Hey Tamra,

I had Fisher for my orientation. When they came back with the appointments I had Dr Fisher about 2 days later. Of course I couldn't take that day off so they rescheduled me for Park. I really didn't have a preference one way or the other. I know everybody likes Baggs but go by the rapport you have with Fisher. Some people really like him. my 2cents

OMG Riley...I went to Kaiser to do my labs & ekg today and when I got my ekg slip it said 'Obesity'

that was the 1st time I saw it written down, reality check!

Hi all~ hope everyone had a good day.

I'm glad to be able to read about all your experiences.

wow Reggie you threw down...LOL I know what it's like once you get a binge going. The good thing about binges the go away.

Candra, I can't go ay earlier than the 10th, work is too busy to take off. Plus I told Sara I was looking at early Sept so I guess she's got the timing all figured out.

Tina I try to tell myself that all the time...eat to live not live to eat. I'm getting better but it's hard.

I walked the bridge again tonight...I think my walking is the only reason I haven't gained cuz I can't seem to leave that trail mix alone. I'm in snack hell!

Sorry my typing is the pitts tonight

my appt time is the 10th at 9am. I got the card in the mail today. I wish there was something else i could do but I guess I'm taking a whole day off just t meet with Liz.

looks like a bunch of us on tonight...I'm only good for weekends since I work in SF. I like hanging with the group. All of my friends are smaller than me so with you all I'll in my comfort zone.

were back from the festival, was a lot of fun. I thought it ended at 5 but it was 6 so all that fartin around so we wouldn't have to stay long didn't work. LOL

I'd be down for a Fairfield or even a Vacaville meeting spot. :thumbup:

Candra just bite the bullet and call and get that appt around the same time as me. we can starve ourselves together... hehehe

hey ladies...still here. Hubby decided to go get air in the tire or something. the darn festival is over at 5 I think.

Tina you're right about everyone having a story. and your story is a little less scary than the next person. Having a wild story also means you are that much stronger because your ready for everything. I know I've gone through mega drama with my ex and trying to keep the kids out of it made me know exactly what to stay away from in this next part of my life.

Goodness, where is this man! How much air could he be putting in the tires??

yea that would be fun...I know when I called she had appts at 8, 9 & 10am so maybe Candra you can get one of the ones I didn't get.

Ok I'm getting dressed to go to the festival I need some sun.

chat later

oh I tried to email Dr Park but I guess she's on vacation....ill this week.

When I made my goal at home I called to tell them. So I had to go weigh in either at my Pcp or in richmond. After I weighed in at my pcp I called again Then they give you an appt wi/ Liz. Oh and whenever you go to see Liz you need to still be under your goal. Thus I'm still on a mission.

btw on the 10th I will be seeing mother mary or whoever you guys call her and will probably be all blotted.

Candra, yes call the number in the book talk to Sara she's the assistant. I know the 1st time I called she said they take weigh in appts tue-thurs. After I weighed in she scheduled me with Liz and I have to do my labs this week before I go.

So my daughter and I are doing the bridge M, Tu & Thurs this week. probably about 6ish.

Its so nice I think we are going to walk around the art festival in Benicia

hi riley- I'm back up took a 1 hour nap about 5am. I was wondering about the goal weight. Dr park told me 120 but I just found out my daughter weighs 134 and I can look at her and know I don't want to be anywhere near her weight. (thin) I asked Park what should I weigh and that's what she told me. Anyway I think I'm going for 140-150

Hi Ladies, I know nobody is up at this hour. I went to bed so early because I was exhausted, now here I am wide awake. O well.

Chistine you reminded me that I should have emailed DR Park so I went online and she's out until next week. But it's funny I don't see my CM appt on there, wouldn't that show up?

I'm getting a little worried that I'm only .4 lbs below my goal and I don't want to gain. Plus my head is not in it, feeling guilty for falling off the wagon so much lately. I have one more week of exams next week at work so I'll be around a bunch of junk food that I don't want to touch. Plus we order lunch in for the faculty...more carbs. I hate that I don't have more will power.

ok, I'm just rambling....maybe I'll try going back to bed.

Hi Donna, sounds like you were a hit today, sorry I missed it. So who all was there? Where's the picture? I want to see all my slim trim band buddies.

Candra where are you girl? Did you do your weigh in? Do you have a CM appt?

Oh Tina did you order the fit flops or get them at a store?

So glad to be back home...all those extra carbs didn't make the scale budge but I need to get back on program.

Hope everyone is doing good. Behave, no PBjng.

yea Candra! right on!! We are right on target. This is gong to be great. Between the ladies here and each other I can't wait.

This Fresno trip has been all bad as far as eating, I can't wait to get back and on track again.

ok I'm checking VS...did you go up one size or get the exact size? how do they fit?

hmm that doesn't make sense. When I called for my casemanager apt she said she had surgery dates in Aug & Sept like they were waiting for someone to take them.....

Tina do tell about the flip flops. Remember I wanted to get them. I have to admit I have only had those MJ on once. Where did you get them. I am gonna look online now.

Tina- 43 lbs is 43 lbs!!!! you're on a steady pace to not yo-yo so I wouldn't worry too much.

I need to focus on not gaining any of my weight back between now and the 10th. I'm just hanging out in my room now kinda bored, supposed to meet up with co-workers for dinner later.

hi from Fresno! OMG it's 105 and the pool at this hotel is closed for remodeling. and of course the building we're working in is a cool 60.

Anyway, tina I'm sorry you're not 100% yet but I guess everything takes time. Hi Riley WB from camping don't worry, the camping pound or 2 will come off. Nicole that does suck about the job...but everything happens for a reason (you may not see it now) but I'm sure you're gonna look back and say glad that didn't come through then.

Welcome Hot2 this is a great group with tons of good wisdom from every spectrum of the process.

ok, I'm not being very good...there are tons of Snacks around and I'm eating nuts and trail mix like it's the thing to do. Argh...i need to go home!

Candra woo hoo! Alright it sounds like we will be having surgery around the same time. I'm so excited for both of us. Happy B-day to hubby.

I know for a fact it's harder to loose the older we get. It must be a hormone thing, argh.

anyway why is everyone so quite lately? I'm trying to loose more weight for cushion so I've kicked my exercise program into high gear, walked the bridge tonight with my daughter. She's going to be my support person throughout so she's going to go with me all week.

oh Tina hope you feel better. Is this band related?

so here's my update for the evening. I got a call from Kaiser and set my CM appt for Aug 10th. They say they have surgery appts for Aug and Sept. My boss is going on vacation for 3 weeks in Aug so I'll need to push my surgery out till early Sept. I'm ok with that, it will give me more time to prepare. I'm going to try and loose another 5-10 lbs by then. I also need to focus on the strict eating habits so I'll have a smooth transition. I'm sure I'll need all your support and answers to my silly little questions.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday. I've got a busy week; going to Fresno Wed.

hmm that's good to know. I was in the hospital for chest pain earlier this year, they ran every test under the sun turns out it was a really really bad case of gas. So Dr Park said she was going to use those results, but that was 3 months ago so maybe I'll have to do them again.

ok Sara from Kaiser didn't call me back on friday. She had said she was going submit my lab order. Do I have to fast for it? I was think ing of doing it tomorrow.

ok I'm not going to worry myself about what may or may not happen. But I'll tell you I had a panic attack when I got my cpap machine. I couldn't breath and went nut right in the Drs office. I'm ok with pain so I hope I don't have the breathing problem because I'm sure it will be all bad.
