Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters

[mdrai 3]

Laura... FYI it was on the news that the 7-7-07 date is VERY POPULAR for weddings this year (lucky triple 7s)... probably even more so in Vegas... I don't mean to be a downer, but did want to give you a heads' up!

Laura

you do what makes you happy to enjoy the day. I am sure it will all work out. How is the house building goin?

Tammy -maybe I am glowing... who knows

TracyKS - they are not as cute as my mom does for me... yes, my mom loves to give me and the kids pedicures, but I did them easily myself. Step in the right direction. SO FOR Water AEROBICS what about a night class at the Y or someplace that has child care. I went at 9am this morning and feel great. Tired but great! hope you can find a way to make it work

hope everyone is having a great day

Ok.. I had my scrambled egg and cheese for Breakfast and it filled me right up. I'm just having my lunch now.. tuna salad with a slice of swiss cheese and a piece of red pepper wrapped up in a large lettuce leaf. I can feel the restriction. I definitely have to wait in between each bite now. Usually I could chow down on the "un" sandwich in about 10 minutes. This time it's definitely going to take the 30 minutes recommended. I put on a light sweater today that I have had for well over a year and could never wear it cause it was so clingy and showed all the rolls of fat. Today it is hanging loose and sooooooooooo comfortable!! I can't wait to see what surprise is awaiting me next in my closet of "I'll be able to wear this someday" clothes!!

Laura..

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are getting married 7-07-07. Maybe you could have a double wedding!!

[TracyinKS 7]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Judy, btw.... on the lose sweater!

I don't know if I have restriction or not. For lunch I had leftover meat spaghetti sauce with 5 small crackers... probably about 1 cup of meat mixture. I am full, but I didn't have anyproblem eating it.... now that I think about it.. I ate at 11:30 and its nearly two hours later and I'm still very full....... so maybe I DO have restriction.

YIKES Laura...... all this petty bs BEFORE the wedding plans actually start rolling.... I would definately chuck the big fancy contracts and do what is more fitting for you and your SOON TO BE HUSBAND! What ever you decide will be great.

Jennifur: I don't think my mom would touch my feet! LOL the only one I can get to rub them is my son who is too young to know better! ROFL!

Congrats on the sweater! I was banded 04-26-07, did not do the pre op diet and have lost ZERO pounds! I was shocked at the fill appointmnet yesterday, I really thought I had some natual restriction and had been eating smaller portions, oh well, guess I need to try harder!

We found a place in Vegas NOT BOOKED on 7-7-07.. they had a cancellation this morning. It's fate.

At Wynn hotel, nice place.

It's all done! WE'RE DOING IT!

[Haydee 2]

Yay Laura! I'm so glad that you found a place. This is going to be so exciting! Can't wait to hear all the details...

Well ladies, it looks like I gushed about restriction too soon. I'm again able to eat eat eat. Am feeling no restriction. This started Saturday. Last week I was doing great. Lost a few pounds, but this morning I woke up and they were back. I am NOT changing my ticker. AUGH! I called my doctor to see if I could come get another fill but she leaves for vacation tomorrow and won't be back until the 23rd of June. Until then I will have to sustain myself on willpower alone. For breakfast I had 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 cup of blueberries. My stomach was growling by noon. I can definetly eat about a cup of food, no problem. bread, chicken, Pasta, everything is going down fine. This really sucks...

I got good news today as well, after verifying I have the 11 cent band which is apparently the best, I actually have lost weight! pounds since the surgery date! I know its not much but, I was so bummed cause I thought I hadnt lost any weight! I'll take 8. eight is great! for now, LOL!

[TracyK 3]

Laura-That sounds awesome!! The Wynn is so beautiful. You are right, that was fate!!

My ex and I got married in Vegas...but on that marriage I took a gamble & lost LOL But, it was really a beautiful wedding. We had it at the Riviera many moons ago. It was really nice. I should have known when I lost the marriage license in the casino that it was a sign from God, but like an idiot, we went and got another one. That is the only place I know that the marriage license office is open 24/7. lol

Well, i survived pizza day at work...that was a tough one. Thanks for the tips on the Protein powder....sounds yummy.

Kat-I got on tacobells website and the regular tacos are only like 140 (or was it 170?) either way, not bad at all.

Take care everyone!

Laura - Congrats... see it will all work...

Lucygirl - 8lbs... keep up the good work - as someone is always saying in here... it is a tool and it is hard work. We have all been stuck ... heck... I'm stuck right now and it is extremely frustrating, so i got up off my fat ass and have been going to the gym every am. I needed to get my head in the right place and hope for the best.

You will find what works for you and know what you personally need to do... just keep up the great work!

[TracyinKS 7]

CONGRATS LAURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucy: 8 pounds is great!

Haydee: your breakfast sounds Yummy.. I forgot to ask you how the trip went?

I just had some pork steak for dinner and I am definately feeling restriction! I also cut up some strawberries and maybe later for a snack I might try a few, but really I think that now I will have them for breakfast! (thanks to Haydee for making me crave the berries!)

DBF had a dinner meeting so he is not home... DS is outside my bedroom window batting leaves off trees.... He keeps looking over at me seeing if I'm noticing him... BUSTED!

TracyK: GREAT JOB ON pizza DAY!

Michelle: How are you doing today?

[TracyinKS 7]

Margi I see you!!! How are you doing today?
