Ok now for my house...LOVE my washer and dryer!!!!! Laundry is a breeze if that was ever possible. I took today off to hang out with my sister and the baby, visit my grandparents you know that kind of stuff WELL we were doing great until @ 9:30 Curtis comes to me and says cover up mommy. He wanted to lay on the couch and for me cover him up. He felt a little warm nothing to bad though. So my sister comes over @ 11 to pick us up...he is a zombie. He hasn't eaten anything today and has drank about the same. So off to the doctor we go....he has ANOTHER ear infection and he has the flu. Well that is what they are thinking. He is running a fever of 101 - 102 (Melissa bring back fond memories) and all he is doing is sleeping. Poor kid..he is just pitaful. So much for a day off uh...guess I will be keeping him tomorrow if we have a rough night. So hope everyone is doing well otherwise and I will chat later Oh yeah Happy Tuesday everyone. Whats left of it anyway.

Kept the portion size down which helped.

How you doing Angie? I am doing laundry...Oh my I was excited about doing it today but my husband has found stuff that I didn't even know he had anymore that needs washed. Enough is enough.... We have family in town so we spent a good bite of time with them. Started to get my kitchen organized better....less clutter. So Mike said I can use it more. I guess I need to mess it back up so I don't have to start cooking alot. haha Hope everyone had a great saturday....I am off on Monday and Tuesday so I am really looking forward to the long weekend for me.

Saturday....Like I said weekends are my hardest.. B - egg and 3 baby bites of saug from a bisc. None of the bread though L - 2 applesauce Cookies made w/ splenda (My MIL made them) D - 5 pcs of fried okra - stewed apples - 3 bites of mashed pot. We have family in from out of town and for dinner they didn't have much to choose from. Tomorrow should be just as good we have 2 dinners to go to.

I really am...even if I have my kisses or something. I promise the only thing I am not putting on here is what I drink. I can't keep w/ everything.

Denika we will miss you but totally understand. Hope the party goes well...We can't wait to meet you next month either. It's alot of fun. Ok we are getting up there. As of right now Kami is coming....I will keep reminding her. So we are: Karen; Dianne +1; Starr; Kathy; Melissa: Angie; Kami & Kim is that right so far...Jamie maybe. Sherry this is alot closer for you if you can make it....it's only 2 exits past concord mills.

Dianne are you getting enough protien in? Seems like you could a little low on that....lets count it.... Well ok the PS should have alot. Instead of a banana try a tbls of Peanut Butter...just a thought. I don't want you crabby on us girl. I am telling you I can finally tell a difference @ 2.5. Two wasn't bad for me... Melissa I am being good about posting not about what I am eating...maybe this will change....

So glad to hear things went well. I am sure you scared a little when yours was delayed because of complications from the one before you. YIKKES. Get some rest and you will be back to normal in no time. Melissa - nothing will be done to my port right now. It's just tilted he can still get the fills know that he knows where the port is. If it moves again I will go back under fluro. If it's flips totally over it will be a simply little same day thing of him going in and flipping it back over. Sounds likd you had fun on your trip...but now you need to get some rest also. Happy Friday...Oh my washer and dryer are coming tomorrow!!! I am so excited!!!!! Hope everyone has a great fun filled weekend and relaxing at the same time.

It does help if you are accountable for what we eat...altough we can't be great everyday...lets just aim for most of them. Friday 1/13/05 B - yogurt S - s/f applesauce L - french onion soup (no bread) and @ 5 bites of mashed pot D -

Thanks this is great....I am going to post it on the fridge tonight...

Ok this was a dup posting so here are some smiley faces for you.. :rose: :clap2: :rose: :rose: :Banane34: :rose: :rose:

Angie should be out now....Hope all went well. (girl hug is what it said) My port is tilted a little. Got my fill done today under fluro. Back up to 2.5..hopefully this will the magic #. Ok Dianne he did tell me 2 days liquid - 2 days mushie and then back to normal. I am going to have to go back to some what normal on Sunday we are having dinners at a friends house and I can't ask them to change the menu just for me. Lets hope she has some good veggies. So hope everyone has a very happy Thursday...I am only working a 1.2 day and I am excited about that. Melissa did you make it home ok?

Thursday 1/12/05 B - nothing had fluro done and couldn't eat til afterwards S - Liptons cup of Soup L - tortilla soup D - egg drop soup 2 choc kisses melted in mouth before they went down. Sorry it's getting closer to you know what. liquids just had a fill

Wed 1/11/06 B - chicken from chick fila biscuit L - taco bake (all low fat/fat free items my sister made) D - 1 cup of hamburger helper Boy wasn't I just the model bandster yesterday. Oh well tomorrow is a new day.

With what Kathy was saying. He will collect your $200.00 and she is right you will have to come back. He only does fills under fluro at the hospital which I think will cost you another 200 or 250 up front. How much are tickets to MX now? You could really get it done cheapier down there. I don't want you to get your heart broken again...you have been through so much. I would maybe call Dr. B's nurse and talk to her about before you go. Your time and money are important to you and Iwould hate for you to have to drive all this way for nothing. But on the other hand...I live in Concord and if you come we could arrange a quick lunch or something...we could probably get a few of the others to meet us. Hang in there girl...we are here to help you anyway we can.

Angie... you are in my prayers tonight. If there is anything you need call someone. You should have most of our numbers.

Fill is where the Dr puts saline into your band to make it smaller making your fill up faster when eating and stay full longer. An unfill is just that..the Dr taking some of the saline out because you are too tight. Everyone is so different one person can handle lets a 2.0cc fill while another has a horrible time with it. You know your too tight when you can't get anything down but liquid. Not good..you should be able to eat. For me Dr. V and I talk about whether or not I think I need a fill. He gives me signs to look for and ask what I am eating and how long it's keeping me full. I haven't really had to deal with anything - it's life as normal for me. Well eatting less and eating better. Making better choices and feeling GREAT. I don't "Throw Up" with the band it's more like a PB (productive burp) meaning the food you just tried eat doesn't settle and it comes back up. So you aren't throwing up because it hasn't actually reached your stomach. To prepare - Have alot of protien items in your house...good liquid protien start testing before surgery so you will know what you like. The liquid diet was probably the worest but was very easy to get through. I think I have answered most of your questions...I will be the first to say though that everyone is different and your experience may be completely different then mine. I wish you the best of luck...and read up..there is so much to know aout the band. You have to work with it to make is successfull for you. You can't sit and eat pizza and french fries all the time and expect to loose the weight...don't get me wrong that would be nice.haha Anyway I love my band and I would put up a big fight if someone wanted to take it from me.

I don't know that is a tough one....I LOVE TBL...actually have the workout DVD coming to the house. Have been to France and I would love to go back. No help here... I did have a cousin on Extreme Makeover and to ask her the questions she said she would do the show all over again. She even left her baby when he was just 9 months old for 6 weeks. She is MUCH more outgoing now and her whole personality has changed for the better.

Girl you are looking GREAT....Hang in there band or no band you have the will to do it. You still inspire so many of us! I use to be that 315 pounder with you girl...NO MORE!
