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?

O.k. I tried to upload a picture, hope it come thru... Picture of me CONCENTRATING on hiking and (not falling ha,ha) from yesterday.:biggrin:

O.k. picture of TWIG my dog, a picture of me almost losing my balance but recovering just in time! and a Picture of the Newly engaged daughter and my SIL2B....

Stephanie, I am so glad you got your dog... that must be so much fun for you and your family. How is Rose doing? She is several days Post surgery now huh? Is she still quite bruised? Hopefully the whole process was not too painful for her. What do you think of the results so far?

Please send out our best regards!!!

Great pictures, Candice! Okay, here I go again....

I see a strong mother-daughter resemblance here, too!

Waiting to hear more about your dog, Steph! We know you are excited!

HOpe you got some rest!

Nice pictures, Candace. I have to admit that I would never have the guts to try that.....I'd get down the hill on my butt. Got to agree with Phyll...a definite resemblance.

You're looking great Donna. There's a big difference there in the arms and around the tummy area. Your clothes are looking baggy in the second pics. Good for you!

:Dancing_biggrin:Time to Dance!:biggrin:

WOW Candice! Yanno, if those were the first pics I'd seen of you I would never know you'd ever had a weight problem. You look like a thin chick! Even wrapped up in layers like you are in those pics.

:Dancing_biggrin:We must dance too! :biggrin:

Donna, you're looking GREAT!!! Keep up the great work. I'm sure you feel much better these days too. It just gets better and better.

Candice, it looks like a wonderful place to enjoy the outside. And your puppy is adorable. What kind is he? How old is he? He looks playful and sweet. I agree with Phyl. Your daughter looks a lot like you. She looks so happy. When is the wedding again? I forgot. As a friend says, my forgettor just keeps gettin better.

I can't find the sd card for my camera. I took it out to copy to the puter and now I'm not sure where I set it so I can't get you all any pics of ChiRho. That's one of my jobs for today. I have quite a few actually.

Tom kicked my butt again this month. And of course he had to show up when I was on vacation. It's frustrating but probably a good thing because that way I'm not able to overindulge. The problem is, when I'm super tight like that, my head convinces me I can eat garbage. And coupled with not being at home and not having "normal" food choices, it makes it really hard. I've checked my weight on the scale and I didn't gain but haven't gotten on the wii yet to check it officially. I think I'm okay though.

Going to go get breakfast for the kids and do the morning stuff. Be back soon.

Donna; You are looking great! Isn't it nice to keep a photo-journal of your progress.. and we love to see them too.

Stephanie; ChiRho is an adorable name! You didn't answer me, how is Rose?

My dogs are both Jack Russell's, they are th long legged variety and they just NEVER tire out. Its great cause it keeps DH and I on our toes and gets us outside to exercise them (us ha,ha) I am a complete sloth if left to my own devices... just stay inside and eat bonbon's.

You are so sweet, I love how you said I didn't look like I was ever an overweight chick. ha,ha,ha... Someday I'll post my worst before picture, gotta get it scanned though.

Candice,

I forgot about mom. She is doing really really good. She was so excited because there was no bruising. Now she is beginning to see some color. My sister said that her face is a really beautiful yellow. She looks great though. She'll be out here again in a few weeks and I will take pics of her then.

She said to tell all of you hello. She asked about you all and hopes you all are doing great. I kept her apprised of Phyl's trip to Cali, Candice's growing family, Linda still MIA, all of that.

I hope Janet gets back soon. I really want her to be good. Checking in would lift her spirits I think. At least I hope so.

I'll be back later. Have a great afternoon.

Hi!

My daily online session! I am getting more than aggravated as no attempt is being made to fix this problem. Time Warner is supposed to have a new system in place about the middle of next month and I htink that's why they really don't care if they make this one work or not! Not to mention, this one is out of Montana and they have no one here locally to work on it. So they'd have to fly someone down and I"m sure they're not about to do that when they're about to be replaced with a better system!

Have had Janet and family on my mind today as the funeral was this morning. We went to the viewing yesterday. She appreciates all your expressions of concern... she's getting through, but will be glad when today is over. She looked great! Got to meet her son and DIL.

Oh Phyl, I am glad thatyou were able to go to the funeral visitation. I am sure that it meant a lot to Janet.. Thanks for passing along our sympathies too.

I am sure we'll see her back on the boards soon.

I think she'll be back on within the next few days. She said she did a little "skimming" over the weekend. Her mornings have been quiet giving her some alone time. I think she'll be feeling up to dealing with all of us soon!!:biggrin::tongue2::crying:
