I'm the same way, I'm usually up until past 2. I arrive at 10 to the sleep study on the 17th, I'm not sure when they'll expect me to go to sleep, although the day I have my sleep study I have school 11-3 an hour away, I drive straight to the doctors to get my letter of medical necessity from my PCP, then I drive straight to work where I am a waitress and contantly running around. I have to leave work early and drive straight to the hospital which is an hour from my town where I work and live. So hopefully I'm so beat from running around all day I just pass out. good luck with everything!! Let me know if you hear any good ideas to keep us occupied if we can't sleep or help us actually GET to sleep lol Allison

Hang in there amsderb!!! Ugh I just ate a huge block of cheddar cheese. SO delicious. I'm craving candy now. I want like, sour patch watermelons. If only it was a little earlier, I would probably go out and get some. Today I was looking in the mirror and my face is getting sooooo chubby!!! I need to stop this. ALTHOUGH at my nutrition consult today I weighed 221? I haden't eaten ALL day though so maybe that had something to do with it. I just want my band already!!!! Ugh, at least I have all of you to complain to hahaha. Allison

hey everyone! Since I am only about 5'1 or 5'2 (all the doctors keep telling me one or the other) An "ideal" weight would be around 125 according to all the charts and such, but I think I would be happy with anything under about 140 in the long run. Although at this point if I lost 20 - 25 pounds and got under 200 for the first time since probably about 9th grade I think I would really feel better about myself :redface:

congratulations!!!! I have BCBS of Mass and my surgeon said they are really quick so I'm hoping everything goes well! congrats again!

Hahaha oh man, I used to love david a. but now I would love to see him get punched in the face. I dunno he's just getting annoying and making excuses, but I don't HATE him like I HATE KRISTY!!!!!!!! I can't believe we have to deal with her another week. I know she was decent on tuesday but that was the first time ever! I don't think they should have country singers on Idol. Didn't they have a country idol or something? go on that Kristy! I miss michael! I would have liked to see either carly or syesha go I can't believe hes gone! lol my thoughts are all over the place, I'm gonna check out the youtube link right now...

lol its ok I'm 5 everyday :redface:

Aww! I have 2 bichons, ralphie is 3 and chloe is 4. I love them so much! So much work though!!! I need to get them groomed soon lol. They are getting a little ( ok a lot ) mangey lol.

Alright nothing to do with WLS, but sfeiner is that a bichon is your picture??

Since when did watching American Idol mean going to church? This song they are singing right now is ridiculous. If this has anything to do with Idol gives back, since when do you need to be a religious person to "give back." They should just be focusing on all they have accomplished...

It was pretty easy, I was there for about an hour. The lady was really nice and we just talked about what I normally eat and what foods I should try to eat/avoid with the lapband. I'm so excited to get all this finally going! :redface:

I had my nutritionist consult today!!!! Nothing too exciting, she just talked about the food and such that I should eat or avoid eating with the lap band. So one down and 100000 more to go :redface: Its starting to feel more and more real!

Alright someone needs to drag me away from this thread... lol. Hahaha Rob Schnieder "I though Bono had enough money to solve all the problems in Africa, but apparently he only had half" Oh Rob Schnieder

Come to the May 2008 threads and introduce yourselves! Everyone there is really excited and there is always a lot going on! :thumbup:

Yeah in the Banded Celebrities thread someone said that she had to have it removed. Ugh everytime they show these clips of all these kids I start tearing up again! :thumbup:

Yeah I'm watching too. She lost her band? I thought she still had it.

Heart is on Idol gives back! Doesn't Ann have a lap-band? And HAHA I was just talking about Bono before I knew he was actually going to be ON Idol.... I'm good hahahaha

Sue, if I remember correctly you were banded by the Glasgows? I am currently undergoing all the pre-op stuff with them. I was wondering what type of band they would be using on me. Do you know if it is the 10cc or the 14cc?? Thanks for all the help, sorry to jump in on this thread lol.

Thanks! Yeah it really does feel SO MUCH better now that I told her. I don't plan on telling that many people, the only one whose opinion I really care about is my mom. I'm really excited! I have my appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow. I actually have to call them now and give them some more info. :thumbup:

Ahhh hahaha oh jeeze I totally forgot about that whole stupid thing. He's confusing himself with another pompous, I'm the next Jesus Christ celebrity asshole who fronts U2... hahahha

OH wow I really wish I didn't click on that, I'm gonna be sad all day now. Thats awful. :thumbup:

I pretty much agree with all you have to say! I HATE Kristy, I want her OFF!!!! But she did do pretty good, I hate country music too so I'm probably a little biased, I had never heard the song she sang and I probably never will lol, but it definately finally suited her. All the people who are normally the "good ones" sucked last night! I used to love Brooke but with every episode she gets harder and harder to watch. She is starting to look like she is choking when she sings, its getting painful! I loved her but I think America is over her. Carly was awful, I thought she was gonna jump out of the screen and start ripping my eyes out or something, scary!! lol. I actually really liked Michael Johns. I've always though he was hot but have been kinda, whatever, about his singing. Maybe its just cause I love that song but I think he totally pulled it off. Jason was great, I'm sick of David A. David C. was a joke last night. I felt like I was at a really bad christian rock concert or something lol. Syesha was good but I've always hated that song, I think its kinda cheesy and just a spin off of the song they wrote for Kelly Clarkson when she won, check out the lyrics they are like, the same.... All I know is that now I have no idea whose gonna win and who I want to win.... watch it be Kristy, DAMN YOU KRISTY!!!!

Have fun on your cruise!!!! Its my dream to go on one someday!!!! I'm trying to convince my mom to take our whole family on one after I graduate college in 2(er probably 3, lol) years! :thumbs_up:

HAHA! Yes, your pee turns bright orange! It can also stain, underwear and skin, but I still love it... lol

Yay and welcome again lol!! Ugh, I have to get through all my appointments too, its taking fooorreeverr.... Hang in there!

Haha me too! I'm done with school on the 5th, then I have finals until the 15th, although I don't know what day mine are on so maybe earlier. Then I'm taking summer courses that start on June 2nd (I commute to a state school about 45 mins from where I live) so I have a really small window of time at the end of May, I want to be a May Flower too!! Where do you live in CA? I've always wanted to go there!! I live in Attleboro, Massachusetts, about 10 minutes north of Providence, RI, and have never been off the east coast :wub: but I really want to travel more once I save some money. I'm really glad to find people my age too, especially who are in the same stages as me. Keep in touch! Allison
