Hey -- Did any of you watch Oprah yesterday? It was on Big Losers... it was pretty amazing... one gal lost more than 500 lbs! I'm usually not an Oprah watcher, but the commercial caught my eye & I dvr'd it & watched it last night... inspirational!

Good Morning, Violets..

I got to sleep in today. I always seem to need that the morning after I have Ethan all day! I've been doing some projects for the Bobster on the computer all morning, plus getting my laundry started. Kris will be here about 1 and we'll all go out to lunch together. I got half an omelette down this morning. Couldn't do the rest as it was uncomfortable going down.

One of my choir members brought me back a pound of chocolate covered peanuts so my goal for the day is to not eat a one. I had enough last night to last me for several months!! The Bobster said his goal is to finish them off so he doesn't have to worry about them being around. Somehow I don't think that's quite the bandster rules!!!

Michelle!!! CONGRATS on the -65# That's AWESOME!!! We're all proud of you!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Everyone have a great day whether it be CTC or making wise choices.. just remember.. Patience, Trust, Purple Power and WWJD???!!!

Michelle, I meant to tape that and forgot, must have seen the same commericial. Congrats on your 6 month anniversary and your 65 pounds weight loss!! that is great!! I wish I have lost that much since being banded. CONGRATS!!!!

Hello to everyone else!!! Don't feel great this morning, have a very upset stomach. I think it is because my nose has been running so much that last night while I slept it went down instead of coming out!! It is days like this that I hate going to work!!! Plus this morning I have the WEIRDEST client, he gives me the creeps when he comes in. I shouldn't say that and feel guilty about it, but let me just give you food for thought. He likes to dress up in women clothes, and one time he brought me a picture of Katie Couric and wanted he hair to be just like hers!! That is just a small part of what makes him odd.

Have a good one!!!

Morning gals!

Welcome to the group (I forgot the name now, woops.. it was 2 pages back )!

At Cracker Barrell I got some b'fast instead of the chicken (they were out of their chicken thing for the day). Small portion of ham, eggs, biscuits and hashbrown casserole. I ate the egg first, then a couple bites of ham and I started to get the stuck pain feeling.. then hiccups. So I stopped eating, and enjoyed the conversation. Later last night I had a 100 calorie ice cream.

Had a yogurt for b'fast today. Happy to say, last night the scale say 268lb. So I'm back in the right direction.

Well ladies

Remember I got new furniture 6 days ago??? well looks like something was spilled on the couch... and guess what I just found... a pc of gum ... WTF???? I know it was not my dd she doesn't chew gum... and if she does it is my orbit which is white or orange... so She is no longer allowed to have friends in the house until one of them admits they did it or lost gum.... period. I have insurance on it but shit... it is only 6 days old and I have to call them to have it cleaned already. I don't even want an apology, I want them to apologize to my mother, because she bought it and she is going to be pissed too.

so my swelling was starting to go down... and now it is completely out of control again, I don't know if I can even drink Water.< /p>

I am off to get a couple things at walmart... and try to calm down

[TracyinKS 7]

I just finished my lunch..... WOW.... is all I can say... I think I am way tighter than I've ever been....... I am finally forced to eat extremely slow........ (never really had to before)

I actually sat my spoon down between bites......... WOW.

Holy Crap, I might actually see ONEderland in the next couple weeks~

Tracy-- That is so Onederful, you being almsot to Onedeland. Might be your Christams present to yourself.

Ok Girls, I need your input. For the last couple of days I have been having this heaviness in my chest and felt my heart not racing but like it was pumping a little harder. Well today it just seemed to get worse so I told my Hubby about it. I decided not to go to the ER and to just see what it would do. Around noon I couldn't stand it anymore and I got a hold of the Doctor's office and they said to come in at 2:45. They said in the meantime if I needed to go to the ER to just go. So I just got home from the doctor's and told him what was happening. He asked me all kinds of questions, was I nausea, vomiting, sweating, lightheaded yadda yadda yadda. Non, no, no and so on. So I told him some times when I have to much gas built up I feel this way too but this is the first time I felt my heart beating this way. We talked about a few other things and I told him that I was seeing Dr. Malley on Monday. He than said that it could be my band pressing on my organs that is causing this. I said that I was wondering that too. Seems like when I suck in I can feel pressure in my chest and towards my back. So in the mean time he has ordered a stress test to be done. He said he doesn't think there is anything wrong with my heart but he can't tell that by just looking at me. I just had an eco-cardiogram done about 6 months ago. He needs the test done. They are supposed to be calling me here in the next hour to tell me when to report to the hospital for it. We start there and than see what has to be done next.

I told my Husband that I don't want the test done because I have heard that it hurts and that it makes you feel like you are having a heart attack. Has anyone had this doen? Can you tell me about it. I'm not really scared just a little nervous.

Tell me what you guys think.

Isn't it fun, Haydee?? I keep "elfing" different combinations of friends & family!!

Suzie -- I haven't had it done, so I can't speak to it... just want to say you're in my good thoughts!!
