Bring ing some 18/20s this weekend. I am in 14/16 if anyone has any~~ or XL. I emailed Dr. Baggs to day and explained my Robin comment. I figured I needed to tell him it the tone of voice not the words that bug me. I know they are good friends so I have to be careful.............honest but careful. I still wanna say screw the whole thing cause I am still frustrated with the darn band but have to give it a try..........or learn how to do fills on my own?? I know a place in town that will do them for 100 dollars but that would NOT go over well to show up with a fill!!! LOL. That is for if I lose my insurance my backup plan!!

Reggie would love to come to your place. Busy on the 13th but the 6th would work for me. Candra: why was he reluctant? 10 pounds in 3 months you will be fine. I have to lose 10 in 5 weeks. 2 a week!! LOL. So what are unrealistic expectations for the lap band. I want more details of Dr. Fischers expectations for the band!! Not hungry with 1/2 cup. Really Candra?? I do get hungry like stomach growling hungry.........Really, really really?? Hmmm gotta think about that one. Well no gym yet today. Just got home. Work kicked my butt today. I am frustrated with management.

Hey Mo. No exercise here yet unless getting lost in an apartment complex looking for a family counts!! Don't you all think the numbers should go in chrono order but nope 278 was right next to 11.......HTH was I to know that??? So if that count it took me a half hour of walking in the rain to find a door to knock on with no answer......... Haven't eaten much. 2 veggie sausage this morning.

Morning all still raining here!! Headed out today hoping to get alot done including time at the gym!! Gotta hit right for Oprah WIsh I had a treadmeal at home!! Ped on today Mo!! Here is to a great exercise day huh?? Nicole I am gonna text ya later. Hey all I finally have text messaging so add me to your list. I will PM you my number if I know who has text Tamra girl!! You doing ok. Today is the worst day than it gets better. Hoping you don't have your little one today so you can sleep!! Getting up and down today is gonna be a bit slow.......check in when you can I am wondering how your doing!! Ok off to work ladies. I am gonna try to call Liz later today. I know she is busy but gonna try. I really wanted to talk to her at Vacaville last week and missed out!!

Yea Candra it has been a long time you'll get a fill. Jes did they say why no more group fills?? Hmm......I think I might know but just wondering. I think they want more one on one with Robin. But I agree Liz is more my age and I think she gets me more. She gets more of the background and emotional issues related to eating.........not just the binder, textbook issues. Yea I think anytime we lose a bit faster we can get another appointment sooner. Dr. Baggs told me that too.

I wish I had a treadmill...................

I have a pedomeater. I think that 10,000 is 5 miles........Riley??? I need to put mine back on I have been going to the gym at 4pm and watching Oprah and Ellen while I walk for an hour. THat makes the time go by faster but my work is crazy so I don't know if I can do that everyday. But I have to walk to stay in fat burning mode..........geez am I that unfit. I don't understand that. Yea 5000 is average for me 10 takes normal plus the gym too...........disneyland was 25,000 a day for two days I really should go back. But.........does it count if you stop and start all day?? Does that get your heartrate up??

Well I am playing with carb I think.....not much but it must be just enough. I also worry about the Celexa and it I should give it a rest and see what happens......ran out of the Alli and done with that..........not sure it really worked to well. LOL!! Yep Mo that is restriction!! Yea!! Good for you!! Accountability!! YEp gotta love that word. I still say let go to the jump house sometime that Heather was talking about. What is upnthis weekend girls???

Oh I need a valentines ticker too!! Hmm I want a miles run ticker............I was thinking to make a mileage goal for the month. NOt sure yet what is a good goal there. 3 miles a day is how many steps...........jump in her Riley!! LOL.

YEa Jes I love Liz!! I wanted to talk to her when I was at Vacaville. She is the person that I totally click with. I really like Liz. I am sad I didn't get to talk to her. Maybe I should call over that and see if I can talk to her. I always feel more motivaterd after I talk to her............Tell me what she told you!! I miss seeing Liz more regular. YOur right she really gets it. Mo I have a 14 year old that kicks my butt. She is always on me to exercise and eat right. Girl drives me crazy but I did this to do more things with her and be with her more. I gotta get back connect and doing things with the group again and up the exercise ALOT!!!

Oh Mo I am with you on the exercise thing. I am not eating bad just to much..........so my next thought is I gotta up the exercise ALOT so I won't starve. I know if am waking up at night I won't survive the 1/4 cup thing. But if I do resort to eating a bit more than I think exercise is my saving grace..............either that or starve a bit!! LOL. Gonna try this week and see how it works.........

Hey Riley how did the class go?? ANd yep where is the mystery man?? Did he return?? Ah geez I am still dealing with an ex off and on here........long story!! I don't want to get into it right now :-) But lets say I got an apology and put it out on the table. Now I am debating how much to talk to him and how much to shut him out. Sorta just stirred things up for me........of course I should have known he would be back around eventually. Been a bit distracted with that and layoffs.... Probably not helping with staying on track. I have to go back to all protiens. Darn it!! LOL. I am gonna do protiens and vegetable and nothing else this week. I guess I am gonna axe everything but water two. I am gonna get down so I can get a fill and than I am gonna bargain and negotiate for 2cc's at once!! LOL, I told Baggs and he smiled but didn't say anything......LOL!! Darn annoying social workers!! LOL Tamra glad your done. Girl I bet your so relieved and glad you got the COBRA!! You did it I was afraid you were gonna die out a few times...........sorta like I have wanted to die out a few times this month~~LOL!! Really cool you stuck it out. You ill be glad!!!

How many incisions? I have um......five but one is almost gone now. Ah the elephant worse part of me. I hated that part but that truly was the worse it only got better from there..

AH burping feels wonderful!! I don't know if I told Dr. Baggs that you were worried but I did tell him you hoped he would get some sleep!! THat is when he said he was on call but would get some sleep!! LOL. He is to funny............he knows we all know each other but he can't say anything!! He just smiled at me and I told him "I know, I know HIPPA rules" but we both knew who we were talking about............Of course he had to make a comment. He laughed about the nail question though!! He thought that was funny!! So glad it went well. Walking sure helps and the more burp and ...........ur um.........let it come out other ways the better it gets!! So you have nice incisions?? Is that what he thought you were worried about??

Happy Birthday Ash!! Ah how is Tamra??? anyone know??? I am warm and toasty at home loving it. I got soaked from my car to the office and was wet all day. My hair was soaked and went all wild and wavey but what can ya do!! LOL. It was a crazy day. My patio chairs were flying around the yard and even a cat box went flying by and hit my sliding glass door. My peach tree has some plastic bags hanging from it that must have flown there. I don't think I like wind.......rain yep but not the wind sorry scary. Power poles down here and a few trees went down.....nice and calm tonight!!!

I had three ccs at surgery and I felt if for a few days. I go the elephant!! LOL. I think Riley did too!! So how is Tamra?? Candra is she at your house in your green chair?? So her surgery got delayed?? How long?? I hope she can post later today!!

County is gonna layoff again in two weeks. We are hearing it could be up to 800 this round..........California......ah California......... I hear IHHS, CPS, Probation, DA's office, Sheriffs and some welfare programs are being cut or reduced. But right now they are saying to just keep working and not to worry.............Really?? NOt to worry?? Ah this is a repeat of last summer all over again!!! Everything is hush hush..............

Hmm Tamra should be out by now if the surgery went through. Pam I was nice in what I said too but what does a making a note mean? I hope they don't make it a bad thing. I didn'nt have one but I am sure Dr. Baggs will talk to hear about what I said they are good friends. Yea Pam my taxes are alot less to this year. Last year I got 900 for the state and this year 36. And the state is still broke??? I know they took away some of the child tax great. Well ok most of the credit..........I don'te know about this but if they forlough and tax heavy.........well how can people afford this? I finally left the house but now I am stuck at a Dennys since Watt Ave is totally down and that is how I get to Rancho Cordova............sounds like my office power is out I don't know what the point is of trying to get to that side of town....... Tamra let us know how it goes and how you feel!!

Power is out here too......Dr. Baggs is great I totally trust him you will be fine!!! I thought hospitals have back up generators. I hope they go through surgeries today. I bet they will. The lady in the room next to me yesterday was getting the sleeve I heard them talking to her a bit........interesting stuff. I asked Dr. BAggs but he said he is sure the band is gonna work for me!! LOL. Work is gonna kill me when I tell them I have another appointment thought............. Ok so working from home until things calm down a bit. We have a tree down in my street so waiting for that to get cleaned up than outta here........

The pouch test isn't a cure all. It is very hard and it seems you gain the weight back really quick once you stop. I have done it twice. It does make you lose quick but for me once I back to regular lap band eating I gained in back in a few days. I am afraid it was alot of water weight................BUT for right before an appointment or a fill it might be a great idea!! I could do that and than call for an earlier appointment. As soon as I am down Dr. Baggs said I don't have to wait I can call for a fill...........just scheduling is a problem take forever unless someone cancells!!

Shoulder rub by nurse.............ah I got jipped!! Seriously Riley what did you do to get that treatment. Ah the elephant. Yep that was the worse part for me but give it an hour and it decides to stand up and quit bugging ya so much. I really got a nice dose of pain killers but be careful cause they make you sleepy. I had the nurses change the face mask for a nose mask and that helped me alot with the breathing.......and that darn elephant!! Tell Dr. Baggs we all say hello and ask him if got any on call emergencies the night before..........LOL

Tamra I was the first up to and I was in the room and out by 7:50am. I looked at the clock right before. I was out by 9am. Barium swallow at 11am but they tried to get me moving before that.........I was to tired to wake up so they let me sleep until 11am. I slept through the Barium swallow don't remember to much!! I was loopy that day so I can't be held accountable for what I might have done!!!

Pam I think you might have note in your file from Robin!!! LOL :-P

When the MOM works...........ah it works!! Stay home.....

I had the two pills they are for naseua and I was glad I had them. I also got some the day of in an IV. I saw Dr. Baggs today. No fill but I guess Robin told him to consider giving me a small one but he overruled. I have to be down 5 to get a fill and I am up 5.......***sigh***** I am going back in a month and have to be down. His nurse told me no one got fills today out of 4 people in front of me I told her to just make it five. LOL He is getting stricter with fills like the other docs!! But yea he was ok. I toldhim I knew no fill but I was "being accountable and weighing in" He laughed and said he wasn't gonna yell if that was what I was waiting for. I said don't worry I already heard it from Robin and I told him I gave it right back to her. He said oh no.........he said usually when that happens there is a note in the file about it. He didn't find anything. I was very nice about it just said that I couldn't be 100% honest if I was gonna get lectured and she was cool with that.I told him I was a social worker and didn't have a problem telling people how to talk to me so I would really listen!! He just laughed..........he said ya those social workersat least your not a psychologist they are worse!! I toldhim that I know Social workers can be assertive and annoying since I hang out with them all the time and they annoy me too I just told him her words are usaully right on but the delivery is lacking sometimes. I told him that I didn't think I could work with her anymore if I wansn't honest cause the approach was bother me. I am sure he wrote it down.......so Robin will know. He said he was not gonna lecture me and I told him but I droveall the way from Sacramento to hear the lecture...........LOL. I told him actually I needed to come otherwise it gets to easy to just put off the whole thing. Anyway he was cool about it. HE just told me he is 100% sure I can get down before the next appointment but yep he is gonna hold me to it........but yea no lecture and no yelling!! Just the facts and the rules...........works for me!! Tamra I told him to watch out for you tomorrow. He of course can't admit he knows you but he smiled. I told him to get some sleep and he laughed and said tell her I am on call tonight.........than he laughed and said but also tell her I will get a good nights sleep too!!! :-) I told him about your nails and he said he didn't care about that but the anthes doc is very picky so one off both nails. Excited for ya. Oh Liz was there too I tried to get in to talk to her but she had alot of appointments today. I could have used some of her wisdom I like the way she thinks. But no time today.........
