Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Jess - good luck going back to work - I hope it goes well with the food and you don't get too tired this week.

Riley - WOO HOO! on the man! Way to go girl - you look terrific. Let me know if I can come to the Tuesday night group you do with your Kaiser buddies - send me a message about details if it is OK.

Monique - I am may be going to the Wed. night support group, but I think you better take it easy - especially having anesthesia (sp?). Will be thinking real positive thoughts for you and anxious to follow your journey.

Candra - I am doing the 3 meals a day and I agree with you that when you keep to a schedule it works so much better. Some nights I work late and don't get dinner until 8:30 or 9 and that is just too long to go from lunch at noon. The 4 meals seem to work for you which is great - keep it up. I'm not sure about Saturday - need to see if Miss Riley is going - its a long drive.

Analynn - how are you doing? I think that 2nd half of the weight loss before surgery is going to be harder than the first. I'm really going to try to focus on my exercise this week. I'm hoping for the case manager appt in mid November.

Pam - you're a good Mom - doing Fright Night and all. Nate has the flu (was out of school 3 days), but took the PSAT anyway - so I'm not sure how it will turn out. He also didn't read the booklet, so he didn't bring a calculator with him:thumbdown:. Any news on your teacher guy?

Have a good week all.

Hi Ladies!

Not much to report just hanging in. Glad you are all doing so well with your diets!! I'm not doing that great. I should do better during the week as its easier to keep on track.

Have a great week!

Howdy everyone,

Whew. Busy weekend. Saturday was a mess of cleaning the house for a party, then dinner with my parents then the actual party. Sunday was a family party followed by my best friend's daughter's 2nd b-day party. I've been partying for 9 hours today! I'm exhausted and full of terrible food. Gotta get back on the plan. It's like I gave myself an inch and I took a mile!

Nicole- The child support/custody stuff is something you can go to mediation for, I don't know if you can do one without the other. Are you filing for divorce or separation? There are classes available in the courthouse before you file stuff.

Hello All,

I've been incognito for a few days now. Work has been super stressful, however I am hopefully this will be a better week.

Candra, how are you? Jes yes just jump back on the band wagon, so will I. I did well for the most part of last week and fell off this weekend, I am very ready for another fill.

Monique I wish you the best and girl stick to your plan it does work, we'll be here for support.

So tomorrow will be a new day and beginning of a new week.

My meal today

B: Woke up late : 1/2 cup fish and 1/4 corn meal

L &D: Same as Breakfast

S: 3mini brownies and 3 mini slices of pound cake oooppsss

Tomorrow I plan on getting back on my eliptical. Riley I hear you about the exercise thing if anyone can get back it's you lady! :-).

Nicole - if you get a chance go to Custodial Party

- it has all the information you need as the custodial parent to get services through the county. Their is a resources tab at the top too that will be helpful. You will need to have a court order to be able to get child support. Check out the booklet and then if you have questions, call the county you live in or go into their office and see them.

Apparently my son didn't read the booklet either as he didn't take a calculator with him either - but he said they provided them with calculators.

I had lunch with my teacher friend on Friday and had an interesting chat about married/separated people being off limits for dating. I called him Sat night after we got home from Fright Night and left him a message that I wanted to talk to him if he went to the school yesterday because something is bothering me. He called me back yesterday and said he didn't end up going to the school, but that we could talk today after school. Now if I could only figure out what I am going to say. I am tired of this wishwashy stuff - of course I will probably chicken out. Gosh I wish I could act like a grown up sometimes.

Better get to work.

Happy B-day Riley, Jane !!!

Hey John, glad you're still hangin in

Jewel, how was your first day back?

Monique - r u ready girlfriend - don't be nervous - i swear it's a piece of cake. I laugh at myself now for how needlessly worried I was.

So I've been starving and eating like crazy - gained .8lbs! so I decided to try to start C25K again today since I'm going to see The Doc on Wednesday anyway but silly me! I'm out of albuterol and I already can't breath when there's moisture in the air - I'm weezing so loud I think the neighbors can hear me LOL. I was just told that Albuterol is discontinued so now I've gotta wait for a new prescription to come thru. Grrr. Oh, and i failed miserably at the C25K week 1! I see it's going to be a long way back to where I left off on the end of week 3!! I'm so flipping out of shape it's sad.

Anybody else got asthma? do you know the difference between albuterol & primatine mist? I use to have primatine mist when I was in grade school but haven't used it in years - I remember seeing it at walgreens - wondering if I should just go grab one of those - Hmmm? I feel fine - just breathing VERY LOUDLY hahahahahahahaha

Just saying hello all-

bad news - unemployment is making me have a phone interview bfore they release my money. Nov 12th is the day!!! I have ZERO MONEY until they decide. So I cant pay for Cobra once my insurance stops Nov 1....I have had NOTHING but bad luck these past 2 weeks, I am so down, and pretty much have given up on the banding...I just don't see it happening unless I get the unemployment ASAP, but then I will be behind on bills, my car, etc. by that time...*sigh* sorry to vent my personal life......

Hope you all are doing well...

[smallerj 2]

Tamra, oh I'm sorry to hear that. Is there any way you can get an appt sooner? Maybe you can call back and talk to someone else that may have mercy on you. Good luck.

Monique, how ya doing? You all ready to go? Don't worry everything will be fine.

Work was work. tomorrow I'm in class all day so I'm not going into the office. I've been sooo hungry trying not to overeat. I can't wait I hope I get a fill. I finally lost 1 lb it's been lost for 2 days so maybe it's true. I'm not moving my ticker though.
