Indeed. Green with envy in fact. I soooo wish that I was attending BOOB's with everyone. When I first starting reading lapband blogs, and I came across posts from BOOBs 1.0, I discussed the possibility of attending with hubby. He was keen to come to Chicago with me (and do man-things while I was busy), then we starting looking into costs - it would be about $3000 just in flights. EACH! We briefly toyed with the idea of me flying over by myself, but decided that we couldn't justify it. Not when we already have 2 holidays planned for next year (Italy! and a cruise). So, unfortunately I will not be attending and won't get to meet everyone. Sad face.
Is there anyone going who will have a computer/iphone/ipad that might like to meet up on Skype? Kind of a virtual BOOBs!
In other news, I have realised that I am queen of procrastination. I am trying to finish writing a job application that is due tomorrow (same workplace, slightly different job), but here I am. Writing a blog post :p
Things have been a little bouncy on the scales so far this week. One day I actually saw 82.9kg, however it was gone the next day and I'm sitting at 83.1kg. Two days until my official weigh in, hopefully the scales will behave themselves by then. Although my TOM is due any moment now, so I don't like my luck. Eating has been really good, and I'm looking forward to graduating to "real food" this Tuesday. Can you believe it has been nearly 4 weeks since my surgery? It will be interesting to see if I can notice a change even though there isn't really any fluid in my band.
I suppose I should go and work on this job application. Gee I really hate writing these things.
Ta-ta for now!
I hear ya on the BOOB envy. I really wish I could go. I could even say it's for my birthday (Oct. 1) But alas, no extra money, no extra time. I'm hoping for next year.
ReplyDeleteJust think it'll be 10 times more fun if they have one next year because you'll maybe have gotten a chance to know everyone even better. :)
ReplyDeleteI have got super BOOB envy too - Chicago is way too far away!! Love your new blog design! xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job app.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to go to Chicago next year too. This year just was not in the cards. But Ronnie is right, it will be even better next year after getting to know people better through their blogs.
"Bood Envy"... here I thought this was going to be a post about us "C" cuppers and our.. nevermind. I'm not going to BOOBS either - sad face...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job!! Oh, and I love, love, LOVE the new blog look!!
I have been green for months with BOOBS envy myself. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the four weeks post surgery! I will tell you that I did not have any saline in my band for 13 months and I lost 70 pounds that way the first time around!
ReplyDeleteSo do not be discouraged. Some of us have great restriction without fills! I have only had two fills in four years. I have 2cc in a 4cc band!
I love the new look as well. You will be missed at BOOBS. I am so excited that I am fortunate enough to live so close.
I'm so jealous of everyone getting to go to BOOBS too! I missed out on the first one and now the second one. *sigh* Maybe 3.0 will be the magic number for both of us.
