Happy Happy June!!

I'm happy today.... oh yeah oh yeah.... I told you guys I would like to lose 34 pounds by Sept 21st on the May chat? Well I only have to lose 31 pounds oh yeah oh yeah:clap2: ...I'm walking my butt off and continuing curves and closing the mouth!!! oh yeah oh yeah....I just got weighed and measured at curves and I'm down another 4.5 inches since April 21st so that makes my total inches 41 total pounds according to curves 65 but is really 67 and the best part of all of this is oh.... yeah oh yeah.... I'm 201 not the area code the # on the scale!!!!

I'm in a fantastic mood!!:banana

:typing: Good morning Friends,

After checking the mail yesterday..... with NO approval letter I telephoned the Primary Dr. They indeed reviewed my documents and forwarded them to insurance. Which day? Last week thursday or friday. Well, the rule is 5 business days. I should give them until Friday June 2 -- which is Tomorrow. I'm good with that.

What a weird/stressful 2 days at work. Tuesday I had to call in a social worker for suspected child abuse - not fun, and then yesterday a boy was pushed from the slide and cracked his head on the cement. Head injuries just are the worst. I stood there putting pressure/ice and finally got it stopped. Then the Mom finally arrives and I can't talk to her..... we need to find a translator. Mom then tells us she doesn't have a car and that she will take the bus in 90 degree heat to the hospital for boys stitches! God bless our principal, she told us to call a taxi and she handed the Mom cash for payment! By 1pm I was wiped out and so I drove to the store..... bought a piece of cake..... sat a home and ate it..... then felt better. Emotional eating strikes once again. Sure, glad that I have that therapist lined up, I can't do this lapband thing without guidance, and friends.

Uh-oh, late for work Talk later!

Just want to say....It is June 1st....and I am in the right place!...JUNE chat!! I did my long post yesterday in May's chat thread. I am SOOOOO with it!! Last month it took me 3 days to figure I was not where I needed to be!!!

Way to go Diane!!! You will make it to your goal, all ya gotta do is stay as motivated as you are right now!

Awww Patty, I bet that little guy was so glad to have you with him, they get so scared when they realize they are bleeding...or bloodin' as my little brother used to say!!! Have youheard whether he is ok?

Happy June everyone!

Kat

June... Ahhh... A fresh start!

WTG Dianne... you are rocking your little socks off!!! It feels good to exercise... for the mind body and soul... not sure why I always want to fight doing it???? You are definitely going to reach your goal!!!

Patty... What a bummer day!!!! Head lacerations are the worst... little guy must have been bleeding like there was no tomorrow! I'll be crossing my fingers that you find out about your approval tomorrow... wouldn't that be a great way to start the weekend!

I didn't work out today *GASP!!!!* I needed to stay home and get things done around the homefront. I also am back to counting calories so that I can hopefully get my eating a little more under control. I said I would never count calories again after this surgery... dork. Never say never!

My yearly check is July 3rd and I really want to be back under 200 by then but I imagine that is highly unlikely! Oh well... shoot for the moon and be happy that ya tried!

Here's to June!

Happy June everyone! I'm off to pick up DS from school. Bought 3 more flats of flowers to plant today. I will catch up on the May chat and do personals later. Just 6 more school days until Summer vacation. I think I'm more excited than my son. Talk to you all soon.

:hippie: I'm not buying anymore flowers!!!!! ... well... until Saturday.:hippie:

Five tips for a woman....

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on! and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

Foot Note:

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:

"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."

Hey Y'all!

Darcy, send four of them men over here and make it fast!

Sorry about you dog, I know you have had so many problems with them. My heart goes out to you, I know when I had my pets, they were like my kids, and it sure hurt to lose one or have one get really sick.

Dianne - Great job with the w/l, heck you'll be there before you know it.

Beanie - I was really good at the fair, I shared a turkey leg with DH and drank Water, it was after I got home and all the neighbors got together for supper that I screwed up! :D I wish I would have gotten to meet up with you! Hey, I watched that nun show, how funny!

Patty - Go get them girl! Keep after them, they'll get sick of the phone calls and push you to the front!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Sorry about the accident, but glad you were there to help him.

Kat - I'm still keeping you and DH in my thoughts, I just know things will be alright. I would love to go to the Austin rally, just haven't made it yet! Maybe next year. I haven't forgotten that you want a picture of my bike either, I will get to it soon, I promise!

I haven't caught up with the rest of the posts, seems like I just don't have enough hours to get it all done. I have been trying to post a few things on the boards too, but it seems like as soon as I start reading some of them, I run out of time to post! I sure hope people don't think I just don't care, because I like helping them alot!

Cindy, Eileen, Anne, Sherry, Becky, Ira, Pat, and everyone else I missed, hope you are having a great day.

I walked outside today and had another tomato ready to pick! Yummmmm, I love fresh tomatoes. My peppers are getting almost big enough too. But....... my weeds in my flower gardens are out growing the plants! Boy do I have my work cut out for me.

The Mav's play tonight, and I sure do hope they win! Y'all keep your fingers crossed for them huh?

I started walking again, did it for two weeks, and then this week, my foot is back to swelling up again, so no walking this week. I'll probably end up getting it checked out if I don't see some improvement soon.

Well, going to go kick back and enjoy the rest of my evening.

Hi everyone, I am waiting to hear about a date for surgery and bootcamp etc. I hope it can be in the first week of July, that would work out good with the job. Do you think that the band will work as well as the bypass surgery? They say I can change my mind if I want to. The support group is this Monday comming in Galloway NJ. It's really good. The Dr.O will be Dr. Did any of you have him? Well hope to hear from some of you. Patti

OK OK I made it lol. Just got back from a Lapband support meeting and information meeting. My friend is really interested so I brought her up there Just too dang tired and HUNGRY to do personals. Last meal I ate at noon now I'm afraid to eat this late. UGH.

Hugs

June Chat

I POSTED THIS THIS MORNING.. SEEMS WE MUST HAVE STARTED THE SAME POST..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good Morning and Welcome to June...

Darcy - Have you made an appt with Your Doc yet? Hopefully it turns out to be nothing but better to be safe.. Sorry to hear about Ava ~ ouch in the pocketbook ~ Hopefully your babies will get to feeling better soon.

Hi Kat ~ Praying that you get the call and everything can move along for you and DH. I have not had time to read back on your trip ~ Hope you all enjoyed it and relaxed. You got it girl...

Donna ~ My Heart and Prayers go out to you. I have seen on my ex's side what alcohol can do to a family. Hopefully he will make a turn around.

Eileen ~ Mine are coming more common since Dec ~ early menapouse is what the Doc says. Hopefully it is not true but it's expected I guess.

Beanie - I have a call into my Lawyer cause I really do believe that I am entitled to the whole thing. But in order to get him to sign off on the house I will use anything at this point to keep the peace and the house and it's contents. Believe me I would rather not give him a dime for all the emotional crap I have had to take from his bottom of the barrel family and that is putting it nicely. I will be taking cell phone / ins pymt off the top... sounds like you all had a good time this weekend

Patty ~ was it hard to set up the Tivo? I would really love one but am still not sure. I order movies from Net flix and those sit around my home for like a month. I was thinking they were going to call and tell me to send them back..

Pat ~ Sorry about your friend {{HUGS}}}

I love your golf course yard.. Especially your ride ~ I could go round and round on that all day.. Even make money giving rides.

Cindy ~ glad you are ticket free..

Betty ~ Are you getting any rest yet??

Becky - Happy Belated Birthday

Sherry ~ have you checked out Ebay for the Gun he wants? That is good that he is working to offset the cost..

" EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH ~ SHERRY"

Dianne ~ I bet once the Snacks are out of the picture for you and ME - we will see a differance..

Carol ~ Hi

Well here we go another day in the neighborhood. Just pluggin away and waiting for the insurance lady or adjuster to call. Total loss is what the adjuster told the collision place.. See how much they will be offering is the next question?

Other than that this would be the first weekend he would get the boys for overnights but he already said he would rather not take them till he has his apt ready? humm all the flippin fighting and now he does not want them. A$$

Well tomorrow is pay day and hoping to get some bills out of the way at least on my side, little does he know that there is a garnishment on his check. Kids are doing great and ex SIL is taking them to the park to ride bikes today. Other than that not a whole lot going on today. I bring in Breakfast tomorrow that is todays delimma.. Crap why did I agree???

Hi, I have a question for all of you with some "fill" experience. As it stands now, I am scheduled for my first fill on the 16th of this month. DH has his last tests run here on this coming Thursday, and then we will schedule the surgery. The local cardiologist told him it would likely be the week of the 19th sometime. Is this fill going to make eating out as I will have to all the time too difficult? Would I be better off postponing it, or will it be ok? Thanks for any input you might have for me!

Kat

Kat - Stress really does things to the band, so just be careful if you do get a fill. It would depend on how much fill you get as to how much eating out would bother you. I had a few fills before it bothered me, but some get tight on the first fill and can't eat much. You might want to consider waiting until things are over with before you get the fill, or just get a small one. If you aren't having problems with hunger yet, I definately would wait.

Guess I wasn't much help huh?

Actually it does help, I am leaning towards postponing it, I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else, who has been there, so I didn't feel like I was just losing sight of my goal amidst all of this. My weight is maintaining, but I have continued to lose inches if not pounds. My calves and my arms actually enlarged, but I figure that is muscle developement...or I am hoping!!! Some hunger issues, but I think I can handle them for awhile....maybe!!!

Thanks!

Kat

Happy June!

Kat, you and Dh are still in my prayers. On the fill, my 2 cents...stress really does affect what I can eat, probably because if I'm stressed I eat too fast, and too big of bites. I can eat out just fine, though...there will always be soup, where ever you eat...but you just do what you think you can handle. It will all work out eventually. The band is still there, and it will wait for you.

Diane...you go, girl! 201 is soooo awesome! I'm looking so forward to getting there. I'm so happy for you!

Betty, I bet you are doing the happy dance for the Mavs tonight! The next game is Sat. night, and we'll be at the Gaylord Texan, so guess I better see if they make reservations at the sports bar there...huh? My DD and I might swim, but my sis, BIL and dad will definitely want to hang out and watch the game.

Darcy, hang in there. I've been there, and it's tough.

Pat, what's up? Eileen, Beanie, Mary, Patty, and all the rest of you wonderful people, hope you have enjoyed the first day of June!

Hugs, Cindy

Good Morning,

I am up very early today.. Stress ~ cannot sign in to my online banking.. Seems I used up all the tries they give you.. Today is my breakfast day at work. I am just stopping off at Carls Jr and buying something. I did not cook last night and was not about to this morning.

Other than that not much is going on which is good in my neck of the woods.

I go see the BT Lawyer today and well I am at it - the Lawyers office put down the wrong persons name to be garnished at my Ex place of employment.

Darcy ~ How are your babies doing?

Kat ~ With Stress ~ you might get tighter and then you will be stressing more. I would really wait.

Cindy ~ sounds like fun. I was alos going to add what a Trooper you were on your visit..

Betty ~ woo Hoo 8 pounds to go for you. That is awesome

Patti ~ Good Luck and welcome to LBT

Dianne ~ You are doing awesome ~ way to go..

Eileen ~ where are you???

Patty ~ Poor little guy that is so terrible. OMG

If it helps any I called my Insurance and got the approval over the phone before I actually got the letter in the mail. Then I turned around and let the office know the letter of approval was on the way - so they schedualed me in..

Pat ~ Beanie ~ Where you all at???

The have a Mediaval fair tomorrow in Ft. Collins so I might be going to that.

Dad came by last night and said he changed his mind ~ he might just take them for the whole weekend. That is going to suck big time for me. I have been down about that all week ~ I know it has to happen but he was so like No I am not ready cannot do it and now he changed. I hope he just does the day thing like he says and does not take them for over nights. I see where Patty watches movies ~ so I made sure I would have some on hand just in case to take my mind off it for awhile.

OH did I mention Chalio is going to have a black eye? Good thing dad saw what Cristian did. We have a padded little bat that Dad bought the kids and Cristian tossed it at Chalio and he was not even paying attention. Well need I say it hit him right under the eye and caused a little scrape. Anyway it is blue this morning. Cristian only acts up when Dad is around and pushes the envelope. Well better get in the shower so I can get ready for work. I really should have taken the day off.

Oh yeah the Pregnant Girl is back from maturnity leave. Poor thing she still looks 9 months. We told her ~ all the fried food and junk she ate the whole entire time was going to stick around. I hope she takes care of it..

oh Yeah - Congrats the New Jersy for winning the Spelling Bee:)

See you all later...
