thanks BK - I"m feeling really good, I still feel fat but I feel like its coming off. If I lose 5 lbs a month I'm happy. This last fill has been great. I'm able to keep my calorie intake around 800 or less, which has never happened for me.

Bman did you get the seat on?

Kitchen update! I'm living in the midst of total chaos! You know how the contractor says I'll have it done in 2 weeks and ends up being 2 months? Ok its not that bad, the contractor is my nephew and he's doing it in the evenings. It looks great so far. Still needs to get the faucets on and the dishwasher put in (did I tell you I've never had a dishwasher? very excited about that) and the plumbing, so its really close to being done, maybe tonight. Every night I've been running to town for something. My dh is still working out of town so he has no idea how great its looking and he also wants to be here when they hook up the electric in the box so he can tell them what breaker to use. I have a ton of house cleaning to do.

I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and support. I'm feeling better and think "ranting" here is what helped.

I've scheduled another fill and I'm going to address some of my issues with the doctor then.

Thanks again!

Hey Claud... im ok :-) thank you for checking on me though. I've been doing a lot of thinking about heading out to California though. So, how knows, I may end up at one of your parties someday in the future! I have dreams like that too a lot -- I never know what they mean at the time, but they always end up making sense later. Ive been known to get up in the middle of the night to call people just to make sure they were ok.

I did laundry and cleaned all night... went to my grandma's to watch survivor. I havent exercised yet today... UGH! I need to go to bed though. I have to be up early it is already 12:30am here. I dont have enough hours in the day :-) I still haven't got my bike fixed up with the new seat. My grandma has been in and out of the hosptial for the last week and with all of the running to take care of her... it has left little time for anything extra. Ive been on the elliptical though. I just miss riding.

Bman sorry to hear your gram isn't well, she's lucky to have you. The bike isn't going anywhere and will be waiting when you're ready. Slow down.

I guess I'm one to talk. I haven't walked the 2 mile track with my neice at all this week. Every night I've been running to Lowes for something in the kitchen, or doing something with the kitchen. Last night I did my running, got home in time for Survivor, relaxed during that and then started cleaning. Like I said before my house was in utter chaos, but I whipped it into shape last night. He has everything done except the electrical (which dh wants to be here for) and hooking up my ice maker, and he's going to lower my upper cabinets so I can reach the top shelf. I'm loving it. It just feels like it brought the whole kitchen together with a finished feeling. Our next big project is the bathroom. Ugh!

I've been reading up on the tummy tuck... I'm calling for an appointment today. I was thinking if I get a consult the beginning of Oct. maybe I'll be approved by Nov. and thats when I'm laid off so I'm hoping for a flat tummy for Christmas.

Maurdan - I'm glad you're feeling better. Remember we're here for you, rant rave cry or sing, it really does help. We love ya and want you to do well too, let us know how the fill goes.

Leaving for DC tonight. DS is competing in the morning - no not mixed martial arts, tomorrow is an ironworkers competition for his apprentiship program. It doesn't matter what it is I always enjoy watching him AND it give me and dh some alone time.. in a hotel... no kids.. no dogs.. :waytogo:

Am I the only one checking in today? :waytogo:

Called the other ps - got an appointment on Tuesday!!!! I can't believe it!!! I'm so very very excited!!! So I read that if you smear dawn dish soap under your fat flap it'll irritate it enough to take the pics. If I didn't spray deo under there everyday I'd be sore anyway - so I guess I'll start the irritation process Saturday evening.

Hey girls--

I screwed up yesterday BIG BIG BIG time! I got into an accident, that was my fault! I didn't see the woman in front of me stop for a turn and rear ended her. Her car is fine but a few scrapes, but my baby, my Betty is trashed.... :eek: My freaking car! I have never had an accident before that has been my fault...

I am pretty hurt, they were worried about the band and did a catscan and lots of fun stuff. I feel horrible even though I am doped up on pain meds...

It is about $8k worth of damage on my car.... :D

If the do total her out, you will find another one, I know you will. And while Betty will be mourned, you could have a newer one, perhaps Dita or Veronica?

      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.
