Candra, Thanks for the jeans. I will be in the Bay Area tomorrow so once again i won;t be at the meeting. I plan on making it in February for sure. However the get together is still on. Jes, I would love to see you, I haven't seen you or Candra since your surgery. I don't think there is a back log for Dr.Park. I just wanted it later so that I can drop some weight before going to see her. Tamra, its good to see that you are feeling better. Take it easy! Heather, Tina, Pam, Riley, Maria, Donna and all the Ladies and Gent are you guys going to come to the get-together? I gave two dates so please pick which one will be the most feasible and I suppose we will go with the majority date. I know we are all busy, I haven't met a lot of you and would like the opportunity to do so. If you have qualms don;t worry I don't bite , just kidding! I hope you can all come.

Candra, I am not a 14 yet BUT I will take them, they will be my incentive :-).

Candra, we will have to whip that Cat into shape:smile2:. It would be nice to see you all. I will be in the Bay this weekend so I won't make to the meeting but I have to make it a point to come to a meeting soon, that's one of my New Year's resolutions. Well pick a date and let me know. Jes girlfriend how is it going? I went bust on the fist day of the 5day band-test. I will start it again on Monday. I have to see Dr. Park on 2/25.

Heather I know exactly what you mean. I have been in the slums for a very long time and it is high time that I picked up and got on the ball. Where is your Zumba class? I may go to one at 24hr on Sunrise blvd tomorrow.

I'm here Candra! Glad you got the fill.

CONGRATULATIONS TAMRA WELCOME TO BAND WORLD!!!! I am happy for you. I hope you are doing well. Hi ALL, I am sorry I missed the get together at Pam's place. I would like to take the opportunity to host a gathering at my place again if you guys will be receptive to it. I really miss all of you and would love to meet some of you. I have the first weekend of Feb (6th) or the (13th). Please let me know which one will work for you all. We can chat do movies and games I am opened to suggestions. The Lunch/Dinner will be on me. I know some of you are in the East Bay and maybe carpool might be a good idea. The last time I think Jes and Riley carpooled with Candra. Thanks, Reggia

Happy New Year ladies and Gent. I hope you all had wonderful holidays. I have sort of been hidding I haven't been doing well at all. After my visit with Dr. fisher, I have not been able to pull myself out of this funk! However the good news is that I am ready to get back on track. I just hope I did not stretch my pouch. Well I wish you all the best. I will be around this year :rolleyes2:. Miss you all! Reggie

Hi Maria, I did tuna and very little mayo (keep a little bit of the brine from the tuna to mash up). I also mashed eggs and mayo. Honestly I couldn't do the puree but improvised to get as close to mush as possible. Chew the heck out of it.

Hello All you beautiful ladies and gent! How is everyone doing? Jes you look great in your profile pic. Wow I so miss you guys. The trials continue for me. Tamra hang in there girl, LB is not so bad. We have to learn to control and battle this head game. Stay strong. I should take my own advice lol. Monique you look well. Riley Candra Tina Heather and Donna how are you sassy chics doing? Maria, maria Maria, my advice is stay true to you the menu. My mushies were all protein and that was my saving grace. Have a blessed night all!

Oh Riley, so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your friend in my prayers. Know that there is a reason for everything, as sad as we maybe, it is clear that John has left something special for you and your friends. Stay blessed! Monique, congrats on your weight loss girlfriend. I hope everyone is doing fine.

Oh Sweet Maria, i know you hurt like a mu.@#@$fk, been there lol. They pain will subside, use you spirometer, it helped me a great deal and mini walks. I had the shoulder pain, i bet you get it after you drink? Dr.Park told me that basically the stomach pushes on the pancrease and that causes the shoulder pain. I still get shoulder pains when I get too full, it is a nagging pain.Hang in there. Let us know when you feel better so that we can hook up in Elk grove. Candra call me sometime.

I will love to do Zumba Donna, I belong to 24 hr fit. I can do some sat mornings. Hey Maria, Hope you are fairing well. Girlfriend take it easy and eat by the book I mean it it helped me for months , well until now :-(.

CANDRA, you are soooooo funny LMAO! off the hook girlfriend. Hey I will be at the next Elk Grove meeting. Lets plan the getting together thing. Maria, We are cheering for you. Monique, I think we all are hoping for the best and rejuvenate the following day, but honestly Dr.Fisher did give me a wake up call. I did ok today and plan on doing better tomorrow. Thanks Riley, You know as much as what he said hurt it was true. I think it was my ego that was bruised. So now I am doing something about it again. I think I will go back for a fill again before Christmas or after. What o you all think. Robin said she can get me in a a couple of weeks.

Thanks Tamra!!

Hi All you beautiful ladies and gentleman. Yes I have been away. So I went to my fill and Dr.Park was called to the OR so I saw Dr.Fisher. Well I must say that I was depressed impressed and repressed LOL. He read me the riot act in a very nice way and gave me a rude awakening. Needless to say I did not get a fill. I have gained 7lbs and he basically asked me to go back to drawing board. I was almost in tears. But the bottom line is that I have to get back o track and stop playing around as if I weigh 180lbs LOL. Seriously, I need to get back in the loop with you all, there are so many new people here and often I feel lost (me being honest) I miss our get togethers that I have not been attending. Today I went and signed back up with 24hr fitness and plan on getting my booty there this week. So thanks for hearing my gripe and all. Dona, Nicole, Pam, Heather, Tina, Candra, Chris,Jes, tamra, Maria, oh wow I know I'm missing all lot more names I miss you all!

Monique, take it day by day as t will get better. Riley's head group is what I know I need. It is tough but hang in there! Tina- hope you feel better, boy you have really been through the wringer it seems. Tamra- tomorrow is a new day and you can do this!!

Hi all I hope you are doing well! Hi Donna!! Welcome Ash and Canole, there are so many new names and faces and I would love to meet you all sometime soon. Candra Darling how are you? I totally hear you about the 2.5 ccs I had that for 16 weeks before I got my first fill. It was good for the forst two months and I been down hill since. I am having to do a lot of head therapy these days. The good news is that I am back down to 263 after gaining as much as 9lbs. Hang in there it will get better. Hey Jes Hope you are well. Checking in to see how you all are doing!!! Wishng you all a healthy evening.
