Hello all, I am getting ready to go to the seminar and in hopes of changing my life for ever. I have already got pre-certified from my insurance so hopefully the next 6 mo. will go by quickly. I am very nervous but excited. I am looking for new friends and experiences so talk to me and I also would like to know other peoples receipes and do's and don'ts regarding diet after the surgery. Beck:wink_smile:

Dr. Kaplan told my husband that he read some of our posts.

I guess we should watch what all we say lol...

You are were talking about having cake for your birthdays, I was 2 weeks out from my surgery to the day so I got to enjoy a couple bites of pudding for my birthday. whoo hoo.

Man, you just had to bring up coldstone. Icecream is my comfort food, of course I dont get it anymore:frown:. MMMM MMMM a cup of birthday batter icecream of coldstone would be good about now....MAybe Ill just go to the freezer and get a thing of weight watchers ice cream:tongue2:

Hey guys, this site is not the easiest to utilize. Well, Three weeks and I can start Zumba with you guys. Um, Kar said I need to get on here and talk more because I need support. LOL. Well all is good so far. Kinda doing my own diet until Jeannie gives me my blood work results tomorrow. My instruction for this week was to drink unsweet tea or half and half. Can we say yuck. I just quit tea altogether and am drinking tons of water. I have to say its not bad. I like water. No, pop or anything just water. I cut back on my calories. I am getting a little hungry towards bed.. At work is not to bad because I am busy. Evenings are a little harder that is why I am hopeing to start dance soon and zumba. Three nights a week I will be busy with that. Ok, well let me know if any of you are going to do dance too.

Mmmmm I haven't had icecream for a long time...and the last time I had cake was my birthday back in august.

Have you tried Crystal Light? It gives you a little variety. 5 calories per 8 oz. I LOVE tea and was raised on tea with sweat n low so that wasnt too hard for me, now I will admit, every now and then I just need a sweet tea. I have also been drinking a new drink that I have found, I dont know if it is all that new or not it is new to me. It is Low Calorie Snapple Kiwi Pear. only 10 calories for the bottle and 1 gram of sugar, its not too bad.

Mmmm crystal light.

Nice to see you back on here Bek (blynndass) :eek: Let me know how your appt goes today.

Well I got my Upper GI, and just as I told them ,nothing was blocked I just have Reflux. We are going to try changing my meds from taking 2 nexium a day to taking 1 Protonix a day. Hopefully that works.

Sorry I didnt make it to line dancing last night. I thought I posted it but I dont see my post....After doing the Upper GI, I thought it would be best to stay home. That Barium does bad things to me, if ya know what I mean. I will definitly keep going to Zumba. Well I better get ready for school, I dont wanna go lol. I was supposed to think of a topic to write a process essay on today and I havent thought of anything yet. oops.

Elizabeth

I was reading your post about you thought you had posted it, and I'm like ya I thought I read it, its hiding at the bottom of the previous page, sort of easy to over look.

WB Bek,.....Kar is good at motivating LOL she got me so excited about Zumba I was thinking Parkersbusg was off I-79 and was planning on coming this Monday on our way back from Mo Town. Unfortunately, now that I've looked at a map its pretty doubtful. Hopefully I'll get up there sometome.

Elizabeth - No problem. I am at linedance every week on Wed & Thurs. I will be there if you decide to come. I dont miss class...I love it! Its great exercise and my stress reliever!

Saundra - Thanks! :eek:

Good Morning Ladies! :confused:

There is NO Zumba class this coming Monday 10/13/08 It is a Federal Holiday....so Debbie takes off on those days.

Classes will resume the following Monday.

Well that stinks. I had talked a friend into going with us Monday. Maybe we will go walking in the park instead.

Good Morning Ladies!

That's disappointing!! I was really looking forward to it. Hopefully I will make the following Monday. I'm flying back in from Arizona that day. If my plane's on time, I'll be there.

Elizabeth- How are you feeling today?

:confused: I know!!!! It bites!!! I am going to have to dig out a tape to make up for the exercise loss for Monday.

But.....at least it will be back on next Monday. Hopefully you can make it Kyla. Elizabeth - have your friend come to the next one.

Appointment was good. I lost 4 pounds. I will be at Zumba Monday night with you guys. I really don't know anything else. Just playing the waiting game like everyone else. The good thing to this is I have got some structure thanks to Jeannie. :-) I haven't seen the nutrionist yet but she helped me change a few things to adjust to the new lifestyle I am taking on. All is good so far.
