Hi All - Just checking back in; it been a busy weekend. Last night I had my staff over for a Christmas party. costco lasagne, caesar salad and garlic bread. I didn't eat the lasagne, but put some grilled chicken on the caesar. I was fine until I was doing the clean up, then I started tasting. someone made some kind of fudge/cookie bars and I did a little bit - maybe a 1/2 inch piece and then went back for more! Also had a couple of spoonfuls of lasagne. Boy - when I taste carbs I just want more! When I weighed on Friday I was down another lb, so a total of 30 by my scale. Yeah! I have a weigh appt this Friday at Kaiser so I will update my ticker after that.

Riley - you look awesome in that dress! Hope you will be at Sherry & James' tonight.

Hugs to everyone else. I have to go back to work! (Only 1 more day until my oldest son comes home - can't wait!)

Hi everyone- here is my menu for the day:

B- 1 egg 2 oz of refried Beans

L- 1 oz refried beans 1 mint cookie with my coffee from this morning that Ive been re-heating and sipping all day.

D- I dont know yet..I pulled some chicken for the guys but I might just make tuna for myself.

Doesnt that seem like a lot of food? I can put down more now..I am still having mushies and chew the heck out of my food. Tomorrow Robin is supposed to call me to move to modified foods.

Oh and quick update..my sis in law in SJ is having her lapband placed on Thursday..she is so excited as I am too for her.

Maria-I don't know girl....Your food intake sounds little to me. I told you guys I can eat like an unbanded person....that's why I am not losing any weight....I have to get myself together and back on track...Today has been good though....

I just called Kaiser Richmond and spoke to Beverly. She looked me up and the computer said I need to have a class in January....The class is the 30 minute with that damn Robin and 30 minutes with Dr. Fisher. At least I don't have to wait until February. Unfortunately, the January calendar is not out. She told me to call back next week to see if it is out....

My friend just attened the late Nov orientation and was assigned to Dr Im. Who on here has that Dr???? Any tips for her??? She has lost 11lbs since orientation and was just told by Dr Im, yesterday to lose 17lbs...I guess her total is 27lbs.....

Heather-That did the good Dr. say about your weight goal???? Did he change the amount of weight you have to lose???? Sorry if you already said. I've been away for a while. Hope your're having fun in Hawaii!!!

Monique what class is she talking about? I've never heard of a class besides the support group post op.

Who all is going to support tomorrow? I'll be there I want to get focused for these holidays.

I'm ashamed of my food today...we had an all day meeting and they ordered pizza in. I had a piece, it was thin crust and I scraped the cheese and ate the top. Then one of the Docs brought in a cake and I had a piece. OMG! what was I thinking. I sure will be glad when this week is over, every meeting or office has some kind of sinful delight calling my name.

Monique - Dr. Im was my surgeon. He doesn't do monthly fills like Dr. Baggs. I saw him 6 wks after surgery and got a fill and then not again until 3 months later and then 6 mths later. He does larger fills when he does them - he doesn't leave any in the band at surgery (he just primes it). I really like him and he is nice - but you need to follow the food plan or you won't get a fill.

Riley - I am on Facebook - my e-mail address is momcof3@frontiernet.net - you can search for by that. Yeah - another Facebook friend.

I'm in my long nightgown with a sweatshirt over it - I just can't get warm. It helps having the laptop on my lap.

I need to get on the scale tomorrow morning - I am feeling bloated today. I had two pieces of pepperoni pizza for dinner - ugh - obviously no restriction tonight - where the heck did it go? Isn't my band supposed to stop it and let me know I am being naughty?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
