Tracy - ok should have seen the post before I went to bed...

I was up 10lbs last night LOL... as i'm poking my tummy that is hard and big from the gas and I've had 9 l iters of Fluid and hardly gone to the bathroom. My fingers and feet are tiny so I just laughed at myself

You guys are doing great! So proud of all of you - can't wait to get surgery weight off and maybe start eating lke a normal person. I can't wait to make that Soup

Guess what guys, the counter top people called yesterday, they will be over for a final measurement Monday to make cuts and I'll have counter tops next week. My electrician came and upgraded my service so i can have my ovens hooked upand I just need to grout the floor and the kitchen will be 100% complete next week.

I'm going to cancel my hair appt for today at 11, i'm bummin but i hurt so not going.

Hope you all have a great day

Thank you!! This morning I was lying in bed going should I weigh? should I NOT weigh...so I did. I decided I will weigh if I feel like I have lost or if I feel lucky :tongue2: I hope this whooosh lasts a very long time. Amazing what following the rules can get ya, huh?! :thumbup: GO FIGGER! I am slow... :der:

I pee really well after surgery lol. I remember the revision surgery they said I had to pee before I could leave, so I go to pee in the bowl so they can measure it, and I filled up the entire bowl, it was like a 1/2 gallon! The nurse was shocked.

Take your pain meds Jenn!!

Woohoo Tracy, I will live vicariously through your weight loss. I won't even tell ya'll how much I weigh now, it's depressing. My only comfort is that as soon as Carson is here, I am tightening up the band and it'll all work out.. right?

I picked up poor Gracie from the vet, after we dropped Russ' car off this morning. She was sedated luckily for the enimas, but they said they had to go in and scrape so she is on pain meds.. she's all big-eyed. Can't imagine what that feels like, hopefully Apollo will let her rest.

After we go pick Russ' car back up, someone from Craigslist is coming to pick up one of our old tv's. Giving it away for free, just want to get rid of it.. wish we had someone else to help move the furniture out of the nursery, gah I am so irritated it's still not done!!!

My parents leave for the bahamas this morning for a poker tournament my dad won a trip into, when they get back me & mom will be shopping for nursery furniture. I'm so ready to get it set up!

I have told you all how bad I retain water! I DID NOT LIE.. I was so dehydrated yesterday and I was in the bathroom ALL DAY........ that is why it is so important for me to drink my water...I will no doubt be stuck now, but I don't care.... yesterday the scale read 197 and today it was 190........ still a far cry from the 174 I was a couple months ago.... but it does do my mind good that I'm heading away from the dreaded 200 mark.

This was the wake up call...... that and all of you who are being good....

I'm posting video's on my blog every day of this test... today was no makeup hair in pony tail...... LOL but its real life me.

The lemon tonic was potent.. I did put a bit of honey and two packs of splenda in it to get it down...... now I'm on to my coffee.... I plan to have the Soup all day.

I have a baby shower AND a holiday party with former co-workers...... so it will be a true test of will power to just drink water....... WISH ME LUCK.......I hope to see the 180's tomorrow.

And Tracy you are my hero........ I hope you realize that.

Thanks gals

I think im going to take my Water pill this morning, I'm the same as you Tracyks - i can drop 5bs from drinking. this is beyond, my feet and fingers are not puffy but my belly is so i'll take a pill and drink tons, even though i had iv fluids nothing was allowed in my mouth except a couple ice cubes for 4 days

i might go for a little walk, i have to get the gas to move

i just installed my new wireless printer so i'm going to print the ham and cheese Soup. i'm so excited

I don't know if I was unifilled at all, it was not discussed, but my egg is not getting stuck - going down slow but not stuck, i bet my insides were so swollen that it was causing problems with my band, i have not been able to choke anything down without getting stuck for 3 months and have not had a fill since right before our trip.

For those who made the Soup. You have to use Tofu? or what can you sub for that?

It i so cold out, and how nice my neighbor's son in saw snow blowed for me... and date guy offered to come up and help me out if it needed to be done again today - and take me anywhere i needed to go

Jenn: I was reading the LAwls thread and someone asked that same question. They said you could double the ham.

I had my first bowl of Soup. I am taking some with me for lunch (baby shower) I need to get started on my water.. although I did have 3 cups of the lemon tonic Water, a biggee for me... no diet pop today... no good ass gourmet food that will be served tonight.. (my former boss is like Michelle with the cooking genius gene) this is her annual party.... first time that I've gone since Charles and I have been together. Lots of former co-worker friends.

Anyway.. gotta go dry my hair and start getting ready
