    Four, 4, vier, fire, cuatro, chetiri, quattro, yon, quatre

    By LoriBecky

    Four... no matter what language you say it in... I just fit into a pair of size FOUR jeans... yes, me! I love thrift store, bargain hunting. Its a huge thrill to me to find something that i love for less then $10. From my amazing, full length wool coat for $8.88, to my wool peacoat for $6.88 to my Ralph Lauren cords for $3.33 or my Stuart Weitzman pumps for $4.50... I love a bargin, but I have to admit, pulling those 4's off the endless jean rack and looking at them and thinking "no way" - t

I made it

Well we are back and the real work begins. I guess the only problem I am having so far is taking my medication. I crushed them up but when I tried to take it, I threw up, it is horrible. I dont know what I am going to do about that, I have to take my medication, it is so important. Today, I am going to try to take it whole, one pill at a time and see what happens. There has got to be a way. Otherwise, I think I am ok. I little hungry. But I like to have juice. I will go buy more today. I just ha

Surgery Monday Sept 22nd!!

I really enjoy reading everyone's posts but can't quite figure out my way around this place. And, I'm not exactly sure what a blog is but it took me awhile to get to this point. So - with time- hope I'll get this figured out. Anyway - I am on my last day of the preop diet then tomorrow I go to liquids. Monday - my 36th birthday - I will be having my surgery. A lot of you talk about traveling to get the procedure done. My travel will consist of about a ten minute drive to our local hospital

Waitin' for my husband to pick me up ......

So I thought I'd come on here rather than stand outside I'm so happy that its Friday .... I've been looking forward to this day since Tuesday when I returned to work from vacation! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job -- but some of the girls I work with can be quite bitchy and it just makes for a really long day. I try not to let their bitchiness bother me but its hard. My aunt is moving at the end of October and she's starting to pack up some stuff and give it away --- so this weekend w

Haven't been on here in a while .....

We went away on vacation .... if you could call it that! It was almost a week and I wish I could say I had a fun time for the entire trip but really didn't. Its kind of sad because I was visiting my husbands family. Don't get me wrong, I love them all .... but a few of them are a little wingnut-like .... seriously. It was way too stressful for me at times and it caused Devin and I to fight (because of his mom). We're both just happy to be at home now and in a normal environment! We'll do

Packing

Today I am packing and getting things ready to go. :-h I got my benefiber, my gas x and my pill crusher so I can take my meds. I bought my husband and I matching suit cases that have wheels on them so we wont have to pick them up, except to put them above us on the plane. I dont plan on checking any luggage, this is all we plan to take. I think a couple changes of clothes should do it. He has to take his seapac machine, I hope they dont make him check his bag because he is taking that. Maybe he

crush

i know this is dumb and i'm probably feeling sorry for myself but sometimes i see skinny pretty girls and i'm just like why couldn't i just have been like that??...why did i have to be the "fat girl"???..i look at them and just think to myself their life is probably so perfect because they're skinny and pretty and have lots of friends and don't have to worry about looking "fat" in an outfit. they can go shopping without thinking "is it going to fit" or whatever...maybe i'm just jealous because t

13 days left

Well time is getting close. 13 days and we will be leaving to go down to OCC. I am very nervous about leaving my child. I worry about him. I am trying to get things in order at home, it is very stressful. I am not sure how much weight I have lost, if anything at all. This next week will be the breaking point. I wont be able to eat much of anything. I feel very tired most of the time. I dont feel like I am getting enough water. I have to work on that. I look forward to getting this done so I can

Day 13 post surgery

Still down 21 pounds. I am having trouble getting protein in. I really am sick of all the shakes I've had to endure pre and post surgery. Today I mixed an Unjury unflavored protein packet in with 2 tablespoons of hummus. It was tolerable. I have visions of eating real food again, but don't know when exactly I'll be able to do so. If I mix a shake with icecubes, it tends to be too thick, making me burp. The small baby food jars (pureed chicken and broth) has been helpful, but not enough grams of

Post-op Lapband day 12

I got banded on 8-22. Now I'm on day 12 post surgery, and have incorporated hummus into my diet. I also had watered down mashed potatos. I wonder how long it will be before I can have real food, and not feel like I'm going to burp after eating. down 21 pounds

always up to no good...

so i'm kinda annoyed right now because in two weeks i only lost 1lb....1lb!!! AGHhh!! well i guess thats what i get because i've been eating string cheese and frozen yogurt, not getting in any vitamins or protein..and definitely not getting all my water in.. mehhh... i decided to go through all my clothes and throw away/donate anything larger than a size large. its best to live in the present and not in the past. i'm never going back so might as well start now. omgosh i'm so happy because i ha

I have a fill doctor .... in my town!!!!

So I live about 5 hours from Edmonton, in what feels at times like the farthest north you can go in Alberta (I know its not, it just feels like it). Fort McMurray isn't "home" right now, we're just up here to get some experience and pay off some bills and hope to return to civilization and mountain in two years. I was worried that having Lap Band surgery would create a bit of an issue with where would I go for my fills. I was going to see a doctor in Calgary that many people recommended as I

A superwoman I am not today .....

So today is my first day back to work .... its 11am and I think I'm dying. Ok, that may be a little over dramatic and I'm not actually dying but boy does it feel like it! I think I went a little overboard while in Tijuana and San Diego and for that its my own fault. The day after surgery I did the Tijuana City Tour and as fun as it was (and not all that happy about the sunburn I got) I probably shouldn't have gone on it because the bus ride was fairly bumpy. Sunday (two days after surgery)

i don't know if this is a compliment or just really creepy...but this lady had told my friend that if she had my face she would do anything to lose the weight... i guess i should take it as a compliment...anyway i'm kind of annoyed because this other lady was saying that every time she sees me i'm always eating...uh first of all that's not true! she only sees me eat because when i first get into work i don't have time to eat breakfast so i'll sit there and eat breakfast. so hello!! ugh whate

Not that girl next store

He saw me, just a glance. He joked with me, He said dirty little things. I hear what he's saying. But right now I dont feel real good about myself. These extra pounds have affected my self esteem. Little pains that my body tells me daily, make it hard to jump out of this seat and tell him who I really am. I miss the old me. The one who ran up and down these halls. The one who played music for him and danced in front of him and showed him my passionate side. How truely lonely I get inside. How ho

You know what I wish? That people were honest with themselves. Why hide who you are? It just frustrates me when people lie. What's even more frustrating is knowing they are lying to themselves. I'm not talking about things you can change externally, I'm talking about from within. If you know something is true, but you turn the blind eye... What are you so afraid of? Why don't you live? ............................................................................... mario left tonight.. he's on

I hate this time of month

I know all women go through this but for me it is horrible. I get into a mode where I am confused about everything. Am I making the right choices? Where is my life going? Am I doing the right things? Am I going to get into trouble somewhere? It is horrible. I am even doubting the surgery. Maybe it is fear. I know I am going to do it, I know this is temp, it is only a week or 10 days out of the month that I am crazy. But I feel so uncomfortable. Today at work was terrible. We had a shooting in th
