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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
