Hey ladies Yes I'm gonna be there.. I NEED ALL THE SUPPORT I CAN GET. I had my Psych Evaluation on Wednesday.. SHES A HARD BALLER!!! I left in tears.. but they were good tears. I didn't think it would be that intense.. but it was.. She said she wasn't going to stop me from having surgery, but she said I have to see her 1 more time before my surgery, and that even though I quit smoking, she wants me to take a quit smoking class. WHEW... I know its all for the better.. whatever it takes to make me a better person physically, mentally.. I'm willing to do it.:scared2: I saw TAMARA for a hot quick second but it was literally a blink of the eye. haha.. Is anyone leaving from Vallejo Tomorrow? Can I follow someone? or.. can someone PM ME THE address and time to the meeting.? Well I'm in a struggle.. I have 7 more lbs to lose and this is just HARD.. but i'm hangin in there... -
girl I've been eating hard boiled eggs, salad with tuna, Lean cuisine (various kinds under 200 calories) Yogurt,.. I haven't had an energy drink all week and I REALLY WANT ONE!! .. I have 7.5 more lbs to go..I do like 5 miles or less a day walking... I do 2 walks in the day and then I do about a mile and half after work... and damn.. we just hit the weekend.. this is like a big test time for me.. My girls are comming over tonight cuz they wanna drink.. and from my understanding we can't drink for like 6 months till after the surgery.. so this is like one of my last times drinking.. I think I'll just stick to the Sugar Free Red bulls and Voldka... what about you?? have you walked the new bridge yet?? how was it? we should hook up and walk one day!

Hi Tamara! just wanted to say How ya doin girl?! I don't know if you heard but i'm not getting the Lap. My doctor recommended that I get the Lap-RNY instead. And I trust my Dr.'s judgement so yeah.. but i'm still on here.. I need that Yay Area support! lol I'm thinking me and you will be having surgery around the same time... I got 7 more lbs to go before surgery weight goal.. and I see you're down to 6!! good for you girl!!! I know its hard.. but ITS SOO WORTH IT!!

Candra!!! Congrats Girl!!! now its all about melting away those pounds... its All GraVy Baby!! whoa that was super fast! Jes!! your up next to Bat! I'm excited for you too! Tamara!! I'm thinking me and you just might be in the same time frame in getting our surgery. When I saw Dr. Park she said I have to lose 13 more pounds I've lost 2.5 so far.. I started my 1200 calorie diet and I'm working out EVERYDAY..(speed walking or jogging) ok So my next step... is there a Meeting this Saturday? I can't make it to the Wednesday appointments, but I have absolutely nothing planned this Saturday so I'm hoping I can do a support group then. Riley I know you have the 411 for me on that! (wink) -

Hey Ladies... Ok got some good news .. and... not so bad news... I met with my Dr. today.. she's Awesome! just like Jes said.. straight and to the point. So I was kinda 50/50 on the Lapband and the RYGB.. so me and her discussed over the pros and cons.. so I've decided not to get the lap, but the RYGB. She told me I have to lose 13 more lbs and more than likely I'm looking at surgery time either at the end of October- begining of November. I'm not sure if I should stay on this forum since i'm not doing the lapband.. but yeah.. sorry ladies.. I'm here with you by spirit but not by band... :laugh: -

Hello Beautiful People! OH MI GOSH BECKY!! Candra, Jes you 2 are soooo CLOSE!! I'm soo excited for the both of you!! I'm doin the booty shakin dance in honor of you 2!!! LOL!! Well, I kinda had a irritating moment.. I spoke to one of my friends that I hadn't seen in awhile and I told her about what I've decided to do... And she just gave me this "what the hell?!" attitude. I was confused and hurt because for me- choosing to do this surgery ENDS my battle with Diabetes (amongst other things I have to go thru being an overweight person). Which is a WONDERFUL thing. I'm just hurt because all her statements where about am I sure I want to do this.. This is just an easy way out. I really don't need this... yada yada yada.. I told her THIS IS NO WHERE NEAR EASY. I wanted to explain what we really have to go thru and the SACRAFICES that we have to make in order to do this.. I guess It just made me sad, because She didn't see it the way I did.. and for her to be my friend.... :w00t:... Anyways.. oh wells.. it doesn't change what I want.. Just disappoints me that some people don't want to open their minds. I'm excited about my appointment with Dr. Park tomorrow.. I'm READY!!! -

I'm excited too!! I just read up on Dr. Park and sounds like she's AWESOME! Yes this morning I wore my wooden High Heels which is about maybe 5 lbs alone? I was shocked when I saw the scale but remembered I have my shoes on! Our guest surgeon speaker was Dr. IM- He was very informative and Funny. My next appointment is for this Friday to Meet with Dr. Park. I'm not sure what this first appointment is for but from my understanding this is when I really start getting into it, and soo forth.. I want to go to the Wednesday support group but unfortunately that ties into my Hula practice with my daughters.. so Maybe I'll check out the Sacramento one or see what else is nearby? -

Hey hey.. I'm still suffering from my toothache.. and the vicodin just throws me all off.. suppose to have dental surgery this thursday and I'm not looking forward to the procedure they have to do.. ;( Well at least I won't be able to eat afterwards so that'll jumpstart me before I get officially weighed in.. Anyways.. if I don't check back its because i'm in a yucky mood but I hope you ladies have a wonderful day! :thumbup: -

Hey Candra and Jess... I was looking at your signatures and I noticed both of you had a surgery date and then it was delayed? Do you mind if I ask why there was a delay? -

YAY!!!! OK MY DAY Just did a complete TURN AROUND!!! Sara from Richmond Kaiser just called me and Scheduled me for my ORIENTATION CLASS!!! ohhh Happy happy joy joy!!! ok so My class is on September 8th at 7 am in Richmond.. i'm soo excited.. i have 3 weeks to burn... this is all slowly becoming a reality to me and OMG I think my aunt flow is really comming soon my eyes are tearing (getting a lil emotional here).. I don't know where in life you ladies are at.. but to actually think I could possibly not be diabetic anymore and Lose weight!! God is good:rolleyes:. wow.. I'm so happy I forgot about the tooth pain! Maybe i'm thinking too far ahead.. but I think it would be neat if we all get like a matching tattoo or matching belly button rings like in a year! haha maybe do a Vegas or Cruise trip for the sisters of the traveling Bands?! Ok i'm just happy going to orientation.. what more when its the big OPERATION DAY..??? -

I think you can eat a lil before you go just to tame the tummy a lil and if you decide to eat anything at the church function, jus stick with the meat and Veggies.. no bread- no sugar.. I think you'll be ok. -
