Oh yeah, by the way. I decided I didn't want that 27 mill. last week. I'm holding out for the 30 mill. this friday!

Ahhh... what a nice Christmas present that would be. Doesn't it seem so unfair that I don't win? (hehe) I would give SO much away... I would do good things! I would even start a Canadian LBT Cruise Fund! Why is it always the 80 yr olds that win?!?!?

I'd really be happy winning something like the "Set For Life" even. That would be cool.

Hey, I just bought 2 set for life cards today, spent $10 and won back $5. I would definately be happy with winning $1000 a week for the next 25 years!!! I am also competing for the 30 mill Mandi, I already have alot of it spent in my mind.

Oh... me too becca!

So.... dagbnabbit (?)!!! I lose a pound for my weigh-in today. 195.4 .

194 would make me able to say I've lost 90. I'll weigh myself again on Friday before we leave town, but I won't count on it. Maybe I'll just fudge it a little and round up to 90 even if I don't make it.

Wow Mandi, sounds like a cool place to work. We will be going through some renovations starting Jan 3rd. Tomorrow the packing company is coming in to pack. Some stuff will go into storage for 6 weeks (during the renovations) some will go to a storage area with easy access and some will be put in the hallway for access at all times (which is most of it). It's pretty funny to deal with people who have absolutely no knowledge of what you do. I had to explain why we need access to some of the inventory, manuals, consumables etc and the manager said "it's all very technical isn't it?". Of course I didn't say anything but I was thinking, we are Medical Laboratory Technologists ....duh.

haha... is that *the* same manager??

Tonight was the big night at the gym. Lauren and I both got congrats cards, stuffed with some moolah! I also found out that I WAS the REAL 1st place! She was 22.75 and I was 23.5 ... the 3rd place lady was 16. I don't know how they get those numbers... something with the weight and measurements. That gave me a little bit of a smirk (don't tell!)

thanks guys, and guess what!?! I saw a 194.8 on the scale this morning!!! Close enough!

Now, someone tell me... how the hell does liquid cause me pain? I made the mistake of trying a Protein Shake yesterday morning. That was a bad idea. It ruined my day, and everything was very difficult to eat. Then this morning, I decide that no Protein Shakes for me... but surely milk would be ok. NOPE. Then I thought my hot coffee would make it all better. NOPE. I drank maybe 1/4 of it. Ordered Soup at lunch, managed to drink the liquid from it, and a couple bites of turkey (after hot tea also!) ... the spit up slime on the way back to the office! GRRRRR!

Mandi congrats on being no 1 and 194.8. You are doing soooo well. About the band, it can be so finicky. The good news is that it is temporary so hope you will feel better soon.

      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.
