Riley I got the clothes and Michaela loves them!! Thank you!! Busy, busy day. Gotta run I will try to get back on later........

Pam it was great seeing you today!! Cute hair I love it!! So glad you can use the toys!! My closet is much cleaner now and I am gonna be able to use it for clothes again!! Great conversation today I enjoyed having lunch an I ate all the bread on my sandwich I was not as motivated as Pam today but my fill has loosened up again so everything goes down again..............LOL B: None L: 3 inch sub sandwich and 1/2 yogurt D: Salad with beans and feta (black, garbonzo and kidney) Garlic bread (yep bread twice in one day) and a couple bite of rice crispy treat, I had to throw it in the trash cause I wanted to eat it all!! I poured my water over the top so it was to soggy to consider after that..........LOL!! On a plateu but ok yea I can blame the bread and TOM. I have to STOP with the bread..............

diet cranberry juice with water. Some people drink it before a weight in because it cleans out the kidneys. Rumor is it keeps the bloating and water weight down. I personally just really like it. Ok I just ate a bit of protein. Four veggie chicken nuggets. My stomach was growling to much. I didn't eat much today so I guess it was time. It has been 6 hours since dinner and I only ate half of a gardenburger. Than more veggie chicken nuggets for breakfast. I think I am still under 1000......but I was way to hungry!! I hope I don't pull anyone else down now!! LOL

how do you post pictures??

Tamra I think hormones. I bloat alot TOM so I am guessing that is inside too. Ok I am going to get my cats!! No fair. I haven't snacked either but I want to still. To lazy to get out of bed right now!! LOL. Jes I hear ya on frugal. Same here, same here......

I need to make cookies so I have something to give away to this year. I usually give something to my unit members at work. I think maybe next weekend I will start that project!! I think my daughter might have a couple friends to give cookies too!! Candra I would love to take your fill but I am afraid of Dr. Fisher!! I think he would talk to me about my coffee habit. I really wish you were getting your fill. THey make a difference. REally sucks and knowing attorneys they order you there than cancel last minute. Seriously try to get an appointment soon!! I am fighting head hunger right now. I want to eat but I don't think I NEED to. I do hear a bit of growling but not so bad I can't wait until tomorrow. Maybe the cranberry juice will quiet that down. Taylor Lautner is on SNL tonight. So I am staying up. My daughter is estatic and I have to admit I like him too. Freezing in the house tonight. Candra I am jealous you have cats in your bed!! :-P I have two beasts here but none of them are paying attention to me and neither are in my bed. Just me and the computer. I went and brought them in awhile back but they got to wrestling and went tearing down the hall. They have this crazy chase game they play where they hide behind furniture and than attack each other when the come around the corner. It gets loud!! I am not as exciting as a game of chase but I do hope at least one of them will come back soon!! LOL

I am working on water right now too Tamra. I didn't get enough today and I am very thristy now. I did good to day. I also have a mini goal that I need to get to as quick as possible. Wouldn't hurt to be down more than goal either. I don't think I can get a revision. Dr. Baggs said I am doing fine just a few bumps along the way. I asked him a bit about it. But he feels that things are going fine. He said I just seem to swell more than most and NO bread cause I have problems getting stuck. Not even toasted anymore. But actually, suprizingly I am doing ok with that. I am only 18 pounds away from being under 30 BMI so I am almost a success story. They would not revise when I am so close to success anyway!! Over all I am down just about 60 pounds less than a year so I have done pretty well. Went to Red Robin tonight and only eat half of my food. Just got full. I have been full for two days now. TOM and I can tell the band is tighter today. I think that is my problem. I can have perfect restriction than it gets to tight TOM. But in order to not get tight at TOM I have to stay to loose the rest of the month. Today nice restriction. Could have a bit more. But pretty good. BUt again I know it is TOM and in a few days I will be to loose again. PAM: I got home late I will call you tomorrow. WHat are swedish cookies?? Where should we eat? I don't know Rancho very well........I am new!!

gotta remember that. I tried alot of things..............I think I was stuck. But how do you know if your to tight or just stuck?? one can lead to the other. Obviously I didn't do more than walking cause nothing burst loose!!! LOL. Nicollie and Tamra metamucil after surgery is a no-no. I use the Benefiber and take some everyday. WOrks like magic and the orange ones aren't to bad. The MOM doesn't work for me I don't know why. Maybe I didn't swallow enough. Awful stuff. But last time I wait for two days and it didn't do anything. TMI I know. I thought the MOM was for emergencies!! LOL. Cranberry juice. WOw you better have a bathroom close. I think it cleans the kidneys out and than starts running straight through............ I am so hooked on this cranberry thing right now.......got some more today.

Ah Riley why didn't you tell me about the vodka?? I know that tight feeling but I think I had three or four days of that before I said forget it.........I tried pineapple juice which sorta works. I have been thinking and I think maybe I got something stuck too the last time I got so tight. BUt it felt like it was stuck for days.........anyway I know, when I get to tight like that I just want to be home cause it HURTS!! Lee I still wonder about the sleeve and if this band doesn't work out I am considering that. I hope this is my last episode with to tight. BUt I have done research and have thought about sleeve. It was not offered when I had my surgery. BUt I do think failed lap bands often have the sleeve. I am just hoping that this band will work cause I don't want to have another surgery!! SOrta did not like meeting the elephant in the post op room!! Have a great weekend all. Candra when are you gonna get a fill if you miss next week??

I switched from Vitamin water 10 to diet cranberry and water. It is suppose to clean out the kidneys............ah let me tell you be close to a bathroom cause you have to go all day long!!! TOM here so I am holding steady. Still need to get down 6 in ..............well I don't know when. BUt sometime in January. I am waiting to get an appointment in vacaville still. They haven't opened up the schedule yet. But I am planning early January so I don't get to lazy!! LOL. Jes isn't a good fill nice?? I love it when I have a good fill. Candra testifying is not bad. You'll be fine. Just don't offer any information not asked and try not to talk to much. THe more yes and no's without explanation the better!! :-) I have testified quite a bit and you'll be fine. Just don't get worked up with the attorneys and don't offer them anything. Be very evasive......................honest when asked directly but evasive!! You'll be fine.

Haven't been hungry today. I guess the waffle yesterday was more than enough..................LOL. Or maybe it was all the cranberry juice today. 110 ounces easy once I mixed it with water. I had Skinny Vanilla Latte Diet Cranberry juice a whole thing of that Brown rice and black beans Spinach Diet hot chocolate

Today is a no waffle day!! Morning all headed to work early cause of course I am behind from being sick........... The rain is suppose to start today and last until next week. Suppose to get bad this weekend!!

I had a fever the last few days so no exercise but I need to get back. Why are five darn pounds so hard to lose??? Maybe waffles and nachos and all the other things floating through my mind?? Head hunger is driving me mad this week!! Candra I hope your cat gets better. I will have to take some pictures of Samy and Lucy. My two cats have become fast friends the last month. I finally introduced them after a year. We had a rotating indoor/outdoor schedule so they only met through the glass door and would play paws under the doors. After a huge fight in which I was the victim of a fly by clawing they are now fast friends. Samy the baby is twice the size of Lucy but she keeps him in line. SHe is 12 years old and when the playing is done she lets him know. THey sleep together every night now.............ah so sweet and possibly scandulous but they are both snipped and tucked......... So now I have two cats in my bed since my daughter kicked them out of her room. Supposidly they shed but I just don't care they are so darn cute together............they talk back and forth to each other and hug when one of them jumps on the bed. Siamese ya know have to have the last word...........darn I love these brats!! ok gotta sleep cause I am thinking about Nachos yet again!! LOL. I thought the cats could distract me but they are grazing like crazy tonight and making me hungrier!! LOL I need a needle cause I think I need a reality fill here!!

This weekend is out for me I want to sleep and get well. I also have my daughter and her friend. They didn't get asked to the winter dance and so they are having a girls weekend at my house ped/mani, movies, mall.........anything to make them forget they didn't get asked. I am gonna hang with them this week cause I am also a girl............and no one asked me to dance either so I qualify right?? Trying to plan something special for them any idea's??

Jes: When Dr. Baggs does my fills and can't find the port he doesn't take the needle out he just moves it around until he hits it. Nine holes....oh dear.......I only have one but when he moves it around I can tell when he is about to hit it and tell him he is close!! I am usually right. Ouch!! DOnna glad you got a fill you deserved it for sure. HOw much did you get?? 6.5cc's. Hmm I hope to get there one day but in the past I just about died at 6cc's. I think when I am down another 20 I might be able to go that high. I need a fill!! LOL!! I know I just got one but I am ready again. I hope to go back after Christmas for another one. I am not down 5 pounds yet but I sure can eat. It is TOM and I am craving sugar and carbs like crazy. Maybe it was being sick this week. Serious I have to stop and go back to the routine again.............I even ate a waffle and it has been way over a year since I did that!! ................. Lee you will like Dr. Baggs!! HE is really nice. Last time I was there he was dressed like a doctor except he had on these fancy running shoes!! I know alot of the time he rides his bike to work so I was laughing!! I almost asked him if he ran to work...........but Vacaville so I doubt it!! I got to journal again starting tomorrow. I am so craving carbs tonight and I already ate...........nachos. Geez I wanted nachos so bad post op an than I got them and they weren't tasty at all but ya know............I want some nachos..........what is wrong with me??? So I do need a fill!! Or a big dose of wellbutrin!! LOL

My daughter has strep throat......so I just figured!! I got medication from my uncle who is a doctor. I am broke this week to but get paid on Friday. I have enough for gas ...............LOL!! I have had the fever all day on Sunday not the sore throat but I am thinking that it is close to being over. I am getting better every day not worse like last week.......... But ah so much to get done when I get back to work!! Only three weeks until Christmas is that right?? Time is flying..........

Ok I changed my ticker..........I was hoping.........but I am firmly at 199 again so I guess I need to just change it................way to close to 200 for my comfort!! :-)

Sorry Riley. I am still home too. I have strep throat but I am on the mend. I figured if the throat is still sore I am contagious so one more day home. Drinking cranberry juice which hurts going down. If I live closer I would share my medicine with you. I haven't eaten much but I am up two pounds. Maybe that is why. Nothing sounds good!! LOL. Also TOM so I will probably go back down. I thought being sick would give me a good jump start on weight loss!! Arghhh..........I gotta get up and eat something.
