Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[kity 2]

Hey Violets~

We are back and ready for this...2 cars are in the garage...and all her (and mine) crapola! We are officially co-habitating (except for the next 6 weeks as she sleeps in the barracks during the week...and then from May14-June 16 when she will be in Phoenix w/ her mom)...other than that...it is official:blush::thumbup:

We had German noodles and pork chops...repeat tonight! Gotta go, her parents are leaving now...w/ a truck load of her crapola to take to the Phoenix house! WOW

Jenn~ FEEL BETTER HONEY!

Michelle~ Follow your dd's lead. If you make a big deal of it, she will feel "weirder" than not. If it bothers her for real, not just her crying because she was embarrassed, then I would seek some help. I would bet this subtle OCD has popped up in other areas of her life. Often times, it helps students in school too! Take a deep breathe and follow her lead!

OK...off to eat cake!

Colorado- Welcome and I will add my support for "I wish I had done this sooner". I Love my band and you will too. One other thing I would recommend is hanging out here as much as you can. These girls have gotten me thru more than they will ever know.

We went to a retirement party today and believe it or not but I didn't eat anything. Hubby said with me not eating and him not smoking we just don't know what to do with ourselves yet. LOL.

I'm one for having wallpaper in my house in a few rooms. I don't really like to hang it, but I enjoy taking it down. Did my in-laws house after they passed away. I did a few other houses also. I just seem to enjoy it.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

WOOHOO Pam! Isn't marriage legal in Cali for gay couples? I just read some story in my cultural studies class about a lesbian couple getting married (legally) in San..Diego?

I was 237lb last night. Emberassed to admit it. ARGH!! Since I was -99lb I stalled, then I finally got to -101.. now I'm bouncing between 234-237lb. SIGH. Glad I scheduled a fill next week!!! Very discouraged right now. I can't stop here, I want to see what I look like in the 100's... haven't been in the 100's since elementary school.

Went to Cato's tonight and got some new shirts, then went to JC Penney and got some Barely There slimming tanktops. So tired of looking frumpy!

i had to work tonight and feel like i got my ass kicked. i ate 1 small chicken tender and feel like death and it took 45 mins to get down, can only drink with a straw, gulping was choking me. and the pain is still horrible.

kat- i did feel horrible i messed up. note to all, I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON AND NEED coffee TO FUNCTION... there is my official warning for may. LOL

night all - going to crawl up to bed

I just checked and the fill place is in Farmington Mo, which is a very odd place I think. There is nothing there, so I am surprised to find that. It is about 2 or 3 hours away. It is $349 for a fill.

I wish this was easier!! I guess that what happens when I go to a Dr. that doesn't have a big practice....

Thank Laura~

No, marrage is not legal in Cali...I wish. It is only legal in Mass now. You can have a civil union...but not a marriage. To me it is kinda tomato/tomato (not quite the same typing tomato/tomato as it is saying it, lol). I thank God for her and am blessed to have her in my life.

xoxoxoxoxo

Tracy and Janie~ Wanna know what I know??? Who is nom'd and who got Veto?!:thumbup:

[Kat817 19]

Is that through a Fill Center USA? If it is, the first visit is $349 including the fill, then each fill or adjustment is like $165, and a visit with the Dr. is $85 without a fill. I understand the first visit includes all the history, and junk----but only the first visit is that expensive. Then if you are new they do offer a yearly package.

They contract with Dr.'s willing to do followup care but that do not do the surgery itself.

I spent a loooooot of time on the phone with a patient coordinator with Fill Centers USA the last couple of days!!!!

Some of the centers are in more obscure places, since they simply want Dr.'s or radiologists and Dr.'s who do not actually do the surgery, but will follow up ANY patient, not dependent upon where the surgery was done.

I had a Dr. call me as well as a Supervisor, both offering helpful ideas....they seemed anxious to help me, especially considering I had not been a patient prior to the call for help.

I was impressed by the girl I spoke with off and on all day.

We had a shootout between gang members and cops at our Chilis Restaurant!!! And my son and DIL, and DD and SIL were all there having dinner---the cops involved sat behind them, and one of the cops was playing with his flashlight beam on the floor with my grandson!

They left, went to Home Depot, son went in---grabbed what he needed, and DIL and Connor stayed in the truck, then when they drove back by there were cops, and ambulances, and all kinds of chaos!!!

SCARY!!!!!

Suzanne, I like your Bewitched thingie too!!! You may have to fly both colors!!! LOL

Laura----I STAY frumpy! Nothing fits right----it sucks!

Well I am off to bed.......

See you tomorrow!!

Good evening, Violets..

I'm headed to bed too. Have to be up early to get ready for church an hour away. Then home and back to the wallpaper stripping. Actually it's going pretty smoothly. I kinda like doing it too, Suzie! Pretty sad when that's my big thrill of the day! lol

I'm really excited about church and for the first time, I'm looking forward to being someplace new and I'm figuring out what I'm going to wear. The choice is not between basic black and black, but between a closet full of clothes in sizes I only dreamed about a year ago!! Life is good in bandland.

Everyone have a good night. sleep well!!

We went out for ribs for lunch and I ate the meat from 2 bones and a few onion petals and up it came. I'm just not taking small enough bites, I guess. You'd think after almost a year I'd learn!!

Y'know those little ice cream sample spoons? The teeny tiny ones that hold about 1/4 of a tsp?? I read a newbie on here wondering where she could get some...that's what her doctor recommended she use for a guide on how big her bites should be!!! Uh....ok. I think I better go back to LapBand School!!! Actually, I do pretty well in general...but meat is sooooo tricky!! It's a crap shoot every time.

I torched and pounded metal most of the day. I also took a nap...which I rarely do. That's it. Totally not a productive day in any real sense. :thumbup: And now I'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. Sad.

Nite-nite!!

[Teachlady 3]

Good morning, Violets.

I see you all sleeping there!! We're up early for church. Got my outfit all ready.. yellow sweater with white tee shirt underneath, khaki skirt and brown suede high heel boots. Soooooooooo much better than basic black in plus sizes!! Just let Jetta out and my Crystal Light is in the freezer. Off to curl my hair and put make up on and then I just might be ready!! Everyone have a great day. Relax, enjoy and make wise choices! I'll check back later this afternoon when I take a break from stripping wallpaper.

Terry.... I use a baby spoon here at home for most meals. I'd be too self conscious taking the little blue rubber dipped spoon out in public. But maybe the pink one..... hmmmmmmmm

[TracyK 3]

Good morning everyone!

Kat-macy ended up staying at my sisters last night...so no Horten yet!

I guess this teeny tiny fill is working...must have found the sweet spot. DH is on his way home from work so I am gonna get up and make him some Breakfast. Have a great day everyone :thumbup:

[Suziecat 379]

Good Morning.

Terri, My Doctor's office hands out eating utensils for us to use. They are child size but have adult size handles. They are actually kind of nice looking.

Not much going on in my world today. It's supposed to rain this afternoon. I've got the ham bone cooking in Water right now so I can use it to make some Ham and Beans with. I'll make some corn bread. Hope the family enjoys it.

I did bad with the ice cream last night. I had such a good food day and than ruined it last night. Thought I might go walk it off this morning but I really need to geive my ankles a rest today. 3 straight days of a mile or more walk is taking it toll.

Everyone have a great day.

Good Sun Morn, Vi's~~

Another busy running around day... off in a few to travel 1+ hr each way to ds's soccer scrimmage... so we'll leave around 10am & I think we'll be back by 3pm = 5 HOURS! His sis & I deserve medals!! Then maybe another (local) soccer practice/play day thing from 4:30-6pm... good thing the Easter bunny brought me the latest Oprah mag for Easter last week! + at tonight's soccer, I'm going to walk the track while they play... that's my new strategy... I must walk at least 30 mins at all soccer practices! Sneaky, huh??

Ok... gotta grab some b'fast & hit the road.

I'm sure dh is lounging around his hotel room... stinker!
