Help with Ticker Factory please, I have created one but can't seem to add it to my sggy.

Thanks Rosey and Christine! I will try to make it to the next meeting. You guys have fun! I think I will try some cream of Chicken soup for lunch and dinner.

Hi Chris, I a taking teeny bits and I think the gas is playing a huge roll in ths as well as the port pain.

Thanks Nadine Rosey and Tina. Rosey and Tina did you guys feel a bit of discomfort when you reached the semi-solid stage, reason being when I eat my applesauce it hurts a bit when going down, is that the funnel effect? Also with the water intake how much can we really have in an hour without stretching the pouch?? Please respond as soon as u can.I want to make sure I am normal before calling the advice nurse :thumbup:. Nadine you will be there in no time 12lbs is a breeze! You go!! Sheena I am prayong for you, you are almost there!!!

I wll post again when I feel a bit better. Once again thanks for all the support!!!

Okay Ladies, Kaiser called me with my appointment for tomorrow and I will be in surgery at 10a.m. :redface:

Thanks Riley!!! I know it's just the brain playing tricks on me LOL.

LOL, Christine, Thanks for the vote of confidence. Call his cell and he will give you the update tomorrow. He is so "chicken" he may not call you lol, so you will definitely have to call him. Thanks Tina, I guess today is it! tomorrow by this time I will be banded YAY!!!!

Candy LOL, OMG I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about death. I am feeling a little better right now as I prepare to take my MOM in the morning lol eekkk! Chris, Candy, Tina and the rest of the Divas, thanks for all your support. I will try and post after surgery.

Thanks Candra! Yeah low carb works like a charm LOL!! Best wishes with it, I know you will be at goal weight in no time.

Chris, You just shifted your weight loss process to high speed lol. You are doing great!Keep up girlfriend.

Thanks Candra! My food log is quite deceiving, because I didn't quite follow the 1200 cal diet to a T. I did lots of protein and very low carb. I had some fruit for a month and did away with it as well. The chicken thing that you are doing is good! Boil it if you can with lots of seasoning. I use a lot of garlic and other low cal spices. Yes I am so excited to have this surgery, I'm also scared. I'm having head trips about death and that is not good. Did anyone experience that. On my way to my classes I saw two funeral cars and freaked out LOL. Tina and Candy thanks for the offer, I will let you know if I'll be in your area or I will pick one up from Health Center at Bruceville.

OMG Congratulations Chris:thumbup:. This has to be the best feeling knowing that you are dropping and reaching your goals in sucha a short period of time. Tina I have to say you looked great when we met the last time. I know your scale will move asap, I think it becomes a bit harder when you are closer to goal. I am now at 298, while I'm excited 180 seems like a lifetime away. We are all doing great. Candra, stack up on protein and lose the carbs. I know that it works for a fact. I tried to follow the 1200 calorie diet, it worked great for a while and I changed it up a bit by giving a large part of the carbs (yes even fruits). You can do it!

Tina and Candy thanks for the offer I will take either of you on it. I will be out of town today, I'm available sunday. Maybe we can meet up somewhere. Do you both live in Elk Grove? I live in Mather. Please let me know your availability.

Thanks Riley!! I will go by the Health Education Office here and see if I can pick one up.

Riley, They didn't give us any CDs. I wonder why not. Well it's sort of too late now! I'll see if they have any here in SAC. Or maybe i can get one from anyone here from SAC.

Thanks you too!

It's all good Chris lol. Hot tubing sounds good!Girl 5a.m we shuld go to bed, that's the time I got up to go to the class.

Candy you will be fine with the shaved ice.Candy you are losing well! I cracked up when saw the portion size cups that Robin gave out. I sure as heck hope we get full off that lol. I really enjoyed the class today. Chris I was there during the time that you got your fill. I left around 1:20. Too bad I wish I knew you were there. Sheena enoy your class, girl it's almost time for you too! hopefully we'll see you at the next meet. Chris please remind me to attend the next Point West Meeting.

I have the WII too and it so much fun the kids love the WII Sports often the do it with me. I like the jogging one, it's so funny if you jog too fast you fall flat on your face lol. But you can get a good work out on it. You may have to alternate the activities.

I think Robin did too! She mentioned that her boyfriend is trying to do the 1200 cal diet hhhmmm????? You can tell from her arms and her badge pic.

Wow, Chris what a day huh? I'm glad it all turned out ok. So I went to my pre-op class with Liz and Robin and physical with Tom. All went well, I weighed twice and both times the scale reading was different 299 and 302 so guess what I will take 299 LOL.Bev had me keep my shoes on to weigh (I forgot my socks) however Tom's assistant had me take my shoes off. Well my surgery has been moved to 5/20 instead of 5/19. I was a bit bummed but that's ok it's only a day :-(. OMG did Robin have GB or LB she so totallly look like it??

Candy, Tina, Pam and Riley it was a pleasure meeting you all and Chris and Nicole it is nice to see you as usual. All you lades looked good and healthy, can't wait to see the results i the next month. We'll be rocking.

You go Candy with your "bad" self. what are you doing different? 15lbs in a week? Wow, it's a good thing keep it up.
