Wow Nicolie and Tamra- you go girls. Both of you are rocking it. You'll both be banded before you know it.

I was down another .5 today so that is 3.5 since Saturday. I had a protein shake for breakfast and I have 1/3 cup tuna and 2 of the Wasa crackers for lunch and then another protein shake for an afternoon snack.

Mo I canceled my gym membership I couldn't afford it anymore :thumbup:

I decided maybe I WONT go back to Kaiser tomorrow, TOM just surprised me!! I checked and my scale said 256 wtf!? 6 lbs since this morning? I am thinking I am starting to bloat...I think Monday morning, whatcha guys think?

Tamra-No problem on the gym...You have your treadmill now, right??? We can always call each other and make sure we get on and off at the same time...I have been using mine pretty regularly.

What's next...Help me out ya'll...This is what I remember....

After you meet the pre-surgery weight requirement...They schedule you for the case manager appt-with Liz...., they schedule you for the psycologist appt...Both are very easy and you will do fine at both. They will also schedule you for a pre-surgery class. They schedule you for lab work and an EKG.....This is all I can recall...Recently banded...Jes and Candra and anyone who remembers???? Chime in...

Food-

Breakfast-Coffee with sugar and non-dairy creamer

3 slices of turkey and 1 string cheese

Lunch-1/2 cup Chicken Noodle Soup

So far....and yes, I am feeling lots of restriction.

Mama-ash-I live in Pittsburg and work in Antioch. Sorry I took so long to reply...I just saw your post.

Tamra-PM me your phone number.

Thanks Mo! I already did the psych/blood work appointment so thats helpful! So I wonder how long after I call will they make my appointment with Liz?

Heres my food today, I am in a very bad snacking mood:

Breakfast - 1 Venti Decaf Skinny Latte

Lunch - Chicken Ceaser Salad no croutons from Panera

Snack - 1 small bag of pork rinds (I know, not that great but zero carbs and I was in the mood for salt)

Dinner - will be a shake

Candra and Tamra- Congrats!!! Can you say lookin' HOT in your Summer clothes! I am so happy for you both. As I remember when I hit goal they scheduled me with Liz then Liz scheduled my surgery appt and lab work..it's that quick.

Pam- you got me down for Sat the 16 I'll be there..just still not sure what I'll be bringing. What do you need so far?

Hey Mo your job hiring? LOL

Tamra-unfortunately not...I'll keep you in mind though....

oops I meant Nicole and Candra

Tamra you lookin fro a job too....

Anyone know who is hiring? I do Admin work. I need a job very soon as my EDD will run out very soon. I just applied fro an EA at UC Davis but imagine they had a lot of applicants.

nope you ment Tamra and Nicole LOL

Maria - I have been on EDD since October, I have about 3 months left, but you know there are 2 extentions right? So when it first runs out, you can extend twice. I am an exective admin assistant. I have a feeling I will end up at Starbucks or something retail ;( I want to go back to school but I don't know if my EDD will last long enough!!!
