Good luck Tamra! Get that date!!!!

Ash-awwwwww... My heart goes out to you. I totally forgot to PM you! I will tonight. His is just a quick post from my iPhone. I would like to share my experience with you. All-today was a really good day on program for me! Finally, I think it's this dang Body Magic tank top squeazing my gut to death! Jes and Candra, this thing is so tight I can't even think of over eating... There's on room! Food- B- coffee w/ sugar & non dairy cream and 4oz grilled chicken L-4oz grilled salmon, 1/4 cup rice and 1/4 cup mixed veggies S-green tea w/ peach w/ 2tsp sugar.

Morning all! I haven't measured either. I cound kick myself for not. I will try this week just to have "now" measurements. Still holding at 202lbs even with horrible eating/drinking weekend.... The one I failed to mention!!! LOL ! I really wish I could be there this weekend. It sounds like you all are going to have lots of fun. What time again??? I'm just may pull it off.

Hello All, Happy Monday!!!! I can see that it was.... Tamra and Nicolie-CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You both have worked do had to get to this point....Keep it going. It won't be long now. Use each other to stay motivated. Jes-I'm glad you had plenty of breath skiing...Isn't it great? Love it! You will get back on the wagon...I thought I was on and fell off over the weekend...One too many shots of Pat-and-Ron....KWIM??? I will be back on track...soon....Got a bit too comfortable. Pat-2 weeks will fly by.....Enjoy!! Candra, Pam, Riley, Heather, Lee, John....How are you??? Tina-Awwwww...Thanks for being honest....This too shall pass. You will be back on the wagon really soon. I hope Robin was comforting and nice to you! I am wiped....later!

Hey everybody!!!! Kinda quiet today!!!! Hope the weekend went well...

Ash-238lbs, huh??? Too Funny! I going to pm you my info... Have a great day everybody..... Today is a brand new day!

My surgery goal was 225 also...I did manage to get to 219.5lbs the day of surgery and 224lbs for my last weigh-in...It's funny because I was 238lbs after having my DD and really getting serious....13lbs is nothing....Of course, I can't lose it now but being banded is the best...I cant wait til the weight is gone..Everyone says I look different and they can tell....But in my mind, I look the same.

Yes, girl!!! Remind me closer. I'd would love to go check it out...You are so close...You can do it...We need to keep each other motivated.

Ash-I would like to try out the Antioch Support Group. When does it meet??? Do you live in Antioch? Belong to 24hr???

Tamra, I forgot about the pee-pee pregnancy test!

Tamra-unfortunately not...I'll keep you in mind though....

Mama-ash-I live in Pittsburg and work in Antioch. Sorry I took so long to reply...I just saw your post. Tamra-PM me your phone number.

Hey all, I had my 1st fill on this past Monday...Today is Thursday and I still feel lots of restriction....I went to a support group meeting last night and weighed-in and I never, ever weigh at night...Against my norm....I weighed in and I was 2.6lbs down from my Monday morning weight.... I could not beleive it. I am seriously not hungary and have to remind myself...rather my growling stomach and the length of time between my meals has to remind me to eat...something...

Tamra-No problem on the gym...You have your treadmill now, right??? We can always call each other and make sure we get on and off at the same time...I have been using mine pretty regularly. What's next...Help me out ya'll...This is what I remember.... After you meet the pre-surgery weight requirement...They schedule you for the case manager appt-with Liz...., they schedule you for the psycologist appt...Both are very easy and you will do fine at both. They will also schedule you for a pre-surgery class. They schedule you for lab work and an EKG.....This is all I can recall...Recently banded...Jes and Candra and anyone who remembers???? Chime in... Food- Breakfast-Coffee with sugar and non-dairy creamer 3 slices of turkey and 1 string cheese Lunch-1/2 cup Chicken Noodle Soup So far....and yes, I am feeling lots of restriction.

OMG! Nicolie and Tamra! I am so excited for you guys! Yes, this is going to happen! Yes, it is do-able! You both can lose the last 1.9lbs and nocolie's last lbs this week and together. Just no more McDonalds, Tamra! You can do this. Do you want to hitthe gym for a last chance workout like on Biggest Loser? I'll go with you! Let's make it happen.

Good evening!!! Back from the Kaiser Richmond Support Group Meeting. It was my first and was good. I think I may go back... Nice seeing Jes, Candra and meeting Lee for the 1st time...Awsome ladies.... Okay so, I went ahead and weighed-in and I guess the scale was not playing with me....I am down a few lbs...I have to go change my ticker. I am also exausted....I am getting ready to go check out the new show I keep hearing about, "One Big Happy Family". I DVR'ed it last night..... Nighty, night!!!!

Tamra-so sorry to hear about your granny. I wish her happiness. Congrats on the weightloss. You can do that in no time...I tell you I lost the 2lbs I had left in 6 days....Under pressure, I work well... Lee-what will you be wearing??? I'm coming and will be there early...I hope. I'm leaving at 5:00pm from Pittsburg...Depending on the traffic.... I have on all black....I know....But it's my standard weigh-in outfit.... Not sure if I am going to weigh-in though. I just saw the good Dr. on Monday..... Gotta check my home scale first... I will be pissed if they say that I gained and ounce. I have been working my tail off....Stuck to the Stage 1 diet on Monday, Stage 2 on Tuesday and Stage 3 all day today....If I weighted more...I'm liable to eat and hurt myself tonight... Food- Breakfast-coffee with half-in-half, and sugar... 1/2 cup grits Lunch-1 cup Cream of Chicken soup Dinner-or what I hope is dinner 2 scrambled eggs and 1slice toast....and I could not finish the eggs.... Just hope I don't eat anything later....I'm feeling pretty tight right now... I may have to drink some water to free-up some space. I may bring some chicken broth to keep me from overeating later....hummmmmmm????? See you all in a bit..............

Okay so, to keep me accountable!!! I will be at the meeting tonight! Tamra-do u want rto ride with me? I plan to leave at 5:00pm. Not sure what I'm wearing. I hoe to meet those of you I have yet to meet!

Hey there ladies.....I just want to say, "Wow!" You ladies are doing a great job...She enough of the talking about it..."Be" about it!!!! Way to go! Not sure about the 16th...I will let you all know. I think my scale is playing a cruel trick on me...Yesterday, AM it said 206.3. Today, it said, 202.9... There is absolutely no way I lost 3.4lbs in one freaking day...Mind you Kaiser's scale said 204.6, yesterday.... I have no idea how much I weigh... I am still planning to come tomorrow night. I think they still weigh one Wednesday of the month....It may be the 1st Wed of the month...With my luck, it's the 3rd Wed, as this is when Pre and Post-ops meet... Food- Breakfast@7:30-Coffee w/ 2tsp sugar and non-dairy creamer Lunch@11:00-1 cup Cream of Chicken Soup Iced Tea later Snack@3:00-4oz Jello 16oz Chicken Broth eating wise, I have had a great day on program...I'm on Stage II today.... Although, I still have dinner to get through... Not real hungary though...Trying to get to Onderland......

Hi Reggie, I cant wait to meet you. I saw some pics of you on Saturday. Don't fall off...Candra, John and I know the good Dr can be quite harsh....Don't let him have the satisfaction.... Do you live close enough to Richmond to get to the support group meeting this Wednesday night????

LOTTO!!! Me too, Jes...If only???? I'm just glad to know that it's not a requirement...I don't need the baggering and belittling.... the nurse did say I could set a phone appt if I wanted too. Of course, I bypassed that too. I just hit the treadmill for 46:13minutes have showered and I feel good. I have to eat my jello as soon as it sets.... Okay so I have made arrangements for Wednesday and plan to come...If I am not too tired after work...I may even just go straight to Richmond at 3:30pm and go to Hilltop or something. Because if I come home....babe....that's all she wrote. I'll be back....

Hey All, John, opps! Sorry, I'm sure I had some hand on his tardiness. Sorry the appt was emotional. However, sometimes that's what we need to get ourselves together! Keep us posted on your surgery date. Wish I were going to Mexico. Adding on.... Snack- green tea w/ peach dinner will be chicken broth and jello.... While my family eats baked pork chops, red beans and rice and collard greens!!! So not fair! But, I will be hott later! The payoff can't come quick enough. Oh, I'm getting on the treadmill when they start eating!

Jes, I will try to stick to the stages.....If I can....I am psychologically hungary....Not real hunger... Candra-Good for you on calling and getting your appt. Did you tell them you'd prefer not to see Robin??? Maria-You can do it! I'm with you... My mini goal is to lose the 4.6lbs by next week... My next goal is to be at 190lbs by Valentine's Day... Who all is planning to go to the Richmond Support Group on Wednesday and are the ever any children there? Are they allowed????

Thanks, Canolie
