"SO this year I am counting the pounds I lose as double pounds. For every pound I lose, that's really a 2 pound loss because I would have never stopped gaining without my LB. " leona i like the way you do the math i think that is the way i'll start counting my weight loss i go mon for a fill hoping that it will be the "one" susan<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

sweets and chocolate go down just fine and i'm still not filled to my sweet spot it is just taking a while to get there i go on the 15th for my 4th fill and hopefully this will be the one :welldone: my mother always said i couldn't follow the rules for anything!!! i think that was her way of saying i'm stubborn. i wanted to loss the weight by just eating less of what i have always ate and not really make changes in my diet but to loss you have to diet and that has just sunk into my hard head so i trying to do ww and exercise more. i walk 2-3 miles 3-4 times a week. and after next fill i hope the weightloss will pick up and also my thyroid and hormones(menopause) and age has probably made some difference too.:think

lisa i'm pretty sure it is the 3rd monday so that will be next week

lisa good to hear from you will you be at the support meeting this month and i can/t remember if it is this mon or next i'll have to call someone tomorrow and find out!!! mother is a strong woman and she will is ok just a little lonely. my daughter lives in irving and she has a dog she is going to visit a friend this week so we are dog sitting for dog her, my dogs call her the dog from hell because she upsets everyones routine while she is here. cant wait until i get to take her home next sunday(we dont have grandkids just a granddog) one of the girls at work is doing weight watchers and since i'm not losign she has talked me into trying it too we aren't going to meetings just trying to follow the plan!! susan

i'll try 10 but i belong to the slow losers club so this might be too high of a goal but i'm gonna give it a shot!!

hey lisa how u doing????

hi ruthie good to hear from you it has been a looong time! glad you are losing i'm a very slow loser but as you say key word is loser!!!! hugs to you susan

how long does it take for your fill to kick in? i've been really slow to get to my sweet spot and are always ready for another fill way before the 4-6 wks my dr recommends is up. last fill i noticed that at about 3 wks after the fill i began to feel a little tighter but thought it was just my imagination but it has been around 3 weeks since the last one and again things are a little tighter . i had read that sometimes it takes a while but this seems to be a little longer and i was just curious if anyone else had notice this

oh wana i thought u had a date i heard from lisa early this morning she said sha was ok and no my husband isn't having sx he's a skinny fart and i have not gained any this last 2 weeks which is surprising because i've ate all the stuff just not as much as last yr. and i havenot exercised much i had a bad cold last week and didn't feel like walking and i don't have an excuse for this week i'm sad today my husband and i had to bury my mom's dog today she got run over by a car. we live in the country and the dog was a farm dog and she wasn't in a fenced in yard and mother lives on a very busy farm market road and we all knew that the dog would probably get hit but is was so sad mother is 83 and had really got attached to the dog. sorry you had to listen to all my problems susan

wanna`be thin doing ok finally got rid of all the good stuff to eat so maybe i'll do better now i didnt gain during the holiday but have not lost much either got to get back to my walking and eating better when is your sx i'll be thinking of you on the pre op diet susan

lisa remember i'm just down the road if you need me

hey hey lisa g how's it going!!!!

YAY!!!! lisa g

i had jaw pain along with bad left shoulder and chest pain for about a month after sx i still have the shoulder pain slightly if i over eat, but once the swelling from sx was gone the jaw pain went away.

lisa g how's it going this has to be a hard time to be one the liquid diet i was really naughty and ate everything i wanted just lots less than normal haven't lost but haven't gained either so i'm happy!!! just 2 1/2 more days for you!!!! you are in my thoughts and prayers this week susan

hey beth i tried your pralines today and they were so easy and came out great!!! thanks for the great recipe

robinem i'm like you i'm losing very slowly but i can still eat most anything i want i'm not getting that much protein either but i'm losing inches i've gone from a tight 24 to a 20 but only lost 20lbs ijust hope i hold my own thro christmaS and i go 1-15 for my 4th fill maybe this one will be the magic fill

sugarbear my total was 14800 for anthes. surg. center and dr cost at that time they were not doing surg. at st michael i dont know if they do now or not and i dont know if they are still doing them at the surg. center but i dont live in texarkana and they are now doing the suport meeting in mt. pleasant so i dont see many people that have the surg. from out side of mp oh yea i think the cost at whatley was around 17000

hi sally jo i'm from mt. pleasant (about 50 miles) and we have a support meeting here that our dr. from texarkana provides if you need more info let me know we will not meet in dec but will have a meeting in jan. they also do fills on pt from mexico and would pro. do yours ( i'm just guessing about that) looks like you are doing pretty with the wl good luck finding a support group
