Mer - keep us straight, Sue is the meeting lady and I (Wendy) am the one with the fabric for you. I like Sue's idea of showing up and doing something fun together if it's canceled. . . . maybe a movie!

I weighed this morning and I was on another '9' number! I don't know why the weight is falling off so fast right now but this must be what they mean about a sweet spot, Ten pounds in 8 days. I can only imagine the plateau I'm going to hit when this slide stops.

I'm walking this morning if anyone wants to come!

Good morning everyone,

Well I have a couple of NSV I'd like to share. 1st - A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to wear my wedding ring again!!!! I refused to have it sized up so I hadn't been able to wear it for a couple of years. I was just wearing different rings.

2nd - being able to put on T-shirts right out of the dryer and not having to stretch them to make them loose. YEAH!!!!

Hope everyone's doing well.

Riahg - hang in there. I know it seems like forever but you're more than halfway there. You wont always have to do all this documenting. I think you're doing fantastic.

I didn't think you could stay away from the sewing, I know you love it too much! What's the interview?

Dawn...

Congrats on the NSV. I did have my ring sized a while back, and the other day at work i knocked my hand on the desk and it fell off...guess I'll have to size it down soon :) I'm not stretch my shirts anymore either!!!

Okay . . . I was at this dinner party tonight and my friend brought these Sorbet's that were in the fruit that corresponded with the flavor. Orange in an orange, lemon in a lemon etc. She is currently on Weight Watchers and said they were one point each. she got them at Costco! How did I not know about these before now and who out there did know and didn't tell the rest of us?!!!!! Shame on you! They were delicious!!

I've been spending all day cleaning out my bedroom, every little inch. Getting rid of STUFF! But even though I'm in a "get rid of it mood, I'm always up for a girl's day out!!!

PS...finally down a pound today! I've seen only 2's (222) for 11 days. No that the plateau was soooo long, but i was so tired of 2's! By the way, I ate a little more the last 2 days, that seems to break my palteaus...hard to believe, but it works!!!

hey there, did I miss a support group meeting at St. Joe's on Monday night? I was still in Portland cleaning out my mom-in-laws house.

Mer - talk about antiques . . . I brought back lots of very old dishes and stuff. How do I find out if they are valuable or junk? Whens the celebration? I could meet today around noon to walk the mall if you want.

Call me!

Hey Wendy,

I was just at the mall yesterday, so I kind of don't feel like going again today....but thanks! I would like to catch up with ya!

As for the dishes, etc. You could probably look them up on ebay and see what they are going for.....or just an online search in general, but that would be a little more difficult.

Mer - Did your son-in-law tell you I called? I was in the north end and thought I would drive over to see you but he said you were not available . . .does that mean sleeping?

Sue and I walked the Cambers Bay loop this morning, what a hill!! It was just nice to know that we could do it know matter how slow we were coming up the hill.

      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.
