hey my ladies,

Well- The knee is still terrible! worse than ever. i can only walk for about 1/2 mile now, no running at all. I'm so upset. I was going to get a personal trainer for 10 sessions this next week too, but i think i should wait until my knee is better. i have a physical therepy appt. next monday.

Boo Boo- OMGoodness!! your pics are fantastic. The one with the cherry necklace is soooo cute! I just love love love your style you are such a hottie!

Brandi- Good luck with th e job interview. i hope you get it!

VA- Sorry about the job. i hope something comes your way soon.

steph- I'm so jealous of your PS! I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to see the updates. I sure do hope my plan comes through for this summer. my fingers are crossed!

VA- friends w/benefits can be fun, i had one in highschool, I was like the guy on your end. I didn't like the guy well enough to date him, but I liked the attention, so i used to tell him I wasn't ready for a relationship, blah blah blah. But the moment my husband came around, I dropped that guy so fast and never looked back and broke his heart! Gosh i still feel bad for being so shallow and mean! I'm much more mature now, but i hope this guys isn't playing you like I played the other guy. The poor guy waited around for 3 years for me all highschool almost for me to want a relationship. I fooled around with him and hung out with him almost everyday, but dated on the side too and he never knew, even had boyfriends that he didn't know about. Terrible.

Whoops! I think I have news. I dont know for sure and PLEASE no one PM me regarding this I dont want dh to know yet! I think I am pregnant! I have mixed emotions about this as I have worked so hard and have still have 36 pounds to go. I am on a roll the last few weeks too! BUT a baby is such a blessing and really one of my main reasons for banding anyway. I am just so scared to gain the weight back. I am wondering if I need to get unfilled or what. I am really too tight right now anyway. I will be consuming extra liquid calories if I am. I took a pg test this morning and there were 2 lines but the test line was very light. I am going to retest tomorrow morning or the next day. I have 2 kids but never conceived with out fertility meds. My periods started back about 4 months ago. Before that I hadnt had one for years on my own unless the Dr induced it. I know I started ovulating again from weight loss. I guess I shouldnt be shocked if I am pg, but I still am. Anyone think of some sweet ways to tell dh he is gonna be a daddy again. I am not telling him till I get a few positive tests! (Just to be certain!)

lol sweethot...yep very sure im pregnant either that or theres an alien wiggling in my tum.....lol yep pregnant with what docs describe as good size baby im measuring perfectly for 30 week pregnant (10 more weeks its flying by ,cant wait til next week then its single figures )though i do get comments about size of bump as until i lie down it looks so small but i didnt get big til nearer end of pregnancy with other four.think i have cavern in my tummy where baby hides out .

jill.....yep im totally unfilled but i do have restriction and as baby growing is getting tighter which is hard to get enough in and i have lost weight all the way through which ive been concerned about but docs just check size of baby and my bloods and say all is well but im worried that ten weeks growth and i wont be eating at all,also had two scans and baby growing well,my friend made good point babys being born to woman in famine countries where mother very badly nourished ,im not that bad but could do with getting more in ,i gave up on meat and eat mainly veg drink alot of milk and milky products and take Vitamins ,my biggest problem is the heart burn its really really bad and im finding it hard, its running up into my throat all day and night and makes me feel so sick ,was vomitting this morning very forcefully and thought band and baby going to come up through my throat as baby moves higher up the more uncomfortable im getting ,am going to talk to doctor at next ante natal which is in 12 days time about my concerns but so far so good .

Jill and Nikki you girls are so cute! You both look beautiful. I guess I should add Nat in there too but I already told her that on yahoo. You all look so good and beautiful I'm just so proud of you all! And YES Jill I can tell!

And BABIES!!!!!!!!! ohhhhhh I love babies, I'm still crossing my fingers for my grandbaby. I think they are holding out on telling me until my birthday, its just something I think they would do. Give me the little hint and then the big hoorah as a present.

Jill if you can wait to tell him until Valentines day that would be sweet. They have those m&m's that have messages on them. WWW.MYMMS.COM > CUSTOM PRINTING

You have to order today to get them by 2/13 and they are expensive I think the cheapest ones are $60. OHH I just thought of another idea!!!! You could get the other kids t-shirts that say "I'm the big sister" and "I'm the big brother" and have them wear them when he's coming home. Then see how long it takes for him to notice. Its so exciting to hear you may be pregnant without taking fert.drugs. Thats one for the band! woohoo!

Nikki I agree you don't look prego at all! I was the biggest pregnant woman you ever saw. Seriously at 6 months people were telling me that I looked like I could deliver at any moment. Huge. Which I guess is why I have this extra skin flapping around. Even if I had kept small I still would've had that extra skin hanging. BTW the dress is beautiful and I love the shoes! And it wasn't the bouncing around when I'd lay down, it was the hiccups! My oldest son had the hiccups every night - drove me insane!

Sweet - hon, keep off that knee! If walking is bothering it you need to let it heal. I know its hard and you've done so good with all your exercising, but you really need to take it easy and let it heal. You don't want to have surgery which would mean alot longer healing time. Are you wearing a brace? Just be careful.

Boo - your pics are beautiful - as always - you have to feel wonderful with your weight loss. You look marrrrrrrrrvolous.

Va - keep us posted on FWB - I think even if you don't push the benefit side of it to the "max" you could still enjoy it in a limited capacity. Like the snuggling and stuff. That can be just as nice as the whole deal.

(((((((((((((((BMAN))))))))))))))))))))))) - thinking of you.

Checking in for real this time. Last one was a drive by posting. (tee hee)

Nikkles - you look GORGEOUS! Not like a big preggo at all, but truly beautiful! You were workin that dress girl!!!

Jill - lovely family, and yes, I can tell a difference. The sideways 7 month shot shows off your curves like WOW! Did you post more recent pictures? I think I'm going to take some 13 month pictures today. and do the ole comparison thing. We'll see. I'm not motivated to do much.

Steph - still no news on the baby front? I've got my fingers crossed for you, Nana! I love babies, too! Unless they have diarrhea for 10 days (like DS) and the doctor tells you to keep him home until it clears up (like DS' doc did this morning). So I'm stuck in the house with a typhoid booty baby til Monday.

VA - Ignore him. Tell him you understand he's not ready, and then say "I'm going to pursue some other options" and ignore the sh*t outta that man. He'll be back. Trust me. Remember the guy from work I was seeing? The one I constantly argue with? The one who gets on my LAST nerve? I gave him the ole "I am pursuing other options" routine and ignored him for 3 weeks. He told me he loves me on Tuesday night. Too little too late. But not being so eager/available works wonders. Men like to chase a woman. Give him something to chase. Be a little mysterious.

sweethot - rest the knee. Your running ass has gone from one extreme (couch potato) to quite the other (blowing out your knee from exercise)! I'm so proud of you, girlfriend! I wish I had more motivation to exercise. Being a single mother in the middle of Michigan winter with a hard job is no joke. I'm always exhausted. I think I am going to ask my doc about taking a prescription Vitamin. Maybe even pre-natals. We'll see. But rest the knee. The more you stay off of it, the faster it'll heal. Like you don't know that already! :biggrin:

Not much else to report. I bought some knee high boots. First time in EVER that I could find some to fit. I got a black pair and a brown pair. TOO CUTE! I have about 10 pounds to lose and then I'm going to wear the brown boots with a tan skirt (slit up the back) and a cream colored sweater. I also have a denim skirt I am going to wear the black ones with. I am turning into a lil fashionista! The admin in my department asked me how much weight I've lost and told me how fabulous I look! I told her the truth about the weight, but not about the HOW. I feel bad for lying, but it's not her business. I just said "Weight Watchers." I can't wait to cross the great divide. Only 11 pounds away. I want to cross it by the end of February. That's 28 days away.

Do we have any other team goals set up? I really am trying to hit 185 by April (when I see my gorgeous ex-bf, DS' father). I'd be happy as a kid in a candy store to be 170 by my b'day (July). Maybe I need to JOIN WW to make it happen! LOL Oh, and exercising can only help get me to those goals.

HOpe all is well. Where is Kaydoll? Where is B'man? Where is Annie? OOOH! When I was in Seattle in November, I met Annie - did she tell you? I have a picture of us. it's so funny because neither of us looks like that anymore. AHHAHA I'll check with her and if she agrees one of us will post it in Yahoo. That news is all late. LOL Comedy.

Oh, also, as soon as I get under 200 lbs, I am going to join a local dating service. One of the in person dating services. That way I can say I'm a few pounds overweight. Not BBW or LARGE or any of those other euphamisms for FAT AS F*CK. ((laugh))

Love yall!

Nathalie

Ok girls I am going to start my freaking pitty party before I start my personals! You aren't even going to believe it anyways....

This morning some b*tch hit my car while I was in a business meeting. NO JOKE! She came in and asked me if I had a Jetta, I told her yeah. She then proceeded to tell me that she hit in the parking lot while pulling out, but it was a "little bump". BULLSHIT....she tore up the whole right freaking side. SO far first estimate is OVER $6k. Btw, as you all know I jsut got her BACK LAST WEEK. I am so freaking upset. WTF is wrong with my karma?? Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong in life to deserve all this?? Maybe it is my name, I think Brandi might agree...

Brandi--where are you diva? I miss you!

Jill---WOO HOOO!! I am excited, but I may have to jump off this board. Seems to be too mnay of you ladies getting preggers! lol...I don't want it to be contagious!

Nikki--LOOKING hot baby! How is our little man?

NAT!!! Miss you!!! HUGS HUGS HUGS! Glad you are doing well!

Claud--How is the job hunting? I am gonna spill the Beans and tell everyone you got a place in Chi town!! WOO HOOO!

VA--how is it going my lovely lady?

Steph--thanks sweetie! :frown: Step away from the M&Ms...lol...love ya! :frown:

Nikki...GREAT Pics! You are such a hottie, even preggers! :frown:

Steph....I like the idea of not taking the benefits all the way, just part of the way...I don't know, I'm still up in the air about everything, trying to figure out if I 'fight for what I want' Or 'Play it cool' (like Nat suggested) :frown: Right now I'm kind of on the 'cool' side....so we'll see what happens! I'm going to see him Saturday at a Mardi Gras wine party and then Sunday for a Superbowl party (he's picking me up)...so stay tuned! :eek:

NAT...thanks for the advice girl! :cool2: I'm playing it cool right now, but we'll see what happens! Congrats on getting the knee high boots!! I still can't fit into those yet...but someday!! I am working out a lot more now..and its almost routine!

BOO....OMG! I'm soo sorry to hear about the Car! Maybe its just got back CARMa ;-) and you need to get a new one!?

Well, I've got a bunch of job interviews today and tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Catch ya lovely ladies later! :frown:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
