Sharks, (I live in NY what are the chances I will meet up with one?) Beans (Yep, can't eat em, can't look at em and can't touch em) I was cooking the chili one night at the haunted house we have a concession stand there-and the owners mom asked me to stir the chilli...well i did and she didn't tell me that there were beans in it....one got on me and MAN I FLIPPED OUT! the owner came running over like I got burned or something horriable...nope...just a bean

Hey...I consider this to be a NSV picture because I would have never had the "hootspa" to take a picture like this ever before. Some of you may find it a bit toooo much, but in my opinion you dont see more here than you would at a beach.

I just wanted to post a picture here and Im trying to figure out how to do it

Welp, I forgot to weigh in this morning, duh. I did it after I got dressed and ate..so the weight was up to 217. I dunno which to believe...but I go to Dr Kwon tomorrow so we will see what that weigh in has got to say..Im learning more at work and thats helping the days go by quicker.....I still dont like working, but hey, gotta do it~~~~ Okay, my mother set up some sort of cooking schedule where by its my "turn" to cook dinner again. I dont know how that happened...

Well today was a good day. Its almost over. I did accomplish a few good things for myself. I had a shake for breakfast and lunch....I got out of the office for lunch today....came home...not so much ya can do with 1/2 hour. But over all, I am feeling better today than I have in a while. I weighed myself today. They had a segment on Good Day NY where this Fitness expert said to wake up and weigh yourself everyday and that should help keep you "true" to your diet goals better than weighing in once a week. Sooo Todays weigh in was 211.5 pounds. I sorta got away from my weigh ins and maybe that was one of the things that contributed to my passay efforts...We will start up this weigh in every day thing and see how it works... I dunno how accurate my scale is...but if it is, that means a weight loss of 61 pounds~ holy shit......I can't believe it~~~ I will compare these numbers to the numbers I get at Dr Kwons on thursday. I did do one bad thing today...I ate bread. No pain involved but carb content alone. Well, if thats the only bad thing, then accept it and move on.....could have done a lot worse. :heh:

Overnight....reaction to the anestetic...

Well today was a better day. I actually got out of the house for an hour, and walked down to the store. The best part is the store is at the bottem of a steep hill!!! And I walked it. I am going to try and do that occassionally. My stomach hurts. I dont know if I pulled a muscle the other day, I was doing crunches..or if my band is choking the hell out of me. I go back to see Dr Kwon on thursday I will discuss it with him then. Im very sleepy tonight........And its 1140 pm...I need sleep~~~:notagree

Howdee, I Had My Band With Dr Kwon And I Absolutely Love The Man~ He Is A Caring Individual And A Very Talented Surgeon. Very Pleased With Him And Everyone In The Office

EWE I COULD USE A HOT ITALAIN RIGHT BOUT NOW TOO!!! eeeewe now there is some inspiration!~~ Okay, well its 10:30 at night...way too late for me to exercise now...so I will see what I can do about some exercise tomorrow .. Its supose to ice and snow and blah blah blah, but maybe i can do one of my exercise videos that I have just sitting here.... Keri your baby sounds absolutely adorable!!! My son wouldn't push me up the step at all...he would jump on my back for a piggy back ride~~~

Wow, thanks guys. Its "nice" to know I am not in the boat alone...Humm what inspires me, what inspires me......Happy Boots, Halloween, Shopping for nice clothes, not having pain in feet/legs/knees/back any more, longer life with my son, ~Italy~ Maybe thats the reward, right there...I can not go to Italy until I learn the language enough to survive there and until I loose my weight.........hummmm theres an idea....I "ONLY" have about 50 pounds to go.......If I lose 2 pounds a week, it will take me 25 weeks to loose that 50 pounds. However, its going to take me two years to save enough money for the trip... sooo maybe the reward will be learn the language, loose the weight and maintain the weight loss till a certain date, after I save the money for the trip.....hey, that maybe a plan~~~~ Sooo I can go to Italy, lookin all sexy in the Happy Boots~~~well, I all ready look sexy in the happy boots.....:thankyou:

EWE IM CRANKY TODAY! I dunno why, PMS perhaps, I dunno but I am ugly today~~ I just wanna eat today and thats making me feel worse~ i am feeling NO restriction today. I gotta go to the doctor on Thursday and he will more than likely want to fill me....but Im scared of that~ I just got to a point where EVERYTHING isn't getting stuck. Ah just tooo much to think about right now. We will see what happens when I get there :mad:

I finished my first week of work....It went pretty good. I dunno if I will ever get the hang of it, but it will come. I dont like change too much. Thats what these last few months have been about though, change. I gotta get on some sort of exercise program. I know thats whats going to make the difference for me. I have slowed down so much on weight loss that I dont know if I will meet my goals within a year. I dunno. We will see. I gotta get back on some tract. I know with work, I have been on more of a routine and thats always good... :mad:

Cheri~ All I gotta say girl is be careful what ya wish for ~ it aint easy being me~:eek: You will get there too 16 is an awesome accomplishment and I am very proud of it, but it was like what, six-seven months for me to get there...Give yourself time and stick to it....You will get there...and as far as Italy is concerned, thats a LOOOOONG RANGE goal!! hehehehe I wanna get there within two years~ QueenBee...thanks for your condolences...they were good people. I was about 60 miles away from the city that day not feeling an ounce of saftey, but surely safer than some people were that day....They are missed~ The job is actually pretty cool! I am going to be trainned on several different lines of business...which is good cause I took like 4-5 calls today and was on the phones for 7 hours!!! Its nice because I am still technically in trainning.....but I need more stimulation than that!!! I was able to do some mail orders too, so that wasn't toooo bad. We will be handeling the account for Triangle Magazines...Its an "alternative" lifestyle magazine with several different publications like Out Magazine, and a few others I cant remember the names to....The Advocate is another....I heard them quite often today as I just sat there listening to the other BUSY reps around me.... Wish I would have been busy~ One day I guess, one day...shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth~

Hey guys...I want to share with you all TWO AWESOME THINGS that happened to me today....First off...I GOTTA JOB I GOTTA JOB I GOTTA JOB~~ Wahoooo. I start on Monday with trainning...Friday I have to go in for orientation though...go over some benefit stuff. I will be working on an inbound customer service phone line. The pay is better than I was anticipating, soooo all is good there....and then!!! Because the jobs dress code, corp casual, I had to go do some shopping.....I needed new clothes...I just bought pants FOUR FREEKIN SIZES smaller than usual!!! Is there no wonder that all my clothes are falling off my butt!!! FOUR SIZES SMALLER WAAAAHOOOO And today, someone even hit my car while it was parked on a side street, in a legal parking spot....someone swiped my car, scuffed up the bumper, and kept going and ya know what...I DONT CARE.....FOUR SIZES SMALLER waaahooo :faint: TALK TO YOU ALL LATER

LIBERTY sorry i missed support group the other night. i got tons going on and just cant seem to get out of the house, or anywhere that i should be on time....you know the drill!!! one of these days i will end up there. i miss going. Dana...GOOD LUCK to on your journey~~~~

Hey there QueenBee....... Nope, unfortunately we wont be co-workers. I am working on an account for Marvel Comics. I asked if I could dress up like Wonder Woman and take calls, but that didn't go over too good....sorta was told to wait till Halloween for that That would be sweet though if we could have been co workers~ The last time I worked at a call center it was for Empire BlueCross BlueShield. We had just moved our corporate head quarters to the World Trade Center in NYC. I had to call people there all the time...our Fraud and Abuse center was there....Once the World Trade Center wasn't there any more, the displaced workers that survived had to be farmed out to other locations. We got I think 30 workers from the Trade Center. We lost 9 employees. Its going to be weird working in a call center again. Im looking forward to it though. I haven't worked in 7 months.....I haven't worked full time in ohhh SIX years!!!

AHHH I found your post, I have been looking for this one for an hour because I think I found something that may be helpful for you, if you haven't found it all ready http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9822&highlight=plateaus Check out that thread.....theres a diet plan in there.... PHEW...Good luck to you

I need some advise, and pretty quick. I didn't know where else to go to get some advise, and well, right now I dont want to listen to my family....Okay...in a nut shell.....my husband and I are sepereated. I have the papers on my desk to serve him to go to court for custody of our son. Nothing has been officially worked out as far as visitation goes. He has been paying me support faithfully every week. However, god, I can't believe I am going to post my family stuff out here for everyone, but here goes.......my husband is an alcoholic.... He drank himself stupid a few weeks back and ended up in the hospital for a week. Since his release with some meds and some counseling lined up, I have been supervising visitation with our son. Now he wants our son over the weekend. I dunno...Im scared.....but I dont think at this point I can tell him no...legally...........I dunno, cause the situation was a bit deeper than him just drinking himself stupid.....I wont go into all the details. If I ask our son if he wants to go I know he will say no. When I supervised visitation at my husbands place our son spent most of his time there playing with me or in his bedroom. I saw really no interation between the two of them. I dunno maybe its different when Im not around, but that night our son asked to go home, to where we live now~ he didn't want to be at daddys. I am sooo confused......I know its important for them to spend time together....I dont want to keep either from each other...I want to do the right thing.....I am a pitbull when it comes to my kid....and some people say I am over protective....I dont believe in such a thing an "over protective" parent. Better safe than sorry right??? Soo what do I do here??? I think things are safe...but Im scared.... Okay...thanks for listening~ TTYL

eheheheh glad you like the poo idea....muahahaha stick with me, ill getcha in trouble with the rest of the family OR at the very least arrested!!! eeewe wouldn't it be a great experience to get the whole family in on the poo adventure. hubbie can carry the poo, you can light the bag of poo and the little ones can bring the Toilet paper to throw thru her trees~ muahahahahahahaha oh that would be the ultimate revenge. tell the little ones that gramma wants to cover her trees for the winter...they are cold ehehehehehe IM KIDDING... I would never do that~~ I might shrink wrap her entire car so she couldn't get in it, but I would never poo her door step....eheheheheh oh Im kidding......I wouldn't get my kid in on it too...or would I :evil:
