Sorry I didn't post the new support group dates for October this weekend. :o

I ended up getting some SmartLipo laser lipolysis done on my abs and love handles this weekend, and was so excited about it I forgot about updating the website. (Dr. Keilin did my procedure for me so I got a discount! Sort of... It's her birthday this week, and that always means jewelery.)

At tonight's support group in Texarkana, Betty gave away a door prize; a copy of the book "Walk Away the Pounds" that includes a DVD. We have a few more copies and will give them off our blog page again, as in our prior contests. This time we will wait about a week to give away the book, so that people in the Mt. Pleasant support group can hear about it and log on to the blog.

Remember, holidays are coming up, and we all need to get in the habit of making exercise a routine part of our lives.

Don't forget to check the blog page for general info, and the contest! I'll update the seminar and support group schedules tonight as well.

Goodbye all.

OMG! Went to get my fill and had lost 15 pounds. That's 3 more than I thought. I almost fell off the scale! I didn't get the fill, and we're trying it out for the next 6 weeks.

Congrats Dr. H! I will be looking into the smartlipo/skin removal myself after another 50lbs. I hope your results are great!

Congrats Dr. H and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. K.

lO2US is dropping weight like hot butter of a roll. I missed a month at the meeting and when I saw her walk in I thought OMG ! She is looking great. I saw several at the meeting that are doing fantastic!

I went back to the doc today and I am healing well. Got to skip the second cast! I am in a Gait Boot. I am still not allowed to walk for three more weeks, then I can bear weight as tolerated. We will be going on vacation then, so I hope it goes well. You guys are really doing great! Those tickers are really moving. I hope mine will too, soon. Oh, went to the Ironwood grill today for lunch, it was great!

Dr. K I hope you get a "nice" stone of your choice.

great news on the loss. thank you Lisa. I made it home in time to watch that wild cowboy game. I was nervous for my first fill today but it was over quickly. I got the wierdest hiccups tonight after drinking a Protein Shake. It made me laugh and I HOPE I never do that in public. They were so strong and LOUD. LOL. Hope my scales start moving again. Good luck everyone on losing lots this week.

Teresa, I do that too. They can be embarassing. But I just smile, nod my head and whisper, "Sorry". But in my mind, l'm laughing. I had one little church lady glare at me a few Sundays ago. I mean she really glared! Then I got tickled and started hiccuping louder.

Good news Sugarbear. Glad to hear you don't have to wear another cast. Maybe soon, you will be able to get around better.

Yall have a good day!

Good luck today Arkie! Remember, walk, walk, walk.....move, move, move. That is a must in getting rid of that air that is soooo uncomfortable.

Teresa..What a game!

Lisa, still no weight bearing, 3 more weeks, then, as tolerated. At least it is comming to an end.

good luck arkie! Yes, walk, walk, walk ! It sure helped me and it got me going on my daily walking to lose weight. I started walking about an hour after I got home from surgery.

sugarbear - that was the best and worst game ever. I am so GLAD they won !!!!! three weeks ? Bless your heart.

I THINK I felt a little restriction this morning, I had drank coffee first but later when I started eating scrambled eggs I must have forgot to chew, chew, chew, hiccups started then I did feel an odd feeling throat down... Then it went away and I ate my eggs. This is really a learning experience. I needed something to slow my eating down. I am ready for the weight to start falling again ! 6 weeks is a long time to wait for a fill. Did anyone get a good result the first time? Still LEARNING, thanks for you answers to my questions. Anyone have the small ap band? I asked but I was not told how much was put in my band, the "appropriate" amt he said. I know it doesnt matter how much is in there if it keeps me from being hungry. I see amts on here and it makes me wonder how much is in mine too. :rolleyes

      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.
