hey my beauties!

So today was nice:)

After i left the net world, i went to wally.. I dont like the store in this wally, they dont have my cheese pieces!!! Or my 2.5 gal Water. Disapointing. They have some 4 lb lobsters though lol:) Then i went to save mart and they have reg lobsters for GET THIS 8.99!!! a lb or you can get prev cooked for 7.99. They have some cute shoppin carts here though with little areas for audrey to sit:) I got her some clearance kiddie juices.. And ironically... i found myself in the cookie isle.. i was SOO TEMPTED. WTH why do i have such a sweet tooth!!! Seriously i have something sweet for one day and it goes hog wild!!!:blushing: Doesnthelp my 2 yr old says COOOOOKIE.... COOOOOKIEEEE.. PEASE... PEASE..

So after that lol.. i saw a yummy lookin chinese place. This is when i fall in love with my band all over again. We go after i dropped off the groceries. We ordered my crab wontons, shrimp with lobster sauce, sweet and sour chicken, rice and then we got an egg roll, Soup, and this chicken on stick thing.. WELL i had half the egg roll, which was mostly stupid lettuce.. had one crab puff.. felt full waited a min was hungry again. i was able to eat probably about 1/2 a cup of sweet and sour chicken and 1 shrimp. i had 2 crab puffs but only the actually good part:) NO STUCK nothin thank the lords:D

What was crazy is back in the day id fight mike fro the crab puffs and want atleast half or more of them.. i would eat all the soup, egg roll and chicken thing i didnt even touch the stick thing. But instead they were waiting on bringing our dinner out cause i was still working on my first crab puff lol.

Then we came home i changed for the gym and went to the gym. Im catching back up to where i was before i rehurt my knee.. so thats good. A skinny girl was in there like size 0.. and her hubbs and he was getting on her about me being able to do it so she shoudl be able to. It kinda pissed me off so i told her its taken me 3 months to get to running like this. I told her about the C25k.

So then after my workout we went to the spa.. that was nice too:)

Girls im not sure id bring lattes to the meeting.. you meet with Liz first..

Candra ill text you im debating on packing tomorrow:)

Hey ladies headed out to drop my daughter off than stopping back work to turn in my reports...........than off to Richmond. Crossing my fingers the traffic won't be to crazy today.

Donna you must already be there by now............Candra and Jes exciting day today. I know the room your all in I will try to say hello...........afraid to stay for lunch so I will leave that to you ladies.............I have traffic on my mind today and I NEED to get to SAcramento as soon as I can........I am feeling like I am cutting this close but tomorrow I can rest!! :-) Nervous about the interview today.......

Heather yep I am so hoping that some people retire or get other jobs. We have alot of people in my office that could re-tire.....but we'll see how it goes. Some people are interviewing for other stuff.........but mostly what I am hearing is people say is they are waiting to see what happens before they decide. Or maybe we will get a few positions given back and that would save my job.........

Just glad I have a few days off right ..............

Nicole did you go to Richmond?? Hmm I guess I will find out in a bit............

Good luck to all today......

I just got back from Water aerobics. I loved it. I can only go on my 9/80 and the last 2 have been too cold (wierd, too cold in August) and the one before that, I had a dentist appt that got out late. Well, I did a 20 min walk as soon as I got out of bed, then I realized I had time to get to the gym for the class. I was the youngest one there by at least 20 years, there were many people in their 70-80s but it was great! I got such a good workout. Now I'm going to get a pedicure (My 50 lb treat to myself, a little late) and then to Kaiser for a weight check. Hope the pre-op and the fill are going well for you ladies! If all goes well at Kaiser, I'll be calling Richmond to schedule my psych.

Wow no one on tonight?

Donna I hope you make here in one piece. I got caught in traffic from vacaville on!! I made it home in time but good thing no lunch for me.

So nice to see you guys even for a short time!! It is getting really close now...........

So I got 1cc fill. So up to 5cc's again. I don't feel a difference yet. But didn't eat much today...........Skinny vanilla Latte right now. Ok I had a really small salad on the way home. No problem at all.......

Well see how it goes. I go back on the 24th for another fill in three weeks. Riley Jane I saw your name on the list so I picked it!!! :-) I was gonna do an individual one since I like that better today. Got more time to talk to Dr. Baggs cause he wasn't so rushed.

So 1 pound down in three weeks. Whew that Water thing worked Riley cause I was down three this morning. I got rid of that pesky two plus one more. I didn't want to be higher than last time...........well I didn't want to only lose one either but that was with jeans on. I decided I wanted to be comfortable.

So nice to be away from work today.............enjoy it!!

Dr. Baggs was funny again today!! LOL. He couldn't find my port. I mean he really couldn't find my port so it hurt a bit.........He said your gonna have a nice bruise this time........I told him I am ok if you bruise me but I better get a good fill out it.............I was still bleeding when I left and my trusty band aid fell off so I ruined my shirt.......oh well. I also told him that my hair is falling out..........in clumps, seriously in clumps now..............he said well you have lost alot of weight lately............I said one pound in a mongh.........I told him if I am gonna to lose all my hair I better get a good ten pound lose out of it......he laughed and said some people don't have any hair!! LOL. That made me laugh......

Oh Dr. Baggs is trying to start a vacaville fill. He is working on it. He said to email vacaville because they think there is not a big interest. HE said if we all email them that might help it get done faster...........he is trying to make it more convient for us Sacramento people!! I will email him to get the email we need to send it to..............I would LOVE a vacaville fill site.

I did like going to Richmond. I got to see LIz and Robin. I also saw Bev she was saying an office visit might be ok if I lose my insurance but labs are not...........she is also not sure if the actual fill is covered.............hmm.

Oh ladies I went to get my eyes checked they have been giving me a hard time. I thought I had pink eye twice..........well it turns out that my eyes suddenly improved alot..........my contacts were way to strong for me and didn't fit well. It wasn't pink eye it was contacts not fitting right. The eye doc said he could not figure it out. So I am trying new contacts for two weeks to see if it is better. I can tell you after two days it is way better.........I can see clearly................no more headaches now I hope.......I asked Dr. Baggs if this was due to losing weight...........he said well if you have a brain tumor that would be a good diagnosis!! LOL. He is funny............

So ladies email the SAcramento County Board of supervisors if you can and tell them not to cut social workers in CPS or not so many anyway..........I am hoping for even 5-6 more workers not laid off!! Would make a big difference for me!! Everyone is sending emails in this week. Not sure it will help but who knows..................

Interview went fine. BUt the position will not be open until October 1, 2009. I got interviewed early cause they know my mom. The position is funded for October not September..........8 spots so ..............well see.......

Ok ladies gotta clean this place up.........

The good thing is by October I will know what is going on with the county so easier to make a decision than.

My stomach is really sore.......that fill is sorta catching up with me. I feel like I did 500 sit ups. The needle kept hitting the sides of my port and pushed it this way and that........uncomfortable but not painful..........now it is sore............LOL

Sorry to hear the fill was painful. You ate salad after a fill? Aren't we supposed to do liquids for 24 hours and then softs for 24 hrs? I go to see Robin and Dr. Im next Wednesday - not sure if I will be getting a fill but I am going to ask for at least .5 cc.

How did it go Candra and Jess?

My tummy is gurgling. I bought some yummy pulled pork at costco and ate a little with BBQ Sauce - must not have chewed good enough or maybe it is not for me. My kids loved it on hamburger Buns.

I'm having lunch with my teacher friend tomorrow - my daughter requested Taco Bell so that is what we're eating too. I am going to get one crunchy taco and eat really slow. Nachos would be too messy - don't want to have to have messy fingers.

Where is everyone?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
