I'm getting excited too Ginny. I was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it! I am riding with Leatha, so as long as she's coming I am too! :banana

Congrats and welcome to bandland!

Blossom - Welcome back! I am glad you had an easy time of it. I had a catheter too, and it was my best friend. Take it easy and don't over do even if you feel pretty good. You need to heal up girl! Keep us posted on your progress.

Whoooooo Hooooooo Teresa! I want a black one, the fuzzy kind if they have it, but I'll settle for anything! Decide how much you need and let me know, I will send you the money right away so you aren't out of pocket! Love you gal!

Kelly - I got banded the day before you. I am still on liquids until tomorrow. I am sick of soup too, but it is important to do as your doctor tells you, which everyone has a different set of rules. I also got to add a scrambled egg in last week. Starting tomorrow, I get to add some chicken, tuna, and fish. Maybe you are adding stuff in too fast? I also have to stick with 1/2 cup servings with a three cup limit for the day. Did your doctor tell you what you should be eating? Like I said each doctor has their own rules. Next week I will get to go to some normal foods. If you continue to have these pains, I would try to stick with the liquids for a while, or call your doctor and ask his advice. Good Luck

Teresa, I have never learned to crochet from a pattern, my Mom just taught me several ways to do an afgan. If you decide to make some and sell one, I would be really interested.

Great post Ryan!

Good Luck! We'll see you in Bandland!

I ask my doctor about this before surgery, and he said it was hormones. It grows back, in fact most of the ladies said they felt the new groweth coming in as the old was falling out.

Welcome to bandland, sorry your journey to get here was so rough!

Very cute Penni! That quote at the bottom of the page is the one I use to have on my WW thread.

I haven't got the slightest idea what we are going to do this weekend. I made a pot of homemade potato soupd for supper and it tasted so good! I am getting tired of canned soup etc.

NSV means non scale victory. It is anything that doesn't have to do with scales, such as something fitting, someone gives you a compliment, etc.

I don't blame you, i would too if I lost all restriction. But you are doing great right now! I did the treadmill for 30 minutes.

Whooo Hoooo Blossom! Today is your big day! Please post when you are able and let us know how you are.

Great Job Lisa! :banana :banana :banana The rate you are losing, you don't need a port!

I did a ton of researching before I decided to have the surgery. I still learn things everyday from this board. I can't imagine just jumping in and having the surgery done without knowing everything you can about it. Thanks for posting this Leatha!

Congratulations! Once your testing is over things should move pretty fast. Browse the past post and learn all you can while you are waiting.

Darcy - That's beautiful! You are very talented! I need to get my crocheting back out again. I have been working on an afgan for a loooooong time, I have it the size of a king size bed top now, just want to make it a little bigger so it will hand down the sides. I never have time to do it though. I love homemade quilts! You rock girl!

Welcome to the board! You will find lots of support and information here. Please browse through some of the old posts for loads of information.

Whoooooo Hooooooo! I am excited for you! Good things do come to those who wait! You will be in bandland before you know it! :banana :banana

Whooooo Hoooooo Becky! Look out world here she comes! :banana :banana You are doing great!

I had surgery here is Dallas, I went to Dr. Provost. The cost with everything was a little over $18,000. If you go let them know right away you would be a self pay, you will get in sooner. Good Luck!

My sweet Marie - Please don't think for one moment that someone will change the way they feel about you just because of your hearing. I don't think there is a person in this world that is perfect. Everyone has some kind of problem, even if it doesn't always show. You have always been special to me because of the big open heart you have. You have always been there to encourage me, compliment me, yell at me, or just to be my friend. That is what I know about you and that is why I care about you when I haven't even met you. It is very rare to find a person that truely cares enough to take a stranger under their wings like you have. I feel truely blessed that I have gotten to know you. I know that it must make you feel better to let everyone know, but it doesn't make any difference to me at all, and never will. They are coming out with some new things for hearing, and it would be great if someday you would be able to hear better for your self, but it wouldn't change the way I feel about our friendship ever. {{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}

It only takes one person, no matter who, to get another one motivated. So, if you do your exercise, regardless of what it is, post it and it will motivate someone else to move it too! MOVE IT AND LOSE IT :banana :banana :banana
