Oh yeah, chris yea we are tight, but i believe in a 10cc we can get up to 14ccs if i remember right. But im pretty sure we are close to our sweet spots......

Holy cow i just realized just how much i posted! Sorry!!!! Candra i can relate about making it easier.. me and chris and tina were all banded within 3 weeks of each other it was really nice. What sucked is i had to go first..... And Tina, girl i love you, in my opinion honesty is the best policy and ive learned, that lately my mouth can talk an awful lot.. and right now with whats goin on i will say anythng.. i even told baggs i was scared he was gonna think i was crazy and take all my fluid lol..

OK! Well after catching up with 5 pages lol... I FINALLY made it home. Had to pee so bad lol. Ok well this am we left at 11 or maybe 10:55 and got there at 12:10 i asked mike how that one happened.... thats what i get for not lookin at his speed..... So, Tamra, water hmm i didnt hold off on drinking till the day of surgery. You kinda are forced into the liquids only and i think that reallyhelped.. I couldnt do it before either. Yeah occasionally ill take a sip now, but its normally when my tounge is on such fire that i need it.. Tattoos.. funny yall mention that.. One of the things me and baggs talked about were scars.. he said to use ANY lotion doesnt matter the kind but PUSH and rub at the same time.. and he rubbed mine to give me an idea.. and, he said you wanna feel it. Because you are tryin to get deeper in the tissue.. so.. remember push and rub:D AND< i said cause im close to goal so im gonna wanna wear somethin cute, and not sport scars lol, he said... GET A TATTOO.. okkkk.. thats when i said, IM SCARED OF NEEDLES.. he said (laughed) "you just asked me for blood work" lol yeah im a nut. But everyone knows i need blood work to see whats going on in my body... So he encourages tattoos!!! I dont, im runnin the other way..:confused: So my fill was wonderful like always, nice to know my new scale is exactly the same as theres.. and for people wanting to know what they will weigh with clothes chris and i talked about this.. when ur nakie about to shower weigh first, then put outfit number one in ur arms, weigh and so on.. that way you dont have to get dressed four times:D And i told him how i got sick of wearing the same outfit.. hes all yeah the dresses dont do much cause it all weighs close to the same anyways lol. He didnt know we wear dresses though cause they are light lol. So i told him about my energy spells so he ordered FIVE vials of blood, checkin all my sugars and vits.. i also had one for my ob to check my testosterone so i threw that one in today also.. Lotsa blood. I laid down for that one too:D Then i told him I need counceling like last week, and he said it is very common, we get surgery to get healthy and it changes everything. I said oh yeah mikes hating my confidence and everything. I was soo close to tears, and he just looks at us with such sympathy.. ( i bet he hears it all:D ) He said well i am smart to ask for help now cause this is when people leave hubbies etc. I said id rather not but he is constantly sabbotaging me, fighting with me etc. AND, i am liking my new bod, and my new confidence.. Ive never been this size.. so i wanna strut it and mike is like nooooooooo. LOL fun life i know. So, hes gonna help me get counceling but told me to look online for how we get it. Then he asked if i was vomitting, i said "I wouldnt call it vomiting dr baggs" Lol he just laughed.. i said no i do not vomit i PB... and i havent in a while.. i said the first two weeks i had some issues so bad i debated on this.. and (then i mentioned tina.. and how i learned from her yadda yadda) and he asked ok whens the last time i said 2 weeks ago.. so then he said ok you can have .5cc i said OKAY:) then i drank my water... sat up and was good.. drank more water :drool: Then i told him about tina again.. i think hes got the point that tina needs a fill.. ( I TRIED HARD GIRL) i saw the next fill needle and thought of tina lol. Told him she was gonna come today, and she couldnt make it.. he thought it was funny... Next fill is in october, they will be calling, if not we have to call them, oh joy. He did make it sound like T will be in our fills again, cause i said oh man she wont, he said why not, and then i sat there and did the math.. and realized SHE WILL:D lol. Then we talked about my weight loss and thats when i went off about my new found confidence and everything and i said im a whole new person. We should make a before and after picture card for him. Because i dont think he remembers us heavy. Imagine what he would think seeing the chubby us to the skinny us..... idea right???? Ok, so now candi and chris you know why i was there for so long lol... I finally got up and told him i better let him get to the next patient cause with everything going on i could talk all day long and he just laughed:D I love dr baggs, icouldnt ask for a better surgeon.. yeah he gets embarrased easily, but he is very caring, and genuinley cares about us i think... Ok so im up to 8.3 and i feel the water. I am full right now, ON WATER. Yeah i did stop for a chai, i was diein after getting my blood drawn, needed some milk. But it sure filled me. Now i feel water.. i cant drink like i used to... kinda worries me... we will see.. I think its bad to get fills in pinole im loose there, always am.. lol then i come to the hills lol. I hope next time i go i am 165.... that is doable I THINK.. the problem i find as i get closer to goal, THIS GETS HARDER!!!! More of a fight.. every day fight. 1 lb isnt what it used to be anymore its pretty huge. Like when i was 250.. 2.5 lbs was 1% of my body weight.. now 2.5 lbs would be 4.45% Way different. WOW, thanks tina for help with math.. Wow that just made me realize im in for a journey.. Ok im gonna stop typing... ttyl:D

Lol candra, I love your sense of humor! If i told anyone that they would think nicole has lost it... So I weighed and somehow im still 179.. then i get dressed and i become 181.. what is up with that one. Wish i could go braless.. Oh well doesnt matter. Dont want baggs to think i dont need a fill. SA_Zoo.. where do you live.. we are all northern cali kaiser. I heard that southern is a year wait because of some nutrtion class 6 month program you are required to do... I do recommend kaiser, because its a lot less money out of your pocket. I had orientation nov 4 and surgery 3/31 (could have been a month sooner if i wasnt goin to VEGAS:) ) I am now down 85. The secret to good weight loss is A GROUP OF WOMEN.. seriously, if it wasnt for these women on this board, and all the support groups etc.. i would have for sure failed by now. But i think ive proved im not a stress eater:D lol... Good luck with your surgeon let us know what he says!!!

Good Morning ladies! How was everyones nite. I am excited for the fill. Ive already had 32 oz of water, so i know the scalewill not like miss nicole:D

Actually no im not sore. But its ok:) Ill keep doing it. And Monday i start a class in sac. i only go once a month, but its an exercise class, im guessing they give us a personalized training thing. Who knows ill know then:D

Im excited about tomorrow, i love going to these appts.. but i could care less about my weight and this is a first.... Ivehad 64 oz of water in the last hr and i want more and more and more.. i bought 32 more bottles for my allliquids tomorrow....:biggrin:

Heather of course you are being noticed girl you look greeeeeeeeeeat!!!:biggrin: Tina id love to do a lunch.. ID LOVE TO GO SALSA DANCING TOO hint hint..... So im ready for a fill, for sure i can eat too much. Donna i did day 2:D today:D

Do any of you ladies that are pre op wanna go to the fill tomorrow you are welcome to join me as a person if ya want:D

Well i would say yeah but you all know when ihad a sweet so i dont think 1 day could really screw me up like this.. atleast boy i hope not. But i did make a peanut butter cookie today to eat.:biggrin: With splenda:D

I hate that im weighing in tomorrow but you know what at this point i dont care:D im gonna enjoy my peanut butter!

I had some juice last night and it did. I dont know when i eat a sweet i feel great. IE.. i made my 30 cal peanut butter cookies earlier.. and well... i felt better after i ate them.. I gotta get away from the sweets but they make me feel human again:D

Yumm i love in and out. I always get their single lettuce wrapped when i go. :biggrin: So girls i had to eat, the dizzy/nausious feeling i get you know my menopause lol, is taking me over.. the pathetic thing is eating didnt get rid of it. But i had a piece of cheese and 8 almonds so not much i think im gonna wait an hour and have tuna for lunch that tends to fill me. I am ready for a fill by far.

Tamra we really need to figure out some bfast ideas for you, i can see why you are getting sick of cottage cheese... I wonder why we arent supposed to eat before a fill? Like maybe if we drink 64 oz right after it would be ok lol?

Chris me and audrey dont get up till about 9 so it will be to late. I am gonna try to go to bed early tonight though so i can get up for breakfast.. But does anyone ever notice the earlier they do bfast the hungrier they are thru the day???

Oh wow Jess that sounds like a lot of fun, but i have a feeling after i drive to SF that it would take everything i made lol.. So good morning ladies.. hope everyone is doing well! I am trying to hold off to eat till 1:30.. since tomorrows fill i cant eat all morning also. :biggrin: We will see if i can do it...... Tamra, try having lunch for bfast, like maybe fruit and yogurt, or sausage, tuna, chicken, maybe make a meat loaf??

What are you needing to hire for? Any PT positions??:biggrin:

Yes medium. Auds does it with me.. when she hears the music she starts running incircles like mommy lol

lol true i guess that would be like me bringing mine huh lol..

Tamra maybe you can bring your baby to the meeting???

LOL OMG THAT IS SOME FUNNNY FUNNNNNY STUFF!! Candra you need to type more often lol, you always help put a smile on my face. Im planning on telling him, because its either a panic attack on the way, me hitting menopause at 24 lol, or some stupid diabeties that uhm SHOULDNT HAPPEN AFTER LOOSING!!!... Im super emotional, so i believe the first two.. for instance.. who went to the fair lately and visited the pigs?? well i did, and i cried the whole time, those poooor piggies.. already set up to die:( they were only 6 months old! Yeah sob story of my life. But candra you crack me up!!! DOnna.. DO NOT be nervous! Seriously! You are AMAZING, you make us all feel better, and you are a wonderful woman! Tina.. hmm wish i had the reading power you have.. time to write your own book. Pam. that guy is it the same guy from a while ago that was supposed to go to i believe its six flags?? Hey atleast you know your daughter is going to get an A!!! And your kids are ADORABLE! Heather.. your new teacher is about to have a heart attack, get out now! Candra thanks for the nutshell helps me respond:D I do see how people become vegetarian though because seeing those piggs, its so sad they are so inocent and so happy. All they want is their food damn it. Then you got these 4h kids cryin cause your cryin, and they are layin in the pen with their pigs.. yeah poor piggies. No i didnt go to the cow area next.. that was enough.. OH but i did see the horses from TV...

Milk of mag is at dollar tree:) Just so ya gals know:D

I third that only 1 person on facebook besides all you beauties know i got surgery. Ok girls something isnt right. Today i am an emotional and physical roller coaster, i keep getting super hot. I have had 6 bottles of water and 5 cups of tea.. So my water intake is UP there. I feel like i have a fever, but i dont, my energy crashes then regains. Mike thinks its my sugar, and its all messed up from the chocolate last night. So i had a cashew chocolate tonight and it helped but only for an hour. Now im crashed again, i feel tingly and nervous. eh:( Has anyone seen anyone they knew when they were heavy, and they didnt mention your weight loss at all??? I ran into the lewis's the other day at the fair.. and its bugging me that they didnt say a damn word. They have never seen me this small, and i grew up with these people! They were my parents friends. How can people not see it im confused. Anyone else notice some people wont say anything?? and i wonder why.... Some of my friends i havent seen from highschool are the same way. But whats funny are any Exs i run into notice it right off the bat. What the heck. My father is also someone who doesnt say he notices. So monday i start an exercise class im kinda excited i think it will help give me the motivation to finish getting to goal. I only GO to the class 1x a month.. but, i think its one of those So audrey is changing.. she no longer shoves food in mommys face (well not lately) now she just feeds the cat lol. He LOVES it.. has put on a couple rolls:) I am so excited for candra and jess we are so close! We need to go salsa dancing before then. How does Thursday the 27th sound for everyone for salsa.. Cant do this thurs cause Fill time.. but next... Ok im gonna stop rambling..
