Where is Suzie?

Good morning violets- Haydee-yes Dr L takes insurance but my consult was with a local PS and he is the one that does not take insurance. I am waiting for Dr L office to call me back to schedule a consult with him. I also am looking at Dr Cassco here locally in the Nassau Bay area. He takes insurance too. The fill I got is gonna be history today....I can not even drink water! I PBd on sugar free ice cream for goodness sake! I am calling the dr office today. I just do not consider PBing on liquid normal. I can not even ake my Chantix pill and that thing is TINY! Alot probably has to do with sinus drainage (TMI I know). I would just rather keep the amount of fill I had before and get back on the willpower wagon. Pam & Jane-loved BB last night. Chelsia made herself look like a demented little brat...I hope James is next. Laura-I am glad you are o your way to recovery. Kat-feel better soon! I better get up and head for work...my boss is just gonna love me asking him to leave again! What am I supposed to do, tube feed? lol

Pamela - BECAUSE....thats why Jane-if I could give you some of the fill I just got, I would. Sorry to hear that! I will keep my fingers crossed for a cancellation for you. Laura-Lortabs are good pain meds. I am so glad that you got a primary doctor appt made. Family drs are so nice to have! I loathe clinics. Tracy-good job so far on the water! Michelle-good for you on doing well today being a model bandster :eek: Terri-hi chickkie! HELP........I need advice........ I may have made a huge mistake getting a fill. When I was having it done I was drinking a protein shake instead of water to try out the restriction. Well, It seemed just right at the dr office. I came home and took a nap and when I woke up...it was difficult to even get water to go down. It is a little better right now. I just had some chicken soup broth with no problem. How many days should I give it to settle before I freak out? Do you all think it could just be swollen for right now or something?

The PS I had my appt with does not accept insurance!! SO, I have to find one that does...I have 2 in mind. We'll see!

Get well all violets! This is horrible to have so many of us sick. Last time we had a wave of that I was one of the sickies!! Hope you all feel better soon! I am back from my fill. They added .4 so that brings me to 2.7 . Thank goodness she got it in the first stick and it did not hurt! I hope this is my sweet spot! You would have thought I would have found it by now. I could add something else here BUT this is a PG thread and I will stop here :lightbulb: LOL (those with sick minds will know where this was going) Anyway....I had lost one pound since I was there in January. I told them that I had actually lost like 7 and gained it back since I quit smoking. She said that I am looking at it the wrong way....I have lost one pound AND quit smoking. Hmmm, she has a point. How is THAT for the bright side?:ohmy: Laura-just call a doctor you wanna go to and say "hey, are ya'll accepting new patients?"....no problem! I really hope that you find something out soon! Terri-i can believe what your sister is doing cause it sounds like something one of my sisters does to my mom. I have had to bite my tongue for years. They way I have decided to handle it is to know that one day, she will regret what she has said.:huh2: It sucks cause I want to say something but it would just make things worse right now. She will have to live with those words & actions for the rest of her life! I just tell my mom "i did not know your oldest daughter was such a mean hateful bit*h". To my mom, I make light of it and I have promised mom that I will say something to my sister about her actions after the good lord takes her (mom) from us. My mom said "would you really do that for me?" That is one promise I plan to keep!! More power to you Terri!! Kat-thanks for the shirts in advance. I really need them! Pamela-I wish I had showtime! I am loving BB too. I hope Chelsia gets the boot tonight, then that pink headed creep! I used to like both of them but they have really turned into JERKS! Have a great day everyone! I will check in later!

Laura-please take care of yoursel and let us know what is going on as soon as you can! Michelle-you are a GENIUS!! Sounds like you & I are stuck in the same rut and I ove love LOVE the idea of reading old posts!! Thank you so much for saying that. Suzie-I never did say thanks to you for saying you have faith in me. It means alot for you to have as much faith in me as your husband! lol Good morning all violets-today I go in for a small fill. Yesterday I had a horrible PB and I started to 2nd guess my fill today but I am going anyway cause most of the time I can eat way too much plus I know that mine is not just head hunger. Head hunger doesn't make your stomach growl. I hope the needle does not hurt as much this time as the last!! Pray for me! Pamela-where are you? Enjoying spring break no doubt! Jane-love the idea about 2nd place and hair products...I realy eed some Matrix Biolage Shampoo!! I love that stuff. Have a great day everyone!

God Tracy....you just made me realize that the PS I have a consult with may not even file insurance!!! Ugh, now I have to check. I am glad that you mentioned it though otherwise I may have showed up to his office for nothing if he doesn't accept insurance. Kat-I guess you still haven't heard anything from your insurance company, have you? Have a great night everyone....gotta go give Macy a bath.

Thanks Steph...you have been a huge help. I will call them tomorrow and ask them. I will let you know how it goes. Good luck with your visit Thursday!

Tracy...I will give you one boobie nanner then Pam can do the rest.....

Divide the weight loss by the starting weight and multiply the answer by 100. Ex: Starting weight = 200, pounds lost = 5 5/200 = .025 .025*100 = 2.5% I found a Q & A about this subject and this was the answer (I just did not wanna change my goal weight It already seems unattainable, why add misery?)

Laura-hang tough sista. We are all praying for you!

wooooooohooooooooo GO TRACY!!!!!!!!!!! welcome to the 18s:thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you for the 'instant rash' recipe! LOL:lol: I really hope you get a surgery date when you go in Thursday! How exciting that would be, right?!

Weight for the contest...as much as I hate to admit this...182 this morning:scared2: BUT i have nobody to blame but me. Good news is I do not want to start smoking again just to lose the weight I gained That would be a dumb move on my part since I am doing so well. I did really well with eating yesterday until the chocolate shake from DQ last night. Like I said, its my own fault. I can't use the excuse that I do not know what to do about it cause that would be a total lie. It is just doing it that I am having trouble with. Good morning violets- Laura-I hope you are better this morning! I have no clue as to what might be wrong except for maybe a stomach flu? Hope you are better. Haydee-hope you feel better today as well. Poor thing! I saw a horrific wreck yesterday on my way to work. A lady was going northbound in the southbound lanes and she clipped up to 6 cars before she actually hit head on with a truck. The truck driver was taken to the hospital with just a broken nose (he had angels with him cause that truck looked horrible) and the lady had to be life flighted to the hospital. She is still alive right now (I think). When I drove past I almost threw my guts up. It was the 2nd worst wreck that I have ever seen. The WORST one was a wreck that an old man died in and his little dog was thrown from the truck and was dead too. We got there before the police did and I never want to go through something like that again. The other car was literally in half. One peice on one side of the highway and the other peice on the other side. There were 2 older ladies in the car and how they were both alive I will never know. They had angels with them too! Anywho...everyone have a great day today! PAMELA.....who won the veto and did they use it?

how strange!! by the way...if you are right handed, eat your left hand and vice versa...:wink:

WOOOOHOOOOOO....i am getting a fill wednesday morning!

Laura- Now that you mention it....I was snacking before I quit smoking. Maybe I'll just get my mouth sewn shut? Problem solved!

Well, I guess I have my exercise in for the day then :wink: Thanks Judy, I really appreciate it!

OMG....LMAO:lol: You sound like Frank!!! (those do not need another workout:thumbup:) I like the link Judy sent me....thanks Judy!!!!

Any suggestions as to what exercise to do sitting on my as* at work? Terri-All you can really do is have everyone post their weight on the morning that the contest starts....right? I am in too. Judy and Lauras ideas are GOOD!!! Jenn-I am chewing gum. My jaws are starting to hurt...lol I am just going crazy and need to vent. Maybe I should start a blog and vent there to spare all of you!

aaarrrrrrrgggghhhhh!! all i can think of is warm CCCs (chocolate chip cookies) and cigs. I am struggling over here!!!

Liquids....ugh! The thought makes me hungry. BUT, that is the price I am having to pay for 'sinning'. I have to tell you all something...I gain ONE more pound, just ONE....and I am going to start smoking again. I have worked too hard to gain weight at this point. I am not paying for this band every month to gain weight. Yesterday was a tough day but I made it through only because I had zero cigs in the house. (thank God). I am going to call the dr today and schedule a small fill. I am hungry all of the time....even after I eat! I will keep you all posted on how I do at this. I am trying to give it a few more days cause I want to see how I do now that the Easter candy is out of the house. Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone! Sounds like everyone is having a great Easter. I am just lazing around now after hiding eggs about 50 times today for Macy...lol I am just waiting now for spongebob to be over so I can watch something on TV. DH is at work. Quiet day at my house for the most part. Terri-love the pics! Michelle-you got a basket? hmmm, someone has been a good girl! Laura-let us know what happens with the 'trashy' neighbor. Did the cops come out? Kat-how was your party today? Jenn & Michelle-tommorrow is my liquid day too. I have to do something, this is SAD!
