Yes I was there. I was the one that got all choked up over nothing. (I hate getting that way!!!!) But I am very vocal and open about things and that just happens sometimes. I am going to try to do my best to make them all till I no longer need to.(ie.. at goal). Feel free to say hi at the next one.

Ok you were to my right 3 people? There were more people at that one than the last one. Most of them are RNYers tho. Wish we could get 10-15 banders in a room talking. And, just when the info starts coming out it was time to leave. I am just glad I have this place. Full of info.

Yes that's me. It would be interesting to have a group once in a while of more lapbanders but any info is better than none. That is the largest crowd I have seen since I have been going almost a year now except for te Chritsmas-to-do. That is a nice function they put on. When do you expect to hear more on when yours is going to be? I hated the not knowing I guess I am impatient. Ok hope you have a GREAT DAY prayers willa ps I have been BAD BAD all day breakfast was a good start then I got hungry at the VA w husband and have ate everything in sight since then. But havent ate anything for about an hour so I guess this binge is over I have to get some safe foods in the truck so I dont do this.... as soon as I eat a carb pow it starts but if I stay away from carbs I am ok weird huh???? maybe just normal for people that has eating problems prayers willa

I am in the 6month ins required Dr suppervised diet phase and tomarrow is #5, #6 is Aug 7 and then I try to get it approved. If it where up to me I would have done it already. I have used this time to learn everything I can about WLS. Still have doubts from time to time but as soon as I ask myself why I am still fat the resolve comes back.

I had to leave work today because my back hurt so bad. It is one of the things I hope to resolve with wt loss. But even though pain is one of my triggers to eat I was good. Like you once I start, thats it. Just remember you do not have to wait till tomarrow to start over. Every breath is another begining.

Talk to you later.

Hi Again you have an excellant attitude wish I could keep up like that... sorry about your back hurting and leaving work early but I hope you are keeping track of all this my insurance had me write a letter stating the facts why I needed the surgery and leaving work early due to pain would make an excellnt case for you. Yes I did start over but then my dear sister had been to the county fair and brought me not one not two but three candy apples and I ate one and had my husband put the other two in the refig. so later today it is now 3:10 am I will be throwing them away as bad as I hate to do that not just a waste of food but I dearly LOVE candy apples so when I do this it will be a major step for me in the right direction. I dont remeber you are married right? If so do you have any children? I have two grown adults now and 2 grandbabies.. my daughter Kim is or on the 17th will be 37 probably older than you and a son John Aug he will be 36 wow they are old arent they... my two grandbabies well kids I guess are soon to be 12 and soon to be 3 Sarica the grand daughter is head strong and has a weight problem all ready but her parent thinks it will take care of its self...both her prents have serious weight issues her mom my daughter is doing the 6 months ins. dr suppervised diet as well and I think hers will be over in Aug as well my son in law had the RYN about 4 yrs ago he did really well for a time but now he has gained it back he is over 400 lbs.but in his defense he is well over 6 ft tall. He is a good example of not to drink while eating which I am doing or had been I have a hyn hernia and I was told a long time ago not to eat unless I did drink some thing at the same time. But I am trying very slowly and carefu;lly t stop that it does work I mean you get way full faster and stay full longer when you dont. I would suggest you start doing that that is a hard thing to get use to for some people and start drinking water water water or some liquid other than soda... thats another biggie for others my friend had hard time giving up butter me I was a pasta and sandwich eater so that was hard for me besides the drinking. so hat ever you think will be the hardest for you start now and get yourself use to it. Ok I am ging to go now if theres anything I can help you with please let me know and I will do anything to help out. have a more pleasant day today than you had yesterday. {rayers willa

The excellant attitude comes and goes, but I try to use it when I have it. I had a PCP appointment this am and I made sure she noted it. Then I went to the Crackopracter(I always spell it that way:) He twisted me on the table and wow what a difference. 50% less pain right away. He made me take the rest of the day off. Darn:).

Uhhhh Candy apple. I love the red ones. But did she have to bring three?? Trashing them is the right thing to do.

Yes I am married, no kids (by choice). Hubby just started saying he would like some but wants to wait till 2010 (I would be 36). I think he has no idea what he wants. He thinks kids are something that is supposed to happen. I will have them if he wants them, I just don't have that clock ticking or anything.

The Nurse Practicioner(sp?) in my office had RNY lost 100 lbs still could loose 50 +- more but says if she stays this wt the surgery was a success. She has been very helpfull and answes a lot of questions. Do you really have to give up butter or anything else totaly? unless it gets stuck.

I have been testing the waters of not drinking when I eat. It will be the hardest I think. Taking small bites and chewing well will be next on the list. I have been limiting my carbinated drinks and I don't think giving them up will be hard. I love crystal light and teas with splenda.

I am glad we have met and have this website to cantact each other. Now stop thinking about the apples in the trash and so will I LOL. Have a good day.
