P.S. It is so adjitating since I was goal on last Friday :smile2:

Hi everyone! I have my apt. for my barium swallow @ 10:55 in Walnut Creek to see if I have a hernia. No eating past midnight, which wont be a problem since I'm in bed before then and not much of a breakfast person. But I was hoping to weigh in @ goal in the AM. All week I have been fighting this 1-2 lbs from my time of the month crap. Any advise?

Mo-don't worry about it hun! Call me if you need to talk or want to get out. Heck me n you could do my Wii fit while our kids play together lol! Rachelle- I'm with Fremont Kaiser and they love the protein shakes like no tomorrow!

It's between 3-9 pm and we are going to be there around 6 pm. If you go tell them you are there to support Oakley Pre-school. Let me know too cause I'm dragging the whole fam-bam :thumbup:

Aww I wish I could go too, but my son's pre-k is doing a fund raiser @ Chuck E Cheeses & although I hate the place, my son schooling is free and they need all the support that they can get.

John- Congrats on the weight loss! Mo-I saw that is was raining and I figured that we would have to skip our walk. I will call you latter :thumbup: Rachelle- Nice to meet you! Ali- Congrats on the date! Tam- I got my fingers crossed you will get a fill! Jes- A friend of mine got me into green smothies a while back. It is the only way my boys will eat anything green. The way I did them made me last 3-4 hrs without hunger but with a fast decline right after. Pam- Glad you are back safe! I have my TOM right now so I am up 1-2 lbs :thumbdown: I have an apt in WC Kaiser on Friday and I want to weigh in then at goal so I'm doing everything I can right now. Wish me luck. Also when is our next get together to send of Nicolie? I need the details :thumbup:

I'm at goal this AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (of course this was naked before breakfast on my scale this AM) and I got my referral for my barium swallow, so I need to call and make an apt. Hopefully I will be down -2 lbs below goal @ that apt. for documentation. Heres to being 225LBS!!!!!

Mo- Get better soon Girl! I need my partner in crime :thumbup: I walked as much of the Big Break trail in Oakley that my kids would allow me to and it was nice. I want you to do it with me as soon as you feel better

Hi everyone! Sounds like the meeting was fun! Sorry I missed it. I had some friends over. I weighed myself this AM and........................... 227.5!!!! 2.5 lbs left, supper low carbing it with Tam-Tam. PS. Tam send me your # so we can text for motivation!

Congrats John!!!!!!!!!

Hi all! Just checking in. I did ok today, but could have been better! Yes Tam-Tam I am excited and nervous LOL! Hope everybody had fun at Point West today!

Tam- Good luck on the low Carb High Protein, thats what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks to get done to goal. I called two weeks ago to tell Kaiser Fremont that I was 4 lbs away from goal and if they could schedule me for surgery since they are booking a month out and I know I will be at goal by then. The case mgr. said she would put my file on Dr. Chu's desk for review. So then they did call me to tell me they where sending a referral for a barium swallow in Antioch so I don't have to go to Fremont yesterday. So I will let you all know when that is lol!

Oh and drum roll please...... 228 this AM!!!!! 3 lbs to go!!!!

I stress over my babies and their future weight as well. Tam- i was told the same thing by my OB. My hubby has been over weight since he was 12-13 because of an accident that left him couch bound for 3 months. I on the other hand was always chubby or thick but started being over weight after high school. So my worries for my 3 year old is that although he is skinny now, he will gain latter like me and his dad. But my 2 year old has always been chunky (but oh so cute!) and he wont eat any veggies So I know he will have a long road ahead of him. But I just have to do the best that I can to keep them active and always offer them a healthy alternative.

Thanks Heather. I suppose my only problem is where to host it. I don't want to always host it @ my house cause of my kids, and I think that a sight for people to log in and chat with would be great but meetup.com charges 12$ a month, and Yahoo & Google groups require you to have an email account with them to use their free groups which not everyone uses them for their email.

Hi Ladies and John. I did watch that piece on CNN. It was a short one but informative and enlightening. I just got back from the Antioch WLS support meeting. Tam & Mo, be glad you did not go. As some of you know it was never a Kaiser supported meeting. It is ran by a Kaiser employee who had bypass 6 years ago. Well apparently she is tired of running the meeting and tonight was officially the last one. There was no warning, and this has left a lot of people without a place to go that is not less then 45 min's away. Since this lady is a Kaiser employee, she was able to secure a room once a moth for free. There was a pre-opp women at the meeting tonight that wanted to take on the task of keeping the meetings going. I had offered to help since I was considering doing the same, but it seemed like she did not want any help. So I guess I will see where that goes. I had really enjoyed having the meetings only 15 min from my home and they where fun. Plus my heart goes out to all the other people who need the support, as I have been making friends in this WLS support meeting :Banane20: Now I'm contemplating starting my own meet-up group.

1 hour. I just tried to reply with just that response but it told me I have to lengthen my reply lol! This would be easier if it had a chat option.

Mo- we need to get our hubbies together so they can watch the kiddos together and it not be so boring!!!

Ohhh I set my DVR for that! John I friended you too!!!! Mo & Tam-Tam it's @ 7:30. & No scale but I have to say this group does the best meeting that I have been to by far. Let me know I am for sure going. So if you want to meet before let me know.

Candra- Thanks for the input. I took it off and put it away. I'm not gona wear it but I will wait until I have lost more weight to change the size. TamTam- I hate paying for books!!!!! Thats why I love online classes. I'm about to go on my EA sports active tonight. I did walk 2 miles this AM on my treadmill though, but the hubby asked me to join him which he doesn't do that often cause he is tired from work.

Tam- This Wednesday @ 7:30

Mo!!!!! I see you down there lol! You need to call or text me girl :confused:

Congrats Laurel!!! TamTam- I just might. Kinda sucks but I would rather not wear it then lose it!

Yeah but it's $50 every time. I can think of plenty things I would rather spend that money on. And until I pay for it to be done,I can't wear it most of the time cause I don't want to risk losing it lol!

Thanks Tam-Tam! it's bad today and I suppose it doesn't help that i am staring @ the computer screen but I'm toggling back & forth with my home work that needs to get done.
