Yea I need to get to bed too. I came home and have been cleaning all evening. I have the "girls" coming to my house for the gossip party on Friday night LOL. I think I'm going to go get some of the cocktail mix just in case....did someone say Bev MO?

Hmmm LOL I guess everyone has their opinions based on their experience. I have a friend getting RNY from Fisher and we debate it all the time,but I've resolved with the fact that she's happy with her decision and I am/gonna be happy with mine. Plus even if I only loose 50 lbs total I'll be happy with changing my eating habits and getting healthy. and I need that constant accountability so I stay on track.

ok who's sheena? I've been looking for the post.

Heather how much more do you have to go? Half way there? I remember your consult....seems you are doing damn good!

evening ladies, just wanted to comment on the Dr talk. I have Dr Park even though I'm not banded yet I really like her. I don't know, I find it assuring when my Dr is a woman. I work at a medical school evaluating students. Bedside manner is key, the minute she walked in the door I started filling out the checklist in my mind and she aced it. I know Baggs is the star of this forum but I don't think sticking with Park will be a bad choice at all.

all right Heather...I need to take my measurements. See it's going faster than you thought. Congrats!

ok I have to tell what I had for dinner. Don't know if you all know but I have a garden, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, all kinds of herbs, mint etc. anyway I have a bush of sun gold tomatoes so I picked about a cups worth and mixed in some mozzarella cheese and sweet basil from my garden. It was oh so good yummy yummy yummy. I told you I was feeling good. When I came home today hubby said "what did you do?" I'm like huh. He says you look like you lost 15 or 20 lbs...whoo hoo it was on and crackin:thumbup:

Happy happy Monday all- quick note, I called Sara and told her I was at goal and she said she was going to send in my labs so I can do them over here in SF and get weighed. Afterwards I can call her back to get an appt w/ LiZ. so I'm on my way...I guess I'll go tomorrow morning if my lab slips are there. I'm sooo excited, I think this is the best I've felt in years. Today I have on a top that I think I've never worn out of the house before cuz everytime I put it on my rolls stick out. I mean I feel thin (even though I'm not) ok I'm in the middle of maham here at work, talk to you all when I get home.

these are the one I got Amazon.com: Skechers Women's Physical Mary Jane Fitness Shoe: Shoes $115 at the store

the skechers were good. I have stairs, I went up and down a few times this evening and I can feel it in my calfs. I'm a flip flop kind of gal so it's hard for me to keep shoes on for too long esp. in the house. I want to try and wear them to work. I also ordered a pedometer from amazon so I can keep up with my steps. Hopefully it comes in the next few days.

I'm gonna call tomorrow...if I have to I'll run up to my PCP and have them weigh me, like 1st thing in the morning.

ok I took the skechers off LOL...baby steps I just got off the phone w/ my cousin she's going through SSF Kaiser. Seems they do things a lot different over there. She's had her, psych, case mgr, lifestyle & nutrition classes already and done all the blood work. still hasn't met with the surgeon yet, that's next week, but she has not even lost any weight?? I wonder if they are going to schedule her? Donna do you know if they do it w/o loosing the 10%?

i think i'm gonna like them. I got the black criss cross ones. The Concord store only had those. They didn't even have the brown ones. She told me I had to go to Arden LOL So after my daughter and I went to el torrito. I had a chicken enchilada and beans didn't eat the rice, no drink just water. I hope I didn't mess up too bad.

hey ladies, just wanted to let you all know I got the sketchers..woo who. Just put them on, black MJ's. I like them. ok gotta get dinner going. I'll let you know how I do in a bit.

oh still under surg goal....I'm so proud of myself. I must really want this cuz I've never been able to go without messing up here and there before. I think the policy of no carbs rocks!

hey ladies, hope you all are having a nice saturday. I started my day with walking the bridge, that was nice. came back and did my hair such a chore. but now it's done and I'm sitting under the dryer LOL. Candra, hope everything goes ok w/ your friend moving is so much work. Nicole, good luck with your party. I'm going to take a look at the website. Don't think I'll make salsa dancing, though it sounds fun. I just don't see myself driving up to sac area to a club on a weeknight. Thanks for posting the group picture, everyone's big smiles, you all look great. We have to plan some thing for the weekend so I can come. It's good to see who I have yet to meet...Reggie, tanifare maybe next time. Chris glad you're having a good time. Tina black or brown MJ's? right up my alley, everything matches everything I own. Going tomorrow for sure. My daughter blew me off today but she's has time for me tomorrow LOL

hey ladies, I should have called in today and come. I had a terrible day...work is the pits. So now they are saying we get 16 furlough days and a 7% cut. Plus my nutty boss tried to jam me up about my work from home hours. Geez I'm doing waaaaaay more than 8 hours worth. still holding -.6 lbs instead of -.8 but that's cool. Thanks for all the positive notes! tina where did you get those shoes? sketchers store? I'm going this weekend, I gotta try them.

evening ladies, Pam best thing you can do is make a clean break. I know when I used to hook up with losers and finally made up my mind to move on I was so happy and end up kicking my self for sticking around so long. So think about how much time your wasting, you could be using this time to get over him. Good guys seem to come from unsuspecting places so spend time on yourself and he'll come along. My motto is believe it and you will achieve it. Ok enough of Dr. Jes.... I'm at -.8 lb so almost a pound under surg. goal. I guess I need to just go to KP SF to weigh in, it's up the block from my office. I hate to take time off just to go to Richmond to weigh in. Did anybody else do their weigh in at a different location than Richmond?

I guess you are right, I'd probably fall on my face too. ok, I'm thinking next week I'm gonna call and make an appt w/ Liz. Seems like getting an appt w/ her may be tough and I'm ready to get this party started. The .6 is after work with my clothes on so that should allow for the different KP scales. btw: Tina, I'm with you on exercise...it's a total chore for me and it doesn't take much to change my mind and relax. Like this morning I woke up at 4:30 got dressed tennis shoes and all, got on my elliptical and after about 15 min I was like "I'm not feeling this" and before the commercial was over on tv I was undressed and back in bed. Hopefully fessing up will keep me from doing that again. Ok I need to get to bed. Have a nice day tomorrow.

amazon had a gang of them, colors, styles....also the MBT's have your seen the flip flops? Those might be cool for around the house.

Tina, what are they called I want to look too

hello everyone, wow you all have been busy typing, LOL Candra, glad your back online and feeling better. Yes, I want to do the Petaluma walk. I guess I better start practicing so I can make it. Where did you get those sketchers? I want some. Nicole, be careful with that duck, I'm scared of wild animals. So I'm holding steady at .6 lbs to go...argh!!! I'm doing good with food and exercise, but it's that time of the month so maybe next week I'll be good to go.

goosh, I'm thinking my hair is so thick I can loose a little...wonder how that will look with my dreads? LOL

happy monday, though it's almost over. Donna, I got your message today, I was in a meeting so I had to hurry and hit the decline button left my ringer on. Glad you got your fill, I know you were looking forward to it. Candra, where are you? haven't heard from you in a couple days. Well I've had a rollercoaster couple days. On the fourth I did OK, meat and salad mostly. I did eat tiny square of a brownie, yummy! Since I'm telling, a sangria! I was so tipsy, haven't had a drink in a while. Yesterday and today much better B/L=4 small chicken strips and cucumber salad D=baby greens w/ 4 oz steak still trying to get the ret of the Water in. Tina, I'm a nacho junkie so I feel your pain.
