Good Foggy Morning Beanie, can't you call the insurance company and just threaten them that they will hear from your lawyer. Tell them the date is set and if they don't give you that approval # your lawyer will get in touch with them. Tell them this is screwing up your time with your employer as well. Talk to the manager's manager. Not the first person you talk to. I really don't want to see you selling cupcakes LOLOL !! If there's another house to rebuild, I'm sorry chicklet but you'll be on your own. I'm to old and tired to ever do that again lol. Betty, thanks You know, I don't even know how long I'm suposed to be on liquids and what I should buy. Guess I better start looking this stuff up and get prepared, 3 weeks goes fast....actually 20 days LORDY LORDY LORDY !!!! Did I mention how scared I am LOLOL !!!! Nothing much happening today, SOSDD. Work is pretty much a bore but its a paycheck so I shouldn't complain. Whats everyone doing today ?

WOWEEE KIM !!! You've done a wonderful job and let me just say you are a beautiful woman... VERY VERY PRETTY !!!! I haven't been banded yet so I can't answer your question, sorry. Thanks for coming here and showing us your amazing accomplishments !! WHOOHOOO!!! YOU ROCK !!!

Thank you !! What do you mean get my liquids in ? you mean practice LOL

Edna, I was so nervous when I went to my surgeon so I know exactly how you feel. They say I have 85 lbs to lose but its more like 95 - 100. 85 lbs puts me at the high range of the weight scale. Hang in there and just know that God is with you. HUGS !!!

EXCITING !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you !!!!!!

Betty, thank you !! DH and I built that home with our own two hands, no contractors. It took us 3 1/2 years just to get it in movable condition and then another 7 1/2 years to finish it. I had no closets for 6 of those years LOL !!! We also did the landscaping once we cleared the property with a bulldozer. The house that was sitting on the property when we bought it was rotted to the ground so we had to tare it down and build up from the foundation. I'm very proud of what we did I'd love to go bike riding, every time I see some one on a motorcycle I'm like aaaaaah. The only reason I wouldn't have one here is b/c of the road rage. Maybe one day if I move to the country I'll get one. Beanie, better homes and garden couldn't hold a candle to me... if you want some one that can put ups siding, dry wall, plumbing, flooring, french drains, cement work, painting and all that icky stuff... CALL ME !!! (well don't really call me b/c my back is broken from all that LOLOL). The only thing I didn't touch was the electrical work... DH did that. WELL !!!!!!!!! I submitted my medical leave of absense to my boss !!! he didn't ask what I was going out for which made my life easier I'm taking off anywhere from 4 - 6 weeks I am getting so nervous

Hey Alex, we went to Masker's Orchard, its in Warwick. Its not to far from me, maybe 40 minutes, if that. Do a search on the web for closer places. The NJ site is pretty good. We might go pumpkin picking this Sunday, gotta see what DH wants to do.

Good Job !! Enjoy the ride down

I got so worked up before my consultation with the doctor that I was eating like a pig, I mean a P-I-G !! get this crap... I lost weight. Must have been my nerves. Now I'm 3 weeks from surgery and I'm still a basket case. I bet I packed on 10 lbs already. Wish I could help you but I can't even help myself.

They just want to make sure you do not have an eating disorder (at least thats what my doc told me).

Thanks Margo, your a sweetheart

Where did everyone go ? Party didnt' even begin ROFL !!!

She had to hug every apple she picked LOL

This is DD and DH apple picking ooops let me resize that WOWEE lol

Good Morning, How is everyone this foggy monday morning. I promised pictures and here they are. This is my house, it looks cool in the dark with all the pumpkins a glowing..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK !! Hope you had a wonderful day :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Me too, I love diet soda. Thats one thing I'm going to miss..THE FIZZZZZZ. Could be worse ya know... they could say NO CHOCOLATE FOREVER !!!! lol

24th for meeeeeeeeeeee !!! Egads !!

One thing I try to tell myself is food will always be here on earth, I will not. Tell your self you'll have it some other time as treat. Is there any way you could eat b/4 going to these massive food orgies? Maybe with a full belly things won't look so tempting. I know its hard b/c I work for a pharmaceutical company and you talk about food every where. Every stinkin meeting there is donuts and Cookies....WTF??? This year after I'm banded, I'm going to refuse to go to any "gatherings" this year. If my boss gets pissed, oh well, than thats going to be his problem. Good luck !!!!

valentines day

I am scheduled for surgery on the 24 and I am worried too. I've been coughing my head off for 2 weeks now, I mean coughing like every 10 seconds non stop. My chest burns from it. I went to the doctor friday and got some antibiotics and nasal spray. I'm worried b/c I feel like my lungs are taking a beating right now.

Anyone wanna join in please do. It would be nice Hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day Some one at this site, whom shall remain nameless told me to go out and have a big ol greasy cheeseburger today (since I'm seeing the surgeon tomorrow LOL), anotherwords, get it while I can lol. I didn't, I had a big ol fattening salad today and a baked tater (of course it has butter & sour cream on it, you nuts?). I'm so full I think I'm done eating for the day lol. I took DD to the Turtleback Zoo today. MAN, I never realize that, that zoo was all hills, I mean HILLS !!! My 4 year old was like "WHOLEY FISH PASTE MOM" lol. I told DH that next year this time, he's gonna have a hard time keeping up with me. Dispite the hills, this fattie did pretty darn good What did you all do today? How are the diets going along and exercise? is everyone shakin their booty? Chime in, lets chat.

ON THE FLOOR !!! I wouldn't be able to get up the next day LOLOL !!! ohh but then Mel could do unmentionable things to me now couldn't he Road trip, like Cheech & Chong (((all my friends like the low rider)))

Hello !! I tried to get in here this morning but there must have been something wrong with the site. Beanie hopefully the car won't cost to much. Payments do suck. What? you don't like sweetpotatoes. Well if you do, trust me you'll like them in a burrito. Oh BTW, I'm not practicing either. Alexra WHOLEY CRAP BATMAN !!! 90 BIG FAT FREAKIN POUNDS !! THats awesome, really awesome. I'm very happy for you. *BRAVO* I still have a really bad cold. My cough is so bad that I feel like I popped a kidney. And I dread that this will postpone my surgery in 3 weeks. I went to the doctor yesterday for some better antibiotics and some nose spray. I'm coughing so incrediably hard every few seconds I just feel like I'm hurting my lungs.. I would rather postpone the surgery than to take a chance but we'll see what the doctor says. Lets see, today we went apple picking (((tomorrow apple pies, oh yeah))) up at Maskers Orchards. THen I took a nap after that I decorated the outside with halloweenie stuff, gosh it looks cute. I'll try to get a picture and post it. Did the dreaded food shopping but didn't get to clean the house... any volunteers? Tomorrow is church and a birthday party. Whats happening with you all ? Beanie, when do you go to CA ?

Good Luck Ladies !!! You'll be in my prayers
