Melody I love the grass story. I can so relate. We have 5 acres and our grass does not look neat and tidy. We try but it gets away from us sometimes.

Hummingbird good luck with the fill, Osmosis is the correct answer from what I have been told.

Wondering what is making the elephant noises on my roof!

Glad to hear you're home! What a nightmare with the food!

Big apologies to everyone. Somehow FB has deleted a number of my 'friends' and since I don't have your full and complete names, can't find you on FB to refriend you. So if I'm not on your friend list anymore, could you send me another request to Melody Parker Upham? Thanks!

The wedding is Sunday and we're in the final countdown so may not be around much for the next few days. I don't know if the stress of the wedding is doing it but I'm holding *a lot* of Fluid right now and my blood pressure has been really high. So somewhere in today's madness I guess I'd better give the doc a call.

I know I haven't commented much the last few days on other posts, but you know I'm thinking of you guys. Denise...quit eating like a madwoman! Crystal...glad to hear you're fill did the trick. Elcee...glad to hear you're home and you just ignore those dust bunnies!

Hi Everyone. Elcee, what a story!

Melody, best wishes for the wedding. I've quit eating, had another week where stuff was getting stuck. Was facilitating a meeting. Ate three bites of a banana on a break, you guessed it....ugh. I had to excuse myself for a couple of minutes to urp. What fun! NOT.

I picked up my new ring setting yesterday. It is great to be able to wear my diamond without it spinning around on my finger! I just love it!

Not much else going on around here.

Wow...I went away and the thread died! Is anyone still here?

Since getting my band out, I managed to take off a few more pounds but I've just been maintaining at the 200 lb mark. I'm doing well with my Bernstein diet (just Protein and green vegies) but having difficulty keeping the calories at the 1200 mark...which I need to do consistently if I want to lose even 4 pounds per month. I'll have a good week or two and then have a week or two at 1800-2000 calories which sort of offsets the two good weeks. Damned insulin resistance. :angry:

My band doctor calls me once a month to see if I've changed my mind about getting the sleeve but I just can't bring myself to do it. I may have to reconcile myself to being 200 pounds (which was better than 330 lbs!) the rest of my life.

Hope you're all doing well.

I know, our thread kinda died.

I'm still at about the same place. I have not taken off the few pounds I gained, but am still at a pretty good place.

I still have that sinking feeling that I sprung a leak because I am able to eat more than I did while I was losing.

I can also eat more of a variety. Maybe I just went with the too tight band for so long I don't know how to act.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
