Good morning all!

Hope you don't mind I started off in this beautiful new month. Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. 9 years. Wow! Unfortunately dh is in Iraq, so I probably will not be in the greatest of moods.

Guess what? I lost a pound!!! I know it is not alot, and it might be more but I have AF, but it is a pound!!! So 16 down, 101 to go!

Hope you all have a good day!:cursing:

Hi everyone,

sorry i have been mia, have been very busy.

well, this is a little off topic, but....

for anyone actually in NJ, I have an absolutely beautiful cat that is my Moms that we need to find a home for.

Her name is Molly, she is 5 years old. declawed, neutered. very very mild mannered, timid. all white, she is just the most precious kitty.

she is a 100% indoor cat.

My mom cannot take care of her any longer, i would love to take her, but i have 2 already.

if anyone is interested, please email me at njsoldierwife@yahoo.com

thanks!

Oh oh...somebody sent the monkeys!!!!

I miss all you guys! I haven't been posting lately, as you know...mostly 'cause I can't seen to get back to basic "band rules"!

I swear, if it weren't for this band, I'd proably be 300 lbs,! I was doing fair at getting in some exercise for a while there. Time to get back on the bandwagon!

We took a little trip to Nassau the beginning of this month. Water was pretty, Hotel and staff were very nice....didn't much care for Nassau though. I really want to get back to cozumel (little island off the yucatan peninsula, mexico). Maybe I can stowaway in Pat's bag!!!!!

How're ya doin' Pat? I'm missin' my party pal sista :biggrin:

Took me a while to read through all the posts! So good to see everybody again! :biggrin:

Awww ... I hope you find a good home for Molly soon Michael! I'm sure she is beautiful and sweet and thank goodness I don't live closer because I would take her and have 3 cats and 2 dogs!

Sherry... I've started reading some of the info under the sleeve area here at LBT and it's nice to know there is an option available other than just having my band removed. Dr. Joya has a lot of positive feedback under the surgeon listings on Obesity Help but I'd certainly want to do a lot more research before making such a huge decision. I know I would feel a lot more comfortable with the sleeve than the bypass but failing as a bandster really has left me doubting myself in more ways than I ever did before surgery.

Anyhoo... right now I am trying to make little changes but my M.0. is to be gung ho... gung ho... gung ho... then... gain mo... gain mo... gain mo.

It's up to the cabin this week so I will only be able to online when I go into town to the library. Hope everyone has a really good week!

Donna... it's so good to see you back and here that you are doing so well!

TTFN

OMG, I just posted this freaking post a mile long and it's gone, oh well, errrrrr.

Diane, I'm so missing our cocktail hour.

Donna, aka, Doc, and another name too I think, glad to hear all is well. Where are you in between posts?

Sherry, Darcy, I am gonna get serious about that fit game, well in my case it would be a challenge, LOL.

Betty, Eillenie, whattttts up?

I'm so glad hubby is playing golf tomorrow, I've spent two days in a car looking at property, sooooo done! I just want to chill, get some tan and did I mention chill, LOL?

Hugs everyone.

Darcy, I'll meet ya at Pogo, LOL

Good morning all!

Well, today is the day, I get my first fill....

I am a little nervous, but so excited to start losing some more weight. this past week I did not lose again, so a little frustrated with that. Than yesterday morning i weigh naked, down 3 pounds, put my clothes on, down 1 pound, so who knows. I just wish I still had my summer outfit that I have always gotten weighed in at the dr office, it is way too cold to wear it now.

So we will see!!

Hope all is well.

I'm back from my fill!!! It was good, I was so nervous, my blood pressure went up. It is usually 110/72 and it was 138/80. But anyways, everything went really well. He put in 4 cc's. I have the larger band.

And the best part, I am down a total of 19 pounds!!!! I am so excited!!!

I am so happy I did this, best decision ever!

congrats on your first fill and your great weight loss!!!

Hello Y'all!

Well, my first day at work with my new hair cut. Everybody, and I mean everybody in the office came over to check me out. I got so many compliments! Everyone thought I look much younger and prettier. I had you look so sexy! It made me feel so special all day. I really love it!

Michaele - congrats on the W/L! That is great! Be very proud of yourself!

Pat - Hope you got your day by yourself! We all need one of those sometimes. Still waiting on those pics of your! Tapping my fingers! lol

Darcy - Did you end up getting custody of your girl? I never did hear.

I sure hope things went your way!

Well, I am bushed, work was so busy today, it made me work twice as hard for missing one dang day!

Later!

That's always how work works Betty! Every time I take a vacation I hate going back because of the backlog. That's why if I'm not going anywhere I end up working or checking emails from home. UGH.

I wanna see your haircut! I'm looking for something different and don't know what to do. I got this cut that the front is longer than the back, the back is kinda cropped but, in the end I can't stand how the front of it winds up in my face.

michaele, WTG on the weightloss! I remember my first fill, a bit of anxiety, then the fill and it was so quick and uneventful! LOL!

Betty, What a charge! to have compliments and folks "checking you out" all day!!! Post a pic :tongue2: Are you all healed from the PS? Happy with it, I'm sure!

Jessica, that's such a cute picture of you on the beach, was that at the DR?

Pat, when do you get back home?

Good Morning Gals,

Diane, I'm still in Ft Lauderdale :Dancing_biggrin:

Betty, I'm with Sherry, I want to see pictures!!!!!

Sherry, thanks for reducing the pictures, but I've not had much luck at posting them, I'll try again.

The sunrise is so beautiful each morning. We will be leaving tomorrow. We're supposed to go to Hard Rock Casino tonight, where Anna Nicole died.

you have two here Pat...do you need me to post them and number them then you can explain? Did you want me to post them here or our picture thread?

ohhh Pat I am jealous!!! stinking cold weather here in NJ is no fun especially since I dont own anything close to a coat and cant seem to find one that I like and can afford right now.

Diane - the beach pic is from the DR...wish i was there right now :-(

I'mmmmm baaack and it's cold !

Had to switch the thermostat from ac to heat, it was 82 when we left to go to Fl now it's 59, brrrr.

Sherry, how's your "condition", are you still having the same problems?

Will ck back later gals.
