good morning all, I feel you, Lee I'm up a pound too....I think my dinner last night was enough food for the whole day. very small portions but still, lobster, steak, spinach & baked potato. Wonder why I'm up a pound? Trying to romance the hubby, cooked a romantic dinner I put my tree up last night, the kids were disappointed when I said I wasn't getting one so I buckled under pressure. What the heck Christmas is one a year. Good thing is it forced me to clean the dinning room to make room for it. Welcome back Heather! we want to see pictures. Tamra you are rockin yea. And Miss Candra call the good Doc Who this morning. Riley I started crackin up when I read your description of the former #1. Too funny. Ok ladies let me get my day started... elliptical time.

Good morning...just finished 45 min on my elliptical. I so needed it besides walking the malls that's all the exercise I've gotten over the last few days. So good to see you too Monique. You look good too, I know you are frustrated. I was there 2 weeks ago. Shoot for 2 lbs by new years and then another 2. I was only 12 lbs post op when I got my fill. So in reality if you maintain you should get a fill. Wow Beatriz congrats! that's wonderful, 5cc I only have 4. I kind of wish I had one more too. I still feel like I can eat more than I'm supposed to. Plus I've had a little holiday cheer (cocktail) hmm. I've done pretty good almost at my b-day goal. I'm going to be real good for the next couple days before xmas. I have to do real short term goals I seem to do better. Ok, what's up can we get together? what about this saturday? or Tuesday or Wed next week? everyone put in your choice and we can decide on the location after.

Riley obviously you found something to do with your lips instead of eating popcorn..... Locking lips with the bachelor LMAO :thumbup: Ok, I've decided I need to get in the xmas spirit, busy cleaning and putting up decorations. And cooking, I don't think ive cooked since Tuesday:ohmy:

Good morning everyone. Sounds like we all are a having a busy holiday season. Wow Riley how can you keep up? I'm confused between #1, #2 ,3,4, 5, 6 is there a #6? good lawd, you go girl. I was just talking to someone yesterday about eharmony...she's having a blast too. Pam your turn. I know they have a free trial. Candra girl you need to get back to 3-4 small meals. do your 1/2 cup and don't miss your body is going into starvation mode. I've got a jewelry party today.Just so happened given by a mutual friend of Monique and I. Monique hope to see you there. Shhh no band talk :thumbup: Ok, Ladies I'm off for 2 weeks too. Riley can we drag you away from all these men? We should all get together for a few hours. I found a great park and walking trail in Vacaville. It will help keep us on track and accountable. Rock stars....Lee, Tamra, Canolie, getting ready for the band, congrats.

Maria, I think you should listen to your body and make a choice to do or not... Personnaly I think Bev was a little harsh last night. That poor lady left the meeting early with her head between her knees damn near. Did anyone notice? And yes she had RNY and I think that's a whole different thing to the band. Since we are all being honest here, I had a little cup of sake 4 wks out and was fine. Sometimes I have a little wine or even a cocktail when there is a special occasion. I usally can't finish it but that's my choice. I originally said I was going to have my 1st drink at home so I wouldn't be in public just in case. It didn't work out that way but I was fine anyway. I'd say choose something low-calorie and take tiny sips, you'll know when your done. so much for that... I weighed myself this morning and I was down 3 more lbs from last night. meaning I'm only 2 lbs from my b-day goal which is next month. I'll wait another day to change my ticker tho. I'm going to lunch with co-workers today, I should be ok since nobody brought in any Cookies today.

Hey there, good to see you all tonight. Congrats on your weight loss Tamra. one step at a time, you'll get there. It's amazing once you get on a roll. Monique, I know the last 2 months before my fill were horrible. Maybe you can make it up in exercise, but keep at it. My band is really working for me. My chest is really tight. Seems like thinking about food gets me tight. ok, I'm going to go to bed... I'm tired...oh I prefer Jes.

How the heck are we supposed to find you? me like an idiot did a search on your name and got 406 results LOL.....

Monique what class is she talking about? I've never heard of a class besides the support group post op. Who all is going to support tomorrow? I'll be there I want to get focused for these holidays. I'm ashamed of my food today...we had an all day meeting and they ordered pizza in. I had a piece, it was thin crust and I scraped the cheese and ate the top. Then one of the Docs brought in a cake and I had a piece. OMG! what was I thinking. I sure will be glad when this week is over, every meeting or office has some kind of sinful delight calling my name.

MOnique I see you down there...talk to us. How was Vegas?

Riley the one thing I did not notice were rolls so get that out of your mind. Go back a take a look at any other holiday picture you took over the years. I'm with you on the amount of food I don't eat a whole lot but I still eat more than a 1/4 - 1/2 cup. The one thing I do know is I feel my band. I don't feel like I'm gonna PB or anything I just feel like I've been socked in the chest.

Hi Dee, yea I know 3 months is a while. I have a conservative Doc. I'll play it by ear though. I figure I need to make it through xmas too. Looks like you are doing good. we just have to take it one day at a time.

Pam it's amazing how little food you eat. I'm not eating a lot but 2 shrimp? wow. Are you staying around a 1/2 cup total?

very cute Riley you look great. I'm sure bachelor #1 is still just digesting the looks.. LOL here's my food for the day B=coffee, lunchmeat & a cheese stick L=stir fry with ground chicken and cabbage s=tall NF mocha D=left over stir fry

Maria funny how husbands turn into the food police huh? I know they mean well. Mine is always saying "I hope you don't bust your rubber band" hehehe NIcolie good job! Baby steps.. I did 30 min for the longest, I still do on work days since I don't have much time before I have to leave.

Morning all, I wanted to let you all know that Nicole messaged me the other day. She's off this thursday and friday and wanted to get together. Although I wouldn't be able to make it due to work I thought i'd pass along the message in case anyone can go. Hope you all have a great Monday. It's countdown for me, off for 2 weeks after Friday! Perhaps we can plan a holiday get together or lunch.

Hey there everyone, just wanted to check in and give an update. I got my fill last week. So I had 2 cc initially and got another 2 cc so now I have 4 cc's yea!. I've got restriction, not too much just enough for now I can still eat anything just feel tight in the chest area right away and some times before I even eat. The Doc says I don't go back for 3 months so I'm gonna have to work this fill until March. Hope everyone is doing good, I don't see many post... remember it's all about the support.

Had a good food day. Went to the market and bought 4 live crabs cooked and cleaned them and then roasted them in the oven with garlic ... oh so good. B=coffee from home L=Low fat cheese stick and 2 pcs ham lunchmeat D=3 crab legs roasted Ex=45 min on my elliptical. one day at a time!

don't worry Maria, I barely did the mushies. NOt that you are supposed to do what i did. One candy isn't gonna hurt much, now that you've satisfied that craving you can jump right back into it. Hi John. glad to hear from you. You have a looong way to go before you catch up with MJ... hehehe. I hope you get your date soon. seems like they have a lot of administrative issues over there at Richmond. Riley I'm so happy for you, your band and your many men :willy_nilly: Did you take a picture in that hot little dress? Tamra good luck with your weight check tomorrow. Go 1st thing before you eat or drink. Hopefully I can loose another pound before wednesday. I want to weigh in at the meeting.

In the reply box there's an attachment icon...

I was all over the place today shopping..Pennys, TJ Maxx, Marshalls you name it. Good you resisted the cheat Tamra, better than me i have terrible will power. Oh, I'll be at Richmond group Wed.

good evening all, wow I'm back home from 12 hours of shopping. Not much money so I had to be real selective and frugal. I'm still having restriction so that's kinda good. B-coffee from home L=2 mini slider burger patties no bread S=skinny mocha latte D=2 shrimp, 1/2 cup wine (I know) Candra how was your date? the spoken word? Sounds like every things ok, yes? Tamra, Nicolie, Lee, Liz keep up the good work. Make sure you try and get some exercise in Yea Beatriz no worries, Chandra is right I didn't get a fill until 3 months. I'd call the bariatric dept so you can at least be on the list for his 1st available. Well I'm hoping that the rain will ease up so I can get my walk in, in the morning.

am I the only one who has nothing to do tonight? Sitting here in front of the fire a little bored. I had a pc of fish with mayo on it. I know sounds gross but I have to eat everythig with mayo otherwise it's too dry. Candra and Riley hope you have fun tonight.

Hey Hey everybody TGIF!!! Riley you are too funny...I say take the vodka :rolleyes2:. Have fun with #1. I haven't got stuck yet knock knock. I can only imagine. I can't believe this rian... I know we need it but I pretty much have a zillion errands to do tomorrow, not to mention I have to drive in this madness to get home from the city. Yea Pat things have calmed way down here at work exam is over just need to send the scores out and I'll be coasting to new years. Stay dry everyone

I can feel myself being full so I guess that's a good thing. I still have to watch myself because I think I can still eat anything. I've added another ticker....my birthday challenge. I have 6 weeks to loose 7 lbs. Hopefully looking at a short term goal will help.

ok looks like we're posting our meals again.... B=grande skinny latte, sipped all day s=boiled egg L=inside of 1 taco D=3 crab legs in garlic & butter yummo!! way behind on my water, it's hard with the new fill. I'm gonna see how much I can get in before bedtime. Maria, girl get out and walk walk walk...it will help get things moving on out and you will loose too. Do you have a pedometer? Get one if not. Candra, everyone gets overwhelmed when things get screwy so no worries. I sure hope you can make it to your fill it will make you feel so much better. I think it has nothing to do with the weight between these last 2 appts it's total from surgery.
