Hey girl. :-) we live very close to each other! are you familiar

with gig harbor? we live out in purdy. so like if you were coming

from Shelton (the back way through ) to gig harbor. and you

know the 302 turn off with the new light? well we live right by

there. So, I live about 20-30 minutes from you. To bad we didnt

live closer we could work out together!! :-) I like the area that

you live in. I really like the mud bay area! I love Olympia. it is

so greener and up and coming. It has the urban funk to it, I Just

love it! It reminds me of a mini Portland. All of my family lives

down by you.

What is your family into? Maybe one of these days we can hook up and

have coffee, I would really love that! and if you guys are into

camping or the out of doors maybe we can do something as a family

this next summer? some people arent into that kind of stuff. But we

are. we live outside in the summer! :-) and I Thought the winter

would be a bit of a break, but it is turning out to be just as busy.

Party city!! lol I think in December we are going to end up at about

5 parties and two will be at my house. I dont know about you, but my

life is blossoming since I have lost this weight! I am coming out of

my shell!! hee hee :-) You know we have enough people that live

around here we could even have our own little mini bandster bash!! :-

) a Dr. A bandster bash. :-) I am to the point that I think I

actually need to get me a " social calender " . lol and that is funny

because when I was heavy we lived out in the woods and we rarely did

anything social. I was beginning to feel like a hermit. and now we

have moved into a new neighborhood that is totally social and we are

meeting tons of people our age and now our calender is filling up

fast!! :-) It think the thing is that we you dont put yourself out

there you dont meet anyone or have friends. and that is what I was

like. I was afraid to put " myself out there " .

well enough babbling for one day.

you have a great day today!! did your kids have a good Halloween?

Well so far so good! I am in San Diego " convalescing " (read

shopping) with my daughter. Our plane back to Washington leaves at

10 am, but we won't be home until about 7 or 8 tomorrow night. I am

getting ready to go lie down now. Kinda overdid it a little. I feel

pretty good except for the hunger pangs. Cant wait till next Sunday

when I graduate to soup! Yum yum!

I'm glad you made it home alright!

Ash and I went shopping last night and I pretty well

overdid it. I was SO SORE last night! I feel good

today, though, and I think I have already lost a

couple of pounds. I can reach things I usta couldn't,

if you know what I mean!

We are heading for the airport in about 45 minutes to

begin our day-ling journey. I am so happy to hear

from you already!! I will let you guys know when we

get home.

Take care of you!

Thanks, !

I arrived home last night. It was HARD at the airport. All I could

smell was STARBUCKS!!!

I am very proud of myself. I did not get coffee, and I did not have

any this morning. At home I add coffemate creamer, which is NOT

clear, and I have a bottle of peppermint mocha sitting in the fridge

staring at me but I told it no, not now. I have already lost 10

pounds. Water or not, I love it!

congrats on your 10 pounds, doesnt that feel so great!! :-) The

airport was a killer for me, especially in San Diego where they have

that stupid pizza booth in the middle of the waiting area. I just

hated that! I am a coffee girl too, must be a Washingtonian thing,

we love our Starbucks out here!! :-) My husband and I have a

tradition that whenever we go riding we always take a Starbucks break

on the way out to ride. :-) We ride our quads out by belfair alot,

and they have a Starbucks out there, so that is our first stop!! :-)

and we go to visit our family in Salt lake lot and with that town

being mormon they dont have a lot of espresso places, so I always

search high and low for some coffee when I am out there!! :-)

again congrats and glad you are home safe.

Wow, ! I just saw the new pics! You guys look GREAT!

The pizza place was hard for me, too. Right now ANYPLACE is hard! I

have been clean and sober for 6 years and last night I went to a

meeting. Someone there was eating chicken, and I had to leave at

half time. I couldn't STAND it! Thank goodness I will be able to

eat chicken soon. Gotta keep that blood poultry level up!

Today is day 6 if I count surgery day as day 1. Is that cheating? I

am supposed to be able to graduate up to thin liquids on day 6. A

cold glass of V8 sounds mighty good right now. I lost another 2

pounds, bringing the total so far to 12. That is pretty fast, I

think, but I don't think I am even getting 200 calories a day right

now. I love the Special K protein water, but it definitely does not

make me feel full. Nothing does at this point. I am ok in the

morning but by bedtime I am weak and irritable. I see my dr this

morning and I bet she will tell me to start taking vitaimins. The

only liquid one I could find was Geritol!

I never drank coffee in my life until visiting Seattle last winter. Now, I have a sugar-free hazlenut, decaf, hazlenut latte EVERY DAY! So, that Washingtonian thing has spread all the way to the southern coast of Alabama!!!

There are many opinions on vitamins, I happen to be a believer. I have a story about these vitamins working a miracle in my 2 yr old son and would be happy to share it again if you want to read about it. But from a more personal side about them, I started these vitamins and about 2 months into them, I started to get A LOT of compliments on my skin and how good it looks, the only thing I had done different was vitamins :) Anyway, I buy them online at www.marketamerica.com/youarebeautiful/ I don't sell them or anything, so please don't think I'm trying to make a profit here I'm just a true believer. Oh, they are called Isotonix. If you go to that website and click on

Isotonix from the main page you will find them. They are in powder form and you add them to 2 oz of water. I can even take them in the AM because they are liquid. I take OPC-3, MultiTech, and Vitamin B.Good luck! Cyrena www.cyrenaweeks.blogspot.com240/153/150DOB: 1/19/07 Re: do you live in WA?

JANICE I MISS YOU!!! I have been printing off pictures and I just

printed one of you and Tawanna before my printer died. Again. Grr.

Do you know I did not get ONE PICURE OF Dr. A or Dr. C? Whata

dork!

Sunday is SOUP DAY for me! It's my birthday, and I am going to have

a huge (4 oz) bowel of squash soup! Yummy! So how are you feeling

besides hungry? I just went to my doc and she said I look great!!

She is very impressed with my experience and wants info on Mexicali

for her patients.

That's funny, Jenni! I was just reading about the most caffienated

cities in America on and out of the top 5, Seattle was not one

of them! They did say, though, that for just coffee Seattle is #1.

The other cities included energy drinks and pills. Go Starbucks!

Ashleigh asked me to ask you (?) if you can get an

Atlanta Braves hat, white, with a small white " a " on

it. She wants to get it for her boyfriend for

Christmas. If you know where to get one, just tell me

how much she would need to send you. If you want to,

that is! I guess (boyfriend) used to have one

and he thinks they are cool. I dont know what

happened to the one he used to have...

Anyway, it is good to talk to you again!!

I would never tell anyone to cheat or go to the next stage early but, I will tell you that by day 7 of my surgery I was not satisfied by clear liquids at all. I started a few sips of skim milk and with a little protein powder. It was the only way to relieve my hunger pains.Janice Stokes <janicestokes2003@...> wrote: HEY THIS JANICE I AM GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOUAND KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SUFFERING, BUT THE BEST IS AHEAD OF US, SO HANG IN THERE.cooladdict <cooladdict > wrote: Wow, ! I just saw the new pics! You guys look GREAT! The pizza place was hard for me, too. Right now ANYPLACE is hard! I have been clean and sober for 6 years and last night I went to a meeting. Someone there was eating chicken, and I had to leave at half time. I couldn't STAND it! Thank goodness I will be able to eat chicken soon. Gotta keep that blood poultry level up!Today is day 6 if I count surgery day as day 1. Is that cheating? I am supposed to be able to graduate up to thin liquids on day 6. A cold glass of V8 sounds mighty good right now. I lost another 2 pounds, bringing the total so far to 12. That is pretty fast, I think, but I don't think I am even getting 200 calories a day right now. I love the Special K protein water, but it definitely does not make me feel full. Nothing does at this point. I am ok in the

morning but by bedtime I am weak and irritable. I see my dr this morning and I bet she will tell me to start taking vitaimins.

Hi there. :-) Yeah those first few weeks are hard, I remember even

hating commercials, it seemed like everywhere I Looked there was

food! arghhhh Oh and about the chicken, I hate to be the bad guy

but many of us have issues with chicken once we are banded. Just a

warning. :-) I can eat it, but it has to be moist, and chicken

breasts dont do as well as the dark meat does. But not everyone

experiences this problem. But for me, chicken is a issue. Oh and

Centrum has a liquid vitamin now, and your local health food store

has many choices. I am now taking the chewable fiber multi

vitamins. because I have to make sure I get my fiber too.

hang in there, you are doing good!! :-) every week it gets easier. :-

Yeah and also they shouldnt allow food in AA meetings, cuz for some

of us food is just as much of an addiction as other things!! trully!

and it is hard to break that addiction!! :-)

I tried a little whey protein in water but it was vanilla and I just

couldn't take it. Blech. By last night I had a V8, but I know I

syhould have waited a couple more days. I don't feel bad today, but

it is pretty soon (day 6) after surgery. I did make the broth recipe

that Nina sent and it was really good! I had a bowel last night and

I still have more for today. Yum.
