Friday Roll Call

Hi Lucy, I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow morning... <--- (me on weekend mornings). The hospital is close to home so I probably should go since I haven't been to any of the post-surgery meetings yet.   I won't be able to make the party tomorrow but hopefully next time.  Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary. You know what, I can't believe that we have some things in common. I have pictures on my digital camera from Sedona; I'll bring them along to the support meeting just in case if you come. I'm up early just about everyday even on the weekend. We just might become the best of friends ! I'm sure we'll have another get together soon. Thanks, Lucy

Yes, that's really nice, I'm, unfortunately, not going to be at the support meeting.  My son is moving and I think I'll be tied up with that.  I will try for the next one though.  I STILL need to go to that Post Op Healthy Lifestyles class.  It's not always easy to take a day off work.  I wish they would be on a weekend. 

Hi Mary. I was lucky that I could get away from work to go to the class. A weekend class or evening class would be helpful. I'll meet you at the next support meeting and bring my pictures. Hope all goes well with your son's move. Have a good weekend! Lucy

good morning illinois!  tonight is my daughter's 9th bday sleepover! calgon take me away!  our house is almost finished!!  ugh! the painter was supposed to be here at 9 am yesterday and didn't show up until 4!!!  I told him that he has to be done by 3 pm today and still have some doors/windows and ceilings to finish.  tomorrow we have the family bday party and then we invited friends/neighbors later in the evening so i want the house to be ready and done!  so i can enjoy the rest of the summer! this has gone one entirely toooooo long!  lynne, i had the protein diet for 2 weeks.  just keep your eye on the prize and think of what a jumpstart you will have to your weight loss!  wendi good luck on your finals!  lucy you will do great on your fill, it's a piece of cake. but i am interested in how much they will put in. i still think he put a LOT in for my on my first fill (4.4 cc's) and i am not as tight as i would have thought.  but i am also very anal about chewing a ton before i swallow.  

OMG I would have killed someone if I had to do this two weeks before.....LOL Good luck with the party!....you'll need it with 9 year olds running around the house.

Hi sweetie! I got 3 cc's put in my band. I am very happy right now. Since surgery, I lost 14.2 pounds, a good start. I am on my way to goal . I am being careful about not drinking too fast. I don't want to throw up. I'm sure you are going to feel great once the house is done. Then you will enjoy the party tomorrow and the rest of the summer. Thanks, Lucy

Hi everyone!  I'm still in Tucson enjoying the heat!  We went to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest yesterday.  I'll be back home on Saturday, but not in time for the gathering.  Our plane doesn't land until the evening.  I'm scheduled for my first fill next wednesday, but I'm wondering if I actually need one.  I still can't eat very much, and if I eat too fast I get pain.  I'll leave it to the doctor to make the decision.  I definately do not have "banders hell"!  I think I'm down about 25 pounds at this point, but I haven't been on my scale in three weeks!  I'm still wondering what's happened to Barry???  Have fun at the party!  Paul

Paul there was a girl in my support group, she had surgery in November and still haven't had a fill and lost 102 pounds already.....The doctor said that is rare, but just a thought!

Hi Paul!  I love Tucson and went there just about every summer from when I was about 7 until my freshman year in high school.  My parents owned a house there and had it rented out until we could move there....you can see how well that went!  LOL

Enjoy the rest of your time there and have a safe flight home.  We'll miss you tomorrow!
