Hi, The meeting is 6-7:30pm in the waiting room. I hope to attend on Mon after a long absence. I look forward to meeting you!!

What day is the support group? Thanks

Hi Jen, I was ashamed and angry with myself. I think you should be very proud of yourself with your weight loss. It's just a platea. And I think we all need to review our info again. I don't feel ANY restriction AT ALL. I have never lost it or been stuck. I have felt very uncomfortable but, not enought to stop me from eating. I want to feel something!! I too think I need more protein & water. but then I'm constantly constipated. This week I started to Juice, that helps alot. I also asked my husband to not let me know when he brings junk food and sweets in the house. But tonight he ate a pint of Haigen Das in front of me. Yikes!! I need to talk with all of you more, to help me get going in the right direction again.

Hi Ladies, Sorry I haven't been around. Paige, sorry you've had to go thru new surgeries. But You are back and that's what counts. I fell off the wagon during the holidays and gained a few lbs. Then I suffered a compression fracture of my T-11 from advanced osteoperosis and was bed ridden all of Jan & Feb. I have been going to PT 3 times a week ever since. I have never endured such a crippling pain in my life. I didn't eat like a maniac, just all the wrong choices. I lost 35 lbs. total but, have gain all but 10 lbs. Talk about discouraged. I have an appointment to See Dr. R an the dietician in 2 weeks. I dread facing him but I am starting all over again. If he gives me a scolding he won't like what he will get in return!!!! I am not going to beat myself up anymore. None of us went into multiple surgeries to intentionally FAIL!! Jennifer, how many cc's of fill are you up to? I only have 9.25 and I'm sick of paying $350 for a .5cc fill. I want to feel restriction NOW! I am coming up to a year June 15th. So what is the date of the next support group? May 9th at 6pm? I NEED to get support bad! How is the new dietician? Thanks for listening to me rant!!

Hi

I sure hope everything goes okay!! I'm sticking with the diet plan for stage 3 but I've gained 4 lbs. No cheating, I guess I'm getting more calories than the shakes gave me. I'm not going to worry about it though. I see Dr. R on the 26th and hope I get a fill then. See you Mon.

I'm planning on coming.

Hi Nean, I started soft food this wed.:tt1:!!!! I'm going real slow cause I'm scared I'll throwup. I lost 10 since surg and 30 total so far. I actually felt like a human this week!! We've had some cool dry refreshing air the last couple days, so I got to work in my garden!! It felt good!! We are expecting a long heat wave for the next week. Yuk, I'll have to hide in the air conditioned house. I don't do the 90's and humid. I postponed my ocean vacation until Sept. cause my original date was July 7th. I live about 40 min ride to Cape Cod so I'll do some day trips to the beach. I hope you are doing well. I'd love to hear how you're doing.

Thanks Ladies, I'll play around with it, it can't be too hard. Have a GREAT weekend!! Happy 4th!! :tt1: Everyone!!!!!!

I had my gallbladder removed 3/31/10 as day surgury and was home by noontime. I remember the day and the gas pains were worse than the lapband surgery. I don't regret a thing and am 2 weeks post-op. I started soft "real" food yesturday. Very happy to not look at those shakes :tt1:!!!
