Candra Congratulations girl!!

Tell me did you set up the appointment with her first b4 getting all you labs done? I made it to my goal weight required by Baggs. so do I just call Kaiser now to make an appt with the case Manager? Not to sure how it works.

How exciting Candra - the next month before surgery will fly by. I left work at 12:30 today to meet my parents and kids at Roseville Toyota - my dad traded in my van and bought my mom a new car and now I have her car. It has half the miles on it that my van did and is in much better condition. First time I have driven a car since before Tristan was born and he will be 15 next week. We stopped by and saw my fertility doctor as we were near there - I just love that man - he is so cute and gives the best bear hugs - I got four of them while we were there. I have known him for 17 years and he was my doctor for me getting pregnant for all three kids. I seriously had a crush on him - even though every time I saw him I was in the stirrups. :ohmy: I am trying to do laundry, boil potatoes, and get ready for camping on Friday.

Yea I laughed about it alot the first few times I listend to it..........ya know......" the wonderful, caring surgeon who is very skilled and helpful".......will now slice you open!!! LOL. Kaiser propoghanda I called it!!

Of course I added the last part!! But after a couple of times listening to it..............I was so sold on it. Totally calmed my nerves cause that last week pre op is anxiety haven. I went back and for............I want it, I don't.........but that CD ah.............totally chilled me out. Seriously put me right to sleep too.

I had it playing during surgery on my ipod and I still listen to it when I can't sleep some night...........I do the affirmations now which works for anything.........

Reggie next weekend I have my 14 year old daughter. I could come but not sure about her.............I could try to find a friend for her ...........will there be other kids there?

Listening to it now!!!! I see i will need to listen again right before i go to bed.

The Sac group is the 4th Saturday - I think it's the 22nd this month so either Saturday works for me!

Yeah, heather - don't do the program if you have bad knees!

thanks Pam! Kinda hard to be flirty when your legs are in the stirrups - LOL

Thanks Maria! I think it just depends on your doctor - Liz said it doesn't matter that my first set of labs will be over 30 days but the next set and pregnancy test need to be timed - Pregnancy test two weeks prior and labs within 30 days! I had done my initial labs before i met with liz because Dr. fisher ordered them first. She said this is a competely different set.

what a calming, relaxing voice this woman has

[Desperate1 1]

Maria - email Dr. Baggs and let him know you hit goal so he can order your labs then call Sarah and make an appt with "Beth" as they called her today LOL

[Desperate1 1]

haha Tina - I thought you were kidding, this woman really is talking bout slowing down my blood & putting my body parts back together. I guess it's not what you say sometimes, it's the tone of the voice. LMAO

[swrktp 1]

LOL!! I thought it was funny until I realized how much it calmed me down!! Yep they do say some funny things and i was like..............OMG are your serious!! That sounds awful..............but I don't know puts you right to sleep!!

[Desperate1 1]

Ok, so now I know what I'm going to listen to so i can go to sleep when my husband is playing those damn war zone games in surround sound on the other side of my bedroom wall at midnight!

so, Nicole, I guess the 4 hours of sleep our husbands need at night is Navy training!

Oh, and those seven jeans I had on yesterday, my husband says I'm not alloud to wear them out with him again - they have a saggy butt. Heather & Tamra - I have two pair of seven jeans in size 16 - I will save them for you - don't get it twisted - I'm still a 16 or 18 but these are stretchy.

Reggie, are you a 16 or 14?

[marquint 2]

hey ladies!

Candra whoo-hooooooo sept 14th! U got the month I wanted mine, cause I am on vacation lol, but I doubt it wil happen. My goal is to have the weight off by September, and hopefully be done by October!

How is everyone doing? After my coffee @ lunch I never ate again until dinner, I was sooo full... I had some soda tho =X

[Desperate1 1]

Oh, Tamra - back away from the carbonation - Iwas so hungry after my appt today i almost got a diet coke with my chicken - I caught myself LOL

Boy my band is not happy tonight - I had 7 wheat thins and a laughing cow wedge for Breakfast - no problem, then a Protein Drink and a small banana for lunch - little bit uncomfortable after eating the banana, tried a small amount of spaghetti noodles with butter and parmesan for dinner - ate half of it and gave it to my daughter, went out and watered flowers, came in a pbd the noodles. I guess that is why they say no Pasta. I just ate a slider food - small ice cream sandwich.

Need to get back to making my food for a few days ahead of time. Guess why this is a learning process.

[Desperate1 1]

Yes, Pammie - I would definately agree that this is a learning process!

[Desperate1 1]

Ok, ladies, gonna go do the dishes, bathe and hit the hay! TTL

THANKS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP - I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU! FOR THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE I "BELONG" AND AM WHERE I NEED TO BE!!! YOU LADIES ARE FANTASTIC!
