Well, I am all set to get a fill on the 12th. Sorry I can't make RR the night before. I just changed my schedule and am not taking any classes this semester so my only days off are Tuesday and Thursday. And since I am the only one with a job I really can't miss work. I am really excited to get back on with losing. I started weighing myself again, and must say that I am pleased that I haven't gained anything being as loose as I am. I just need to focus on staying on track for me.

Sorry we're going to miss you! But I understand.

I am going to get my first fill in over a year on Jan 28th. It's the day before my two year Bandiversary and I am ready to kick the new year off. I've lost a lot on my own, but I'm ready to return to using my tool! I have 96lbs left before I'm at my final goal!

Prty,

You can do it! 2 lbs a week is a reasonable goal and I'm sure you'll get to goal this year.

I want to get to goal by my birthday in July..think i have gotten a little lazy, as it is nice to be in smaller sizes, but I'm still not where I need to be.

2010 is OUR year! :smile2:

Hi Julie,

I ended up gaining a couple of pounds Christmas, but got them off right away. My total loss during the challenge was 7 pounds - not the 12 I was hoping for - but still a loss.

What time do we meet at RR on the 11th?

Hi everyone,

I just have to butt in with a quick question:

For those out-of-towners, how do you travel from the airport to the doctor's office on the days of your fills? A cab price is around $125 (one way, yikes!), a car rental is around $100 (per day, that's the best I could find on Expedia) and a shuttle is around $25 (one way). But I can only find shuttles to near by hotels, not the office.

How does this all work?

Since SuperShuttle will take you from your house to the airport and reverse, I can't imagine why it wouldn't take you from the airport to Dr. K's office. Yep... www.supershuttle.com will take you to/from the airport to a business ($38 round-trip to Dr. K's office).

I've never used SS for my fills, but did use it numerous times when I DID live in Denver and needed airport transport from my home.

      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.
