Coco girl- Tomorrow is the day..yippeee I am so happy for you. Everyone- I am so bummed I missed saturday. I have been so depressed lately I cant find a job anywhere. I have two potential opportunities temp of course but nothing for sure yet. I tested for Kaiser today. My EDD is running out in a few weeks. So my butt needs to get in gear and find a job quick!! so I am just stressing big time. I ve been noticing I have been wanting to eat more. I went to zumba this morning that felt very good. You all look so great!! so so hapy for everyone. cant wait until feb 27th I am pushing myself to that one.

Hi everyone! I;m here sorry Ive been MIA..but been busy. Sad to say I wont be able to make it tonight my son has a project he needs to work on that is due on Tuesday. So I ned to help him on it he is going to ahve a friend over too. So I need tobe here. Everyone have fun!!! do miss you all very much..I have good news I am now 209 I finally broke not being able to lose the 2 lbs . I only need 9lbs to be at 200 by the 14th. Think I can do it?

Ohh Canolie..CONGRATS on your surgery Wow nexts Tuesday girlie!!! are you stoked or what?!

Hello everyone! Canolie- I'm here, been busy with dealing with stuff at home. I am still 210 going up and down from 211 to 210 it drives me freakin crazy...I cant wait for my fill in March. So my husband just told me we are going to the Melting Pot for V-day..does antone know if I can use my card there? Candra- about the seeds..that's what I do at the movies..it helps I also suck on a charm lollipop. Reggie- I plan to bring along a friend who got banded last year and hasnt found a support group I told everyone about her..she is the woman who didnt know what slimming was and I guess she is still experiencing a lot that I dont relate to becuase so far I have been ok..I am sure I will experience after my next fill. I think she mightbe to tight. She said she can't eat anything without throwng up. I told her she should call her dr. She had her surgery in SSF.

Oh and Tamra so glad you are feeling good.

hello everyone! Nicole I sorry for your loss. I will pray for peace for you and your family. Reggie- can you resend the date of the get together? Candra- all I can say is Yay!! this may just be your sweet spot. I am really struggling I'm thinking of getting a sooner fill date than March. I am always hungry lately. I havent gained but I havent lost either and that's scary to me. Heather I love your Avatar.

Heather- how much is the challenge/ is it at 24hr ?..and seriously I am not felling the love. Didnt anyone miss me too. :wink:

Jess I'm with you I need to go bra shopping too. That'll be lots of fun to all go and have a group bra shopping day. Hey I miss you all sorry I couldnt make it yesterday. I feel so left out.

Hi y'all dorry I couldnt make it today. But hopefully we can meet up with everyone at Reggies on the 6th. I'll be there Reggie.

YAY for Tamra!!

Tamra- I wasnt given any pills the night before. And yes you will more than likely be the first surgery. Don't worry the nurse who called me in was so nice. They first weigh you in and then give you your booties, hair net and gown (so no need to wear panties or a bra) I went in baggy sweats no nderclothes (sorry for the TMI) but it beats bending and trying to put everything on. Then they gave me the pills for nausea and iv and i think that's about it I am sure I am missing something...anyone? then I was walked in to the operating room next thing I was in the recovery room then getting the barium swallow than discharged it was that QUICK. Sorry for the quick breakdown..but wanted you to get a somewhat understanding of what to expect. Yu will be fine cant wait to hear from you tomorrow. Get some rest gurlie tomorrow is the begining of a whole new you.

and yeah the MOM is gross...

Tamra- I know you will be fine. Everything you are feeling I am very familiar with. Know that it will go quick and in 10 days you will feel normal again but a lot thinner. I tell you this is the BEST thing I could have done for myself and my family. Keep positive thoughts and positive will come your way.

oh oh! Jess----HAPPY BELATED B-DAY GURL!!

Hey everyone! Good Morning and happy Monday! especially becuase most of you have the day off. Well I am very sad to say that my scale went up I was at 210 then this morning it was 214!! but I am not surprised I ate as if I wasnt banded over the weekend. i drank wine, chocolate and bacon!!! You can say I ate good but not healthy. Anyway this week I have to work extra hard. Today I am going to the mall with my son so I think I will speed walk today and this evening wih my neighbor then tomorrow hit the gym. We missed everyone on Saturday..is everyone going this Saturday to Point west? Tamra- whoo hoo a few more days and you'll be banded. I am sure you are excited. Anyway it's 7:51am and it looks like I'm the only one on..so Im going to walk my dogs then make some eggbeaters and watch a movie because its cold out today. Everyone have a great day!

Hello everyone! I thought I would share what I plan to bring to Pam's on Saturday. I will bring, Lettuce Tacos. I hope everyone loves tacos without the shell. I figured I plan to make that for Dinner on Sunday so I will bring some to share with y'all. Hope you like. I'll bring the fixin's too Guacamole, sourcream and chopped tomatoes. Pam - how many people you have so far?

Good Morning everyone. Hope everyone has a great day.

Nicolie and Tamra-- GOOD NEWS! I am so excited for you. 2010 Watch out! Pat- I know how you feel but that day will come sooner than you think. And you will be so happy..just the other day my husband reminded me how I was actually going to not go to my surgery that morning I woke uo at 3am and just said I'm not going I dont feel good...MAN I am so HAPPY my husband said No you ARE going! This is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. There was no way I would have lost this weight in this amount of time..and I am certainly not done yet. So good luck everyone. Tina- You rocked this band before and you'll do it again!! You just need t get out of this funk try a new routine...Get moving cut carbs out completely give yourself a quick detox to get your body going...YOU CAN DO THIS! Stop negative talk bring some positive energy to yourself tell your self every day that you can do this and I bet you will.

Nicole so good to hear you are back online! and Pam & Ash I love Zumba lets take a class together. Pam- I go to the gym after I drop my son off so about 9:15am every day lets meet up and work out together. I also do the Zumba at Calvine on Mondays cause it doesnt start until 9:15 call me u know my #. Everyone have a great wekend I weighed in at 213 this morning I think I will make the 200 mark b4 v-day. I am so determined. I have had so much energy lately. dang and on a more personal note I need to get me butt to my gyno to get birth control pills casue my hubby is on me like white on rice!! I told him no kids !! at least for another year. truthfully I do want another baby ut not yet I want to enjoy being thin first!!!! I hope no one gets offended by this. I decided to try to avoid him as much as I can until I get my pills. Love all of yous...

Tamra you lookin fro a job too.... Anyone know who is hiring? I do Admin work. I need a job very soon as my EDD will run out very soon. I just applied fro an EA at UC Davis but imagine they had a lot of applicants.
