I had GERD before surgery............not even one incident of heartburn since.............I don't know about everyone but for me it worked.........

Hey girls........ Tamra switch it up. And I usually have to get rid of the crystal light and just got with the water for a few days.......listen to everyone here that know what they are doing?? ah I want coffee this morning.........hmmm. I could make hot chocolate here with light soy............don't know if that will taste as good............ ah taco bell last night!! I really don't like that anymore......I thought I did but to salty or something.........anyway upset my stomach........I used to live on taco bell but not tempted now............. So brownie and taco bell this weekend............I have to have a good day today. No more junk.......LOL

YEa Heather we are chatting on YIM come on over!! Heather I get the vitamine water at Sams club. I drink a case a week...........I am a serious addict...........like you guys didn't know that already!! I went from food to water...........what is that about trading one addiction to another............but I am ok with being a water addict........just all the trips to the john are negetive.........LOL Nite ladies!!

Quiet night everyone must be partying the night away!! Totally enjoy the time I spend with you ladies!! We sure are a tight group.........hard to believe most of us only meet 8 months ago and some of us only 5 months ago. Ever notice how those of us who stick tight to the group are doing so well!! Proves there is power in numbers........ Donna how will you top your performance today? Dare I saw you may have to go nude next time.................to top your last two performances!! Oh, oh...........sorry I don't want to ruin the surprize!! *****just giving ya a hard time--trying to make you blush****** Candra-Girl your a beauty!! All that Italian spunk!! I agree with Pam I would love to have her spunk!! Can't wait until your banded and will be so fun to see you pre op.........I hope we don't drive Liz to an early grave. I am gonna be a role model of perfection.........Oh dear there I go just a bragging away..................******smiling a HUGE grin and realizing I do feel above average today and I Don't know how to put a stop to my ME, ME, ME fan club****** :-)

Hey girls, Up and around.......Candra that medicine worked. Geez I sure am tired today. Serious migraine I think work is part of the reason. Pam you hearing me on that one?? Fun to see everyone and Heather I got more clothes............I will sort them out I need to separate the jeans and business stuff out. I do have another dress...........maxi sorta dress I forgot to bring!! I bet you ROCK that blue dress I liked it alot to but didn't get to wear it cause ............I lost to fast!!! Donna you rock!! Another strip tease act today who knew!! I didn't see that coming................finished reading the Colleen Cook book today!! That book rocks........ok so now I get the carbonation and caffiene thing. She talks alot about that!! I am not even gonna taste it flat or not..........geez that stuff is lethal!! LOL Candra you got my favorite overalls and t shirts!! Rock them girl. I finally realized last week they are just to big and your gonna outgrow them quick like I did but totally enjoy them!! You will know they are to big when people can see in the sides of them and see your underwear..........my daughter told me they were so big she could see everything..........LOL. HOnesty is sometimes brutal!! Nicole I just woke up!! Sorry I missed dinner but girl your gonna be moving back to down and citrus heights is close to me...........we will have plenty of time to do it again. Excited your moving back!!! :-) April??? Come join up with us. So fun to meet you today and I have clothes that would fit you too!!! :-) Knowing the girls they told you were to come............ well ok next weekend I have to miss out but I will be jealous. I will call Liz I think Riley was concerned about that...........I will try to remember on monday!! Unless someone else has already done it!!

I should point out that not eating carbs makes you lose faster........but not eating meat causes you to have to be creative to get in your protiens!! Good to see all my girls today!!! I am home and getting ready to crash this afternoon.........my daughter is being obnoxious today!! She needs to take a nap tooo!! She was suppose to be with friends today but well they flaked on her this morning...........sad I didn't make it to lunch loving having a day with no errands so I can sleep and not feel guilty............ok will be back on again in a few hours!! :-) I am NOT feeing above average today!! so there will be no bragging going on today!!

After orientation you need to start working on your 10% weight loss. Try to get as low as you can before you see the surgeon. The surgeon will give you your final weight and if your already there you get to go straight to the CM appointment next. Most people have to lose 10% but some less and some more................ Yep I modified the 1200 diet. I ate no carbs or meat so I lost slower........ we are all meeting today for a support group meeting at kaiser West Point. 11am to 1pm. Come join us!! We are going out to eat after......... stick with this group and your succeed!! Stay onboard and check in everyday!! WElcome back we missed you!!

I have had 8 days PB free.....................Yahoo!! Loving that. ALso not to hungry the last couple of days so that has been nice..........I am surviving this little bullying incident with my band..........like I told Dr. Baggs my band is bullying me and it is winning...............LOL. Riley I know that not hungry feeling and forcing yourself to eat..............ah I so miss that part of my 6ccs. I had that and it was wonderful.............I want it back without the PB'ing............a girl has to hope right?? Ok nite ladies tomorrow

NIcole I agree with Riley just watch this fill and see how it goes..........heartburn and PB in one day............just be careful girl. If your to tight and see Dr. Baggs early I think he only takes out a little if you wait like me and vomit and PB for three days before you "give in" than he is gonna take out alot............so just watch it and be careful. I bet you'll be ok in a couple of days though........ Bring Mike that would be fun!! DOnna's husband is coming so he wil have nother guy around............ Riley have fun. Heather I am bring clothes for you girl........Tamra what size are you in?? I might not make it at 10 so go to your thing ladies if I am not there on time............I have to take my daughter to her friends house in the morning if she doesn't come................I will help DOnna set up if I get there early at all................ Nicole I know some good apartments in the area just let me know what area.........Citrus Heigts has good and bad. STay away from Sunrise mall and anything on Sayonara street...........LOL. Mariposa is a nightmare too...................I can grab you a rent book tomorrow on the way to class and bring it to you............... Jes I am in YIM add me, add me!!! :-) I don't know how to to add people...............aske Donna and Nicole how long it too me to get on last night..........LOL Ok ladies went to a party At to much but less than pre band. I ate a veggie hot dog and it didn't go down realy well. I have some resttriction in there obviously.......but I didn't PB or anything and after waiting a few minutes it all went down...........I felt it go down..........so ah yea not gonna mess with the breads anymore to much trouble............salads, fruit and one BIG FAT brownie..........so see a fill would be nice!! LOL BUt I only at 600 calories before the meal and I bet I didn't go over 1200 since the hot dog is veggie/tofu and on Robins "good list" I threw half the bun away after the first couple bites and it hurt going down.............I think I will survive. I am losing again how strange with no fill...........but ok I am the protien queen again................

NOt sure about tums but almond work really well...........and that should be ok!!

got a pedometer today for sale at target.....this one is a watch so I can't lose it or have it go through the wash like the last one. I have no idea where that one ended up!! Maybe I gave it away with my too big clothes........... Never did find it. The only thing this one doesn't have it a heart monitor which would have been nice but to expensive.............

Loving the ticker Candra. I like seeing where everyone is at!!

I agree Candra your gonna fly since you not that far from you goal............ Oh Jes and Candra. Body pillow. Get a bodypillow for post op. Makes sleeping so much better..........I ended up going out to get one when I was still a bit loopy from the meds.............serious get a nice body pillow you'll love it!!!

Nicole if you lived I would come get you and take you to walmart...........but seriously Nicole your worrying me!!

I need to do the math to find out what percentage of weight lose I have............I know I am way under the 50% but gotta see how close I am..............

One more pound and I will FINALLY be at 50 pounds down!! Half of my goal.............. I was losing with the fill too. Lost 5 pounds in three weeks........but that was on liquids mostly. I think now what I am losing is cause I am eating mostly protiens again. I was on a plateau most of June I guess my body is now catching up with my hair loss............LOL. I have lot alot of hair so it is about time my body gives it up!! *****debating to self about over the top bragging...........but deciding I am well within the safety zone and my comment is 100% true --but reminding self bragging and exagerating the truth annoys others!!! ********* Love ya Nicole and her is to a day free of untruthful bragging!!! LOL. We can hope right??

Oh Riley I feel so much better cause I was a bit naughty and my sarcasm got the best of me yesterday........whew.........I figured I had done something a bit over the top (well ok I did do a few over the top naught things yesterday but did n't get caught yet!!)...........like calling Pam a sexy beast(sorry Pam I have to be honest and say the truth) ..............but I think we all survived that intact!! *******checking arms, legs, face......nope no bruises. think I survived************** ******I did brag about myself yesterday, quite a bit actually and today I will do better..........chanting to self extremely loud*******

Riley your good I don't know how to read that stuff......I will be interested to see how it is going for me vitamine wise. I have been good on vitamins but forget the calcuim sometimes............bought more calcuim yesterday!! Ah no fair today I forgot I am going to dinner tonight with all the people I went to Africa with last spring.........should be fun!! Africa was amazing can't wait to see all the pictures!! So no fair today............

Headed to the state fair later today I think..............my daughter is out of school at noon today!! So we might go tonight. Still not 100% sure about tomorrow. I will let you know.........trying Where is Candi?? I haven't seen her on her in so long. Who keeps in contact with her her anyone??

Headed out the door but good grief thank you wheat thins...............I am down a pound today!! Althought I am gonna try to have a better food day today............ I guess when I am bad I am good..................right Candra?? Thursday next week works for me for lunch but friday is possible if Candra can come...........although we are all getting together for lunch and I will see Jes and Candra and Donna the week after..................lets pick a place and day!!

Tamra I weight twice and sometimes more.............LOL. I have two scales side by side.......one was donated to me...............well I weight on both and if the weight matches than I know it is right...........if not I have to weigh till I get to consistent weights.........my scale is one pound under Kaiser usually..................LOL

Candra girl your like me I love when I am naughty sometimes. i lose...............so of course I never mind having a bad day once in awhile cause it speeds up my weight loss!! Crazy how that works. Oh girl you gonna be at goal soon!!

Yea Nicole I was wondering if your pregnant too!! LOL!! YOur body is going wacko on you like when your pregnant. Nicole that avater picture is really old. From like 6 years ago when I was the same weight I am now..........before I gained the last 50 pounds........LOL. But still that is an old picture. Headed out to appointments today!! Ladies keep on top your fills and watch the tightness. And remember to chew, chew, chew................so will be interested to see how tight everyone is in the morning that was when I had to do the liquids than by noon I was good to go with solids.......... Haven't weighed today but need to. I went wild with wheat thins yesterday............other than that a good day. Riley why do Nicole and I floor you?? What did we do?? We were trying to behave..........oh dear .........sometimes it is so hard!! LOL

I don't much like exercise but I hate to brag!!! Gotta go to bed I can feel the zany side of me starting to surface............bad news!!

Chris you must be tight if your already worrying about what will make it down the hatch!! LOL. I hate to brag ladies but I can eat anything!!! LOL!!! But I won't want to brag...........:-P You all know I am actually hating this and jealous as hell cause I didn't get my fill today!!! wuuuuusaaaaa!!!
