AWWWW Munchkin... EXES=Asses So sorry, big big hugs!!!

Jamie...when do you start your pre-op? I remember the last supper thing. There are still days, that I wish I could eat like that again. Sometimes I really miss eating. Really miss it.

MMMMMMMMMM!!!! B & J that sounds yummy....

Dee and Mal! I will be doing the Race For The Cure too. Walking obviously, dumb knee. We are the BOOBIE BUNCH!!! We have nice T-shirts with the Booby Birds on it. Lets try to meet and have a photo op. I am walking for my mom and for the memory of my grandma! It is always fun!!!

YAY LOTZA!!!! Such a great feeling!!! I personally, never dreamed that 9 months ago I would be in an 8. I was a 20/22 on surgery day. Only 17 more to go...so close, yet so far!

By all means, drink. Try to get some Fiber in...mix some fiber powder with fruit juice. Drink, drink, drink. I think it is better to drink than to eat, you will feel 10 times better. Could you be to tight?

I am celebrating today. Even though I am up a pound...grrrrrrr....I am actually wearing a size 8 shorts. And a S/M top. Just had to share, I know that you all will be happy about it, when no else really cares.

My scale was a WW one that I paid almost $70 last year, right before I got the band. UGH!

That is so weird...any ideas where I can get an accurate reading?

I have tried 3 times...it is always the same. Is that possible???

Why does my scale say I am 49% body fat?!?! Surely that is not right... I am at 149, WTH?!?! So Mini, do your majic and let me know where I am at

I do fine with salad. Although, I have to take it slow. It seems like the more I chew the bigger it gets. Just keeps expanding.

Both Dr. K and Tom think that I pulled a stitch out of my port and ripped some muscle away with it. They said it wouldn't be erosion or a slip because I still have good restriction without refluxing or throwing up. So, I think that I will take it easy with the ab work awhile and once it is feeling better, start up slowly again. I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday and the pain is slowly disappearing. The weird thing was that it was in my back as well. I think I will try to go again on Wednesday. Hubby is good, great actually. He came home early this evening. I am shocked. But better than the hospital. He will do much better at home. Were just taking it easy and trying to keep 4 kids as calm as we can. HA!

If you girls want it, eat it. Seriously. Get the cravings out of your head so that you can move on. I am down 80 pounds and have not deprived myself once. Eat up and move on!!

I am almost 9 months out...down 76 pounds. So why does it STILL hurt to do sit ups. The pain is sharp and in my port area. Should I be worried or is this normal? url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wxW5irw/] [/url]

No cancer!

Just a drive by... Hubby has a fever (102) praying that we dont need a bag. On a plus he farted! Move over Dee...just kidding. No results yet. No loss this week. Duh. Dr K and Tom seem to think that I pulled a stitch out along with a chunk of muscle and that has caused the pain in my stomach and in my back. Hopefully all will be better soon. I am stressed to the max and am crying at every little thing. This sucks. Plain and simple.

Sorry but that is teh short scoop and that was the mass email i mailed to everyone. I am to tired to type it out again. No one needs to stop by, unless they really want to !!!

BTW each mass was the size of an orange. Ouch

Hi All~ Donavon had his surgery on Tuesday afternoon. It lasted around 3 hours. He ended up needing the big incision versus the laprascopic one. I was upset at first and realized that this had to be a blessing as they found a 2nd mass that was undetected by all of the previous tests. It was up higher and was lodged, therefore needing the incision to come out. They took out approx. 13 inches of his colon and the 2 masses. They have been sent to lab and we will know on Thursday or Friday if it is cancer or not. He is in ALOT of pain right now, and very much out of it. They will hopefully have him up and moving by tomorrow and then hopefully he can drink. He is VERY upset that he hasn't been able to drink anything! He has been allowed ice chips though. They took his bandages off and he looks like a zipper has run its way accross his stomach. He did great today (Wed) he sat up, stood up and was even without his pain meds for about 5 hours. He did need them again tonight as he was in pretty severe pain. My heart is torn, as he is wanting me there yet I have 4 kids I know that need me to. Pray for me that I can divide my time up. This weekend should be easier as there is no school. I will update more, when I know what the test results are. Please don't call him, he is having a hard time keeping up and is afraid to rest that he will "miss" something. You can call me on my cell phone and I will relay anything to him. 303.847.6105. He is at Platte Valley in Brighton if anyone wants to stop by this weekend. Brandy

Please pray for my hubby today. Surgery is at 1. They are removing at least 18 inches of his colon, the mass (that we are hoping is NOT cancer). He will be in the hospital for a week. I am a crying, scared nervous wreck. Hoping that I don't have to hear the "c" word.

I am having that stupid pain again. I did sit ups on Friday and ever since then, my port area feels bruised and so I called. It IS a possibility that it slipped (PRAY HARD LADIES). I could have gone in tomorrow, but DH is having surgery, so the soonest I could get in is Thursday am. I am doing all liquids until then. PRAY PRAY PRAY that there is no slip. I would be devestated to say the least. PRAY!!!

That is weird Mini...be careful and call your doc!

It is very do-able. I was banded 12/12 and am down 77 pounds...I am hoping to hit 100 by my bandiversary!

Thanks (Early) Jaime!! I am hoping to have lost that by a year...12/12 will be my anniversary!!
