I know that not many of you guys get on anymore, at least not very often. I am thinking my pouch may be stretched so I am putting myself on a week of liquids just to check. Won't be too bad. Going to drink a lot of protein shakes though. I am still not going ANYWHERE! Except up a little. No more than 2 or 3 lbs back and forth. I am just sick of it though so decided to do something a little drastic. I hope it will be worth it. Liquids for a week. Day 1. ug. -

Congratz on getting your consult! About vitamins, I just buy the gummy ones from costco. I bought some that are fruit flavored, and I just take 2 a day. I bet you could even take them while you are on your post op liquid diet, because they are the clear kind. -

Congrats!! Gotta be a great feeling! I have been stuck in the 240's for months even though I had a fill in Jan. I am hoping I can get one next month at the latest. It is very frustrating. I feel like if I could just get into the 230's that I could do this thing. -

Plateaus suck, but you will get there! -
Now I am really scared!!!!!!
lotzasunshine replied to Bell1138's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really do not believe that is possible. I have NEVER heard of such a thing! The band is placed around your stomach, nowhere NEAR your airway. If you are really concerned about this, call your surgeon, and ask. But you cannot believe everything you read on these boards unfortunately. -

Well, got my fill on Tuesday, and I feel like it is already helping! I am also back on track with making protein a priority. I had a really frustrating day though. First I get to Denver, and Super shuttle makes me wait 45 minutes, and then I find out that my 1:45 appt is really at 2 because Dr. K had surgery in the morning. So my 2:15 pick up time isn't going to work, and they refuse to send someone else to pick me up! So by the time I got to the medical center, I was stuck trying to find a way back to the airport. They were so sweet at the office and let me use a computer. I ended up having to take a cab. But I used Union taxis because they only charged abt $43. Anyway, after all the fuss, I ended up being done with my appointment at 2:12 so the pick up time would have worked anyway!!! AAARRRRGGG!!!!:thumbup: Well, at least I have my fill now, and am going to be losing again. Dr. was very good about making sure I wasn't filled too much, because I was really stressed about having that nightmare happen again. Now I feel like I can handle my fill without any problems. Thank goodness for fills!!! -

You guys are looking great! Thought I would post mine. I haven't lost a lot this year because of an over fill, but I am down around 65 lbs. Not NEARLY as fast as I wish it would go, but at least it is going. -
just as a note. Your starting weight is what you weighed as of 1/1/2010. Also, PLEASE make sure not to change anyone else's statistics when you adjust your own. Thanks guys!

This is a continuation of the last of 2008 challenge. I have pretty much just copied our format over here and hopefully it will work. Everyone needs to put their weight as it is when joining the challenge, then put your current weight, and then your goal and how much you have to go. Do the quote from the last person who posted add yourself in alphabetical order and update your stats. Good luck everyone, and here it is! Keep in mind that this is for the whole year.
