Shux Jes...wish u could make it Sat, or I could come walk the bridge tomorrow...by the way, we weebles, wobble but dont fall down! (At least I havent since started exercising again, lol) Candra you so funny and giving, somebody needs to pay other than you! Our first family dog, a beautiful beagle, broke our hearts, we had to let him go, for hemorrhaging also, still sad over it, I couldnt come in the house, cause we missed him! Tina & Nicole, you cat ladies too! Hey! The black fit flops I have that design (close) too! Ohhh Pammie, we are waiting for bk to school nite report?? You ladies, know how to make one laugh, cry and go hmmmm! (4 thinking bout things!) :confused:

Hey Ladies, good job on the fills! Tamra asked last page what Fit Flops are...where did you ladies find yours? I have ones that look just like them, and they really do work the legs as well as look nice.. found em at a random stop at Kmart, 1/2 off so thought I would try em! Wore them all day at Six Flags, lil blister tho. They are comfy, they are called Therapeutic Footwear? ? Have a good nites rest, ladies!

Glad to hear the fills went so well! Candi?! Where are you...we miss you, I know a lot of work...but how doing? Candra, I can identify, cause there was no one around here, that I could identify with, you & Jes are gems for each other! There are the monthly threads here on LBTalk, u might find someone on there as the same day also. (But dont spend all your time over there, lol, we need ya's here!) I did meet a couple of banders with the same date as me. Okay, working on the sat group...you ladies ALWAYS give me ideas...and material! I need you all Band O' SOS! BUT... so the tattoo wouldn't hurt as much with more 'cushion'? Does it scrunch up or look different after cushion is lost? Curious?

Okay lovely Richmond Ladies and more... We rockin this thread...50 pages in one week! Whew! That is what I call communication AND support! Ok, waiting for the 'Fill' report too! ehehehe

Hiya Ladies...yes Pam, I get to, so need u there! hehe Lookin forward to Sat, who's up for lunch after, and maybe the fair? Don't know I can do both, but really would like to do our time together. May even have me hubby too! Yeahhh! Oh! Yes I am making plans to be there on the 3rd w our Sweet 'T'! hehehe Perhaps a late/early lunch/dinner too?

Good for you Jes! That is totally an incredible offer, with the handsome hubby o yours! Enjoy, and take PICS! K? Hey, why we are doing this...to enjoy life WITH our fams! We'll have yur 'stick' figure ready, hehe!

Jes... you and Candra... so sassy, & short and soon to be skinny!! hehehe, Our next ladies on deck, rock it!

WOW! The board is not so lonely, lol Candra! Only when you not here with unbelievable funny summaries! Congrats Analynn! Go on and be excited, yes let that hope happen! Same for me, w/in 2 weeks after surgery, I was off diabetic meds (just started before orientation), in Onederland (UNDER 200, I had not seen in YEARS) and energy to join the band (since I have one!) AND you better be there on Sat! We need you, it is for all Kaiser patients as Pam said, also non Kaiser, if anyone has a friend needing support, for both Band & ByPass Patients, we separate the last half of the meeting to network and 'bond'. Consider yur self as part of this BAND of Sistas of Surgery! For all considering... SACRAMENTO SUPPORT MEETING SAT, (the 4th Sat of EACH MONTH), August 22, from 11:00 to 1:00 PM (sometimes 2 for us! hehe) KAISER POINT WEST 1650 RESPONSE RD, SAC, 95815 We also try to go out afterwards for lunch, fun and fellowship for any who would like to go! 'Pammie', work it skinny mama! By the way, I like the tattoo idea..told my son just the other day, what a goal gift that would be to me...I love roses... How about BAND O' SOS (Sistas of Surgery) ? Ouch?! Hope the fills are going well, Sweet T, hoping to see u Sat!

Go Nicole Go, dayyyy 2! Good for u! Are the legs sore? Hope the fill goes well for all who go tomorrow! Seems like you all are coming close to the sweet spot, possibly? Isn't it 6 mos out for some of you, they usually do a blood test to ck on how everything inside is doing, also for vitamins! (thanks Nicole, she reminded while back) (Tamra...hope u can make it Sat too!) Looking forward to Saturday, scheming up things! Thanks C - for the great idea, lol. Have a good Thurs morn, and come back to tell us bout how the fill went! :biggrin:

Gosh Tina, hope it works out...gotta have u there! Does it help to be moving offices on Sunday? Just cking in...did my 25min on Stat bike, rest day for Active. But feels really good, and I am not as sore as I have been (i.e. the legs) with doing Active again! Def am downing the water, marvelous how much smoother our body functions when it has a simple thing like enough water! Also aids in the fat metabolism & concentration! Yeah! I need the concentration part too, hehe. Richmond Support Ladies, let us know how it went...any pics Candra? Jes? Hope it was a good meeting...:biggrin: C - didnt get eml.

Hehehe, Sweet 'T', thought you were asleep! I say, let this Band o Sisters of Surgery back up and support our ladies on deck!!! Power in numbers here my dear! So can I write your book or what? lol By the way, thank you for the 'teacher' comment, you ladies bring it out, this heart really does want to help such lovely ladies as yourselves... and learning like you to care for ourself as well... as Mandisa says...True Beauty!!!

Hey Nicole...and all the late nite lurkers...lol That must be so cute!!! Do u play the urban hiphop? BTW, It is true, some people try to be sensitive, and won't say something in understanding they don't want u to think they thought 'bad' or overweight before, so then nothing is said. Although, just telling people you look great, healthy, younger is always a way to lift someones day!!! And, you know what? Just realizing, it is okay for us to start saying that in the mirror to ourselves, not conceded like, but to know that we were created, unique, there is only one of us on earth...guess when we gather, as sisters, we really can notice the differences and complement in truth!

O my gosh...still LOL, I still say we should have a summary paragraph of ea page, and Candra does it! lolol Thanks for the encouragement ladies, but I have you all to thank for the support, and go get em, and well, ok, like Riley... I love you man!!! (I mean Sisters of Surgery, SOS!) Ummm, thought I was the band support buddy for Pre-op, Candra, and Jes! lol, Really I would like to try to make it, if I can figure out the one car deal. It so exciting watching you 2 rock it, and gettin ready, and yes we are here, when u start to doubt your decisions! Yeahhh Nicole, medium wrkout right? Gonna bike tomorrow for the rest day off. Pam...set it straight, but make sure u keep your distance, we still get to enjoy u as part of the group! Tina, u wonderwoman...can I write your book? lol All you lovely ladies...have a good Anchor (Wed) Day!

Oh...as a Christmas present last year? Soft foods, eggs and mash....wish I knew bout the mash-flowers! hehe Candra is gonna do well, ms. have u tried this & that? hehe Can I come to the pre-op? Would like to try, maybe meet some the great staff you all have!

Evenin Ladies! Ok, Day 2 30 DY Active Challenge, done! I am really enjoying it now, I bought an Intec wireless controller (nunchuk) to use with the remote, so I am wire free, and wow, I can jam with movement! How is everyone else doing, so who might make it on Saturday? Prob asking (cause I be a lil nervous) hehehe. Still pretty tight in the morn, and am really watchin what and How I am eating...think I am at the sweet spot for now! Continuing to learn to listen to the body 'soft signs', believing for a body and band balance with my brain! As I always say...they band the belly, not the brain, shux!

Hiya ladies... I had my CPAP, and brought it with me, but, I also stayed over night there, if I didnt have it, NO ONE would have slept, I would've rocked the hosp w/ my snoring! lolol So I would say bring it, just to be safe. I do have hopes of someday not needing it, but will take a lot to convince me after 16 yrs, BUT I have heard it being rid of after surgery!!! Interesting topic Tina...The Invisible Elephant...hmmm... See how good you are..trained eye to see things, and now YOU are seeing them AND dealing with them for a healthier you!!!! and me!!! hehehe :sad:

Whew! Evenin ladies!!! I did it, I did it! Got back on track and did 1st day WII ACTIVE, 30 day challenge! And I rocked the burned calories! It was late, started bout 9:30, and boy does it feeeel good! Yes Tamra, anytime, do you have the Wii yet? I also have both the Wii Fit and Active, any questions, will answer. I did start using the Wii Fit, to drop weight for Pre-op, and w/o any other excercises, or meal plans, that alone helped me, I know I lost inches, and THEN started doing the treadmill for 30, why? Cause I had the energy and want to to do it after on the Wii Fit! The Active is more of a personal trainer...but and it does track your exercises, Fit tracks all things, weight, bmi, and exercising. Was glad I had that first, but now they are coming with I heard...a Wii Fit Plus. Ok, will try the hummus, thought it looked interesting, and since it is tried and true with our real ladies (who have curves, hehe) I will go get some!!! Candra, my case nurse emailed me back...no, SSF, Kaiser is not doing single incision yet, and she also said they WILL fade! Like I said, get a cute tattoo over any that don't!hehe Ok, so tracking, 25 min. on Wii Fit Active today & 6+ waters!

I hope this is a good thing Tina, u can use less stress, I know u will just work it to your fullest! Hey, more time to write that book...even in here? lolol Ok, added a few pics to profile, let me know if you cant see em. So who is up for lunch after meeting Sat?

Good Mon Mornin Ladies! Just wanted to wish everyone a good week, with healthy choices. Nicole & I are starting the 30 Day Active/Wii today, anyone want to join posting exercise, Riley already does of course! Misplaced my pedometer, gonna locate it and post steps too. Also, wanted to ask, anyone have something they want to hear in the support group this Sat? I do have my 'themes' lol, but open for what YOU ladies need! Gonna send out a list too. Gonna work on the pics, also. Candra, I so enjoy the family pics! They just tell such a story, and the ones from Sat says...friendship, fun and not just food but good food! BTW, YOU so cute! Hope you know I was teasing you on Sat, I will ride with you anytime! Petaluma sounds cooool, I will be returning from a short trip (bay area) Fri nite, so not sure I can make it.
