Sorry to hear it Tamra! There will ALWAYS be some type of stress in our lives - sure wish we could learn how to get thru it without eating!

I have all the Fridays off in November Candra - maybe we can meet up in the middle. I will have to bring my daughter with me as she is off track all November. I have a dentist appointment on Nov 6 at 2 pm, but I could do something that day as long as I am back at 2 pm.

I took my kids and got them their regular flu shots and their H1N1 shots at Elk Grove Kaiser after school today - I have to wait until later to get the H1N1 after the priority people. Taran got the regular shot and did the mist for the H1N1. Both boys got shots for both.

Hi All!

Riley - If you need help with pics let me know I have all the tools.

Candra - What or who is 2flygys? I might be in the wrong forum. :( haha. Sorry to hear about the headaches.

Tamra - I've gained as well. Not happy with myself. Try and get back on track.

I have had 2 (full) Migraines in my whole entire life, and I have NO idea how you guys handle it. Nonne. <y son gets them and all he can do is sleep - no light no noise no movement. His are usually related to unstable blood glucose - he's the one with the Type 1 diabetes. Candra girlfriend you have to get to the bottom of those! I know the Kaiser up here has all kinds of "headache" clinics; does your local one? Clinical studies? You can't live like that . . . .

EHarmony is cracking me up! OK I seriously need some better pics, the one I have up is the one that Heather took at Reggie's, no makeup and 14 lbs. heavier - uh . . . OH YEAH its my avatar!! if some guy gets past that he will be pleasantly suprised meeting me in person, LOL I guess that is better than the reverse! Still - they want me to have a body shot up of me doing something I enjoy, I guess that would be hiking? No plaid shorts though! And hard to do a glamour shot in hiking boots. I need help!

OK sounds like Pat and I can do the 14th, except our group here goes until noon and then it's going to take an hour at least to get down there from here :-( do you guys really want to wait for us?? We ARE fabulous and well worth waiting for, IF I do say so myself :(

As far as the 14th goes, that bridge walk is about an hour. The weather should be ok (not too hot) so if we can walk in the afternoon. If we want we can go for a late lunch after or something somewhere close by in Vallejo.

oh who is coming down for the 29th fill? anybody? That's the day I go see Dr P. Now I'm blotted and probably gained 3 lbs because of my TOM. needles to say I probably won't get a fill. I don't know why I'm so worried about it. I guess because I can eat anything and any amount. If she makes me go another 6 wks that will mean I'll be on my own for thanksgiving one of my favorite holidays.:(

Ah, Analynn - so good to see you on girl - I was getting worried about you! You down for the 14th?

Hi all you beautiful People!! And thanks for the concern..Whats goin on, on the 14th? Hey Candra.. its Hula/tahitian night!!! come over if you wanna try it out or just watch!!

I had a very EMOTIONAL weekend:crying:.. too much drama.. (MY soon to be ex-husband wants to reconcile) AND my best friends son possibly might have the swine flu:frown:.. he's been sick with a 101 fever since Saturday and it hasn't let down. They brought him into the hospital yesterday but was told, that unless they have to admit him, thats when they'll test him for the H1N1 BUT as of now.. they sent him back home and told her that he is a possible 50/50 H1N1.. I don't understand the protocol or process of how they're doing this but.. alot of people are going into hospital because of the swine flu scare but most of the cases are just the regular flu.. Its a scary time right now.. jus pray its just the regular flu.

Anyways.. I didn't have ANY alcohol this weekend and I finally realized or umm.. YEAH.. no more alcohol (wine, tequilla shots) for me .. for AWHILE :scared2: BUT its ok because I found out that, that was the reason WHY i've been see-sawing on this whole weight issue.. " duh! HELLO ANALYNN!!" :( I'm still working my BA dunk a dunk dunk off and I think i'm starting to reap the full benifits of my workout now that i'm jus stickin to Protein and no alcohol.... I really JUST HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED.. ok enough of my brain fart on here.. so what's going on, on the 14th again? and whats this about 2 fly guys.. what is that? sounds like fun to me! LOL j/k:wink:

Riley - I've been to the headache clinics in vallejo - it's a joke - they told me to get OFF birthcontrol and get therapy because I'm depressed - First of all - there is no friggin way I'm getting OFF my depo shot - before the shot I was down with a Migraine the ENTIRE week preceding my cycle - AND I DON'T WANT KIDS!

Jes, I feel ya on the fill. I've only got 2.5-3.0cc in my band and I'm out here dangling on my own - Thanksgiving is going to suck! With my headaches I've been eating alot of almonds - trying to coat my tummy cuz all the pills hurt me :thumbup: boo hoo.

Thanks for the sympathy, John. Sometimes I just want to be spoiled. This one was painful but I wasn't as nausiated as I have been in the past so that's a good thing! I'm telling you - excederine gel caps are life saving!

You guys can go to my profile and see 2flyguys - she's on my friends list and she's done amazing - lost like 140lbs in less than a year - she's another Riley Jane! She's had a Tummy Tuck too - but she's a die hard 3 meals per day, no snacking and lotsa exercise type a gal. She's got so many pictures up and just brave to put herself out there for everybody to follow. She's the first person I saw on this site that had me thinking... Hmmm, I can do this. Then I found this forum and knew this was the right thing for me to do. Just thought it'd be cool to have somebody new - a complete success thus far, come and share with us. She said she'd do it after the holidays.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
