I am holding down the fort right now, just as requested. I hope a good time is being had.

Janet, I have excercise tomorrow morning. I am taking my dog with for the first time. My trainier wants us to run up the sledding hill at the park and then walk down. Repeat 5 times and then jog once arond the park (one mile). I am sure the dog is up for it; I hope I am.:thumbup:

Hey ALL still hanging in there no Dr appt yet just trying to take it easy. Thank you all for all of the advice.

Oh and things are getting busier at work I guess some of you were right they just had to make sure I was right for the job. They are giving me alot more to do now.

1day, I am so glad you are working again. It was a tough transition but I hope it was worth it.

Hey Ladies, Just thought I would check in. I forgot ya'll were going to vegas this week. I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I did the orlando trip.

My first 2 exams I earned a 90 and 94 percent. I am doing really well in school.

Jacob is doing ok on his new meds for adhd. I would like to see him doing better though. He may just need a little bit more.

I went and saw my surgeon today. I lost 1.5 pounds since my last visit a week and a half ago. He talked to me alot today. He said I am not enjoying the success of losing over 50 pounds. I beat myself up and need to give myself more credit. I cried the whole appointment. He brought up my mom and asked about the horrible things she did to me. I really don't talk about that EVER. So I am just raw right now.

We are going to disney sunday. Hopefully we will have a great weekend. I know those of you in Vegas will.

Talk to yall later

[sndycnrd 1]

Hugs Jewel.

You have done a wonderful job and should give yourself credit. Not only have you lost 50 pounds, you are excelling in nursing school at the same time you are taking care of a family. My hat is off to you!

Hi Sandy,

We I guess it's us this weekend. You will do great tomorrow on your run, got your support team with you.

I can run 2 miles now, haven't done it to much this week. I've been having a problem with a tendon in my foot so if I feel like running I do if not I'm walking. Dr says to make sure to stretch before and after. Silly man told me to put ice on my feet after. He doesn't understand how cold I am since losing weight. Ice on feet is not going to happen.

Jessica, way to go on the exams and school. It takes some adjustment on the meds some times. He will do fine when it is right. My DS adjusted good. You are getting him help when he is young. My DS continued to struggle til 4th grade, when I had enough of what they were doing for him. Even did eye therapy, which was very $$$ and no help. You are on top of it.

Laura, how did the job go. Did you like it?

Hi all!! My name is Chris. I live in Keller TX. I just got my date last week. i am having my band done oct 27. I can't wait. I am starting to get nervous now. I am looking for some ppl here in Keller/Southlake area for support. My wife was banded nov 20 2009. She has only lost about 40lbs.

I am a truck driver so i tend to eat out alot. I know you can be productive and do well eating out with the band. The nutritionist i have been dealing with has given me alot of flack for eating out, and has basically told me that i can not after the band. I have asked for her to sit down with me and help and was told it wont work. She has said that i need to bring food with me and heat it up at the places i deliver. I happen to deliver to restaurants so that is not an option due to health code. So i will be forced to only carry things i can eat cold. This doesn't seam reasonable all the time.

Any advice?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris, how exciting for you. If you have been reading you will have noticed that most of the girls are gone to Vegas to meet. They will be back soon and you can ask them all your questions. Janet will help you get it figured out. Check back again.

LauraK - I like your new avatar. Very nice. I wish you were a little closer. I was going to suggest we could meet half way and do a 5K together until I looked on the map to see where St Charles Mich is. OK, even meeting half way would be a long way. :smile2: Congrats on the 2 miles. When I got to 2 miles my trainer said if you can do 2 miles, you can do three. Ya, right. Well, the very next week she proved she was right. We started running and ran for 45 minutes. She said " There you go, you just ran three miles. Don't tell me you can't." OK, this is one time I don't mind being proven wrong.

Chris - Welcome. Eating out is more difficult. It is hard to control the ingredients being used. It is not however, impossible. I hope your nutritionist works to help you with your situation. What kinds of things to you like to eat? Maybe we could suggest "healthier versions". Don't be afraid to ask to have your food prepared the way you want it.

Sandy,

I think if I had someone to run with I could do it. Just not sure of myself. Thanks, thought it was time for a new one. Maybe I'll try again, lighting is not right.
