Nicole - that happens to me all the time that's why I hate eating breakfast! Liz said it's because you are jump starting your metabolism. Chris - good to know but you'll have to remind me of that when my time comes for fills - LOL Ok, so my boss just said to me that he's just sick of himself and wants to join a mens group - I told him that's TMI for me and that is something he needs to discuss with his wife. Crazy man!

Hi All, Donna you are my #1 Support person - so come on down! However, looking in the mirror is a no-no still - I actually teared up just looking at the pics of myself from Reggies house - I hate that feeling! Nicole - I cry over animals ALL THE TIME. I saw a dead dog on the side of the road the other day and cried all the way home (20 min) My first thought was that the jerk that hit him didn't even stop to help so that poor doggie suffered till he died! I hate people! I think I need to join PITA. Also, I cry on that Sarah McGloclin (sp) commercial every time and when they were advertising for propostion 3 I think it was with the animals - oh boy don't get me started! They are defenseless and I feel it is our job to help and protect them GRRRRRRR! Tamra - the burger is fine - just no ketchup full of cals & suger - they probably dont put it on there anyway but just be sure. Breakfast is a hard one for me too! I love eggs but get tired of them after a while. I have these "oopsie rolls" that I make and pop them in the toaster sometimes in the am and that's good. Only 1 carb ea. I'll get you the recipe or send you the link. Pammie (my aunt has a friend name Pam but I've never met her - anyway when she talks about her she calls her "Pammie" so that is what has stuck with me - let me know if it bothers you) 1 year bandiversary - holy cow! and you've lost alot of weight! I say new red bra & panties to go with that dress! Speaking of new bra - Reggie, got my new bra on - never thought I could do one with no underwire but it's working pretty good - lovin it so I gotta get in touch with your sister for some more! Jes - do you have to be 18? My niece would love to do it but she's only 15 1/2.

Tamra, I've never been to this one but they usually do end right on time. we need to get you a new babysitter - I will have to recruit my niece and stepdaughter. My husband set the DVR for me for Oprah. I'll watch it tomorrow, after the meeting. Guess I'd better hit the hay too. TTL

All I remember from today is: Tina got alot of books and is meeting up with us for class Riley is almost due for a pedicure and loves us, & 100lbs smaller reggie is MIA Nicole is menopausal and skinny but nobody has noticed, Pam has a confused boyfriend and is meeting us for class Tamra is meeting us at 5:45 tomorrow in her blue civic, donna is nervous about leading Saturday for no reason Heathers new teacher is a heart attack waitng to happen You have a bad memory like me and we are all to chicken to tell our kin folks we got/are getting banded. That's about it - 10 pages in a nutshell LMAO

Heather, that teacher sounds an awful lot like my boss!! he actually pulls his hair when he's yelling at me. I get to throw him out of my office though - kinda rewarding LOL. Get a good nights sleep and let us know how it worked out hahaha. Sweet dreams!

Hey Nicole - I get like that all the time - menopaus perhaps LOL seriously, that's what use to happen to me before I got full on pannic attacs - I chalk it up to anxiety. You got alot going on! believe me, the lewis' noticed! They just didn't know what to say like "you look great" but that would be like saying you looked like crap before. Or "you're so thin" but again, that's say you were so fat before. some people just don't know how to approach sensative subjects. but you best believe they're talking about you behind your back right now LOL but in a good way!!

I hear ya jes. i got my centrum chewables (I already take em but I only had 2 left LOL) I got some suger free calcium - forgot the brand but I got them at Wally in a yellow ziplock package. I got my protein shots and that's all. Oh, picked up my wellbutrin non SR today and got my labs done - gotta get some checken broth & some more herb tea - also wanna get some SF Jello & SF popsicles. can't get the jello & popsicles too early though cuz my brothers kids will eat em all ! Oh, I love tomato soup - I can have that on full liquids so i should get some of that too - gotta get that milk of magnesia too. Oh, boy the list goes on - I should be writing this down so i can remember to pick it up LOL

I missed it - maybe I'll get lucky and see a clip on youtube. I like dr Oz too. You know who I love is Dr. Dean Edell - he hates the cliche' that fat people are unhealthy! He said vitamins don't really do much and he never drinks water - my kinda doc LOL

Riley, borders told me the same thing you have to order it. i haven't exactly followed thru with all of it - I find i have you guys and that's better for me than a workbook! Workbooks don't talk back nor do they put me in my place when I'm messin up. Pam - that man doesn't deserve you! I think he's either playing games or he's confused... either way, not what you need. Just a little reminder about FaceBook - nobody on there knows I'm getting banded. Most of those people are my inlaws and/or cousins so mums the word for now. I think anonymity is important. I recall somebody mentioning a coworker was getting this done and gave her full name. She may not have liked that HMMM?

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
oh, Jes - my card says 8:00 then there is a second half that starts at 10:00. Tina, let me know when you'll be there.
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
We love you too Riley ~~~~!!!!!!! I will take a poll tomorrow to see who had fisher for their band - duh! didn't even think about that - I will be in richmond and most likely somebody there got banded by him - silly rabbit! I will also call

I don't have one of those Jes does and i hate her for it (boo hoo) I have a civic del sol. I love the new civics though - they look so good now - Honda is getting better all the time but my husband and I have decided that our next cars will have to be american cars. Gotta get THIS ecomony going
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
I will call if I don't hear from them but if Robin gives me a hard time about anything Pammie I'm bringing you with me hahahaha

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Jane, my pedicure skills are not complete but I can paint a mean toenail!
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
I hate not being able to breath - I think I will ask Dr. Fisher to sit me up before he wakes me up. good idea though I think I will call tomorrow. Ok, Tamra see you tomorrow at 5:45. I'll be in a little red honda not as cute as jes' little silver honda! we both have two seater convertibles - mine is a targa (hard) top though. so if you get there first, wave us down as we are driving in or else I will be out front waiting for you

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Oh, no - no hubby for this - he doesn't have the patients to sit thru this stuff - i don't know if he will even stay at the hospital while I'm having surgery - he may go sit in the car and watch a DVD but if he may come back to the house and pick me up when it's over LOL. YOU R MY SUPPORT PERSON! so bring your ass and park it next to me. hahaha

Riley Jane - I think i need to rub your feet - maybe exercise is contagious like rubbing the belly of a pregnant woman is.
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
haha Riley, your body was trying to trust you not to starve it so it finally took matters into its own hands. I usually have this non stop eating issue right before my depo shot but I got it on the 11th so it should have stopped long ago - So far, today is day one of the not needing to eat phase. Hopefully it will last for the next 3 or 4 years LOL
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Bring your ass Donna! (cussing at you so you better come) You can sit with me:)
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Go donna with your active self! I'll be there Saturday - Tamra??? you coming? I'll drive! gonna miss you Jes but I will see you tomorrow!!

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Tina - did you ask when our class was? It's 9/3 - you should really come with us. I think it would put jes & I on Liz & Robins good side does the kaiser website have a forum? I think I'm gonna check that out to see if there is anybody there who has had Dr. fisher for their band. im curious to know how he works. Like will i come out with 4cc or will I come out with 1cc - how is he on fills, can he find the port without bruising the heck out of me. Just little things like that would be nice to know LOL
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
what if liz or robin forget to call and tell us to move on like they did to poor Pammie? do they annoyed if we call them?
