CONGRATULATIONS ASH!!! Girl get some rest. I hope everybody is doing well.

I am here Tina. I just got your message from FB. I am here taking it a day at a time. I am craving things that I never cared about prior to surgery ie coke and cookies. I am trying to battle my demons. Call me sometime. I miss you too!

Thanks to Ali, Lee, Pammie, John and Tina. I really need the support and I am working on staying on track. I couldn't make it to Kaiser. However I hope to see you all soon. Tina I got your message, It has been crazy busy but that should not stop us from staying in touch right? :-). Call me. Hope all of your weekend was good! Mo Happy B-day!!

Hi Everybody, Hope you are all well. I have been away for a while because I am truly struggling I have gained over 28lbs back post-off. I a very frustrated, I know that it is not my band, but my silly head. I have found myself addicted to cookies and bagels where prior to surgery non of these items were my favs. As a matter of fact I did not like sweets at all. So I am desperately calling for help. I found myself in tears and depressed as today was my bandiversary BUT i was not able to celebrate because I have yet to battle my demons. Please lend whatever support you can. I truly miss all of you! Reggie

We made a wonderful team. tell Baby girl she can come over any day, I need her skills. Mo - I miss ya!! get back on track we need to look sexy for the spring and summer and thereafter lol!!!! You can do it. If I can get back on my exercise horse I will be galloping majestically but i am not and need to... John- Hope you are well, you are cracking jokes as usual so you must be well. Bon appetite with the mushies. I know it is torture. Nicole- girl you have four days before you see Dr. Who work that band girl! PROTEIN is all I can say. You will be fine!

Nicole, I hope you had a wonderful time. Jes, Candra, Donna and myself were glad to pull this together. It was great to have Heather over and meet new people. We had a lot of fun I a still trying to recuperate. I had to make another cake for a huge party on Saturday. All is well here. Jes the shrimp was off the chain! I can eat that all day and so can Teiko! Thanks for all the help you guys! So I got a fill after all the weight that I gained after Dr.Park read me the riot act as I danced around the reason for the weight gain. I have tried to be good. I have still maintained the 9lbs loss since my fill. Candra, I think I will name my band Rocky because it is kicking my a..... When I eat the stuff that I a not supposed to it gets stuck, so yes it is working and I am going to make it work hard. I want to be at at least 245 by May my bandiversary. I wish i would be at goal but it is not mathematically feasible. Hope everyone is doing well! Good night

The psych appointment is so easy, they just want to make sure that you don't have any obsessive compulsive behaviors, depression and to know your intention are in line with having a successful bariatric surgery. Relax, you will be fine. Who is your Psychologist?

Heather the food thing will come together don't worry. I am the exact opposite of you I am getting the food thing and the excercise has gone belly-up. We will get this right. I see Dr.Park tomorrow and I know she is not going to give me a fill BUT i do know that i have to see her. Wish me luck.

Tamra at rate you are going you got this! You are playing it safe with your Ix cheating thing not bad at least you don't feel deprived, just don't get happy like i did LOL!

CONGRATULATIONS NICOLE!!!!! HEY AT LEAST YOU HAVE NII (my son) to Play with LOL. I am so happy for you girlfriend!!!!!! I remember our conversation in my kitchen LOL.....:biggrin:

Heather Dear, dust off and keep moving, it happens to all of us. I had a hiccup too on Wednesday but hey.. I did better today.

Candra sorry for your loss! Glad to have you back. I hear you about Rambo LOL, i am glad he is working for you. Tamra, congratulations on your fill and weightloss keep it up. Annalyn you are rocking girl, congratulations you are almost there. Riley good to see you writing. I hope everyone is doing fine.

Thanks Tina I will look her up.

Thanks John, I miss her dearly. Oh John I cook too much tasty food LOL, it ends up in my ..... lol. But I will as you said do it. Thanks again, my regards to Nikki.

I did in the past Tina, but I realized that my issues is not overeating it is the problems that triggered the weight gain. I will do individual therapy and see how that goes. Let me know if you decide to try out. It is funny that we help people in our line of work but we cant do the same for ourselves. There is an African proverb that states " A healer cannot heal themselves" that is so true. Yes Tina I would like her information. Go and get some rest! LOL.

Thanks Tina, Isn't it interesting that our weight was unfortunately the temporary band aid that we put on. I like the twelve step idea. I plan on making an appointment with Kaiser to work out my stuff too! I truly think part of Riley and Pat's success is the Head group/class that they attend, they can chime in with their thoughts as well. I am sure your grandparent's memory helps at times :-). I am doing better, i still get anxiety aout going on the freeway. Thanks for asking. Please don't chill too long we will miss ya. I have a CPS question for you I will PM you or email you on FB so please keep an eye out for it. I wish you the best Tina, these are times that you need people! Let me (us ) know if there is anything we can do. Always remember God is in control, he wont dish out what he knows you can;t handle. These are life lessons.Be well!

Yes Jes, my appointment is on the 10th @1:30 when is yours again?

Heather how is housing excursion, hey there is a 3/2 house at the far end of my street for sale. My realtor came by ths weekend and I had her show me. It is really nice, a pool and nicely landscaped back yard (large). I know you like Elk Grove, just in case you think of the country life lol our neighborhood is nice veryquiet.

Thanks Coco! I used cocoa butter with vitamin E or a cool cloth will help. Heather thanks for responding to my question. I wish I could make it to the Wetlands walk, I have to go to Morgan Hill that weekend, but I will be at the Point West meeting this month. Thanks for the invite.
