Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness, girls... we were on the 2nd page! I've never seen us off the 1st before! Where is everyone? Off being busy in RL??? That just won't do! Maybe we're all exercising!? Or chewing slowly!? Well, here's a bump, which I really think is the first one for this thread ever!

:faint:

back from Permland! LOOKS GOOD, except she curled it with a curling Iron and then I looked like a fat babara walters! (70's version) so I went home and stuck my head in the shower to scrunch it back! LOL

I am happy with the softness and the size of curls............ yes, yes, I will take a pic and post.... :)

Have a great rest of the day.

OH I had lunch at Popeyes chicken.........

1 Thigh

1 side of Green Beans

1/2 of a diet pepsi (that I brought back to work with me)

I am starting to get hungry now 2.5 hours later.

Hello everyone

first of all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY!!!!!!!

Job interview went great, this is perfect, I know, they are all perfect but I will be sad if I don't get it, the owners are so wonderful and they loved me from the second I walked in the door. Good pay, and did I mention I loved them.

Keep your fingers crossed, I'll know for sure next week

Wow! So much to catch up from just this morning!! Chatty bunch of folks in here...I love it!

Terri-Happy b-day violet sister...have a great day tomorrow with your friends and congrats on the scale movement!

Tracy-I am scared to death to get a perm...you have more guts than I do. Even with a loose perm I end up looking like a cabbage patch doll...can't wait to see the pic! I am glad that you are happy with it!

Jenn-prayers are coming your way about the job...good luck!

mdrai-make sure to put on your list to get enough fiber...stay regular on your BMs...very important, for me anyway!! :)

Judy-have a great time seeing your friends again and congrats on your weight loss too!!

Pam-I do not think there are any rules about "PWI" (posting while intoxicated)

So, the chiro popped me but I am still in agony. I go back Friday, but it won't be soon enough for me!!

Everyone have a great evening and I will check back later!!

Happy birthday Terri!!! Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Tracy--

I have actually 6cc's in my band! She gave me 3 cc's each time. I am very tight and restricted. There is NO WAY I can eat too much. Lost 10 pounds last week with this new restriction, but now for the past few days the scale hasn't moved. I shouldn't be checking every day anyways!!

I am a hairdresser, been doing it for over 20 years, perms are not as scary as they used to be! Although every time I say I want a perm they all say no! But, I really think that the super straight hair is coming to an end and we are going to be looking at more body and or curls.

Have a good day!!

Jane

Night everyone

I hope you all have a good night

Tracy - can't wait to see your perm. You guys crack me up... I don't remember who said it, but I won't make that mistake ever again either! LOL I have wavy hair, ringlets in some places so I thought I would get a spiral to get them all uniform ... .BAD MOVE My long hair was curled so tight it was up to mid neck and never went away.

Whenever i get in a curly hair mood, I get out my hot curlers and it quickly reminds me how my hair takes to curls.

my poor daughter has my hair, even more so since she got her period a couple months ago. she loves it, but that won't last long when she can't do anything with that mess.

LOL! Took me a minute to get that one, Judy!! I thought it was a typo at first. You are so funny. You must be a hoot to sit around the dinner table with!!

THANKS TO ALL MY VIOLET SISTAS for the birthday wishes!! It was a strange (read: uneventful) birthday...funny how they do that as you get older. I was busy getting ready for my trip and DH had an important business dinner so I gave him a hall pass. I ended up eating scrambled eggs for dinner then going to the gym 'til 8:30! My DH made up for it though by giving me 2 pieces of gorgeous Brighton luggage!!! Combo Mothers Day/Birthday/

Anniversary gift. I just LOVE it! We're planning a trip to the Marriott Las Vegas Resort in September (anyone been to that resort?), too. We go once a year to Vegas...wish we could go more, we love it there. This year we're going to hang by the pool more rather than do all the shopping and walking so no need to be on the strip. I can't WAIT!!!

Janie - 10# in ONE WEEK??? Oh, what I would give!!

Jenn - I do hope you hear something soon about the job. When are they going to make a decision? Maybe by Friday?? Fingers crossed, big time!!

Love to you all!! Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

Terry

glad you had a great day! I won't hear until next week, but cross them, I love these people, and it is where I would be happiest working.

I am off to meet my friend for Breakfast, so want some eggs, and then to Walmart to get some storage totes and then the gym... then back home by noon to clean and mow the lawn before I have to go to my bartending class tonight, tomorrow and sat work and I'm taking my kids to six flags for father's day - we have a ton of free passes.

I'll check in later, busy week.. or 2

Hey guys!

I just called my surgeon's office to schedule another fill. They had me for August sometime if everything's going fine.. well I don't feel more restriction, so I called and they said they could get me in July 2.. 5 days before my wedding! LOL So July 2nd I'm gettin my 2nd fill.

Now, I always felt jealous of people who could e-mail their surgeons and office staff.. but I just noticed TODAY that my surgeon now has posted, everyone in his office's e-mail..so I can e-mail them! I was going to e-mail and ask him if he has pics from when the surgery was being done (like Tracy has), and say thanks again, etc.. then I thought... I shouldn't bug him with silly stuff.. So all this time I wished I had an e-mail for them, and now I have it and I'm too scared to write anything!! DOH!

I started PMSing *AGAIN* yesterday.. I swear.. this stuff needs to start regulatin me again.. now I know, being off b/c for just 2 damn weeks throws my system all to hell. I normally don't have my period, I take my non-sugar b/c pills back-to-back (under instruction of my gyno).. and so I haven't had periods in years.. now from 2 weeks of no pills, even though I'm takin them every day now and doing the back-to-back... I'm bleeding every other week!!

Very frustrating, and I noticed it moved the scale in a bad direction. Grrs.

I'm having apple juice and a naner for b'fast..

I am debating doing Atkins diet just till my wedding.. I know Atkins makes me lose weight super quick.. I just don't feel like I could commit to it right now.. no fruit.. bah.

adorable- interestingly enough..I do have port soreness lately.. Well, maybe it's just healign stomach from the first fill last week.. port has never really bothered me, but lately I feel like I've been doing too much to my stomach.. like how it felt right after surgery when you bend down. I kind of just ignore it and go about what I'm doing.. can't stop packing and cleaning right now!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
