[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

we are going to find out at the BBQ that Dr. K only has banded Beautiful people!

Everyone I've ever met that is a patient of his - is gorgeous!

Our faces ARE glowing (you're right Mal) and our smiles are huge and lovely!

Dr. K's Bander Beauties~

Go to the general lap-band surgery discussion page and it should be one of the first ones on the site. It is very inspirational if you haven't been on it!

Brandy!

Oh My Goodness! I love your before and after pictues!

You have done so well! You're such an inspiration to me and to so many!!!

You've always been Gorgeous!!!

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! You all look wonderful -- it does my journey good to see your smiling faces every month!

Bandy! Congrats on your bandiversary ~~ you are rocking' that band, young woman! You are doing so amazingly well.

Mal, How's the Buster boy doing today?

I am dog sitting my two Golden nephews while my sister is on vacation for the rest of the week, so it feels like a mini-vacation for us, too. She lives on a lake and my son and I have been all over the place in the paddle (peddle?) boat today. Great workout for the legs. I did 50 minutes on her treadmill this morning and 35 minutes last night. I'm going to try for another session tonight after we fish for awhile. I am doing better food choice wise this week, but I am getting hungry far sooner than before. I am hoping to be down some for the Saturday weigh-in. I'll take anything at this point.

Way to go Anita -- let go of all of your old clothes; you'll never need them again. I'm certain of it!!

My big fear right now in this process == that I've lost all that I'm going to lose. I've got 35-40 pounds to go to get to a healthy BMI and I fear that I'll never get there because I will not be satisfied with eating so little food. (Spoken like a true addict, eh?) My goal weight is ~164, so I know there are plenty of people walking around who are at that weight and are perfectly content with the amount of food they can eat. I need to do some more head work, I know.

Have a good rest of the week, beautiful people!

Mal~ we missed you!!! How is that Buster?? We need an update, please!

Dynamomini~ Oh where, oh where has our Dynamo gone? Oh where or where can she be? (she's in the Bahamas gettin hitched????! Ha!:frown:)

Thanks Woofay & Shelbie~I think my Buster is doing better. I didn't have to take him to the hospital last night because he started eating and drinking on his own (yes, I cried and cried as he started to eat)! He ate my boneless chicken thigh, I gladly gave it to him.

I think your song is GENIUS!:biggrin:

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! You guys are makin' me blush!!! Thanks so much!!

Mal~

So very happy that Mr. Buster is feeling better!!! YAY BUSTER!!!

Yay Buster! Give him big kisses from all the lap band ladies.

Shelbie -your dog sitting adventures sound very fun, and very healthy! I'm sure you'll continue to lose. You seem like such an active person who is always on the go.

Of COURSE Dr. K. only bands beautiful people. I remember that was the first question he asked on the phone. "Are you beautiful? Will you glow? Are you kind enough to be one of my bander beauties? I only accept beautiful, glowing, kind patients. I do have a reputation to uphold!"

Dee - my surgery is scheduled for 1:00 on the 2nd. I would be honored to see your beautiful, glowing face before I'm wheeled away. Hope you can run down.

Brandy -- How did your fill go, did you get one or not?

Mal -- So happy that Buster is doing better. It's no fun when are little ones are sick (animals or kiddos). We sure missed you last night.

Renee -- Where have you been? I still have some clothes for you (3 bags worth).

I did get a slight fill (o.1cc) so just a touch. I also saw Dr. K today and not Tom like I thought. That was a nice surprise. Dr. K said I should only lose 5-10 pounds more. Tom said 20-30 more. I want to lose at least 15 more and the re-evaluate where I am. The number in my head is 27 more, I need to get over that "certain number, certain size" syndrome.

I was going to try to meet up with Sidann, but I am not sure if I saw her or not, she could have been in the other room. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes.

Brandy -- I think you have to be happy with where you are at weight wise. I know that is the hard part for me I keep think I want to be abt 130 - 135, but it will depend more what I look like once I get there. You will know what is right for you once you get there. You look great!!!:rolleyes2:

So I had this fleeting thought that I could maybe arrange to have my first fill on August 1 then come to the reunion. However, I have friends who are getting married the evening of the 2nd, and that would probably be a bit dicey to try to make sure and catch a flight back before the wedding. Oh well. Maybe next year! Or maybe I could come for a fill when you guys are having a RR night!

hey!

That's too bad! Do you think they'd change their wedding date for you?

Probably not!

I can't wait to meet you on the 2nd! You're going to be so cute -- waiting for your surgery! I was a big goof ball!
