hahahahaha that too! FOR SURE!

Hey guys, it's great to see so many jumping on the team!!!! I have to give credit where crdit is due though, it was Jena who came up with it and made the banner! I am sure she wouldn't mind if you all took the banner as your own if you want! But, don't be asking me how to go about it because it took me quite a while last night to figure out how to do it and then I still needed DoLittle to help! I am not too bright when it comes to that sort of thing. Now cats on the other hand, I like to think I am an expert. Ok, not an expert, just anal. When I got my first, I decided to become an obsessive researcher in all things cats! Then adopted 8 more!

Uh, I meant the banner, not all the crap that went on. That was sad, and we tried to make light of it.

Good explanation Cathy! In addition, it was fun, and weird, and I like weird! And what the heck, makes us laugh. Keeps the mood light and can't help but giggle when you read it. So should keep us all smiling and giggling. See Jena, you are becoming famous!!!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you, both of you. No, all 3 of you. Being thinner will make you healthier and make you live longer for each other and for your child! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the fiber train? HAHAHAHAHAHAA That was a good one Michelle!

It's not a wash dear, just add up the amount from the time it was 4000 and then whatever it says the rest of the day!

WOW, I am so proud of you Alana! What a wonderful blog and very well written! Plus, it is almost like my own personal story. Don't you ever stop writing that blog, it's very important and you are doing an excellent job! A lot of people will see it and see themselves in it. You are very brave for writing what you have done so far. And I would never have guessed you were only 24. You are wise beyond your years!

Thank you for all this good info. She does sound very caring. I would be unhappy about waiting too. Hey, if I need another fill in August, maybe be can make it the same day and meet up for lunch. Oh, soup, I mean.

14,098 is fantastic!!! 5 days on clear liquids? Even the OCC only has you liquid for 3 days. You will be swollen, so you really do need to do the liquid for at least 3 days, but it can be any liquid, not necessarily clear. I wouldn't be happy about that either. Lets see what other have to say about it, but I almost want to say 3 days should be enough. But, did you like her? Was the office easy to find? Did it hurt? Did she find your port easily?

Yes Cathy, I am afraid you ARE destined to be a human ball of gas, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As we all are!

Even with no formal training yet, they will still take volunteers if they don't have enough of the trained ones to come out. There are tons of jobs to do even without training. Thanks so much!!!

The burping really hurt the first few weeks after surgery. You will definitely keep on burping but it shouldn't hurt after a while. Oh, and don't forget the gas out the other end. I have so much more of that now.

OH CRAP WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!! Don't let people hear you say that, it will ruin my reputation!!! And I have worked so hard to get it.

Good for you, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! I am very proud to be a part of that organization. They truly have saved countless animals. There are a lot of other organizations out there that fake it. Like Animal Planet. They have a rescue truck they simply 'park' at a disaster to garner attention but don't really do any rescue work. It is all for advertising. Same as with the National SPCA's and Humane Society's. Then there is PETA who does do some rescue but then kills 95% of the animals they rescue. Yes, PETA! Most people are not aware that PETA believes in killing cats and dogs simply because there are not enough homes for them. THey are soo hypocritical. Sorry for blabbering, just can't help myself sometimes!!

I love your pictures!!! They are so cute!!!! Oh I just LOVE animals!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE A NEW BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy you got her!!! I cannot wait to see pictures! And the name, oh the name is perfect. Daisy Lucille, oh I am so freaking happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had hoped you would go get her. Lucy must be looking down at you so happy to have helped you rescue another baby. You did good Kim!! Oh geez, I am such an a$$, I have happy tears now!!!!!!!!!!! Send me your favorite pics of Lucy. I usually use two of them but like to have a variety to choose from.

Nah, not today. It's too late, I'm too swollen and I just ate. And it's only wednesday! If, and thats a big if, I get on the scale before the weekend, I will post it. No matter what it is.

I like GNC 100% whey protein. THe only one that really kept me full. Chocolate Caramel flavor. But doubel the scoops and make with 2% milk. MMMMMMM

Go to your local air conditioned mall and walk briskly around it for several laps. I do that for my walking contest when it is too hot. Those of you in Placerville, you know of Noahs WIsh? They are centered right there. They do animal rescue in disasters. I volunteer with them!! I've been to Ohio for Hurricane Ivan and to Louisiana for Katrina. I wish I could go to Iowa or California for the fires, but since we are responsible for our own expenses, I just couldn't afford it this year with all my Mexico trips. So hard to sit back and no tbe able to go and help!!

Suddenly, a pair of pants that I have on today is REALLY big! I just wore them 2 weeks ago and they weren't his big then! But, today they are real baggy. I am soooo dying to step on the scale, but I won't until the weekend. Everytime I do I get disappointed so I will wait. I think it's time to pull out the tape measure too. Maybe I'll wait for the weekend for that too. Is it possible to have a big enough drop overnight like this? I mean, my pants are HUGE today!

OH MY GOD, 10,203 already? OH MY GOD your car is missing and maybe stolen? OH MY GOD you might miss your fill? WOW, you are right, what a day!! Good luck and stay positive and let us know what you find out!

THANK YOU, exactly what I wanted to say!! And to top it off, it took me 2 weeks on the Adkins diet, but once I got over the initial 2 weeks on it, I no longer craved carbs, sugar and anything unhealthy. I have never felt better in my life when I was on that diet. I loved it. More energy, slept better, just all around good mood. Even if I wouldn't have lost weight, it still made me feel better than I ever have in my life. Also, it is almost impossible to consume no carbs whatsoever. Even most veggies have a few carbs in them. So does cheese. And the body only needs very few carbs, not what we as Amercans tend to eat each day. I will continue to say doing the Adkins diet was the best thing I ever did and even now, after banding, I am basically still following it. Well, sort of. Doing my meat/protein and veggies with a small fruit cup each day. No bread, sugar, candy, rice, potatoes etc. None of the crappy carbs. And the best thing is that once you get carbs out of your life, you will be amazed how good you feel and how you don't even crave them anymore.

HAHAHAHA Hey, good luck with your fill today!!! And post as soon as you get home!! I ended the day at 17,001!!!! Right now at 9 am here I am at 5,441 so get moving!!!
