:lol:Theresa and Deb-----

How did you guys do at the casino? Great, I hope :w00t:

I'm still jealous!!!!!

Deb---- it was great seeing you again. Casino mext time for sure!!!

Theresa---- Let me know if you want to go to Bingo

The casino was fun, of course. I couldn't win anything all day though. Spending the day with Deb was even better.

Don't know about bingo...I'll have to let you know when you want to go. I'm too busy right now to even think about it.

I have mysteriously lost 3 pounds in the last week. This even though I did touch the halloween candy. It makes no sense, but I will take it. Good luck on the challenge. This has got to be the hardest part of the year to do it.

My surgery is this Friday and I am working on my freakout. I have to do that a couple days ahead of time. I cannot wait until this is over with. I am hoping after surgery I get off the hormones and am able to exercise again, I will actually lose a bit more weight. I have a slight success in that I've moved down one pant size.

Julie, I am going to say 10 for the Xmas Challenge.

This last fill is totally doing its job. I lost 3 lbs since our pizza night last Monday! Having to really watch what I eat - major slime incidents with Pasta and crackers so far. :smile2:

Hi Deb,

I'm sorry I missed you too. I could use a dose of your goofiness! :-)

I live about 90 minutes from that part of Denver and it would have been past my bedtime if I'd met up with you so late. I'm hoping for next time.

I think maybe it is time for a bit of a fill. I haven't lost more than three pounds in the last several weeks. I can eat pretty much anything, as long as I take small bites and eat slowly. But I am getting hungry sooner than I used to, and am definitely eating larger portions...What do you think? How do you know when you are ready to get "topped-off"?

Mary

Amino acids are what Proteins are made of, so I can't see a problem with the band. The pills can't be that huge and this therapy is used by various folks for bariatric patients.

I ate a large portion of ice cream tonight trying out my new ice cream scoop from Wilton. It's great. I am a bit stressed out right now. That and I can't have milk at all tomorrow. Which I still don't understand.

OK, weighed in for the challenge. I lost two pounds this past week, so not sure I'll lose any during this first week. We'll see. Good luck everyone!

Confused...I thought today was the baseline weight for the challenge. Works for me that we're deducting though.

      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.
