  9. Good Morning!! I feel so much better, THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I listened to the CD last night Kaiser gave me and fell asleep to it. It really relaxed me, but I had some weird dreams LOL!! I woke up with a small stuffy nose and small sore throat; not good. But I slept with my heater on all night so I think that might have been why. Its time to change the filter. Nicole ~ I'll save your number and make sure that Ron adds you into the text I will have him send. HAPPY RAINY TUESDAY EVERYONE!!!
  10. Thanks guys. Yeah my bestfriend is taking me; I told him to send a text to people when I am out and okay. I need your number Jess if you want him to send you one too...it will come from my phone! I have Jello, and gas x strips, that's it so far. I haven't gone to Safeway, I am tomorrow morning bright and early.
  11. Thanks Pam, I am hoping I am the first. Sooooo I am sitting here, feeling like I am going to cry. I AM SO SCARED!!! I have been fine up until today. I am so terrified of doing this! I am not scared of anything but the being put to sleep part, that's it. Did anyone else feel scared, etc!?
  12. good luck tomorrow candy!!! anyone else tomorrow good luck!!! See you on the banded side after weds!!!!
  13. Hi everyone! Being banded 1/20/2010 and am freaking out!! I have people telling me I don't need this ( I have lost 35 lbs pre band as required by my dr), there's bad things behind surgeries, everything! it's stressing me out. I am the most paranoid person there is, so this scares me. Just looking for some good positive vibes for the day after tomorrow!!
  14. I am here!!! QUESTIONS!!! How the hell do you puree soup? What times do the surgeries happen? And I noticed you can have tea on the liquid stage. Hot or cold????
  15. Good morning everyone!! Pam ~ Dieters tea helps clean out your system if you know what I mean here's the kind I have: http://www.lacilebeau.com/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?Matnr=1023 put it this way, I was down almost 2 lbs after but mine makes you cramp HORRIBLY. Heather ~ Thank you!! I am getting super nervous!! Nicollie ~ I have missed you!!! OMG I CANT SLEEP ALL NIGHT ANYMORE!! I wake up thinking about surgery, I think about what I will be like pain wise when I wake up, etc. I CANT STOP!! HELP!! LOL!! 2 more days!!!!!!!!
  16. yep, 3 days (Almost 2) LOL! All I can say is dieters tea is NOT COOL LOL! I cramped so bad all day long...butttt I sure was 250 on the scale after everything bhahahahaha!!!
  17. Good point Heather...LOL!!
  18. Good Morning! Lee ~ I will be in building A, secord floor I believe is where the surgery takes place. From there I am unsure? Anyone know the answer? I know Tues I have to call @ 1:30 and find out my surgery time. Are they all in the morning?? You will be at goal by the end of this week, I can feel it! Maybe even by Weds!! Mo ~ I am good at grits but I am better at adding all the magic of bacon and butter at the end LOL!! I will be eating those instead of cream of wheat that's for sure! Jess ~ The one I had woke me up last night with the WORSE CRAMPS EVER!! I believe it's the "Senna" in this one...ouch! It reminded me why it's been in the cuboard untouched! For eating yesterday: Breakfast - My usual venti latte that as of today (Sunday) are no more until after my surgery. Lunch - 1/2 roast chicken with salad/ranch and a piece of pita bread Dinner - NONE. I just wasn't hungry and when I did feel the hunger coming is when I downed the diet tea. Walked 2 miles yesterday. Happy Sunday everyone!!!
  19. Jess ~ I got lucky and found some in the bathroom I bought a while back; Started it tonight! Tina ~ Thanks! too bad you arent' closer! I didn't know you lived sooo far away! I am worried about the baby too but everyone works around me. My mom doesn't have PTO, shes a nurse who takes care of an elderly woman close to my house. She told me she can't miss more then Tues/Weds, but she can take her again Thursday when she is off @ 2 pm. My ex is aware too that he might need to take Friday off so I can just rest...but that's a whole nother story...LOL Brings me to something. I am weird and I have a full size bed that is NOT on a frame, I like having it low...how the HELL am I going to get in it?? My mom wants me to buy a frame tomorrow. My couch is pretty high up, but couch equals baby/pets.... wow, If I had a Feb date I woulda had more time to prepare....LOL....
  20. That sounds great Tina, please do tell him. Tell him to be gental and safe with me too. LOL. Jess I went to Safeway, Walgreens, and Longs (CVS) and couldn't find the tea. Where do I get it?
  21. Tina where do you live? Pat ~ Don't let the stress get to you!! I have been trying to stay calm all this weekend, I need to prepare. I am going to listen to the CD they gave us also. As for my daughter my mom is taking her the night before the surgery and I am getting her the day after. My ex is going to take Friday off to help me also. I told him he has to keep Brianna from jumping/hanging/grabbing me, she's pretty rough. Also need to keep the dog/cats away from me, as they love jumping on my belly. So I broke two of my nails off today on my right hand, and my bf says uh its suppose to be one on each hand LOL! Now I will be missing 3! leave it up to me!
  22. Thanks John!! I will see you on the banded side! LOL...enjoy your vacation!! Have fun tonight ladies! Breakfast - 1 Venti Skinny Latte Lunch - 1/2 herb roast chicken with salad and ranch, small piece of pita bread Dinner - Will be an atkins shake My mom and I went to Vallejo and did the walk we all did, but we only last 1 mile and 1 mile back. She has lower back problems so we had to go slow...but hey excersize is excersize for me!!!
  23. Good to know, being my scale said 253 this morning, so I am about 251...LOL
  24. Question ~ On surgery day, are you weighed in your clothes or after your in your gown?
  25. Lee ~ The only thing that was reviewed with Liz for me is the quiz in chapter 10 I believe it was....
