Hey, just checking in here. Had a beautiful day up here in northern Michigan. I went for a 40 minute walk this afternoon. Thought I could use some exercise while I'm away from home. Had pizza tonight and could only eat a slice and started a second and well, I knew that was it.

I am a licensed physical therapist assistant and do homehealth care, and work part time in a rehab hospital and will start some work in a nursing home when I get back.

I have 3 kids, daughter 16, son 15, son 13 and an exchange student daughter who is 16...So I HAVE 4 TEENAGERS living with me.....HELP!!! (Just kidding...they're great, really!!)

Mary - I couldn't imagine having that many teenagers in the house!! I do just fine with one - he had five friends over one night and I said never again! I just don't have the tolerance for that many at one time. You're a saint!

My husband and I own an auto body shop, and have many rental properties. I manage the office for both. Its a lot to keep up with and I had a baby 6 1/2 months ago and am just getting back to work at work. I was working from home up until recently following the birth of our second child.

We have two children, both girls. Our baby Luciana is 6 1/2 months and our oldest Julia will be six years next Monday. My poor husband is ran ragged by all his girls lol. We also have two big german shepherd dogs, both males named Gunther and Reese, they are 1yr. and 2yrs. old. And last but not least is the fattest black cat you've ever seen, named Grizz, he's a pest but we've had him for 8-9 yrs. now and he's just like a person in our family.

Hey Susan,

You may think your weight loss is slow but that's awesome going from 24's to 20's. I know how hard that can be because I was in 24's too. Doesn't it feel good to buy smaller clothes. Be patient, and when you get your fill good and tight it will come off faster. It took me getting to 3.0cc's in a 4cc's band and now I'm very tight. Just wanted to say hi and keep in touch.

You're doing great, Susan! At least you're out there exercising!!

I go to my fill doctor next Friday the 17th...I'm 7cc's in a 10cc band. I don't feel the restriction I did a week or so ago...I don't know if we'll add another cc or just leave it alone for another month...we'll see.

I'm off to work - just wanted to say hello and have a great day!

      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.
