Where's Nicole?

[smallerj 2]

Chris this is so exciting, can't wait to hear how it went.

I can't believe you took a picture:biggrin:

I'm wondering about Nicole too.

Oh what time is the hike? Too many pages to search. I have the directions saved on my desktop though.

also, can someone post the items I need again? I promise to write it down. Candra did you tell me you had a list? I don't have a thing. Actually my body pillow came today, still waiting for the other memory foam pillows.

Sorry, Jes, I don't have a list yet... I'm a slacker! I got my clear Liquid Protein shots for the first few days and thats about it - I already have a body pillow. Gotta get milk of magnesia (I keep saying that) some sugar free popsicles & sugar free Jello. I have lots of Decaf teas & broth already. Not really gonna get too much because this will force me to get up and out after the first two days or so. got my multi Vitamins & Calcium already too, been taking them for a while now.

I'm in hell ladies - all these cakes and sugar i'm hooked again and I have to weigh in on Monday with my surgeon - so scared to get on the scale.

Watching discovery health - plastic surgery for RNY patients. The skin is out of control! these surgeries are running about 40K. the ladies are getting thigh lifts, tummy tucks - breast lifts & bat wings removed - 40k for all that. Now, some Docs are cutting long lines down the center of the thighs and some are just cutting in the crease and pulling the skin up - it all depends on the surgeon as to how the scars are gonna be!

Jes, I think I'm still gonna go next Wed to the group in Richmond - hopefully Bev will be back and I can meet up with some of Dr. Fishers peeps to see how he does. Just want to be prepared.... Want to know how many CC's I'll get at surgery and how long I will hafta wait for the first fill.

Oh, gonna get some tylenol LOL maybe I can get some with codine in it (kidding)

Oh I am watching the same show Candra..........Big medicine is great too!!

Nicole is apartment hunting today she was down in sacramento........probably getting back late maybe they found something.........

[smallerj 2]

Candra I'm in the same hell all of a sudden...had an order of McD's fries, what's up with that? My husband didn't want to wait for dinner so he ran out to McD's and on his way out I yelled for some fries and what does he do? bring them!

I'll try and make it to the group meeting Wed, but it may be tough since I'm off Thurs & Fri I may end up working late or something.

[smallerj 2]

ok I'm watching big medicine now....I'm taping it for my family. wow this is deep.

[swrktp 1]

Big Medicine is great!! I love that show..................lap band tonight ladies!! Yahoo..............gotta see the surgery.............

Hey girls, so Bri was SO excited! I told him to close his eyes and open his hands and I put the test in his hands. He opened his eyes and then looked right at me with HUGE eyes and said " Are you serious???" He was SO happy, he's been ready to have another baby since Soph was only a year old. It's been me that wanted to lose weight, then after failing at that wanted to have surgery. He's been SO patient and supportive and I just love him so much.

He keeps staring at me too! He says I look different, lol. When I went out to run errands tonight he said "Be careful with my precious cargo!" I thought that was adorable. <3

So tomorrow I'll call Liz and Dr. Baggs and get that over with, then go to Kaiser and get the urine test done there so I can be officially pregnant and get an appointment scheduled. I need to find out how many calories and Protein the want me to have and if I need to up my Vitamins. This is really happening!

CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTINE.. But i already knew lol:) You just doubted me.. lol.

Ok you will probably no matter what have to eat 1200.. so ur body isnt in starvation. And you will need an unfill im guessing.

So today was fun woke up way to early, drove mike to work, then went apt hunting. Did find one i liked and filled the paperwork out. Then went and printed out his VA info and got his offer letter, and then had him fill his out. We might be moving in on Friday depending on deposit amnt.. I love it!

Kick boxing classes! A gym with a class room to watch ur kids PLAY! 3 pools 3 spas, raquet ball, computer lounge, i am on a golf course. One of our HUGE things we will be in a 2/2 almost 980 sf on the GOLF COURSE, bottom floor. 2 balconies. Pretty nice, oh and another niiiice thing is the parking is 10 feet from our door. So ill know tomorrow.

What else, oh yeah i took the test last week after my blood ones, and well.. it was neg i was excpecting that and hoping for that because i am on an iud and if u get prego on it you have very high chances of miscarraige. I dont want a baby right now.. maybe around the holidays all depends on us..

Tina been thinking abou tyou all day.. Told my friend who is in daycare that cps is shutting she said"theyve been sayin that for years i dont believe it" i said IM SERIOUS THEY ARE.. i gave up lol.

Everyone else i miss you all and candra go to dollar tree for the stuff u have to take before surgery MM... They will also tell u waht to get at the class.

Ok i need to drink some Soup. Im kinda tight. Pb as soon as i have something of bready material. Ie bfast egg and bacon then tried pancake, bam.. it was just slime though, then lunch taco from taco bell didnt go down well... had a piece of auds tortilla and bam.. then dinner great great on rib meat then had a BITE of a hush puppie and bam. SO i guess carbs are out for me:(

What the name of the place NIcole?? Exciting.........

I am headed to a meeting with the union this morning to find out where I fall on the list ane hopefully get some answers on what I need to do.................I was on this leadership committee between the union, management and social workers. ALthough that fell apart with the layoffs I guess we have to discuss the layoffoffs and make sure everything is done going according to senriority. The good thing (i guess) is that I will be able to see the list and hopefully figure out exactly where I stand.

It could be a long morning. I am so in need of a fill. I am up two pounds and it won't budge. Haven't been eating anything really bad just ............I don't know I must be eating more to gain two pounds.........just don't feel like I am eating bad...........I guess more than before the fill though............

[marquint 2]

Good morning my ladies!

Christine I am having sympathy pregnancy, I have been eating for 2 just for you! LOL, I have gained 5 lbs since the day before I left for Oregon, hopefully most of that is Water from eating carbs & getting the fat ol' liver again . . I mean, I have been horrible with what I have been eating, but seriously I have not been eating the 6000 calories a day it would have taken me to REALLY gain that much weight in that short of a time.

So back on track today - even though it is another birthday and there is good food all over this office, LOL! And NO good food at home, I am going to drive across town to Whole Foods at lunchtime today - instead of getting in 2 miles - don't know if that's a good trade-off or not. I can spend $15 but then I have zero $ to buy food before payday 6 days from now!! Grrrrr . . . . I HATE the budget, furloughs, health care costs taking $1300 a month - that's almost $400 per paycheck more than it was a couple of months ago! - and another mandatory 10% pending - union vote today. I HATE THIS STATE
