Ooooooooooo HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY!!!!!!

Happy Friday everyone...yeap been up since 3 a.m. DH, BIL, SIL and baby just left at 4:00 a.m. for Sodus NY to pack them up and bring them back here. 6 hours up, pack, 6 hours back all in one day. God Bless my DH because he's doing all the driving....please keep him awake and alert. In the meantime, I can't fall back to sleep so my mom and I are headed out to the craft store today to pickup a cute little tree for my desk at work. Michaels has a nice coupon for 25% off if you go between 6-9am so since I'm up I'll do it then lol. Can't imagine that store will be crazy at that time of day but, you never know. I love to shop early the day after Thanksgiving...not for stuff for me but, with friends. I love to people watch. Many times I've gone just so I could push the cart for them. I didn't buy a thing lol. I let them fight the crowds and I hold onto the cart for them. Then while we're all waiting in those long lines to check out before the "sale" cut-off time....especially when I can see people all upset because of the crowds..I mean REALLY get real like you didn't think it'd be crowded? hahaha. I love it. So while in those long long lines, taking over an hour to get to the register I start to sing...."I'll be home for Christmas...you can count on meeeeeeee" Umm you should see the looks hahahaha. OHHHH WELLSKY gotta love it lol I go out there prepared to wait, enjoying the music, sounds, people watching so it doesn't bother me I'll even freeze my butt off by not wearing a jacket so I won't sweat waiting in line lol. Gotta plan laides...gotta plan it out lol Anyway, so tons of leftovers for today. I did really good yesterday TOM helped with that for sure lol. Can't really eat much when I have it. My band gets all biotchy and finicky so I used a dessert plate as my dinner plate. It worked great! I didn't grab more than I could eat and it kept me in check. When it was dessert time I only had 3 forkfuls of my pumpkin pie and gave the rest of my slice to BIL. (He tends to eat what the rest of us don't want yet lucky for him he's thin. He's one of those lucky metabolism people.) Raining like crazy here all Thanksgiving day and still this morning. The wind blew down my 3 Kings, blew our sail boat off the stand, rain filled our pool cover to overflowing...geesh lol The local boys were playing football in the mud pools lol Pat - I hope you're feeling better. Not sure when my Tree is going up, I thought this weekend but, with the moving of the in-laws I don't think DH will be up to it. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday and if you're out there shopping today.........Get Em Girls! Sing with me....I'llllll be hommmmmmmmme for Chrisssssssssssstmassssssssss...

That information if not provided already by your doctor or bariatric center should be given to you before you leave the hospital from your surgery. I was handed a take home packet that specifically stated what I could have, how much, the dos and don'ts plus I was given samples of different Protein drinks, puddings,juices etc. If you still have questions then call your nutrionist or doc We're all nervous before our surgeries...it's only natural. Actually if you weren't the least bit nervous...I'd worry then lol. You've already picked your surgeon so you trust him and his staff....you already know this is what you wanted...so go with it and trust yourself with your decision. I know I haven't regretted it since I've had it...the week before and especially the night before I cried because I kept thinking "why can't I just lose weight on my own, why this drastic measure?". I answered....Because you've tried it all only to lose and gain back. After 3 weeks of losing you hit a plateau and give up, gain it all back plus..at least with the band you can't give up...it's going to kick ya in the pants and keep you going. THATS exactly what it's been doing for me and I LOVE IT! Good luck!

Welcome Misty and Happy Thanksgiving. I think when I first started on mushies and solids I just took very little and ate it that. Then worked up to the 3/4 of a cup they recommend. I figured I could always eat more a little later rather than eat too much at once and regret it. Believe me the first time you overfill yourself you're going to know where full is. As far as hungry vs full.....you definately will need to tune into your body. Head hunger can play terrible games with you. I actually waited quite often to feel those hunger pains before I ate because I just wasn't sure but, that was before my first fill. Now I can tell the difference. Try drinking some Water and if you don't think you're actually hungry and it will help pass some time until you actually are. Good luck and best wishes with your banding

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Eileen - Thank you for that beautiful prayer. Amen We all are truly blessed to have found LBT and our NJ thread family.

:welcomeB: KAY! HAPPY THANKSGIVING GALS!

Hello Everyone, My pumpkin pie is in the oven as I type. I also need to run and make my son's favorite chocolate pie and my mom is bring a cheesecake. Plenty of Desserts there. Turkey dinner: Wheat rolls Roasted Turkey Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Mashed Squash Sweet Potatos corn green Beans gravy I think that's more than enough lol. I'm lucky I'll get 1/4 cup mashed and 2 oz of turkey in before getting full. Tonight we had KFC and I couldn't eat more than 1/3 of a chicken breast and 1/4 cup potatos. TOM is due and making everything tight again...dang TOM lol Suppose it's kind of a good thing so I don't over due Thanksgiving or Christmas...yeap it's gonna land there too UGH. Soooo DH had to go to NY to move his Brother and family down here. They have a new apartment about 1.5 miles from our home. We'll help them the best we can to get a head start on things here. DH already hooked his brother up with his boss and his boss hired him full-time for 3-4 months. Poor DH has to drive 6 hours to NY pack it all up then drive back all within 24 hours. He's not looking forward to it but, wants to do that so he can relax the rest of the weekend. It worries me...that's alot of driving DS got an great report card. Couple B's, Couple b+s, and some A's He starts his job on Friday. Well....next week we're meeting at work to plan my move to Account Manager and the training for my 2 replacements. I've only been asking for this for over 2 months. Yeap...they promoted me 2 months ago and I haven't heard a thing. Unreal! Hopefully it will be planned out next week. Anyone start Christmas shopping yet? I started to poke around QVC and I bought a present :guess hee hee.....Dooney and Bourke was just calling my name....:paranoid :eek: Ohhhh hhhhhhhhoooney, see what you bought me for Christmas hahaha Nah I figured it's a prize I get for getting promoted hahaha Any excuse right goils? hee hee I've actually only picked up a few things so far. DH and I have been so caught up in helping BIL, SIL and baby that we haven't had time. Poor DH has put some of his weight back on too because of the stress. We'll do better after they are settled and we're going to the gym regularly and have some privacy. Country dancing was a blast again with Chrispy. I just crack up when I lose my place so I just giggy with it until I catch up hahaha. Tush pushin, blue rosen, bosa nova'in, stompin you name it we were doing it last night. My feet were pooped. A few shots of Tequila and I'll be on the dancefloor no problemo hahaha. Well, I better get going on the chocolate pie. Not sure I'll get back here tomorrow so..... Happy Thanksgiving to my LBT family. I wish you all things good and may you have plenty of family and friends surrounding you and making you smile just like you do me. God bless you all and keep you happy, safe and healthy. gobble gobble do and gobble gobble dap, I'll eat that turkey and take a nap.......

I get stuck with things that cause me to swallow more air than solid foods. Yogurt is one for me as well. I honestly think because I don't have to chew it I swallow more air. I sometimes get it with SF pudding and definately cannot eat jello. Jello has been a no go for me since day one of eating mushies. Soft ice cream is a no go for me as well. Hmmm considering it's high in cals I guess it's a good thing lol

Sounds good to me aaa and Chrispy. Thanks everyone for the congrats...gotta get through the Thanksgiving Holiday though. Thank goodness for my band lol

Hello BIDMC groupees lol. Sorry I haven't said much lately. Finding it so hard to keep up with posting, reading with work, gym, Dancing, Reiki...just a busy busy gal I guess. Plus I have house guests so it's hard to get to my computer. Rainbow - I work in Dedham and Chris is in Manfield. I bet we could work something out I'll have to talk with Chrispy on that. aaamom - That's right there chicky, I'd like to meet ya too!!!! I used to work in Norwood on Access Road until we moved to Dedham. I bet we could find a place on Route one to meet if you wanted to. I know that area pretty good...I can pick up Chrispy and head your way. Chrispy - I'm soooo ready for Tuesday again. psssssst I hit the 70 pound mark OMG. Only 8 more pounds to go for ONDERLAND. Yeap it stayed at the 70 so I'm keeping it lol Nana - so sorry you're still having trouble with your bloodwork. Keep going my friend...you'll get to bandland I know you will. Gotta go hang with the family my friends. Hugs to you all. Hope you're all doing well and shrinking!!!

Man weekends go by too fast don't they? Lets see....Friday was we just hung around. Took a late night trip to Walmart at 10:00 cause it's less crowded...bought most of my stuff for Thanksgiving. Saturday...Went to Curves to cancel that membership finally...after paying them for months and not going. Had to cancel that one to help pay for the new one, then the bank, farm stand for some fresh veggies for Turkey Day and fresh fish yummm. Then just as we're getting ready to go to the gym my BIL calls...he's cut his thumb really bad on the rotary saw and needs to go to the hospital and he's more than 30 min away from us. Since he's from NY he had no clue where a hospital was. Rush to him, get him to the hospital. Thankfully he didn't gut the bone...he's now missing about 1/4 of his thumb...doc says it's like chop meat YUCK! He goes again Monday to have it unbandaged and checked. Poor SIL broke down crying, almost passed out from the blood I had to have her sit down. She was worried because she doesn't work and things are already tight...how would they do it without him working. I told her not to worry, this week is a short week anyway and he'll be back to work. Sunday...went to Savers with mom and SIL again. Got some nice sweaters and picked one up for SIL. Treated SIL to lunch and then took her and BIL to see an apartment from one of our friends whos a realitor. They're going to move here the week after Tday. BIL has a better chance at a job here than Upstate NY. DH is thrilled cause he'll now have a fishing buddy I'm thrilled cause now I don't have to go every time lol my bad huh? I love the boat but, DH stays out there way longer than I want to. I happen to think 4 hours is enough lol. Just got done making some tasty Fish Chowder yummmmmm. If you want the recipe I'll share :grouphug: You can use any type of fish but, I like to use Haddock myself. So now I'm eating my chowder chatting with you gals and will head to the livingroom with the rest of the gang. Oh my phone isn't working since Saturday morning and the dang phone company won't come out here until Monday? What the heck is up with that? Me...if I was the one that called would of told them there is a baby in the house and I need it fixed NOW lol. Oh well...looks like Monday it is. Kat - Thanks for putting together the list :huggie: I think it will be alot of fun...ummm ifn I can get the cards out hee hee. You're right...we always seem to be online at the same time huh? hahaha Great minds think alike Darcy - Your quilt is exactly what I'd love to do but, don't want to spend the time with it lol. Make sense? It's beautiful! I can only imagine how it will look with the hand quilting work :drum: Oh Jake (puppy) seems to have stopped walking on the cover but, now he's taken to chewing the trim around the slider ohhhh lordy that dog! lol So dang cute but, man oh man...I had to get two huh? hahaha Betty - OUCHY on the hand thing. Last weekend I did that same thing but sounds like you really got yourself. I just did the tip of my finger with one of those Rachel Ray type knives from Cutco. OMG is that dang thing sharp...I love it but it scares the bageebers out of me lol. How is work going? Vegge - I wish you the best with your surgery tomorrow. You're going to do just fine and believe me I worried too before my surgery. I cried the week before and the night before until I finally said to myself....Sherry, You've tried so many things and loss but after 3 weeks the weightloss stopped then you gave up and gained it all plus back...well with the band you can't quit...you keep going until you break that plateau so what do I have to lose...other than weight? That was that I haven't regretted it at all. I'm 9 months out and 70 pounds down. (Hit the big 70 today YIPPEE). Good luck and best wishes...we're here for you. Mandy - Wow toothloss and chickenpox. She's getting it all at once aye? I hope she's feeling well and not to uncomfy with the pox. Eileen - I love air hockey :tea: Did he get a full size one like at the billards places or one for the house? I think that's great! Have you started your Tday baking? I have to start mine hmmm between work & gym not sure I'll have much time. But I wanted to show my SIL how to make cookies. She's never baked! Ohhhh she's come to the right house hee hee Cindy - Sounds like you're getting your house in order now. Will you be all set by Tday? Oh I'd love to do the tiles in my kitchen some day but, the mess I'm hearing lol Not sure I wanna do that quite yet lol. Mary, Anne, Patty, Pat, Irene, Allison - Hello girlllllllllllls Hows it going? Well time to go spend some family time wit da family...nighters folks!!!! Hope you all have a shrinking Monday

Awesome work there Darcy! I LOVE it especially the Summer Parade with the Flag Someday I"ll work on a Patriotic quilt for myself :grouphug:

Soooo peoples how goes it? I've missed you and I feel like I've been away for months lol. Man you folks can write fast lol. Hmmmm lets see...Tuesday was country dancin with Chrispy. We were cutting a rug, blue rosin, bosa novaing hee hee. I LOVVVVVVVVVVED it and nice workout Always nice when you don't realize the time but you feel it in your muscles. Wednesday was Reiki Share night and they asked me to lead...ooooo...kinda scarey for me because I tend to keep to myself what I feel or sense in people, but they say I did a good job. Spiritually I feel fantastic lately, I think this has truly helped me. Brings us to Thursday.....SIT DOWN EVERYONE...that's right....now Hold on....ready? I WENT TO THE GYM wahooooooo. Can ya beleive it lol. I had a blast...DH was helping me work on the core body machines making sure I didn't over do it. It was great working out with him and seeing his smiling face when I surprised him a few times with what I could do. hee hee one machine exercises your inner thighs and another the outer...DH couldn't do those umm it's a woman thing ifn ya know what I mean hahaha. I told him he's gonna be in trouble if I keep going :guess Anywhoooo I made it through. We're going again on Saturday but, tomorrow we're planning a walk. I'm hoping to kick in the weight loss. Gotta keep up with my homey girls here FANTASTICO Cindy and Kat! Be proud my friends, be proud! Pat - You cracked me up with the bakery storey hee hee. I love your jokes. Betty - You betcha working from home is great but, I can't do it often. Having a staff of 15 under me means I have to be there but, it's only for a little while more. Eileen - I'm sooo happy your back is better. I know all too well how much that can get you down. Sciatica really put me through a loop. Took so long to get rid of it. Glad you're doing better my friend. Dianne - I hope your stress goes away. Think positive because what we put out there boomerangs so positive things will come your way Sending you positive thoughts. Vegge - Hope you feel well soon and it's nothing too bad. Cindy - What's the count now? 19? and YOU GO GIRL on the 75...wowza Holy poundage batman! errr batwoman hee hee Congrats! Kat - You're going to get to 75 real quick. It's difficult to keep ourselves in check this time of year but, the band is there...YOU can do it! I'm trying to drop 2 more so I can hit the big 70 Seems it's taking alot longer for this last two...umm had to lose the two I gain from Lord knows where? I wish I could say I knew what I ate cause I didn't but, the dancin helped and got those 2 off now 2 more. 7 and I can join the 75 club with you and Cindy Mandy - Good luck with your Ebay items. I did it a few times but, I get kinda nervous that people won't get their things and they'll give me a hassle. I really should try it again though...there is money to be made there for sure! Darcy - ....How goes it girl? I'd love to see a picture of the quilting you working on during your seminar thingy I used to make them but, never the fancy stuff...all machine straight stitched then hand tied. Still alot of work but, ohhhh the hand sewn designs are beautiful. I need to make myself a Patriotic one hee hee. Of all the quilts I've made...I only kept one...my first one and now it's so faded I can't really use it. Well I'm sure I missed some folks and I'm sorry for that.....I can only remember as far back as "advanced" lets me lol. My bad. I love ya all and I'm very "THANKFUL" you are in my life....even if so far it's internet life....I know someday we'll meet Hugs to you all and hope you're all doing well and shrinking!!! Enjoy your Friday!

doing the bosa nova...lalalala..... step and scuff and step and cross and fall and trip and get back up. step and scuff and step and cross and fall and trip lol Just kidding! It was alot of fun! Thanks Chrispy for finding it hee hee catch up soon I promise.

First - WOWZA 22 days left Cindy? My gosh that's fantastic. What will you do with all your extra time? I'm glad everyone enjoyed the Vet picture. I just loved it and wanted to give them both a hug. Patty - I tried to send it to you as well but your email rejected the email..sorry about that. Well things are still busy busy at work. I asked my boss if I could work from home Wednesday so I could actually get something done and it's a go. Thank goodness. I'm hoping I can finish a project that I need to complete. Going country line dancin tomorrow, REiki on Wednesday night then the Gym on Thursday. Yeap we went to the Gym today to see what it was all about and to find out what we needed to do when we go. It's really nice...bunch of classes to do for free aerobics, kick boxing, jazz-cise, tai chi and of course lots of treadmills with tvs, stair masters, weight machines and free weights. This gym even has a special ladies exercise room so if you don't want to be out there with the rest of the crowd/guys you can go into that room. Cool! Anywho.....my brother-in-law and his wife and baby are back. Been here for a week and staying until after Thanksgiving. BIL is working on a friends house and for my hubby's company so it's more work offered to him than upstate NY. They are seriously considering moving here....as much as I love them I told DH that we can't afford for them to live here with us. It totally kills my budget feeding 3 more people. He understood it..plus it gets really crowded here after a while. But for now the baby is getting so big and he's adorable Plus..when he cries I give him to mommy lol. My son is going for his drivers test tomorrow.....ohhhh please think of him tomorrow mornin and send him luck He's a good boy...just got a job at Game Stop too...he's thrilled. Thanks everyone! Hope you're all doing well and shrinking! I can't seem to get rid of the 2 pounds that snuck back and I have no clue how grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ticks me off but, I won't change my ticker lol I refuse I tell ya lol

Hey Rainbow, I can't say that I've felt pressure of the food passing the band...its more like the pressure of too much food in there. Are you chewing well enough and making sure your food is moist enough? Chrispy - I'm ready to Casa Nova again hahaha. How the heck that is country dancin is beyond me but, it's fun and I'll do it. Looks like I'm in my sneakers again. Can't really find any shoes that are a little more slippery but comfy. Oh well...I'm going though. I'd like to go earlier this time so may we can learn some on our own. Oh the answer to my heartburn/acidy/sour stomach was for me to make sure I'm chew chew chewin, not drinking with my meals and not eating too much. Ummmm I think I'm doing what I'm suppose to. I think I need to track things to see if it's just my food choices or something. EH I'll get there. The dang scale went up 2 pounds from who knows where and I can't seem to get rid of it. I didn't move my ticker back because I just refuse to hahaha. I joined a gym with hubby...we went and checked it out today and we're going to go Thursday. Already I have plans for Tuesday and Wednesday but, it's things I love to do so I'm doing them. Hubby is going to the gym Wed so I'll let him break it in lol. I'm going dancin with Chrispy Tuesday and I have Reiki on Wednesday...full schedule

Hey Mary, I'm in the position without the pay raise or the office or the duties? Umm yeap I have to train my replacements and then get trained myself. My problem right now is the account manager I'm taking the place of wants me trained faster so he can go to his new job. I understand that because wouldn't I like to be in my new office already but, I can only do so much! It's just craziness. I'm very VERY stressed but, I'm holding it together....umm...so far lol. I'll be working from home tomorrow though...because as usual I got nothing done that was on MY LIST today. I had to help everyone else including my boss to fire someone today UGH. Wasn't an employee of mine but, she needed a witness there just in case. My duties have no boundries it seems Hope everyone has a great night....we're going to watch the movie CARS to relax. Hope it's funny...I can use a few good laughs with my family. HUGS chickas! Chat with ya tomorrow!

Hello everyone, I'm falling so far behind with my reading. Dance class was a alot of fun and yeap we felt it in our legs while we were there. The next day wasn't bad but we had a casualty. Mom doesn't want to learn this way. Too many dances in one night for her, she'd rather learn one a night sooo it's down to me and Chris and a maybe for Donna I thought it was fun and when I missed a step or was totally lost I just "went jiggy wit it" hahaha. I laughed and had fun and wiggled until they came to a stop spot that I could catch up on. WHO CARES was my attitude. I don't know these people so I'm gonna have fun hee hee. Soooo I signed up for a gym membership...so someone wanna line up and take the money from my wallet before they do lol. I signed myself and hubby up so we'd get each other to go. I know I have to exercise in order to get this weight off soooooooo we'll see if we make it to the gym. I've gotta do it. I say to myself....3 measily 1 hour sessions a week why can't I do that for myself? Well I'm gonna do it dang nabbit! Someone tell me I CAN'T so that I want to ok...you know like I CAN'T HAVE chocolate and I eat a pound lol. I'm hoping it works hahaha. I'm also thinking the gym will help burn off some stress from the job. It's CRAZY :faint: there right now. Two new supervisors to train, 3 replacements for them, I've suggested to my boss (umm ex boss) that she should hire another one for the department as their reports are getting way too big to handle, PLUS 3 new employees that are all still training and I'm double checking their work. AND ta boot....I'm going to need training myself. Oh yea no stress here folks :guess. I'm doing ok though..handling it ok I think lol. Hmmm maybe I'm just nuts and that's why I think it's ok? lol Bean - I had heard flights sometimes reap havoc on the band. Do you have trouble with restriction after you fly? Do you enjoy all that traveling for work? Mandy - If they school wants this report do they pay for the testing? I'm dreaming about that huh? Mary - Glad you figured out what the problem was. I hate it when stuff happens at work that I can't explain quickly. Especially when they keep telling me to delegate work and when I do the work doesn't get done and then whooooooo do they come see? Eileen - Hope you can come out and play soon. TGIF almost hee hee. What ya got cooking for the weekend? Anything special? Hows the back? Betty - How is your foot? Have you been able to ride? I still have my eye on a Ridley. DH, DS and I have an Alaskan cruise planned in July 07 but, we're thinking we may cancel because my DS is 16 just got a job will have his license and he won't want to go. NO WAY no how am I leaving him home either lol. Sooo maybe the Cruise money can go towards my Ridley heh heh Vegge - I was spoiled by my DH when I had my surgery because he took the week off with me. I do believe I would of been ok though after the first day. Just go slow like Chrispy said, when you get up and down. Welcome to the NJ thread Cindy - How is your back doing? Takes a special person to be a special teacher that's for sure. I can tell you truly care for the kids in your classes...we have had a favorite teacher in our lives and I can bet you are to some of your students Hope all is well. Patty - 90 degrees wowza. I was in that boat with my left ankle as well before my band. My entire foot used to swell and my ankle was terrible. DH used to have to massage the Fluid out of it at night for me I hope that got better for you. Good luck with all the school things you have to go through for the boys. Kat - Mulchin leaves and going to Curves...girlfriend you're getting lots of exercise. I'm proud of ya That's great! DH would love to learn country dance with me. He was hoping there would be some males in the class but there was 1 in 16. I told him he should go anyway and have fun with us gals My friend Donna said she'd get picked on by him all night so she'd go lol. We'll have to see if I can get him to go with me Another night of exercise is what I'm thinkin Darcy, Diane & Pat...Yoooo girls whats shakin? hee hee Hope all is going well. I'd say more but this advanced thing only goes so far haha. Yeap that's right I cheat and peek while I'm typing lol. Anyone hear from Anne or Donna? Ok time to get some Water down the gullet. Love you folks. Have a fantastic Friday!

Awww I only wish Bean but, thank you so much for the kind words. I don't know what I'd do without all of you. HUGS

peeking in...I have a pooper story hee hee. DH is famous for leaving a trail in stores or if he has red sauce of any type forget it. It's miserable for the rest of us in the house. Anyway...one night after shutting the tv off for the night...I felt a rumble in my tummy. Now mind you I hardly ever pass gas, fart, fluff whatever you want to call it lol. Next thing I know phhhffffffrrrrt and it was stinky. I was laughing and saying HAAAAAAAA PAYBACK to my husband. I was practically doing the cabbage patch, so proud of myself to finally pay him back then PPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! He totally blew me out of the bed. GROSSSSS! He was in hysterics because he total obliviated my work. Funny but, gross lol. Anywhooooo that was a peek at the life of Sherry's fartless world gone bad. Be back soon...tonight is country line dancin...hoping this will kick in the freaking exercise for me...ya think?

Thank you so much everyone. I was at work and didn't have my paperwork available. I wrote to Michelle to let her know whats going on so when she has time I'm sure she'll write back. I'm sure it's nothing but, I just want to make sure. I've had a wicked sour/acidy stomach for the past 2 weeks. Its off and on but, mostly at night and that drives me buggy.

Does anyone have an email contact for someone at BIDMC to be reached with questions? You know like we used to do with Angi? I'm in a cubicle at work with no privacy and I'd like to email a question. Be back tonight to write more. Thank you for your help!
