school night went?? Was he drooling or what?

Riley, I know you said you were getting a medical alert bracelet but is anybody else? I figured if I was gonna get one it would be a saucy one but it's 100.00! Damn! I got my fitFlops today - sorry Tina but you don't get to be original anymore - I got the same ones you & jes got - they are the only cute ones!

Tina we don't want you to stop! I love my cats but they are Psycho! Last night my male cat, Raider, was screaming at the front door so I went and opened it and, as it turns out - he brought me a mouse and was truly trying to bring it in the house - I teared up for the poor baby DEAD mouse - Raiders sister, Cali, started scratching at the screen so I let her out - she picked up the mouse and they both ran off into the sunset together! Tonight I was having swiss cheese and ham slices for dinner. I walked away from the table or two minutes and when I got back, Cali was eating my swiss cheese - grrr! My neighbors have a cat named Monkey - actually it was his daughters cat but she moved out and left him. Anyway, they don't take care of him - leave him outside all night even when we had those freeze warnings - Heres where you guys get to figure out that i'm crazy - My husband wouldn't let me steal Monkey so i bout him a covered cat box, put a pillow, blanket & heating pad in it (set to medium) and he slept in there all last year until I finally took him! now he sleeps on the bed with us - always wants to rub his face on mine around 4 am. My husband puts him out when he gets up and mumbles something crazy like it's not our cat - boo hoo! HE IS NOW!

nobody better ever say I'm the queen of the longs posts again LOL. Nicole - I thinkg the before and after photo of you guys is a good idea - you can make like a collage card with your cricut - fat pics on the front and thin pics on the back and you can sign the inside! Make it a thak you card - put that machine to work!

good question Donna - mine is on my ankle - not much cushion there to start with LOL. Still looks the same - looks like the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull Skiing down the alps - suppose to be a roking horse - but instead of a horse, a bull cuz I'm a taurus - stupid crap I did when I was young - I HATE IT - WOULD LOVE TO TRY THAT WRECKING BALM

Ok, I'm back - i was on the road home - I think I would be awsome if Heather & Tamra got surgery at the same time - I know this probably sounds weird but I feel so much better knowing that Jes is doing this "with" me (so to speak) Like I'm not alone so I'm less fearful.... Make any sense at all?

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
What-flippin-ever! I got one - it hurt and now I hate it - NEVER AGAIN! Analynn - I'll go for the belly button ring with you though! that is, if my belly is ever small enough LOL

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Oh, yeah - lol congratulations on orientation! Girl, it's all down hill from there. Funny you mention tatoo or something... I told Jes last night that as soon as I'm up and running after surgery I'm going to get a t-shirt that says "I'm on the band wagon" or something silly like that - so excited - afraid of tatoos.!!

Hey Girl - FYI "WE" opt to put our first names on here but others may not like to have their real names given let alone their full (last) names too.

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
You are definately considered pre op simply because you have never had any wls before LOL. You don't need any qualifications to come to any of the support groups. It's from 11 - 2 shoot, is that right - why am I having a brain fart suddenly? Donna, Help!

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Wuuuu Saaaa, Analynn, Wuuuu Saaaa. I think of Martin Lawrence's ears every time I hear that LOL We will be a bit lonely today - most of the girls have gone on without us

Welcome Sa_Zu! I talked to my doctor about the band and he sent in the referral while I was sitting in his office still! FYI: Richmond Kaiser is #4 (is that right?) in the country for bariatrics surgery! Ok, so the class last night wasn't as "informational" as I expected or hoped it would be. It was more like a college class and we didn't get to mingle at all with the post ops! Very disappointed because that was the who reason I went!! The best part was getting to see Jes & FINALLY meeting Tamra!! Tamra - no onion breath baby girl - you're all good! I had coffee & tuna breath LOL Have a great fill today ladies!

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
You shoulda asked why that can't be right, then you shoulda said actually, it's 54.7! It is very noticeable Heather, you look great and it's only gonna get better or worse if you don't care for the attention - LOL I've told a couple of people around here that I started smoking crack - they laugh and I walk away hahahaha
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
ok, I'm outta here - Jes & Tamra - see you at 5:45!
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Pammie - you're giving away all our secrets - shhhhh LOL
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Tamra - the protein shake that Reggie is talking about are the Premier Nutrition ones, chocolate - 30g protien and only 1g carbs - Don't remember how many cals - I think 130???
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Hey Analynn, Jes & I are going to a support meeting with Tamra tonight in Richmond - you are welcome to join us!
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
have you been eating too many sweets? maybe you're having sugar withdrawls - that happened to me when I cut out all the carbs. Try to taper off slowly
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
in and out does sound good - but i got my ol faithful chicken salad Nicole - maybe you should try a little but of juice (sugar) to see if that helps. Pammie - we will miss you on the 3rd :biggrin:
