I like the new name...I will just have to remember it...I may think you are a new person on here. It's my blonde hair.haha....

Happy Thursday everyone....

My co-workers took me to McCormic & Schmidts for lunch today...OH MY GOODNESS I think I have found a new place that I love. I had the salmon and it was to die for. I could have eaten more of it with no problems. Well I would have had problems but you get the picture. On the top of the menu they had on there..Happy Birthday Kim. How cool is that. Well I felt really special and I loved it...I will go there again.

Anything going on this weekend? Any fun plans? We have another holiday monday which will be nice....I just need a whole week off for a break.

Kim, your birthday lunch sounded really nice!

I expect to get off from work early today, but I don't know if that will be 12 noon or 2 p.m.? I'm packed and leaving straight from work to Princeton, WV to spend the weekend with my folks. I look forward to the trip, but I'm also ready to have the holidays over and get on with the New Year.

2005 wasn't bad per say, but I'm hoping/thinking 2006 is going to be good. At very least, I hope to get banded early next year :)

I pray everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy New Year celebration!

Thanks Kim! I still have a lot to lose but I am thankful for the 50 pounds I have lost. :)

I am so ready for the New Year to start so I can get this gallbladder out of me and get to recovering and being able to exercise again. My Doctor said six weeks of no exercise after this surgery! YUK! I am going to have to eat well and get a fill. :)

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year. And do any of you have a New, New year resolution since we already have the weight loss under control now? lol My New Year resolution will be to spend more time with my kids and go outside and play with them. :D I am going to ditch the weight loss one this year! :)

Angie, outside of wanting a band to help in weight loss, I'm planning on gettting my house organized. I want to go through all of the drawers and closets throughout and organize, clean, and/or otherwise throw out anything that isn't being used.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

You can get individual e-mails, once a day bundle of todays e-mails, or none at all, just read the website and get inspired to get organized. I love to FLY. It all starts with the sink. Go get 'em!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
