Where in Hawaii do you all live?

OMG Tabs! 110 pound loss??? You definately need to post some updated pics..........dang woman! Proud of you.

Hi everyone, I live in Mililani, on Oahu. My husband just got stationed here, and we've been living here for a month now. We really love it.

Where did you live before?

I used to live in California. What a difference huh? Everything is so green compared to there. I cant believe how fast time is going. I went to go pick up my lovanox(sp) and that will be weird giving myself a shot in the stomach lol. How's everyone else doing?

Where in California did you live? I used to live in San Pedro until I was 6. We moved here right before I started the 2nd grade. My sister now lives in Carlsbad and my mom is in Morro Bay. Don'cha just love it here?

Lovenox-ahhhhh, it's such a fricken head trip self administering those. Did the lady on the phone explain to you you basically grab your roll.......and the needle will slide right in, like you're sticking it right into butter? It really is an easy process, doesn't really hurt but just to know that you are stabbing yourself is so weird. You'll do fine though and it'll be so worth it when you get back to Hawaii, strip down, jump on that scale and be like WOW!!! And it'll start melting off from there.

Do you leave on Sunday or Monday?

I lived in the central valley, near Fresno. Pretty much in a little town of nothing. LMAO!! All of my family lives in San Jose though. Thats where I will be staying after surgery. I leave on Tuesday and arrive in San Jose at 9:05 P.M. Surgery is scheduled for 3 the next day.  That will be soooo weird injecting myself. The nurse told me that its not all that bad. We'll see how it goes. I dont really have a fear of needles so it should be okay. Oh guess what!! Nicole at Dr. Cirangles office-I LOVE her btw!!! Great woman-got my psych eval. She said you werent kidding when you told me she was a jerk. I'm not stressing about it anymore though. Surgery is scheduled, I have my plane tickets. Life is good. I ordered the book, the emotional first aid kid, a practical guide to life after bariatric surgery from amazon and I ordered a cook book for post ops. I was telling Nicole that its so sad that I had such a bad experience at that hospital because I will never go back there for counseling and what have you. I would rather get referred out in town than go there again. So I am armed with books for life post-op and I'm going to go to support groups. Do you go to any meeting or anything?

The manager at the local Curves has had RNY. She holds a meeting every other month for anyone who has had any type of WLS and people who are just interested in learning more. It's really low key. Our last meeeting topic was Protein. It's alright. I feel like I learn more this board though!!!! I can come in here anytime and someone is here. I think Dr. Cirangle has a meeting on Oahu every few months. I believe it is posted on his website you could email Nicole.

ps-if you look on Bariatriceating.com, there are tons of recipes for drinks and foods for "life after". Check it out!

What, no Black Friday shopping for goal skinny clothes today? The day before surgery, we were shopping. That is when I bought my goal pants, Size 8 DKNY, no stretch pants. I cant believe I can wear them!!! I think i'll stay outta the stores cause my 3 kids would drive me more crazy than the horrendous amount of shoppers. LOL

Have a good weekend!
