Yeah, out of work and time to party for the weekend! They were letting us off work at 2 today so I called to see if they could get me in for a mammogram and they said they would fit me in at 1:15 so I left work at noon and got it all done. It was the first time since I moved to Texas that it didn't hurt. I had a wonderful gal that did it and I was done in no time at all. Now that one is behind me! Usually they tell me on the spot if it was clear but couldn't as the guy was not available to read right then. I said now, if everything just comes back all right I will be happy, and she said I am sure it will. So, I think it must have looked fine. I always get that worried crap in my head and don't relax until I get that letter saying so. Pat - I am not sure what all is being done as the neighbor said she would bring most of the stuff. I think I am going to put a big pot of cowboy Beans on, and make a broccoli salad, maybe a crab salad, tossing up a pea salad or macaroni salad. I don't have to worry about the meat they said so one less thing. I think I might make a strawberry dessert that has pudding in it. I also might do up these potatoes that I make that everyone likes. I probably won't decide until tomorrow, lol. I was going to come home and get it all done, then decided just to wait until in the morning and it will be fresher. I think I am going to just jump on a plane and come to your house though, it sounds really good!

Thanks Trish for starting the thread. I guess I would be still posting in June if you hadn't. lol You are doing great! 22 pounds! I'm still getting ready for the 4th, too much to do and not enough time for all of it. I still have to work tomorrow until 2 but that's better than nothing. I have done most of the shopping so tomorrow I will make up some salads so they will have time to get all mixed together. Friday I will finish up the house cleaning and then maybe I can rest some. Pat - I think he should do the implants too since you told him ahead of time exactly what you wanted. I would talk to him again and let him know how you feel. Well, got to get my supper going, I am really running late this week and eating way to late and I hate going to bed with food sitting on my stomach. Later friends!

Good Morning Y'all! Diane - Sorry you feel so yucky! Stay in bed and get well! I like the smaller weddings, it's so much more personal and stress is not as crazy! I am so glad it is a short week, although I feel like I have worked a month straight! I am really tired this morning, and I need to get my arse in the shower and wake up! Only two more days to get through! Then it's work at home, but that's not so bad since I don't have to get dressed up to do it. lol Well going to get off here and get ready for the day. Later!

Hi Y'all! Well, I peeked in this morning but nobody was here so I just went to work. My ride was wonderful yesterday. I don't know why, but it just felt really free riding all alone. lol I was definately more aware of my surroundings! I think I let my dh worry about a bunch of that when he is leading, but when it's just me, I really pay attention. I got the deck all stained after work yesterday, but was so dang tired I just wanted to go to bed! that was a lot of work to do after working for 8 hours! I still had to come in and fix some supper too. Tonight I took it easy! lol I stopped at the store and came home and cooked a simple supper and that was it. Jessica - what is the count down now????? Donna - Glad things are going good for you. Diane - Wedding bells? Does that mean you are gearing up for a big wedding? Pat - Glad you enjoyed your night on the boat. Did you take everything you needed? Sherry - How is the reflux going? Did you try liquids? Well, I know I probably missed someone, but I am beat and I am going to get the kitchen cleaned up and go to bed. I have tons to do this week to get ready for the party on Friday. Catch you later!

Good Morning Y'all! Today is ride your bike to work day, so i am leaving a little bit early so I can ride. Anyone else riding today?

Welcome to LBT and congrats on your surgery date! there is a lot of information on here just for taking the time to read it all!

Congrats to you and welcome to bandland!

Until you get to the proper restriction, it is really tough. You need to tell your doctor you don't have much restriction and need a fill. It took me 6 fills to hit the proper restriction for me, while others get it in one. Hang in there and see what happens.

Good Morning Y'all! I am going to try this again. I reported to Alex that I was having problems so maybe it won't happen again. Pat - Glad you got your AC fixed! It is miserable when something like that happens. Did you go to the doctor? What did he say? Diane - It has been 100 here too, but in my back yard with the pool, it is about 20 degrees cooler. We spent most of the day out there yesterday. Donna - I use EAS 100% whey Protein. It has 23g of protein in it, only 1g sugar, and 120 calories. I have both vanilla and chocolate. I use vanilla and add fresh fruit with milk and it's really yummy. I also use the chocolate and make it like chocolate milk or add Peanut Butter or banana to it and it's good too. I have gotten several band buddies using it and they also like it. I got mine at costco, but I think they sell it most places. I think they make it pre made too, but I like to do my own. Kat - Are you all healed up now? Sherry - Boy, sounds like you are having all kinds of problems. Stay on the meds for a while, and maybe do 24 hours of liquids to heal up a little before eating solids again. Eileen - Glad you found a new fur baby! He is very cute! How was the fire works? It rained here last night, and it's headed our way today again. We need it so I won't complain. Going to post this before I lose it again.

I have just lost 2 posts! I just want to scream!

Good Morning Y'all! TGIF! If finally got here! Donna - We must have been posting at the same time, glad you are doing so good. Each day gets better! My neighbor ask me yesterday if we were going to be home on the 4th, and I said yes, so she said good, let's have a party at your house. lol So, I guess we will be having guests after all on the 4th. We were planning on inviting them anyway one day over that weekend, but now I won't have to do all the cooking! Well, got to run and get dressed. Hello to all you beautiful gals! Catch you all later!

Good Morning Y'all! We had storms pop up last night, no damage but got some badly needed rain. It has been so hot that we could use some every day for a week. Any body got plans for the 4th yet? I might have a BBQ but that is about it for now. Donna - Hope you are doing ok, thinking about you girl! Well, that is all the news for me today! Catch you all later!

Good Morning Y'all! Donna - Wishing you luck today, and welcome to bandland! Let us know how you are doing when you can. Not much new here today, just getting dressed for work. I'll catch you all later!

Pat you better email me some of those pictures. I am the only one here that uses the computer so you are safe. I was wanting a wii too, but it just has to wait for now.

Good Morning Y'all! I'm tired this morning and don't want to even move to get dressed. lol I have to take my car in this morning and see if we can get it fixed. We have been trying to get the check engine light off so I can get it inspected and we have spent so much money doing everything they tell us each time. Enough already, I am taking it to Chevy this morning and see what they tell me. I took off work a half hour early last night thinking I could get it in for a quick diagnosis but even though they say they don't close till 6 and I got there at 5, there wasn't anyone there to check it. So back this morning and late to work. I hate taking off work, but I have to get this done. Diane - No, I only had company for the evening. I am supposed to be getting some over the 4th from out of town for the week, but I don't think they are going to make it as I haven't heard anything more. I am so ready for a long weekend. Pat - They had an article about making frozen martini pop with olives in the paper this morning, it made me think about you! lol Sherry - I used to feel like my legs were bowed after riding on dh bike, it took me a while to walk after getting off there. One more reason to ride your own. Trish - It sounds like you are doing great! You will even feel better once you start eating again. Mushie, good for you! Donna - It won't be long now! Keep busy so you won't get worried. Just remember we are all there with you, and waiting to see how things go. Make sure to let us know when you can. Kat - Just come and use my pool! I'll share with you! Well, got to get dressed and get to the dealer. He said he would take me as soon as they open up so I can get to work. Later!

Liquids in, liquids out! Once you get to solids you should be better.

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on your surgery date. Don't worry, you'll go through lots of different emotions between now and your date!

I drink water right up to the time I eat. You shouldn't have a problem drinking until your meal comes.

I ate a few things I thought I would never be able to eat again. I don't have a problem eating most things though so I wouldn't have had to do that. I would suggest if you want something that you won't be able to eat a lot of, have a hamburger or something with bread. Bread is something hard to eat after banding. Good Luck with your surgery, and let us know how things went for you.

You really need to contact your doctor asap! Better to be safe than sorry.

I want to wish you luck! I wish I could have hand my surgery when I was younger. If you have a weight problem and can't lose it at 15, it's not going to get any easier as you get older. I say go for it if you have the chance. We have a Canada thread here, if you post for a doctor on it I am sure you will get a lot more response to a good doctor. Good Luck and let us know what you decide.

I guess I didn't read all the posts and posted from the previous page! lol Pat - Put an unwrapped bar of soap in you sheets, under your legs. It is supposed to really work for that. I don't know why, but lots of folks swear by it and won't go to bed without one in there.

Hello Y'all! Gosh it's good to see everyone posting! I love it. I was so upset, I typed a bunch and then the whole thing was gone. I hate it when it does that!:ohmy: Eileen - I miss Beanie's posts too, I haven't hear anything from her at all. I wonder if she is alright? I do keep in touch with Cindy so she is fine, just busy. Pat - You lost me with a RLS pill, what is that? I am both riding and floating! We went up to Harley yesterday and then came home and jumped in the pool. It was so hot and I was miserable. I was glad to see the pool when we got home. I went inside Harley to cool off, then I couldn't find the old man when I came back outside. I walked the place three times, then went back inside and went upstairs and then back out again. Still couldn't find him so I just left and came home. He wasn't far behind me though about 5 minutes. lol Donna - You are almost there I bet you are excited huh? Sherry - That was a funny story. I have heard things like that happen other people too. That's great you rode to work! Once you get back on, it is much easier to keep on riding. Have you checked to see if you might have a hiatal hernia? I had one and they fixed it during surgery. Since you had heartburn before banding, I though maybe you might have one. I hope you start feeling better soon. I know the vest you are talking about, we have one like it too. Kat - You sound too busy! You need to share some of that work with others! Diane - I'm glad the boss can see some of what his wife is doing. NOW, you need to let it be known that it is causing you to think about leaving and going somewhere else. I can't remember what else I read, and it won't let me go back again. It is hot here today 98, I have already been in the pool and back in the house. I made a few salads up and I'm going to have some chicken with it. I don't plan on cooking much today. I am getting some company soon and if that isn't good enough for them, then they can go eat somewhere else. lol Well, going to get off here and see what else I need to do before the company arrives. Oh yeah, they are selling the house across the steet from us, anyone interested??????? Later!

Just lost my whole post and don't have time to do another one now. later!

We usually get a lot of these when the kids get out of school. It is best to just ignore them.
