Well today is a GREAT day! The scale finally moved downward for me! Was stuck at 208-210 for weeks. Today was at 205!!!! Only six more pounds until ONDERLAND!! I'm beginning to realize that if I whine about being stuck for long enough, the scale will move! LOL. ;)

No school tomorrow in most of North Carolina! We get a couple of inches of snow and the whole place shuts down. I guess I'll be taking it easy. We haven't had a winter like this in years!

Our area had no school Monday or Tuesday due to extreme cold. It is -13 with a wind chill of -28 right now.

Well here's my update I haven't changed doctors yet but been looking around last night was a horrible night I started feeling sick and started vomiting next thing I know im puking blood and either pass out in the bathroom or fall asleep my husband found me around 4am I didn't go to the hospital because they will just say its Constipation I hate the hospital in my town and lack of doctors who know about gastric bypass

Get yourself to a teaching hospital, or at least get a second opinion. I threw up/ pooped blood, and I had an ulcer. I needed 4 units of blood.

We got here yesterday thank The Lord! Very pretty but yes the altitude is a big rough. We are all having headaches. Some nose bleeds for me and occasionally feeling like I struggle to take a full deep breath. Looking for a home. We have 10 days to get a place cause we are in temp lodging. So far so good. My husband is excited about the Mexican food! We have had any in forever and another snow storm tonight lol

It takes a couple days to a week to adjust to the higher elevation. Take it slow and don't attempt anything too strenuous till you feel better. A friend who used to live join CO told me the absolute best thing about living there is being able to eat dinner outside in the evening with no mosquitoes. Dry climate = less bugs. :-)

It took me two weeks to get used to the altitude...I agree; having no bugs is heavenly. You'll find something permanent, no worries. Boy, you've really had SO much going in. I hope things will now calm down so you can take care of yourself! Thinking of you!

      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.
