CoCo - no problem - the more the merrier. I will PM phone numbers just in case you get lost. Sorry about the fill, but I didn't expect one at my 6 wk check up and guess what - I go back for my 12 wk on 4/29 and she said that would be my first fill - so we may do this together! Don't want to talk about your moving - completely understand but completely sad too! I want to drop 8 lbs by then - I think that is doable in 6 weeks. Especially if I don't snack - which I didn't do yesterday or today. Although I did have too many ribs at dinner - boy they are my weakness!

Ah Nicole! We're going to miss you! (But I'm way excited for you!) Does this mean you have to pack and move the house by yourself of is husband coming home to help?

I got my first fill at my 6 wk appt but since I was at zero it took me to 4 ccs. Nowadays they seem to give you 2 or 3 ccs at surgery so that would make sense that you wouldn't get a fill at 6 wks. I think maybe they don't want you so tight that soon as you haven't been eating completely solids that long.

So you are moving in like 6 weeks Nicole - wow that is fast - what do they think at work? I'll miss you - but at least you will be online. Do they have bariatric docs anywhere close to where you are moving?

My dinner was a hit - my son made a cake for my parents too - I didn't even try the cake as I have gotten stuck on just one bite before - I did have a lick of frosting though.

WE hate moving but something always makes it go that way lol. I really dont have anything holding us back here ya know. ANyways I will miss each and everyone of you.

Pam sorry I didnt call you I was so busy running erronds I forgot and by the time I got home I was pooped. I am going to Manteca in the mid afternoon SUnday maybe I can stop on my way in or out??? Let me know what works for you. They are 28 right?

Nicole - the drinks are $25. I don't have any plans on Sunday so give me a call when you are heading this way - I live right off of 99 - Sheldon Rd exit.

Jeez, I'm hungry - I guess my 1/2 c cheese lasagna didn't stick with me long. - I'll have a big glass of Decaf iced tea and see if that helps. Need to eat my Calcium chew still too.

Pam- Congrats to your parents! 54 years is amazing. Glad your dinner went well.

Coco- I'm so excited for you. Really happy! This is an amazing time in your life. You're gonna rock it! And yes, that's a fast move! I hate moving too. I hate packing and unpacking. I'm so excited to move this time because it's going to be the last time I move for a good long time!

I'm excited for our outing tomorrow! I feel like I've been totally slacking this week so I need the exercise!
