Well, I don't tend to chew things to mush, but I've not really had very tight restriction yet, so that may change. But meat, especially, can feel like a golf ball going down if I'm not careful. I just wanted to tell everyone that I will be in Southern Utah for fall break, so I won't be in touch so much. I'll try to catch up when I get back!

Okay, I added you in. Have a FANTASTIC trip. Oh, that sounds so fun.

Oh, Marie. Thanks for checking in and letting us know. I was thinking about you last night and wondering what was happening. It sounds like things are going as well as could be hoped for at this point. That is an amazing string of fortunate happenings. Hopefully they will continue!!! That's so funny that he woke up to watch the game. ahhh, the healing power of football! Congrats on the new nephew. We love you too. Please let us know if we can help.

Oh yay! Thanks for letting us know.

I second that!! We miss you!

:crying::eek:

oooo, that would be awful! I can't imagine! PS- I tried on my coat last night and I think I'm just going to try to get by with it this winter. It's not horribly big on me . . . wish it was!! Is it snowing there yet? It's been spitting snow off and on since yesterday and it's really cold, but nothing accumulating on the ground yet . . .

I hear ya. I bought a pricey-for-me down coat last winter and it's too big now. I really don't want to pay a bunch of money for another one for this year. It sucks. Is it cold there today? We're supposed to get a big snowstorm this afternoon. Bleh.

Shelbi!!!! It's so nice to hear from you. How are you?

Are you KIDDING ME???? Have you called them? What the hell is up with that?

That happened to me, too, after my first fill but then it came back again. I would give it a couple of days.

Oh good. It freaks me out when it's all over the map like that. I'm so glad I know someone who knows about this stuff! Well, I'm so glad I know you for all kinds of reasons - that's just a teeny piece of it. Anyhoo, I think I'll try probiotics too. I am sooo irregular, too. I have been exercising and I do think that's helping with the sugars a bit.

I haven't started the Met yet. I'm waiting for my PCP to send some blood test results to the bariatrics guy. OOOO, I hope you get the research job. Fingers, toes, and droopy boobs are all crossed!! AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! Congrats on your weight loss this week. That's fantastic!

Oh, yes!! Hystersisters is awesome! Very helpful group.

Oh my. I just went to a seven course Thai dinner with a different wine served at each course. Made it through the first three courses okay (they were small, appetizer thingys), but by the fourth I was feeling STUFFED. So I had one bite of each of the last four courses, and one sip of each of the last four wines. Now, I feel like I ate a horse (of course) but I know I didn't really eat all that much. The lap band is an amazing thing. That being said, my weight loss is soooooo slow. I'm really hoping the metformin will help. My blood sugar is really messed up. My fasting ranges anywhere from 90 to 135. My 2 hour after meal values can go really high with even a small amount of carbs. I just think my whole metabolic system is a mess. Sigh. Thanks for letting me whine.

Congratulations on getting rid of your boggy, rotten uterus!! I've been proudly uterine free for nine years now and haven't missed it in the slightest!!! You'll be feeling great in no time and wondering why the heck you didn't do it long ago!!!

supershuttle is cheaper than a cab or car (usually) and is lots easier than driving. That would be my recommendation.

So when will they let you know about the job?

I am . . . because I have blood sugar problems. I can't eat more than about 50 g of carbs per day. I primarily eat meat and vegetables.

Hey Munchie, I'm so happy to hear that you talked to your neighbor. Maybe some of the awfulness that has been going on will settle down. And it will be nice to have him watching out for you in case psycho ex shows up. The dog situation is sounding more positive as well. Mal - your dream was awesome. Thanking Dr K and the lapband ladies is so cool. Love it. SID!!! Nice to hear from you! I was wondering where you were! Stop by more often for a chat! Jaime, how is your toe?

Well, crud. That's probably not the news you were hoping for. How are your parents holding up? Lots of cyber hugs . . . It will probably be a long week, so come here whenever you need some love and support cuz we're all here for you.

I had that egg thing too. It was really weird. Yes, I would definitely call him. He's great about calling you back.

Well, I think several of us are in the same boat. I seriously doubt I'll make mine either . . . but you know what? As long as we're all doing our best, that's all we can do! At least we're not gaining!!!
