Yup! WE are totally the rockstars:D

Oh and Lori, No i do not wish i had done RNY. I would do my band AALLLL OVER AGAIN:D With the band i get the constant check up with the surgeon, rny doesnt get that... I choose rny because i didnt want to be disected, and I would rather have to work to loose the weight rather then be malnourished to loose it.. Less complications, and safer in my eyes:D

WOOOO HOOO JESS!!! How exciting! Is that the same day as candra??? I cant remember?!?!

Good Morning Ladies! Yes heather you are right, I did feel AWFUL about having my 1/2 slice of pie, and before i probably would have finished it off and tried one of the other delicious pies they offer. What is good about yesterday is i didn't gain anything so that makes me happy. Lori! Welcome to the group!!! We are a great one to join! WE want to all make it to the finish of our goal and as long as you come here you most likely will:) We keep on each other :thumbup: Its not a bad thing though:) Also we do meet in person... Dr Park, i believe Reggie on here has had her, so when you see her post ask her about dr park.. i believe thats who she had. MOST of us on here had Dr Baggs, so there is quite a bit of fans of him on here, dont take that the wrong way, All the surgeons are great:) Ok about the schedule: I had Orientation -> PSych -> Sugeon (was already at goal) -> Liz -> Prsurgery appts with Baggs and the nurse -> Surgery... In the last 4 weeks i did have to go get a blood pregnancy test and regular blood tests, and 2 ekgs.. my ekgs are not normal so they wanted to make sure it always stayed the same:D I started on my Birthday, November 4th, and I became a Bandster on 3/31. I met with Dr baggs in december, on new years eve (yeah they work crazy days) and met with liz 3 weeks later, she was on a vacation so it got pushed out. i could have had surgery in february like the second week area, but i had a convention 4 weeks later and i didnt feel i would have made it with all the yummy foods there:D So you can be done with the process in 2 months or 1 yr, it is all up to you:) Tamra dont you see dr baggs this week??? Tina: i agree im ready for a fill also. Isnt it weired how we loose restriction!!! I dont like it at all!!! OK im going to plan our petaluma walk once and for all and the salsa dancing! So I need a vote, Petaluma walk I need to know who wants to go, and what day is better for you a Weekday or Sat or Sun. Salsa: I need to know if it is just Candra and i, or if some of you other beauties are gonna shake your butay with us :wub: If so please let me know and also if weeknights are ok (we found a place that is cheap during the week:) We need to get our activites planned so we can do them! And Ill walk the bridge when are we doing that tina and riley!?! Anyone seen Candra lately?

Ill go skyjumping or whatever it is ur talkin about lol it looks fun:D So today, for me hmm tina i feel ya girl, i lost all restriction... B: Cheeze stix 90 cal L:Fish stick tomato slice 10 crackers 200 cals S: 1 c watermelon D: Went out.. 2 pork spare ribs, 2 hush pupies, 2 salad shrimp 1 pot sticker Desert:( what i regret... 1/2 a piece of small chocolate pie:( i know i know bad bad bad:( So im probably ending around 1000-1200 cals for the day, but still im so mad about the pie! Why!!!!!!!! Id have to say though does anyone else remember what it was like at a buffet??? Id go and fill a plate and then fill it again.. now i go get 2 ribs then 1 of a couple things and i fill up so easy i dont even get my plate close to empty, i find im like eh thats not worth the space.. and its amazing watching my baby eat it all for me lol Then came desert that is my weakness... So at 9pm lol, i had my hubs out walking the circle with me:) Yes it was dark and no there are no lights:D lol so we atleast burned 250 cals..... Oh and i lost 10 dollars at thunder valley that casino so does not pay out!!!:cool:

Tina: id wait till the day before to make up your mind, i am sure dr baggs would totally understand:D Im thinking i will get a fill though, ive had no issues now in a couple of days.. I am journaling again also, and posting on here:) I like postinc cause then i actually see what i eat lol. My snacking has slowed down i notice to basically nothing so thats good, ive been staring at a watermelon though since lunch lol so we will see how long i can hold out:D Riley im so glad that your son and you are getting close thats great:D wish i had a support person like that, when it comes down to it ir eally only have sabotages.... its kinda bad but whatever:) I have you wonderful ladies as my support:D

I would only be moving to probably vallejo area, its cheaper so only like 1hr away.. mike makes it in 45 min... doubt i can do it that fast:D But you never know whats going to happen, hes got intel talking to him again too but they said 17.00 so we will see that has no benifits:(

Hi ladies, Riley i like the sound of your restriction, i could use that.. Ive loosened up since i gave my pouch a 1/2 day of rest:) I would like the restriction that makes it where i cant eat much, but no pbing... so fine line. Right now id say i can eat a 1/2-1 c of food and be full for about 4-6 hrs. Depending on the food item.. and my water intake. I could eat more then one shrimp though for sure......:cool: So ill walk the bridge the prob is i need to already be in the area. Hopefully we will be moving to the area next week, ill know more tomorrow:D

You go girl!!!

Riley i love the"hoover boys" That made me laugh:D Tamra, wow you dont like eggs??? This is going to be a little hard for you to go out and eat then, a LOT of self control. Because like riley i do an omelet or scrambled eggs when im at a bfast place, because its hard to find a protein item on their menus that isnt covered in gravy.. What are you eating for Breakfast currently??? It is very hard to eat out with the band and make the right choices.. but post surgery pancakes wont reallly tempt you because for some reason with the band, you will gain easilier lol. I am serious.. anyone else feel this way? I feel if i screw up one day its like im done for a week.. Even if i go back to being a good girl, the wieght just sits there... does NOT budge. PEtaluma walk, did we pick a date??

I have to admit im REALLY bad at measuring, so i told the hubs we are eating at home for a while. With all the interviews and traveling we havent been eating here much... So im starting again:) And im working on my water intake again.. My Menu: B: 1 egg, 1/4 cup potatoes L: Tortilla, 2 pieces meat, 2 pieces tomato yummmm D: 1 Taco (HomeMade) E: 1.5 mile Today i went to the inlaws to play with cricut, i really do love that lil machine:D Got to leave auds with daddy that was nice. Mike and i went shopping, has anyone noticed we no longer shop down the isles?? MAINLY just the outside rim. I thought htat was a wake up call... So how is everyone doing? Im looking forward to next weekend:D

I am so tempted to buy these FIT FLOPS! Gosh what made u buy them??? So i just bought a new scale, we were talking tonight about how much i hate mine. It seriously hates me, one moment it will say one weight i get off and back on and it takes doing that 3 times till its ACTUALLY right! Then will hold the wieght for a couple times. Its ridiculous. SO< i bought a new one cant wait to get it.. Audrey is rejecting sleep tonight:(

OH, i went shopping today! A girl needs new pants right?? Well i have no SLACKS!! So i got some..:confused: a pair of 8/10s so they should last me a long while. And a couple of M shirts. I did try on a dress i really liked, but it was snagged so i didnt get it... Im gonna try some more ross stores:D So in the last couple days i got a pair of skinny jeans:) and a pair of slacks and 3 shirts.. i think i should be good:D Reggies party is next weekend right??

Maria, you are doing GREAT! I know how easy it is to say ditch the carbs etc.. but its not easy doing it so do it one day at a time, do half the amnt then cut back that way thats what im doing right now, i like my carbs and it causes ur liver to swell so guess what we gain weight. I once heard the liver can maintain like 10 lbs of fluid... It will go away:) Take a easy weekend. Riley im so glad you had a good fill! That is AWESOME! you are such a rock star! Since you are getting close to goal also let me know what you eat! Cause i fight every lb.. :confused: Sept 24! OH NO that wont work, i guess we will have to see.. thats my hubbs bday i probably wont need a fill then though going at this rate.. No pbing today ladies! B: one of those cheese sticks (80 cal) L: 1/2 a bowl of clam chowder, 1/2 a side salad ( 300 cal) D: 1/4 c bbq chicken, sprinkle cheese, 1/4 c corn, and some lettuce ( ~500 cal) No pbin today, was down in the bay for mikes number 2 interview with mobi, they asked him 5 times if HE wanted the job, he said he needs to know $$$ answers.. So sounds like he has this one, but we need to see the $$$$$$$!!!! He would be a Applications Software Engineer... sounds kinda cool i think lol. How did everyone else do today????

Chris yeah it sucks huh, i dont heave before pbing i slime.. its more of food covered in slime then vomit... Yesterday when i pbed off of who knows what, i heaved after, so i stood up and walked out cause that i think is more of a reaction to it. Tina I hope you have a better day today!!!:nanahump: Im mad at the scale today, yesterday i burned 600 cals on my run and ate about 500.. and the scale says i gained 4 lbs! How does that work!!!:wink2: Ok well i got jipped into going to the bay with mike anyways... my knee is aching from yesterday (see i over did it again:( ) so mike doesnt think i should do the run and that i should just donate the money:( oh well.. we will seehow i feel tomorrow.

I had fudgesicles post op.. it was actually one of my addictions lol.. auds too.. I finally got off those darn suckers:D But they were sugar free and fat free thats how i "justified" it lol

Lol yes today is thursday. Girls im so excited my husband might have a job again soon:D I love him being home dont get me wrong, but i need a break from him lol.. 6 months is LONG ENOUGH.

Riley good luck tomorrow and have fun:) If you can make him blush:) I love making Dr Baggs Blush i think its so cute how he blushes so easily. Tina im still looking for you on Face Book its not showing you logged in...

Im there are you sitll logged on FB???

Riley you are so silly. Just get excited about tomorrow being a new day. The high cal low cal thing doesnt work for me anymore.. it was nice when it did.. :wink: Nothing lately is.. oh well stupid plateus..:crying: You exercised i bet more then 2000 cals today! So no fear:) Cricut time!!!:tt2: I need some women time, candra what happened to Salsa dancing???!!?!?!?!?!

Tina you are way tighter then me it sounds (water I can chug as much as i want:) ) and it makes me know i don't want any more fills unless im done pbing for sure. Yesterday get this i pbed on Tuna salad, and then on a hamburger patty. so correct choices.. i think its just a mooooody band:) LOL oh my gosh this kid is too young to be so smart, im staring at my kid she got a sippy out of the dishwasher went to the fridge and pushed on the puttons to get it to fill up ( i locked it) lol she went back to the dishwasher to get a new cup and is trying again LOL, IM LAUGHIN SOOO HARD!!!!:wink:

Wanna go to six flags or something i have 1/2 off coupons... If u wanna do something ill come up if not im sittin on my duff.. lol I am not ready for an unfill yet. Because its a fine line.. i dont wanna get an unfill and then be able to eat a house again.. I am gonna do another morning of liquids then go back to easy protein.. see if thats ok? I do now see why tina doesnt want an unfill:)

Yeah there is.. i almsot emailed asking for an unfill but I really dont wanna drive 3 hrs. The prob with me is even though i pb.. um i dont loose... not sure how tina does it. :wink: Yeah i think auds will be fine, its funny tonight she brought me a spoon and pudding.. Candra you work tomorrow right?? Mike is coming down for his second interview i think im staying home.....

Tina i know the feeling, and im starting to get scared of slippage, did baggs ever say how often we can pb before he gets worried?? As we all know i was a good girl today, had soup and pudding for lunch no B.. then dinner, i went to sizzler....... Tried having a salad (small less then 1/2 c) 1 onion ring, and a bite of auds potatoe... OK, 5 bites in, 3 of the salad 1 of onion ring im good 1 potatoe bite... YOU GUESSED IT... pressure in the chest sayin omg are u kidding me:( In the ladies room i go.. girls it was bad i dry heaved, meaning my lower stomach was trying to come up.. needless though just slime and one bites worth of stuff came up.. then i was dry heaving, and had to leave so it would stop. Then i was able to easily eat 3 of their meatballs, and a cup of their soup. And then i was done. I was never really hungry today.. so that was nice, i was fussy though lol. But im so scared of my band slipping. Candra to answer u.. no this is NOT why i wanted my band.. i wanted it for restriction, so i could still be human.. Girl, i have to be soo careful, eating out is NOT enjoyable for me or my family... Audrey is now faking vomiting her food, and disecting her food lol. I got my band for restriction, i never wanted to pb.. id rather be able to make the choice myself. AND, when u dont eat or under eat i dont know about tina, but i do start getting weak... Ok off about my rant childs wantin me..

Tamra you are doing Awesome! And one day i promise you wont be looking forward to dinner;)
