Hey girls...just a quick note to say "HI"!!...

I am sorta jealous all of you getting the opportunity to meet face-to-face...makes me wanna come too...LOL

Starting to wish I had gotten that third fill, now...not really extra hungry, but just teeter-tottering with the weight...Oh well...Life is still Good!!!

Priss, glad to hear you are doing well...Billy is doing great...had to Iron 3 pairs of pants this morning for church, because they were all too big...couldn't find a pair he could wear that weren't so baggy on him...I am very proud of him...I told him he is looking like a turtle since he now has a neck...(he doesn't have much hair on his head..keeps it shaved short)...

By the way...another lesson learned this week...don't sit in the sun at a softball game without a cap on your head...it will sunburn the top of your noggin...ouch!!!

[Lisa G. 4]

You said it, Ouch! I don't like to do that either. Hurts just to think about it. I'm sorry bout you having to Iron so much on a sunday morning, but proud of Mr. Turtle. lol Since you didn't get a fill at your last appointment, can you get one whenever you need one now? That's an interesting question, I'll have to ask that one this morning.

Don't be too jealous..... you really haven't missed anything on my side. Maybe on lo2us or Sugarbear's, but certainly not mine. lol I'm not THAT special. lol lol And, goersh, lady, I ain't all that smart. I'm graduated sixth grade with Jethro Bodine. lol

I gotta git, see yall later! Have a good day vylnn.

[Lisa G. 4]

Thanks Susan! I got mine in a hurry this morning. appointment was a 9:15 but I got there early, had my fill and was setting in the waiting room before 9:15. I hope this one works! I'm tired of being hungry.

Sharon and Shannon, it was nice to meet yall and actually speak to each other. Sorry we didn't get to talk much Shannon. Maybe, next time. Hope all went well at your appointment. Did you decide on Dr. K or Dr. H?

vylnn, you missed the party. We (Sugarbear and myself) got to have a sip of Water and a peanutbutter cracker after our fills. You know the drill. Man, we really partied. lol Tore the place up. lol You know.......

Talk to yall later,

lisa

Hello Vlynn, I wish you could have been there too. I enjoyed meeting lo2us and Lisa. I got to visit with Lisa a little more since we got a fill and had our treat and waited around a few minutes. I hope all goes well with you. You have been doing so well I am sure you will continue to lose.

Lisa, I enjoyed our visit and it was nice to put a face to whom I have been chatting with. I loved seeing the picture of your little boy, he is a real cutie. I hope your fill works for you.

Lo2us, likewise I enjoyed meeting you. I hope your visit with the doctor and staff was good for you. Did you set up a date or anything? I am anxious to hear how everything went for you. I hope it was all a good experience. Let us know how it went as soon as you have time to post.

[Lisa G. 4]

Mornin Yall! How's everyone this mornin? lo2us.... how did it go? Did you set a date yet?

Sugarbear, how do you feel this morning? Of course being on mushies this morning, I can't how I am yet. I did have a little nausea yesterday afternoon. Not enough to bother me, just that "feeling". yuck. Anyway, better this morning.

Susan, how did your first work day of the week go? Hope it went ok. (I won't say the "M" word)

vylnn, how are you an Billy? Yall still going strong?

Priss, we need a report from you also.....?

Everyone else, quit lurking, we know you are out there.....don't be shy.

It all went fine. My date is set for 6/6/07 and I was SHOCKED that my goal weight was about 60lbs more than I have anticiapted! Evidentally I really DO have big bones...according to the nurse. LOL! I start my pre-op diet on 5/23....the last week of school....those poor kids! I saw Dr. H. It was a short visit, because I really couldn't think of any questions that I had not asked at the seminar. Later that afternoon, I saw my PCP and he offered to work with the PS doctors to do all my pre-op tests and try to get my insurance to pay for something. I hope they will consider it. He also told me that my sleep test suggested that I get a C-PAP, but he thought I should have the surgery and then be retested after I lose some weight before I purchase it.

It was a LONG day, but a productive one. I hope y'all are feeling good this morning.

[Lisa G. 4]

Cool, I'm glad you have set a date. And, I'm glad your PCP is willing to work with them to keep some of the costs down for you.

MY goal weight and their goal weight is NOT the same either. They have me weighing 11 pounds more than my goal. 11 pounds is a lot of weight on my short self. lol

Don't worry bout your kids, they will be so excited about school being out, they won't think about what's going on with you. lol They will be ruff and ready to get out of school for the summer.

You just remember, we are here and have been thru what you are about too, so if you need someone to yell at..... I'm here anyway. I can be pretty TUFF when I need to be. lol Who knows, I might yell back at you. lol

[Lisa G. 4]

Oh, look, there musta been a lot of discussion bout the "rep power" thingys. They're gone. Oh no, just look what I did to my reputation. I'm not on the distinguised road anymore. Yall did it to me! lol

Lo2us, Good for you! I am glad everything went good. I guess you will be heading to the store to stock up on sf drinks and Slimfast. If you like cranapple, Walmart brand(Great Value) has a sf that is good. It is those on the go things that you put in a bottled Water. I heard the grape is good, but haven't tried that one. They probably mentioned some drink stuff to you. During the pre-op you can have carbonated drinks (sf of course). I know you will do well. Gotta go for now. I am trying to help my son with a project, due tomorrow of course. I'll check back in later. Congrats on your new journey. We will be here for you.

[lo2us 1]

I'm rarin' to go. I almost would start it now, but I don't know if it would be a good idea.

Lisa, where did you say you found the high protien Slim Fast? I've found I feel better if I take in a little more protien.

What kind of exercise do y'all get? I use to go to Curves and did really well with it, but it's hard to get there now with a 2 year old.

[Lisa G. 4]

<p>Hi there, ms. lo2us. I know you said you would have it done Monday afternoon... I was the same way, believe me. I found the Slimfast at Walmart. I only found it a couple of times. It's new and I think their distribution is not so great yet. I would think you should be able to find it where fine diet products are sold. lol If you don't find it and decide to get the Protein Powder to supplement, don't get the SOY Protein. Get whey. Whey is much better for you. And like I said, I tried the soy and just about ate the house down every time I tried it. I haven't been brave enough to try the whey yet. I was just trying to be cost effective when I bought the soy. </p> <p> </p> <p>Exercise..... I walk at least 5 days a week, sometimes 6. At least 1 mile, sometimes more. And I use my ball and bands when I get the chance. Time is of the essence around here since baseball season started, so I haven't been as dedicated with the ball as I have with my walking. I like getting outside and walking. That's my quiet time and you know we all need that sometimes. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have restriction this morning!!!!! I hope this fill is THE good one. food just don't look good right now. That's cool !!! Never thought I would sayy that. Lost 3 pounds since monday (WATER) but it looks good on the scales to me. I don't think it's legal to change the ticker just yet, so I 'm not. </p> <p> </p> <p>lisa</p>

[Lisa G. 4]

Sorry bout the above post. I made the mistake of editing. I wish they would fix that.

lisa

[lo2us 1]

Way to go...3lbs in 3days! Sounds like enough to move that ticker to me!
