Nicole - I would definitely check with your doctor regarding your Hair loss - have you had your thyroid checked lately? I still loose some hair each day, but I have baby hairs that are growing back in - some of them are a few inches long.

I am having three guy friends from college and my girl friend from Austria and her 10 yr old daughter over to my house tomorrow until Sunday - I have been cleaning and doing stuff like a crazy woman. I am making spaghetti, salad, and bread for dinner tomorrow night. One of the guys knows I had surgery and I am going to ask him to keep it to himself - I haven't seen the other three for at least 10 years and won't see them for a long time so no need to go there. I doubt anyone will notice I am not eating much anyway. Gosh I wish I could leave work now - I still have so much to do and would really like a nap.

How exciting Pam - old friends! careful with that Pasta - If I recall, we aren't suppose to have it due to the swelling - use angel hair - it's the thinest of all macaroni!

Hi Ladies!! Sorry I got supper stupid busy yesterday here at work.. so I apoligize for not writing back.

Since I'm gonna be on here FOR A LONG WHILE- let me properly introduce myself and give you ladies some insight about myself.

Well- the name La Chica- I'm filipina/spanish and yes LaChica is my real maiden Last name- *interesting fact- I am a great great great great grand daughter of the actual ZORRO from Spain*

My first name is - Analynn (pronounced like Ahhh Na Lynn) some people like to pronounce it in a diffrent way which i'm not tooo found of..

HULA TAHITIAN!! - Every Wednesday Nights in Vallejo at 225 AMADOR street. from 6:30-7:30

I'm not sure what the cost is per month for non residential Vallejoans.. but I can find out. This is definatley NOT as easy as it looks but its soo good for the body and just moving them hips belly and booty! I love it! If you ladies wanna just come out to watch first to see if you would like to join you're more welcome to do so!! Hula is kinda easy.. its when we start doing TAHITIAN dancing .. UGGH.. that's when everything starts to move fast.. I just think its the law of gravity.. you know.. my right butt cheek moves and because of all the weight bouncin or jigglin from that side.. the left cheek automatically moves due to the force of nature... lol..

I have 3 kids total 16 girl, 11 boy, 8 girl.

My 16 year old is an advance Hula dancer.. she's been dancing since 7 and my 8 yr old had been dancing since 4 1/2.. I've been doing it on and off but 2 years ago.. I finally went back CONSISTENTLY. Just by doing Hula alone.. I lost about 25lbs.. a total of 40 all together.. cuz it just made me want to move more so I started walking.. any ways.. ok sorry to go off subject.. hope you ladies have a wonderful day!

Hi Analynn -nice to meet you!

You have an interresting history!

So what is the cost for those of us that do live in Vallejo?

[LaChica707 0]

Hi Candra! You live in Vallejo? KEWL!!

Well for the Vallejoans the cost is $25.00 a month, and if you have kids or other family members that wanna join you.. they give out family price discounts. Do you work out in Vallejo? if so which Gym?..

[Desperate1 1]

I can't get other family members to do much of anything LOL. I belong to 24hr fitness - hardly ever go though - basically just stick to my garage (treadmill) or my evening walks with the hubby.

I just may adopt your secret fantasy!~

I was scanning some new posts on other forums and I just wanted to share this:

I came across a girl "CoffeeWench" anyway she was saying she's so greatful she got the band instead of any other WLS because she had gotten cancer and it was so nice that they could do unfills off & on for two years to allow her to get the nutrients she needed and take the meds she needed while going thru her treatments! Found that to be such a great reason to chose the band over any other WLS.

Welcome Analynn, nice to meet you. I think you'll find that after awhile these ladies make you real comfortable and they help you stay on track.

ok, now for me, my supervisor took me to lunch to Celebrate my promotion and you would have thought I weighed a buck'o five. We went to a Thai restaurant, I was doing good with the meal I had broccoli beef NO rice. Had a minor mishap with a glass of wine, celebration and all, but it all went to hell when I decided (after the bill came) that I had to have the fried banana and ice cream.

Tell me does this get better with the band? I know I’ll still have cravings and the ice cream will probably go down just fine but the fried banana? The band had got to say heck no to that. I know we are all kind of the same with these uncontrollable urges (well mind games) Does anybody ever really master it? Does it mean I have no will power?...Obvioussly the wine has me philosophizing.

[Desperate1 1]

I know I'm posting way too much today but I can't see to get up off my chair - outta here in 20 then I'll go home and nap.

Jes, congrats again on the promotion! Don't worry about the little things - this is why we chose LapBand to begin with - so we can have the most normal life possible with WLS. After listening to these ladies I firmly believe the band will shut you down when it's had enough LOL
