Gone4Now

Over this past weekend, I experienced more pain than I've ever felt. Turns out it was gall stones. (Now thinking back, I think I attibuted a couple attacks of my gall stones to the band.) Now I'm up for surgery in the next couple weeks and I'm nervous about it. I knew that the chances are higher with rapid weight loss. Perhaps I should have had more water! It's been 5 months since the surgery (in Sept) and I'm wondering if anyone else has had gall bladder attacks and/or stones?

I haven't come across a thread like this...maybe I'm wrong. Born from my facebook Movie List note, I realized I watch way too many movies...and I'd like to know what ya'll think of movies that you've seen. Recently I saw "He's Just Not That Into You" and I hated it. Not all of it, but most of it...I liked the uptight wife who threw the mirror and then cleaned it up. But overall the movie was really not what I expected. I expected it to follow the premise of the book, and I thought it'd be more of a chick-bonding flick than a sappy love story (or a few of 'em). The stories depicted proved the "exceptions" rather than "rule", which is what the book tried so hard to convey. I also expected more from the Drew Barrymore character - I like her in movies and she fell flat in this one. Thoughts? Movies?

Hi, TAP!!!! :frown: Had a great weekend in Dallas w/Lu & KC. Great times... For the foodies: We tried a bunch of the fried stuff. Mainly we would take a bite and then toss. Fried butter - YUCK. They should rename it to fried Petroleum Jelly. Fried Cookie Dough - Oh, WOW...so good. But, I have a sweet tooth and could have sucked the whole thing down. Fried Oreo - eh. Fried Peanut Butter cup macaroon - ick. Worse than the butter, IMO. All in all - I had more fun taking pictures of the fried food signs than actually eating it. Back to the grind today, sipping on coffee and Water and trying to be good...and not think of cookie dough. Up 4 pounds - and I'm surprised my ring still fits.

Okay, so...maybe if I start this, I'll be accountable to post in it. <big grin> Today, I needed to loosen up a little bit and went for a very short walk. Today: Day 1 of Week 3 - again. Week 3 seems to be the point where I just lose motivation and then stop all together. I also want to drink more Water. I realized last night, that I didn't have water all day yesterday. So, that is goal #2 for Sept. More water. Okay, Lulu and Ceradad....What marathons have you run, or mountains you climbed yesterday after lunch, but before doing 3 hours of spinning????? :frown:

I just picture hot pink leg warmers, bright purple body suits and polk-a-dot head bands.

That completely describes what I was going to say!! Ebony, it's been so cool to watch you shrink away before our eyes! Um, though, when you're done it's my turn... Love the A-Team...they're making it a movie! I can't wait!! They laid my boss off last week and I have another 2 weeks to go before the move to the new location. So, I've been helping others in the group pack - so I have been coming in late and wearing jeans. Still nervous about lay-offs and job security, but not like before. HAPPY WEDNESDAY ALL. :scared2: Missed ya!

Yes! I know...Now I get what my mom was saying when she said she hoped I'd have one just like me!

She is being a "pre-teen" at the school's 7th grade football game. I have to leave soon to go get her. She's not doing so hot in math...and I'm horrible at it, so can't help her! But, her grades in other things are great, so I'm hoping we can just get through this "bump". But, that sassy tone comes out w/her, too... like nails on a chalk board!

All right, Slim! Yeah, your Tuesday is almost over, right...since you go to bed at lunchtime? I can't wait for the weekend - going up to Dallas to meet Lu and KC!!! Dallas will never be the same. How's my future SIL doing?

I think Heartfire had a great idea! Hi, everyone. So...PJTP - It's Tuesday, huh? Wow...time flies. I had this weird dream that I was gone for, like, a week something. Wow. Shaking that off... How's everyone else doing?

Hey ya'll... Happy Tuesday.

I can revive, too...you just beat the hell out of the chest area, right? Until they wake up and yell "get off!" That's how I'm used to doing it...

Wow, Brandy! :biggrin:

Oh, man...I remember Tuaca. ...or do I?

Just sit there and look pretty, cupcake... *wink wink!

Ha! I'm stuck now, cuz I have to stay in the dress size I bought. :biggrin: Don't know if that's good or bad.

Did we friggen switch? I'm drinking milk! (Had a little wine earlier, but just with dinner.) wth?

Ha...just like every other day! LOL :biggrin:

will we remember?

What happens in Dallas.....isn't my fault.

Well...if it's tonight and I'm documenting...you're gonna see a lot more of Bevo than you see on FB.... Okay, still - I'm the one taping. I'm no where near "camera ready" yet. :biggrin:

Maybe it's the wine talking... but I see in my future nekkid pillow fights. Anyone else feeling it?

Makes me want to take that girl home w/me!!!! :biggrin:

*cough...cough...ahem....*

I totally second that! :biggrin: She's a classier broad than me!
