Nice Ticker Nicollie! 1 day and a wake up till your new life begins!

Heather, that was a good thought but for me, the problem is, there is no candy that I don't love.

I SNACKED TONIGHT BIG TIME - I completed my puzzle last night so I had nothing to do tonight but snack - peanut butter filled prezzles! Grrr - oh, and did I mention a rather large bite of my husbands pastry! I seem to be able to pull this off for two or three days then I mess up. so - back on track tomorrow morning and as soon as my check comes it's time for brain washing CD's - you know the ones from that hypnotist guy I was talking about - I'll be sure to make copies for everybody LOL

Riley - I need your mo-jo!!!!!

Monique - I too give in to the tempting foods that belong to the people around me!

Anybody else have a Dell mini computer? So, because they are cheep as hell I got one of the little red ones - side note: not a good call for the blind such as myself! - anyway - dell installs their one wireless utility and wouldn't you know it.... It clashes with windows xp wireless connection - so, you ask, why do they install both on the same computer - GOOD FLIPPIN QUESTION

I have to wonder if it's one of those conspiracy things - you know so that you have to go to them and pay them money to fix your computer so that you can get on line to chat with your band buddies.... Hmmm?

i got a trick for all their asses - i disabled the Dell Wireless Utility card! SO THERE, DELL - TAKE THAT!

I just got so tired of having to reconfigure my computer every time I turned it on.

Venting session over

Hey everyone, just checking in...

Riley have fun on eharmony. It's nice to to be open to the possibilities.

Monique, yes tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to try and do better too. My last few days have been all bad. I didn't even do the bridge this morning.

It will be nice to see you all on the 14th we should probably stick with one location so if we roll to Peteluma let's check the walk out there.

Ok, a little TMI, all this protein and no leafy greens has me plugged up! Plus I've been eating all this crap thus I can't crap Hehehe,,,

Oh Pat, yes DR P is going away on Dec 17th for a while so you may have to wait til the new year. But try and get to your goal that way you can pick your date.

I can't believe the stupid bridge is not open yet, I can't work from home tomorrow I have 3 meetings so I guess that means BART and leaving home reeeeeal early.

Hey everyone. I went to Schollenber this afternoon and wow! The new section that they opened is huge - it has lots of great paths - it is part of the water treatment facility; they built a wetlands to aid in the rain water run off. I only walked part of it and want to go back next weekend and check out more. I walked for an hour! Then came home and put the Halloween decorations away.

Riley - I am planning to come to your group Tuesday night - the time is 6:30 and its at the same house you sent me right?

Jess - Can't believe the bridge is still closed - what a mess! Are you planning to go to the Richmond support group on Wed night? I am planning to as of now unless the bridge is still closed and traffic is still all messed up going over the Richmond bridge instead.

Anyone else feel the way I am before doing the surgery? (my last question about being scared to do it and being scared not to do it?)

singand_dance · 11-02-2009, 02:27 AM

Pat, I feel exactly the way you do. I'm terrified to do it, but terrified to not do it. You're not alone feeling this way.

marquint · 11-02-2009, 10:24 AM

I have the same feeling about the surgery as Heather and Pat. I had an awful Sunday well it was fun that I went to the movies with my guys..but then had chinese food...ice cream and yes..a snow ball!! damn Hostess..I had a sugar crave...but today I am going to "up" my work out and be good. two more weeks!!! I am so scared ...

swrktp · 11-02-2009, 10:39 AM

Marie you will be fine. Worrying about surgery was worse than the actually surgery!! :-)

Desperate1 · 11-02-2009, 11:09 AM

PRE OPS - DO NOT WORRY!

Seriously, worrying is such a waste of time - I know it's easier said... but truly, It all goes so fast and it's so easy you can sleep right thru it. hahahaha. I was nervous and excited and almost chickened out and went thru a slew of emotions before surgery but then I woke up surgery morning more excited than worried and thought about all that went before me and how great they were doing and couldn't wait to be on of them. At the hospital, waiting for surgery - the only thing I could think about was my previous failures and just knew that I had already failed - that I'd waik up after surgery with no band because I didn't lose enought weight, that my liver would be too fat - blah, blah, blah - Then i woke up in no pain and thought to myself .... I knew it! No band! but they said all was well and I was relieved - See, all that stress & worry for nothing! Reovery was/is so easy... You'll see!!! then you'll be like me and think to yourself that you did all that overthinking for nothing~! Trust me!!

Ok, so still waiting for all the Sac/EG peeps to weigh in about weather or not you want to stick with Vallejo or roll to Petaluma... Please speak up!

marquint · 11-02-2009, 11:26 AM

Thanks Candra and Tina for helping me with my worries.

Candra- I am rolling with Liz an Canolie so I'll go wherever they are going..whatcha think girls...

riley4183 · 11-02-2009, 11:41 AM

Maria did you get the link I posted for you? Page 499 I think - WOW people, we are chatty little Cathies!

Pat yes - 6:30 at the Shay address. I can't wait to see you!!

It is happening again, the sugar/carb water bloat!! 180 lbs. this morning, that is a pound MORE than at my last fill 6 weeks ago! And 9 lbs. more than 5 days ago. WHAT is up with THAT?? MAYbe it was the cookies and candy and mashed potatoes with gobs of butter - I'm just sayin'!! Band got tighter too - good band :-)

marquint · 11-02-2009, 12:51 PM

Riley- Yes sorry ..thanks for the link I will download them to my sons ipod.

Desperate1 · 11-02-2009, 01:50 PM

Wow, Riley - you are like me... I can gain 20lbs over night with no problems!

Liz & Nicollie - tomorrow is the last day of this life as you know it - woo hoo! Have a good breakfast before you go, a great lunch after orientation and your favorite dinner & desserts cuz Wednesday morning is the first day of the rest of your new life -
