I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Hi

everything band related is going well.

Had my second fill yesterday made a big difference too!

I've lost 7 kg in 6 weeks and im feeling fantastic.

How are all the other July banders going with weight loss, fills etc.

Love Chloe

Surgery July 20, first fill this past Monday, down 36 lb.

I agree about the exercise challenge. I myself have stopped my routine. I'm sad about that. :car: I have a part-time job now, so here's how my day goes...I'm up at 5am to get to work at 6am. I get off at 2pm to get to my part-time job at 3pm. I get off my part-time job at 11pm. When and where do I fit my exercise??? I LOVED doing it in the morning, but my gym doesn't open until 5am.

I've gotta figure s'thing out b/c I can tell a HUGE difference since I haven't been working out.

As for the challenge, we can (1) do one just for us Lucky 7s or (2) we can join some of the other challenges out on the board. I know there's a September to Thanksgiving challenge that was started.

What do ya'll think???

BTW, GOOD MORNING, everyone!!!

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Cherea

Chim, how many days per week are you doing this insane schedule???

Brandy i agree wit your DH. cos you'll have to be on liquids or soft foods for a day or 2 after. if you can change the date and they will give you one not to far away i personally would go with that. but you know whats best for you.

over here familys or schools never have reunions i so love the sound of that!!

BTW, GOOD MORNING, everyone!!!

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Cherea

Cherea darling how are you today??

i see i must have smelled bad last night while i was on no-one was around i get on and suddenly out of nowhere there lots of action. i'm so hurt!!! :car:

have gossip for me girl??

have a good day?

Chim, how many days per week are you doing this insane schedule???

LOL. I am doing it 4 days/week - Mon, Wed, Thu, and Fri. I have some things I want to do in my new (6 mos old) condo and I prefer to pay cash...

I know it's nuts, but I'm my sole support. Wish I had a hubby to help...but oh well. In God's timing, that will happen, too.

Hey Dini!!! What's happening girl?

I'm doing okay. As you can see, I'm working like crazy, too. I'm still talking to Marion and things are going great! I really like him. :car:

Hi Chloe!

I was banded 7/25 and haven't been filled, yet. My first fill is on 9/27. I have lost 17lbs. I'm sure I've lost more since my last doctor's visit. I refuse to weigh myself, so I just wait until each doc's appt. I can tell I'm still losing b/c my clothes are fitting differently! YAY!

I'm glad all things are going well for you!

Dini girl, HEY!!!! How was Italy? How are things with Adam? Hugs and kisses to Annafrancesca. Don't work to hard. I had problems with yahoo and have had to reinstall. I should be available for chat tomorrow and forward.

Lynette, where are you?????

dont be so had on yourself. pressure isn't going to make anything better and its not going to make you feel good.

How was italy, how long have you got! it was amazing. when i instant chat you i'll tell you all about it dont wanna bore everyone!!! i loved it

things with adam are good but i'm still on the fence i'm not letting my gaurd down but he saw a totally different side of me in italy and he loves it. but i know i am a totally different person over there.

i'm off to wake Annafrancesca if i possible can and bring her to play school she loves it there and everyone loves her which is great.

Now about Lynette where is she.

LYNETTE WHERE ARE YOU???

hope all is ok?

Yeah working this hard is a biatch...but we've gotta do it, huh? I get to see Marion on the weekends b/c we're both so busy during the week. We have a lot of fun together. Sorry...he doesn't have any brothers. Just a sister. I'll keep my eye out for you though! LOL.

Sorry about the gas! How stupid is that? Why are they estimating anyway? Just get the actual reading and be done w/it. And why did they all of sudden decide to not estimate this month?

Your sayings crack me up. Cheeky cow, moany cow. Hahahahaaaa!!!

Hello all. Just watned to pop on and say hi. I am to in a funk. An emotional FUNK. I tell you I have been crying at the drop of a hat lately. Feeling really blue!!! Anyway, I a, going for my second fill tommorow. Hope that will give me somet restriction. I dont eat as uch as I used to but I do eat to much.

Well I better go. Time to try getting some sleep again. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. Jakie

Ok Jackie - 1st we need to find out why you are in a funk... Then we can go from there. Its it hormonal (sp) or is there something going on in your life. Sometimes when I am in a funk - i will either wallow in it or make myself get out and get around my happy friends, I have gf who is like me and will slap me in the face (not literilay but figurtively) and wake me up. I remember reading before that alot of people after surgery were getting this way. Go watch a funny movie - read a happy book - do what you did last night get on line and it seems like there is always someone here who will help - don't watch the news, just don't eat...

Marcy, I didn't get to tell you congrats on your anniversary!!!! Your DH is awesome! That was so romantic of him. And the diamond!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! I'm so jealous.

Congratulations, again!

Ya Marcy I forgot to tell you that you have a wonderful man there... I think that night after reading about 2 1/2 pages - it was late and i didn't post...

What do ya'll think???

OMG Chim even when I was your age I could not have worked those hours!!!! I think we should have our own excercise challenge (imho)..

Dini- Our electric company will estimate our bills sometime in the summer when the meter readers are on vacation - Well think about it I live in the DESERT HOT SUMMER - and they will estimate low - and then the next month have a $400 bill just for electric.. I can't beleive your whole staff just up and quit... Glad to hear that you & Adam are getting on better. I think I missed my calling - I should have been a counsler or motivational speaker (imho) - It's just too bad that it's easier to give advice than follow it :phanvan. I am a person who tells it like it is (i think you are that way too :biggrin1:)

Phyl - I would love the 4 dayer out of Long Beach - the younger once will love it as this was my 1st curise back in 93 and it was a party ship - I did party til 4 in the morn back then - now don't think i could hang that late but might give it a good effort :biggrin1:...

Sunny - Will be in touch - hope the funk is lifting.
