G'morning ladies ~

OK I was down 2 more overnight, I drank a TON of Water and diet cranberry juice and unsweetened herbal iced tea yesterday and was up all night again, LOL . . . . 4 more and I will be back down where I was. I was "good" with carbs yesterday, and fat, and calories (800), logged everything but when I did my analysis it said 90 grams of carbs! Did you know split peas have 40 carbs per cup???? Yikes! I also has strawberries AND cantalope yesterday, so I was way up on my carbs - and that is NOT going to help shrink my liver. So today I am going super-low carb, super-high Water and not worrying about the calories too much.

OK time to work . . . . see y'alls later!!

Hey all just checking in.........overbusy this week trying to get ready for vacation and get my office moved in between.

All this stuff is crazy. Budget hearings. Sacramento County is blaming the State for everything. Pink slips started going out yesterday. I am NOT on the first round of cuts. 85 people were. 20 more than anticipated. It could go up another 20 by the end of the week. Lost alot of good friends.

I did get a "your position is being deleted letter." I guess we figure out what that means next week. I know it is not great but after the final budget on Friday I will know what it means. If they fund 5 more positions than I get to stay, if they don't than............I have no idea where I end up. Could be anywhere. Management (one woman) gets to pick where you go if your position is deleted. Sorta scary cause this woman is not beyond putting her friends in good spots...........power in inept hands is scary!! I have not been impressed by her so I won't be picked for one of the better spots!! :-)

Riley Seeee i told ya:D You will be back where you are in no time:D OH and.. i think the reason we put on like 5 lbs easy is because we are so close.. Because i can put on 5 lbs over night also, then takes 2 days to loose it again... It wasnt that easy when i was heavier.. or maybe it was and i didnt notice it...:thumbup:

Heather girl you are just amazing:DI only lost 50 before surgery you got us all beat! You rock it!

Tina that is good not to get a pink slip but how annoying about your position. Who knows you might be a manager next week.. i hope:D

Hi all - just finished catching up -

Sorry, Donna - can't talk on the cell phone when I'm here (office).

Good news about the weight loss Jane~

Nicole - doesn't it suck that you finally pulled it down and it's all too big LOL - hope you don't get too sick

Hi Candi - good to have you back

Tina - my figners are crossed!

John & Jes - here's what Doc Fisher said:

Yes, I can write for this medication since you were not given it. It is not vital, but might help with some people with nausea associated with anesthesia. This is not proven.

Which pharmacy works best for you?

Dr. Fisher

Gonna pick up the pills anyway - proven or not - if there is any chance that it helps LOL.

Feeling bad about Bridezilla - don't want to back down after 70 invitations were sent out... Got to think of a back up plan LOL

[Desperate1 1]

Oh, Analynne - Congratulations!!! When you meet with Doc Fisher he will tell you how much weight he wants you to lose before surgery - remind him to set you up for a Psyche appt.

[Desperate1 1]

Ha Ha - just got my test resaults from yesterday - here's a surprise.. The Depo shot works - I'm not pregnant.

[Desperate1 1]

Hi all -

I went to Richmond today and saw Robin and Dr. Im. I gave Robin my food log for August and Sept so far - I created it all yesterday at work so it wasn't exactly what I ate each day but pretty close. She asked me what was up with Protein Drinks as they have too many calories - I told her they are 160 cal each, 2 net carbs, 2 gr of sugar and when I have one it is my meal. She said I could have had an egg and had less calories. Jeez if I only have an egg three times a day it won't even be 300 calories. We had a nice chat. I need to try to eat denser Protein. I asked her if she reads our thread on line and she said no - it would require her to register and she doesn't think it's a good idea - something about the hypocratic oath. I weighed 2 lbs more there than at home - but I was down 8 from my June 25 appt. I was 210 at home. Dr. Im was his smiling self. I asked him if I could have a tiny fill. He said he would try. I still had my 7 cc in and he tried to put in 1 cc, but the syringe pushed out .5 cc so I could only get .5 cc and that will probably be my last fill. The rest is up to me he said. The only thing that hurt was the numbing needle. It felt really weird though when he pulled the Fluid out - I felt weird on the right side of my abdomen. I was home by 1 pm and took a serious nap for 1 1/2 hrs before picking up kids. I was out cold. Robin thought my blood pressure was too low - said it could be from low blood sugar. I am giving up crackers of all kinds - the carbs could be causing highs and then lows.

I am on liquids until tomorrow afternoon and then softs for a couple of days. I just drank a Protein Shake as I was shaking and sweaty.

I met a lady in the waiting room today who was hoping to be at goal today - she has lost 90 lbs on her own. She is leaning towards bypass and asked me why I had lapband. I told her to come to this website and do some research. She put her socks on in the waiting room. I had put mine on in the car so I could take my shoes off.
