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?

Morning 7s :wave:

I've been thinking of the impending holiday season too. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy eating. I've always made such a big feast for Christmas. We'd have family over to share meals because I always cooked far too much. Now that we live in Texas, there's only the 3 of us (me, hubby, 9 year old son). I don't know if I know how to cook for such a small gathering with no unexpected guests. :straight The past few years I've simply over-eaten before anything spoils because.... well because it's what you do at Christmas. :rolleyes Now I only eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food. Normally that would just be my cranberry sauce serving LOL What's a girl to do? There's no way I could cook a whole turkey and not have it spoil. I'm not even sure I can eat turkey yet. I've struggled since my first fill with chicken so I've steered clear of it.

I guess I'll have to research online for recipes for meals for two. But my turkey-and-all-the-trimmings-extravaganza was my THING! You can't downgrade a masterpiece, lol. :cool:

Find out if your community does a Thanksgiving Dinner for homeless or indigent people. You can do your thing by helping with the cooking and serving and get a real blessing at the same time. Or if there is a college near you, there are always kids who can't or don't go home for Thanksgiving and probably someone at the college could help get you in touch. One community we lived in had a lot of foreign students attending and people from our church would invite them for Thanksgiving/Christmas festivities. Just some ideas for you to think about. :hungry:

I got this from wasabubblebutt - thought it was cute - (I love these kind of things) Think my name is approriate - angel / devil -

Yep, that's my Halloween name according to the following website:

Get your goth name

What's yours?

Way too freaky... I think I'll use my maiden name for this one!!! Apparently mine is "Euphoric Endeavor". If I use my married name it is really gross.

Hi Ladies,

I too find it wonderful to see everybody making progress towards a healthier life. I feel much better already, my energy has gone way up, and I *know* I am going to live longer.

I have a lot going on this week, I don't know what I was thinking but I am hosting 3 parties, there is a potluck at school I need to cook for, and a benefit to attend. In addition, I have to find time to celebrate my birthday! I guess running around like crazy will be my exercise.

I got my school pictures today and was amazed to see how different they are from last year's. My face has completely changed. I can't tell looking in the mirror, but the pictures scream change. It is weird. Anyways, I will see if I can figure out how to post them later.

Have a great week!

And I got Dead Fart, so I went for maiden name and got putrified anus.....not funny!

I was banded july 30th...

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Hi Dini! Thanks for the kind words.

I've been having trouble with food of late. Seems everything makes me slime a little the last couple of days. Getting old! Food doesn't seem to be that enjoyable lately. But, can't really complain. Haven't lost in last few days, but think I'll make my goal by the cruise. Would like to be 162 by then.

Take care!

Hey not much going on here so i'm going to head to bed hope everyone is well.

CC whens your B-day? and where's my invite to all these parties!!!!!!!!!!!!

night all xxx

Ok I had to come here and tell you all. I was just talking to a friend about the body bugg and she went on the computer to 24 hour fitness and ordered her bugg. It is on sale for $279.00 plus free shipping. I gave her the coupon code that I had used and IT STILL WORKS!!!!!!!!!! She got $50 more off so she only paid $229 for her bugg!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Aunty Phyl! What fantastic ideas. That's got me really excited. :biggrin1:

Ruby - 3lbs is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Jackie - Maybe I should get the body bug. She sound like you have a healthy obsession.

Brandy - I'm strange but putrified anus is hysterical to me. I think I'll use it.

I have MIA since August but am caught up on most of the posts. Everyone seems to be doing well and I am inspired by the weight loss! It's a comfort to know everyone has the same ups and downs as I do.

I just had my 2nd fill this past Saturday and feel less hungry and way more satisfied. I still think I can eat quite a bit but I am happy with what I got. I haven't yet experienced the wonders of pb'ing or sliming and am hoping to avoid it all together. I went to a new fill doctor this time and am happy to have found someone who wants me to get fills on a regular schedule and actually use my band. I found out with my first fill that my surgeon actually is against getting fills. Believe it or not, he actually told me to focus on eating my greens and sugar-free jello. Um, hello, but I'm fat not stupid!! I think I could write a book on nutrition info on different foods. I was pretty p.o'd after my 1st fill. He will not be seeing me again!

My goth name: Crying' Shame. Kind of boring, dead fart and petrified anus are way better.

Keep on truckin' Lucky Sevens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
