YAY La Chica, I am so glad! Now it's stime to start losing, I hope you had your heaviest clothes on this morning, LOL!

You will LOVE Dr. Park, most of my friends up here had her for RNY and she is a DOLL. Jess has her, Reggie has her, let me see I know there are others - she's wonderful!

Who was your surgeon speaker at orientation, and what is your next appt. for?

[LaChica707 0]

I'm excited too!! I just read up on Dr. Park and sounds like she's AWESOME!

Yes this morning I wore my wooden High Heels which is about maybe 5 lbs alone?

I was shocked when I saw the scale but remembered I have my shoes on!

Our guest surgeon speaker was Dr. IM- He was very informative and Funny.

My next appointment is for this Friday to Meet with Dr. Park. I'm not sure what this first appointment is for but from my understanding this is when I really start getting into it, and soo forth.. I want to go to the Wednesday support group but unfortunately that ties into my Hula practice with my daughters.. so Maybe I'll check out the Sacramento one or see what else is nearby?

That's so cool! I do mine on the 25th of every month since Nov 25th. It's awesome to see the progress. I don't think I'll take my measurements for a while though...that may be a bit depressing. :thumbup:

[AudsMom 2]

Oh yeah girls i got another box full of donations:D lol i finally am parting with all my business stuff, now that most of them are too big:) Who knows.. there are some 16s.

[AudsMom 2]

ok finally settling down. I had fish too Nicole, no sides pure Protein. I'm getting back on the band wagon. up 1 lbs focus focus focus. Hey you know what Dr Park put on my visit slip? be at or below todays weight. Well that is 3 lbs below my goal I hope my goal wt hasn't changed. Oh and she sent me another email to let me know I'm still on the schedule :thumbup: I guess she is tired of seeing my name in her inbox LOL.

Analyssa I think Dr Park is pretty cool, but I'll be able to give the full low down next week whoo hoo!!

Candra you need to at least tell bridezilla that you are having a minor 'procedure' can't make the cakes so she can get off your back. Even if you tell her it's dental work, will you run into her in the next couple weeks?

[smallerj 2]

Good evening everyone!!!!! Trying to fimd that time to myself!!! :0

Chris.... little baby booboo........I'm so excited!!!!

Ok...so Dr.Baggs emailed me back today about if I'm to tight or not.....he asked me if I could eat 2 bites and if I was pucking all the time...I said no at first I was but now its just sometimes (like tonight)...he said that once I lose a few more pds it wont be so tight.....I think its starting to get better other than my episode tonight...I did great at lunch...I told him I will wait a few more days and see if it gets any better...

I went and bought cloths at a regular girls store.....I went into the Macy's womens store and the lady helpd me pick out the smallest stuff the had...totally fell off...the lady was so sweet and said honey you can't shop here anymore......it was a weird feeling....so my husband says lets go over to one of the other stores...I was instantly nerves...what the hell..I don't get nervous...I felt so intimadated (sp) I kept telling my husband everyone is looking at me thinking I shouldn't be in here.....he was like no they are not you look amazing...anyway I walked out with a pair of 14 jeans (not plus size 14either!! :thumbup:) there is totally a differance LOL!!!! and a top....it felt so good after I got over that strange feeling....

Anyone else go through this? I am such not a shy person but boy I saw a whole new side of me...strange

[smallerj 2]

I don't know about being a trooper but I sure as hell feel like I'm being tested LOL. It's all good I'm ready for the tests.

Hi Jes - I'm good, you? Glad your stuff is working itself out. Can't post from work as it’s blocked when I try and login. Maybe that’s why I have never posted. Sounds good. :thumbup:

Heard from a friend today who has had a band for a couple years and lives out of state. She has done very well and looks great. She had a couple operations and they had to empty the band, one of them was a Tummy Tuck. She claims amazing results. Hope not to need any plastic surgery.

Trying to keep the 85 pounds off when my wife is out of town is not going to be easy. She is gone most of the next month. I've been longing for food outside the meal plan for months. Just hope I don't overdo it. Long Islands or Rum & Cokes don't help either. I'll probably go and see my doc in November for a Sleeve presentation so hopefully that will force me to keep the weight off.

Night all!

[AudsMom 2]

Candi, yeah i know the feeling. I actually have been getting depressed that i cant shop in torrid or lane bryant. Its weired i was soo excited to get to shop in "normal " stores but i still walk right on by.. Old navy i feel fine in cause they go up to 18.. So i dont feel outa place.. but any of the others..

Anyone notice the skinny clothes are also kinda funky lookin???

I get to go to counceling tomorrow lol, so maybe ill get over some of these issues!

Also let us know about this tightness thing. I was gonna email dr baggs tonight but after hearing that i wont:)

[AudsMom 2]

I packed up mainly all my dressy stuff. Yeah you guessed it thats what was in the box. ALL MY GOOD STUFF. Im liek whoa!!!! There is old navy, dress barn, fashion bug (of course) lane bryant macys, a bran new blue top. The jeans are dark blue! I was like what in earth! I put them on cl for 1.00 each ( you all can have em if u fit) but whatever doesnt sell before the meeting is coming.. It is a GIANT box though... so i hope some do...
