  1. Vicki So glad to hear your doing well :thumbup: Just got back from Florida so hadnt heard the latest until now. Hopefully you will get the fill soon! Maria
  2. I hope all goes well for you Vicki.. I am sure hoff will do everything he can. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Maria
  3. Oh Vicki.. I feel so bad for you. :cursing: I hope everything turns out alright. Does Barb have any idea how this could have happened? Stay strong girlfriend and congrats on your weight loss. Maria
  4. Thanks Val..I am trying to be more positive about it than I was over the weekend. It was such a shock so it hit me hard for a few days. It will take time to adjust. He did come with me for the first fill today which was nice cuz I wasnt sure how it would feel.. wow wasnt bad at all !
  5. Wow that is sooo great for you Vicki !!!! I was at Hoff's today at 1:15.. what time were you there? Had my first fill today, 1cc. He drew out the original amount from surgery and there was 1.5 cc to start, so now I have 2.5 total. Hope it helps cuz right now i have basically the same appetite I started with.:frown: Ugh gotta stop! Go back in 6 weeks.
  6. Yeah I guess it was better for me that he waited til afterward. To bad I wont see you tomorrow. Maybe the next group meeting!
  7. Jenn I know how you feel about the water...I have such a hard time with it too. Yvette..glad to hear you dont need another scope! I see the doc tomorrow at 1:15. Anyone else have an appt around that time? This will be my 6 week check up. Hope they do a fill as I am still hungry after eating and still at a stand still. Maybe that would help a bit. In the dumps today as boyfriend and I broke up over the weekend after 8 years. Shitty but i think he's found someone else. My heart is broken :confused: and this makes dieting even harder with this depression. I really think he waited til I got through the surgery to break it off as he was my support person. Maria
  8. Thanks Vicki and Yvette :scared2: It does make me feel better to hear your words of encouragement ..and yeah cant believe I was cursing already too !! :cursing: Maria
  9. Hi Everyone.. Well its been almost 5 weeks since surgery and only lost weight the first 3 weeks. The last 2 weeks I haven't lost anything Doc Hoff said the first couple months you lose the most but wow this is crazy. Ive only lost 10 lbs so far and like i said it was in the first few weeks. I am soooo depressed...anyone hear of this happening? I am not eating any more than you would on weight watchers and have been sticking to very low fat foods, lots of protein, no sugar and not to many carbs. Help!! Maria
  10. Vicki..Pretty sure the meeting is wed. jan 20. Its the 3rd wed of each month. Never been to one either Maria
  11. Thanks Vicki.. Not sure when you get the first fill but getting a little nervous about it. Afraid of the stuck feeling Anyone going to the group meeting this month? Maria
  12. Hi everyone I had my surgery about 3 weeks ago and now i am eating soft solids. The cabbage soup sounds soooo good but I have no idea when i can start having cabbage I am eating way more than what the sample diet suggests :biggrin: I hope i am not stretching the pouch out already cuz I am pretty much always hungry....ugh dont know what to do. Anyway, hope you all had a good holiday, I was doing liquids (that was really hard). Disney is so much fun..will be there in March Maria
  13. omg Renee so sorry to hear that. I am astonished and feel horrible for you. Just cannot believe this has happened. Maria
  14. Hi everyone, My surgery is now going to be next Monday dec 21 instead of Jan. Found out my insurance company will be changing as of Jan 1 at work so we got the surgery date switched before the change just in case. Getting nervous but also very excited. Went in yesterday for final weigh in. They didnt mention anything about getting weighed in the day of surgery..ugh i hope not :thumbup:. I have to do the south beach phase one this week and feel like it makes me gain weight :thumbup:. I hope the first month after surgery isnt as hard as it seems with the food limitations. Talk to you soon.. Maria
  15. Congratulations Rain !! I'm sure we're all going to enjoy hearing all the exciting updates :sad: Maria
  16. Hope everyone has a Wonderful Thanksgiving :thumbup: Maria
  17. Happy Birthday Vicki !!!!!:thumbup: Its been a few days since Ive been on here. Hope you had a great day :frown: Maria
  18. Thanks Girls for your congrats on my surgery date! Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Jenn, hope you feel better soon. Seems to be going around I was able to make the 5% weight loss (took a while) but am finding it hard to go much further. Hopefully we will all do well during the holidays ... not easy but we can try to do our best Maybe we can even stay the same and not gain..i would be happy with that!! :tongue2: Maria
  19. Hello everyone Saw Dr.H today and got a surgery date of Jan 18 !! Could have had the week of Christmas but I will be going on vacation 2 weeks later so decided to wait til I come back. Looking forward to this just still seems so far off. Glad to see everyone is doing well with the weight loss :thumbup: Maria
  20. Vicki, My appt is at 10:00. Not sure how long these visits take, oh hopefully not 4 hours Maria
  21. Hi Vicki I got out at 1:00, darn I just missed you :redface: My appt with Hoffman is on Wed. November 4. I am very excited to finally have a date on the calendar to meet with him. I am hoping to meet you and the girls from this site at one of the support group meetings soon. Wishing everyone the best :wink2: Maria
  22. Vicki.. I have my 3 hour nurse appt tomorrow starting at 11:00. I will probably just be finishing at around 2:00. I will look for you! I was thinking that when I turned 50 two years ago the weight loss became so much harder I will be 53 this month and i have been told that I am going through all the menopausal issues too. I sympathize with you :biggrin: Maria
  23. Yeah Vicki..I hate skinny people that say "Why don't you just lose 5 lbs." or "Just go on a diet" Ugh, Drives me nuts... Maria
  24. WOW you girls are doing great!!!!!!! Maria:thumbup:
