I could cry right now:( I am soo bummed.

I went to the gym and started my jog then all of a sudden my knee went KNUMB:( It feels like im walking on a giant watermelon. Looks like im out of commission yet again:( First i get sick then i get injured FREAKING WONDERFUL. I only got 10 min in today:(

Reggie you will have it too:) Soon too!!!

I was 223 the day of surgery so only 8 pds, but still only a week!!!

Nicole I do not mind if you eat at all!! tHank you though...i cooked dinner for the family last night...my hubby didn't want me to because he felt bad, but I wanted to, I want my family to still eat healthy!! :mad2:

Oh that's right...I don't know where I got 230 from. You should put it in your siggy so it's easier to keep track!

Alright, I'm heading out to take Soph to my friend's house and then run some errands. See ya all at 1pm!

Candi that is still a great weight loss:D

See you all soon. My tummy is a growlin:(

Nice to see everyone today!! Wish I could have visited longer but work was calling..............

Riley so nice to meet you!!

Candi that is great!! Your doing well!!

I had orientation today. I'm really pleased with it too. I've been to 2 other bariatric orientations and this one was by far the best! Dr. Fisher was there, and he'll be my surgeon. I go for my surgeon appt in 3 weeks! It seems so fast. Overall I think today went well. My boyfriend came with me and is super supportive. He's even going to do the pre-op diet so he can lose a little more weight and I don't have to cook 2 different dinners for us! I'm a little nervous about the whole thing but I'm also excited. I also got to meet Candra today! It's great to know someone is going through it all at the same time!

That is great! So glad you enjoyed yourself!!!

Now in 3 weeks try to loose 15 lbs if not more:D It is sooo do able since the beginning is water weight.. like 10lbs of it.. if not more.

If you can get down a nice number he will schedule your appt with Liz!!!! Meaning, you could be in surgery in 2 months!!!

Let us know if you need anything:D

Tina,

How did the teens react to taking them??

Hope not bad!!!

Nice seeing everyone!!! Riley it was nice meeting you:D

Nice to see everyone today!! Wish I could have visited longer but work was calling..............

Riley so nice to meet you!!

Candi that is great!! Your doing well!!

Dr Fischer was at my orientation too!! I wanted to be referred to him but than I meet Dr Baggs and he is great!! Yep once you get going it moves fast!!! I am still in shock I am banded I expected to wait until June at least. I went to orientation in Dec it was freezing cold and rainy ........seems like of was so long ago!! Fun memories of all the trips over to Richmond!!

Oh I didn't take them.........I am working on finding family instead to take them. They ran. foster care is not my first choice but it took me all day to convince my supervisor to try it my way!!! I think I will be sending them back to New Orleans to be with an aunt for a few months!! Win-win for everyone!!

Ah social work at its best!!

I am getting so tired back 2 work already in bed......... Can't stay awake!!! I am way to tired all the time!!!

Christine....My starting weight is in my signature...its the very first weight, it says starting above it and it says it on my ticker...:thumbup:

Good to see everyone today.........If it was a bar Reggie, Christine and I would have closed the joint!! LOL

Good for you Sing and Dance.......Nicoles right if you start losing right away your other appt will go so fast....I'm suprised they told you who your surgeon would be already.....I had my orientation with Dr.Im on March 3rd.....then I got an appt card in the mail for 03/11 with Dr.Baggs....when I went to that appt I asked him if he was going to be my surgeon andd he said yes as long as I wanted him!!!!!!

I agrre Tina its razy sometimes to believe that ride is over already....but a new one is starting!!!!
