meandmyweightloss

Yah hoo Christine......so think of this (at least this is what I did) You have lost 2 Tylers....:scared2: I've lost 34 pds which means I've lost 1 Tyler (my boy) crazy to think that you had a whole little person on you......I'm so proud of you!!!!!! Tina I really think you will start dropping......you probably just needed a routine change and it sounds like you are doing that!!! Regg....I am going out tonight with some girl friends...one id getting married...but tomorrow I have a birthday party to go to around 12 in Elk grove though....I could maybe meet you after or on Monday...let me know

Heck yah we got on that train!!! I even got on...that never happens!!! It was nice and my kids were happy to have mom on!!!! Hey Heather I live in Elk Grove too!!!

I have mine on my IPOD too, wher eyou going to be this weekend Reg maybe we can meet up and I can give it to you!!!!! Hey Tina...I am down 11pds of today.....we took the kids to the Folson Zoo today and I think the walking really helped...I'm down to 212.....that is the smallest I ever got dieting.....it will be crazy to see anything smaller!!!!

I thought the first time I met Robin that she had to have had weight loss surgery too...there's something about her...I don't know!!!! So I'm confused.....are the fill appt the time it says on the card they send or do you need to call and make sure that its not a different time? Also I was wondering about how much is in my band too....right after surgery he made a comment to me "well your nice and tight" I think he was talking about my band....he, he....just kidding!!! I know he was talnig about my band....but I wish I would have asked then how much is in there.....I still get hungey too, but I feel like I have to control myself to stop but that when I do I realize I'm not hungry Ok so tonight I took the kids to get shaved ice and I had one.....xsmall...but it was bomb!!!! I know the syrup probably has alot of calories but it was ssssoooo small!!!! I'm down again!!!!! 213.5..........WHOO HOO!!!! I amde my hubby take a picture of me and I put it up to this picture that was taken of me a few weeks before surgery....I look different...its wierd though......I don't know what I expected but it was different!!! Oh also I totally have the WII....it was the only exercise I could do for awhile becuase I hated exercising so much...but I love it!!!!! I totally recommend it

Hey everyone!! Rock on Christine!!! I'm so happy for you.......I can't wait to see the fill footage!!! I got an appt card in the mail for my first fill with Dr.Baggs on June 12 and it says Richmond also.....I like the Pinole facility though, its so much nicer

I was big with putting flavoring on my things... spices, lemon juice, garlic...those type of things have such small amounts of calories that you probably burn tem blinking :smile2:

It starts at 11 and we usually hang out talking till 1 or 2

You should come to the kaiser meeting, its on May 23rd I think......but it s good and most of us all go to it...its at kaiser point west right off of cal expo

THanks Candra!!!! I can't wait to meet you!!! Next time!! ARe you in Sac? Reggie....Remember the protien question......this is something that was sent to me from the May group I don't really follow them but I get emails sometimes, anyway I thought you find this interesting.... MotherMary, Whoever said the protein drinks make more nausea gas cramps was right. I was banded a day before you and just today I am starting to feel ok with the protein drinks.Anything milky is kind of yuck. Just take it slow till youre ready. I did do some protein waters to get some protein in without the milkiness...good luck! Cali

Good for you Candra.......I'm so excited for you!!! I am only a little over a week post op so I'm probably not the best to answer your questions.....but some of these ladies can!!! I can tell you this,,,,,I still get hungry, but it doesn't take a whole meal for me to feel satisfied...I don't say full because its not really a full feeling I just don't feel hungry anymore. And before I was more of clean your plate and then some girl!!! Now I'm eating 1/3c of soup 3 x a day!!! :smile2:

Ok.....I'm down another pound!!!!! Yah........ I totally agree about the job thing......I really need to find a new job....myine is totally stressfull and through this whole ordeal I have learnd that I snack at work to deal with the stress...its just such a bad market and I really have never done anything else!!!! I've got to do something thought between being a FT Supervisor, taking care of my home, kids and husband I'm so worn down at the end of the week...I have more days off than most but you spend all that time trying to catch up from working 12 and 13 hr days.....I don't know how my new life is going to fit into my old one....... I'm going by work tomorrow in hopes that if they see me now it wont be a huge shock after a month......I don't know.....GGGRRRRRR

Smallerj.....hey good for you!!!! I had surgery last Monday 05/04....I have a job where I sit alot...although I took the whole month I think I could probably had gone back to work...may at the end of this week..so like a week and half....my port still hurts so I would have to get up alot but I think its doable!!! :thumbup: Hope that helps

Christine....My starting weight is in my signature...its the very first weight, it says starting above it and it says it on my ticker...:thumbup: Good to see everyone today.........If it was a bar Reggie, Christine and I would have closed the joint!! LOL Good for you Sing and Dance.......Nicoles right if you start losing right away your other appt will go so fast....I'm suprised they told you who your surgeon would be already.....I had my orientation with Dr.Im on March 3rd.....then I got an appt card in the mail for 03/11 with Dr.Baggs....when I went to that appt I asked him if he was going to be my surgeon andd he said yes as long as I wanted him!!!!!! I agrre Tina its razy sometimes to believe that ride is over already....but a new one is starting!!!!

I was 223 the day of surgery so only 8 pds, but still only a week!!! Nicole I do not mind if you eat at all!! tHank you though...i cooked dinner for the family last night...my hubby didn't want me to because he felt bad, but I wanted to, I want my family to still eat healthy!! :mad2:

Ok...no kids for me!!!! They are going to grandma's!!! I keep trying to change my tracker and it wont save for some reason.....strange......I am down to 215!!!!! WOO HOOO!!!!!

Is anyone bringing kids tomorrow?

Tina...I'm so happy for you!! I swear like I told you before your work and my work are so similiar...I know everyone is going to be asking me questions...but its ok...I think I'm going to drop in one day this week just so when a month rolls past it wont be shocking...... Anyway, I'm glad you first day went well

Riley!!!! Yah......I can't wait to meet you....

Lets do a play date next week...I know my kids would love it!!! Can we do a Mon or Wed....if not Ty can miss a day of pre school no biggy!!! I wouldn't want him to miss all the girls!! :thumbup: That sucks for you and Mike......weddings are hard because you don't want to sY NO....When I got married I had a friend who couldn't afford it and was very open about it, so I offered to pay and then she could pay me back...although she didn't, but whatever!!! Maybe he could ask his friend... What kind of work does Mike do? Christine you have to come!!!! I need your spunk!! He, he Good luck you guys at orientation....you will really appreciate it...I did...I learned alot!!!

So I just realized something......I haven't had any knee pain in days...I didn't even get it coming up the stairs.....wow....you have no idea how amazing that is for me!!!!! I don't even remember a time whne my knees didn't hurt!!!! WOW BTW I think I'm going to bring Abbey tomorrow.......

You guys are the best!!!! Eang Soup for me!!! I love you girls!!!! :frown: Nicole......that's so funny about the TV thing....before I had the surgery I had the exact same conversation with my hubby. I started freaking out about how skinny girls are always the ones getting hurt!!! I also wondered (because U've heard this before) will the same people still like me? You know my chubby friends.....which most of mine are....not all but most......will they automatically think I'm a bitch......I know really friends wouldn't but it happens!!! I'm feeling better today!!!! 1 week post op!!!!!!! I was already out of surgery at this point!!! Funny!!!! I'mdown 2 more pounds which puts me at 30pds down!!!! WOW!!! The most I ever lost since being over weight was 32pds and that was about 2 yrs ago!!! I guess since I don't eat food anymore :thumbup: I thought more weight would be falling off......but I'll take what is coming off!!!! :thumbup:

Tonight I made split pean and mashed it...but made it a little thin to...is was alot like cream soup...but boy did I love it!!!!!
