So glad to hear you are back and doing well. Sorry to hear about the breathing problems and the dry mouth. That isnt fun. Let me know if you need anything. Keep us posted girl!!! <<<HUGS>>> Angie

I would love to do Breakfast. Is there an IHOP near you? I could do it but it takes about an hour for me to get up there so gotta make sure I leave in plenty of time. Good Job Melissa! I am happy the weight is moving for you again. I am trying to eat good but did have two cheetos this evening. :confused: I am not happy with myself but back on it tomorrow. I am having plenty of restriction and got kind of choked on an egg this morning. I have to make sure I really chew. I never had this problem, even in the beginning. So this is totally new and different to me. Kim, Congrats on the new job girly! I am happy for you. You will be able to keep us up to speed on all the Lap Band stuff. That is awesome. And yes I think you will be watched even closer now that you are working for him. You are his poster child now! :confused: Dianne, How are you doing? Hope you are feeling well from your surgery. Kathy, How are you? You know we have known each other for almost a year now? You were the first one I talked too on this board. You rock!! Your bandaversary will be here soon. Drawing a blank and cant think of others names. I am sorry. I just had this major brain fart and think I need to get off of this computer right now. lol I hate it when this happens. hehehe Sorry to all I can't remember. Hope all is going well with you... Sorry! lol jeepers. TTYL!!! Angie

Congrats Jennifer!!!! I am so happy to hear you are ok and doing well. I knew our DR. B would do wonders for you. He is so awesome!!! Keep us updated on your weight loss journey and hope to see you at our next meeting. Angie

Oh yeah a shaved head is very sexy. And then add some stuble on the face. WOOT! :confused: I can't wait for next week. I think the guys are going to take it this year. Angie

I'm here! I'm here! My fill is doing great for me. I have lost five pounds so far. I was at 179 the day of my fill and now I am 174. I am eating like I should be. The other day the girls got happy meals from McD's and I snuck a french fry and it got stuck. I thought I was going to die!!! I didnt pb or anything but it was stuck and I swear I will not eat another one. I dont care how good they taste. That hurt!!! My middle girl opened up her chocolate milk and said here mommy this should wash it down. lol I took a sip and it did it took it away. For the past couple of days I am really watching how much protein and water I am taking in. I had gotten away from that. So I am back into it. I want to try and be in the 160's by the time I see Dianne again. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Angie

Oh Yeah Chris is my Favorite!! He is a hottie for sure. I feel in love with him when he sang Bon Jovi... Oh yeah and he made me moist! :couch2: LOL Angie

Ok, Easter Sunday is on the 16th of April... Plus kids will be on Spring Break and not sure I will be in town. So the 8th looks like the only real time I can do it in April. Let me know what you all come up with. Thanks, Angie

We can change it I am sure. I dont mind at all. We will miss March all together anyways so why not make it anytime in April? When is Easter Sunday? I would like to know that.. I wouldnt want to do anything that weekend because I am always slammed with getting the Easter Bunny ready to come. I will check on that and get back to you all. Angie

Cool, I sure will Jen. We love to get new people in the group. Check out the NC thread and you can see pics of us and all. Angie

That sounds great! I hope you get it by then but two months will go by fast. Congrats. Keep us posted. Angie

Good Luck tomorrow! You will do fine. I know it. Dr. B. is wonderful and really takes great care of his patients. Tell him I said hey! :mad: Angie

Awesome news! I am so glad she is doing good. Keep on truckin' girl, you are going to do great. Hope you get to feeling better soon. If you need to talk give me a call. Angie

Man, I look bad! lol I pulled my hair back and put on that hat because I wasnt feeling getting all perty'd up. :rolleyes Oh well, Next month I will be all pretty and ready to go. Get this I woke up this morning got on the scale and it said 173.0... I am so happy. It is starting to move again. WOOT! Angie

Denika, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She will be in my prayers and I hope everything goes well with her. Keep us updated on how she is. I had a great time yesterday as well. Thank you all for having Soup with me I so appreciate it. :confused: Can't wait until the 1st of April. My chest isnt burning as bad today, so lets hope it just goes away and I keep my 2 cc's. :cake: That would rule. I will be done with my liquid stage and on to the mushies. I am down to 174.2 today! I love it. :cake: Angie

Yes we are!! We are going to meet April 1st at TGIF up in Concord. Let me know if you would like to attend. We have a good time. Angie

Alright, My first fill since I had the surgery. I am nervous and anxious and can't wait to get it done. Will I be able to drive afterwards? So I can go by myself right? Just general questions. Let me know. Gotta go now. Angie

Nice. I am happy to hear of your appointment!!! I know you are excited. Angie

I think I feel a difference. I couldnt feel it tighten up at all when he did it. I was like you are done? He said Yep! So yeah it was EASY! Three days on liquids though. lol Thats going to be hard. I dont see how I made those two weeks. Angie

I dunno? Not sure? hmm... We can figure that out tomorrow. All I know is that I am drinking boost right now. lol Oh I forgot to tell you. Dr. B put in 2cc's in my band. He said I was wide open and was in need of one. And I got it. Angie

I am so ready for my soup tomorrow. So we are meeting at 11 right? That sounds good to me. And we are going to Ruby's on Arrowood? I can't wait to see you all. Maybe I will look different since I got my fill! j/k Angie

Ah, That was EASY! It was fun too! I had two good lookin' men standin' by me... hehe. Dr. B. and his helper. They were fun too. The helper dude was like... You had to have lapband? I said I love you already! But it was very easy and I could feel the pressure from the needle and it was cool. And I got to watch. I didnt have to pay!!! But they did send me over to Patient services because they thought I had too but my insurance is so good I didnt have too. WOOT!!! I am on liquids. Drinking my boost as we speak and went to the grocery store and got all the other fun liquidy stuff. So I am set for my six days of no eating. I will do fine. Hopefully I can lose some weight now. It has been on a stand still and has been driving me insane!!! Thanks for checking up on me girls. Angie

hehe I know. I am a worrier when it is new. And then like you said I will be on here oh hell that was easy! Thanks Kathy. I am a goofy woman I know. hehe Angie

Of course I would! All of you ladies are eating soup with me... We can do it for you! Angie

Ok that is the goal, to have you banded by the time we meet next month. Go Girl!!! You can do it. Get them people jumping and tell them you need it like NOW!!! ASAP!!!! Your Life Depends on it! Good luck and many prayers coming your way. Angie

How much liquid or Protein shake could you drink? DId you do the 1oz thing or were you able to drink a full Protein Shake? I am so hungry right now it is killing me. Nothing is satisfying me at all and it worries me. I dont think chicken salad is bad for mushie stage. I think I had it then as well? How much or if any have you lost since your fill? Angie
