Well yesterday I realized at 3 in the afternoon that I hadn't eaten. So when I finally ate dinner I felt nauseated. So this morning I ate breakfast (omelette) wasn't hungry for lunch so I had a protein shake. I feel I am doing really good as fast food doesn't even sound nor smell appealing to me. Lora

BEST WISHES!!! Keep us posted as we are all here for you. Lora

Thanks for updating us Alana. Sorry about the headache, I had a severe migraine this past wednesday after getting a bagel n banana stuck...lol my own fault. Keep us posted on your post op and with Chuck...hehehe Lora

Your body will determine the amount of time you need off. Many people have gone back to work within days, while some have needed a few weeks. How does your body heal now? If you do make a wager....MAKE IT COUNT!!! like a few days paid time off...lol Keep us posted. Lora

BeBe, good job at reaching the 180's....so many wonderfully inspiring women n men on here. I can't wait to really notice a drop in weight. HORAY TO ALL!!!!! Lora

quennee, sorry to hear you are struggling right now. I too have been overweight my whole life and know how hard it is to want it to end. Please be patient, maybe it it one of the platues that everyone talks about. I'm sure you are doing what is needed on your end, but are you taking in enough protein and fiber? Just fuel for thought. Please keep us posted as we ARE here for you. Lora

Good job!! Keep up the wonderful work. I can't wait for my first fill...lol Lora

MamaMichelle, Brook and I are flying in from Phoenix on thursday the 22nd. We are planning on staying in San Diego and just going over on the 23rd for our fill and then returning to San Diego that same day. Brook is planning on staying with Tatts (Sara), but my hubby and I are getting a hotel room. So if you want to join us that would be nice. Let me know Lora

:lb10:

Great to have both of jining the journey to a new you.

lol I was thinking the same thing Calicat!!! Soon I will be going to Victoria's Secret for matching bra and panty sets. I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!

I love peanut butter n apples. I would rather have this than ice cream or popsicles. I plan on using it for Thai cooking where recipes call for peanut butter. I also plan on using it for baking needs. It is YUMMY!!!!!!

Ramona, not fatter than anyone, it looks as though you and I are pretty close in stats. But both of us are on a wonderful journey that will change our lives for the better.

My fill is the 23rd the friday before. I am going down with Brook and Sara. I can't wait!!!

I enjoyed Revolution Ave....but I also enjoy bartering I was even out after dark, but be careful I was with 2 friends one of which looked as though he could throw down at anytime....lol I found the meds reasonable for what I bought, but it does depend on what you are looking for. I purchased 2 Channel purses and haggled from 65 down to 20 each. I also bought my son a Denver Bronco Poncho for 20 as we sat in line to cross back into San Diego. The day after surgery my friends and I went across the street from the OCC parking garage to an outdoor market which also had fruits, veggies, mexican candy plus alot of other stuff to purchase if only I had a truck...lmao I truly enjoyed my stay. Enjoy yourself and let us know. Also best of luck on your procedure. Lora
