Hey Dianne, yes, please ask your doctor before increasing your meds. As far as the fill. I just had my 2nd visit with my doc on friday. I asked him for a fill and he said at the rate I'm losing I don't need one. I said to him that I was struggling to keep my food calories low and that I can eat the walls. I also told him I didn't know how much longer I can keep it this low 1200. And I'm going to start exercising (I get more hungry when I exercise) so he said I could get a fill in 3 weeks if I wanted. Once he understood that I was struggling he said okay. I'm scheduled for a fill on January 6th.... This holiday is going to be a challenge for me b/c I'm hungry 1 hour after I eat. So...... if your climbing the walls with hunger get a fill, if not then don't. Good luck !!!! Hey, how's things going in NC? We got snow here today.

Aint it the truth !!!!!!

I didn't potty until the 4th or 5th day. Don't worry it will come If for some reason it doesn't call your doc and ask if there's anything you can take. Don't panic WELCOME to bandland.

Good to see you !!! HUGS

WOW congratulations on your weight loss... good job !! Call your doc and ask for an unfill..... Good luck and please let us know what happened.

Hi Jackie and Welcome !!!!!! Good luck, I hope you don't have to wait anymore. You have a wonderful attitude...Love it !!!! Hugs

Yes, I am still doing laundry, it never ends, sheets, blankets, a gazillion little socks that come out of no where. I was kind of hoping it couldn't be fixed because I really want one of those front loading washers, they look so cool. But with things slowing down at my Dh's work because of his bad back (he works for himself) Its a good thing Sears fixed my machine. Cindy & Patty, How nice to get all those lovely gifts, golden mouse ears is the best !!!!! Can't wait to see pictures of Cindy in her lovely ears and Patty's party for Lewis. ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!! Pat, oh Pat....how was the cookie swap thingy party. Did you get any great recipies? Was DH mad LOLOL !!! snort. Betty boop !!! are you still baking? Ohh... I wanted to ask you. Do you freeze your Cookies? how do they stay good until christmas? My thumb prints don't stay good for long so I was wondering if there was a secret. Whatcha doing today? Lisa good luck with your testing this week and keep on those insurance people. Zan, how are you liking this snow? did you get alot in the city? Ira, whats the scoop ????

Yes, it is wearing me down... BUT !!! knowledge is good and you have to realize that these things don't happen to everyone (I know they can). There are millions I'm sure of happy bandsters so don't let it get to you, PRESS ON !!!

Patty I slept in my recliner for 4 nights, I just could not lay down strait, or even with a bunch of pillows under me. My recliner really did save me

Try to train the brain in thinking that veggies ARE good for you and not punishment, which they really are. Your body is so loving all the nutrients its getting from healthy food. So you are not being bad to yourself if you eat healthy. Try to remember that junk will always be on the shelf, even long after we are gone. You only have one life, live it to the fullest.....you deserve to be happy !! just believe in yourself. Its hard but your so worth it and you can do it....just don't be so hard on yourself if you goof once in a while. Hugs to you Lou (and psssssssst...your not alone)

Yep 6 weeks, my doc just cleared me. Be careful you don't wanna rip your innards.

I've had two tummy surgeries (c section and appendix) the appendix surgery left me with a scar from my hip to my belly button and even at my smallest weight I could not get my apron to disapear. For me I would need surgery to remove the skin. If your young you probably have a good shot of reducing it with exercise. Even thoug I know mine won't go flat, I'm still going to do exercise to reduce it. Good luck !!!

Wait there's more santa's !!!!!!!!! WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE they are nice Pat. I love gingerbread people (things) so i kinda collect that, well not alot b/c I have no where to put them LOL !!!!! But I love gingerbread things. My mom has a santa dressed in black leather that dances, its the cutest biker santa. LOVE YOUR SANTA's Cindy can't wait to see outdoor pictures as well whooohoo...this is cool.

Pat what a darling harley tree and your house IS beautiful. .. EDIT !! I just saw the additional pictures, what a beautiful tree !!!! I'm sorry, I giggled at the cookie thing too. Are you going to go to the party? I'm sure they want you there weather or not you have Cookies lol. Enjoy the beach Patty, some men just don't think (sorry Ira) the world revolves around them and nothing else matters (JMHO). Well never mind him, you just have a good time today and tomorrow. I hope Lewis has a wonderful weekend. Cindy, have fun decorating and to win the best is awesome !!! We never take a family picture, maybe I should... nah, maybe next year LOL. Washing machine is fixed...$157.00 later...oy vey. But it still beats buying a new one. Crapola, now I have no excuse about doing laundry LOL !!! Back to cleaning OH I FORGOT !!! I won a silver necklace with diamonds and a blue topaz stone in the middle of it from Kmart. They were having a raffle and i won WHOOHOOO its beautiful, i never expected it to be that nice. Best thing of all I have matching earings, I mean its like they were a set (the earings were my sisters) LOL

This might sound crazy but do you drink a ton of Water? I notice when I slack off on my water so does my weight but when I start my day off with a big jug of water and then another in the afternoon, the freakin weight moves again and let me just say I am a couch potato. I just got the okay to start exercising yesterday. Are you getting in enuf Fiber? you can eat alot (volume) of veggies and stay at low calories. I like the mushy veggies, they go down easier than chewing a big ol hunk of broccoli. I agree with every one here, please don't lower your calories to low, its not healthy. What you can try is staggering your calories, one day 1200, next day 1000, then 1200, then maybe 900. It might trick your body and give it the boost you need. Good luck !!!! Hugs

Good Luck !!!!

Same here as Tricia, I had to go to a nutritionalist before surgery who explained all my dietary info. Plus after surgery I got a packet from the hospital with the dietary stuff in it. I didn't have to do any liquids before surgery, my doc said eat and enjoy ROFL !!! just dont eat or drink from midnight the day before. That was hard b/c my surgery wasn't until the next day at 5 pm. My surgeon didn't really say anything to me other than we went over my health and what he was going to put in the letter to the insurance company. I had no questions for him because I asked them all when I went to his seminar about the surgery.

Hiya Keli....... welcome !!!

Good Morning Zan, well, us two can always meet up some where Wholey smokes, Wisconsin !!! I have one friend out there. Its funny you say call in sick because I do have a sore throat and a full head LOLOL !!!! Hey, I'm just gettin ready for the snow on Monday...ICK !!! I told dH I was gonna call in sick ROFL !!! I have NO sick time left lol. Beanie, your a pistol. I come from a fat gene pool too. My G'ma, Aunt, Father, all chubsters. Its funny because there are 7 of us kids and only two of us are really big. I think alot of our weight problems (me and my sister) come from negelect. We were & 6 and 7, both parents worked like animals and well, we went thru life just being. We never got any attention or support (not that they didn't love us now) so out of boredom me and my sister ate for comfort, company, attention. Hope your back feels better in time for work (nasty 4 letter word isn't it lol). Well here I sit awaiting for Sears to come and fix my washing machine. They give you a time that they are coming... between 8 am and 5 pm.... isn't that sweet of them. OY. Like I wanna spend my last shopping day home ROFL. Actually its okay, DD has a cold and needs to rest so this will keep my feet nailed down today. Whats everyone doing this weekend?

YAHOOOIE, Congratulations

Hi Dawn and Welcome Wowee that date is right around the corner. Congratulations. I did 3 weeks of liquids, 2 of clear liquid and 1 of thicker liquids. Everyone is different the first few weeks. Some people are not hungry for weeks and then there's me. I was hungry from day one. The Clear Liquids was imho very hard for me but I kept thinking about the reward at the end (which is more weight loss). Thicker liquids wasn't so bad, more manageable. Then mushies was better and now I can eat everything Hang in there and try not to worry about what you don't know will happen. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones and won't be hungry. It will be a breeze, you'll see. Hugs and good luck !! Eileen
