Vegas Bash



Recommended Posts

Lisa: We both started at a 43 lb loss. So anything above that is what we will use as a guideline.

So far I have lost 4 lbs. If your current signature loss is right then you are winning with an amazing and might I had very impressive 8 lb loss. But it ain't over yet.

Remember I go for a fill on the 23rd of September. HEHEHEHE!!!

See ya in October.

Just happened to quickly check in and see that the Vegas trip is still on. I'm so glad and really looking forward to it (and Lisa, can't wait to take a ride on the Harley). Penni, you are doing great. It is going to be close. Vera and I will be there early Friday morning. See you all then.

Penni, if you get a fill, I'm a cooked goose. I have zero restriction, so I'm working with only willpower, which failed me today because I had 2 pieces of designer chocolate for breakfast! If you get a fill, I'm taking diet pills and getting my jaws wired!

And no, the -51 isn't accurate as of today. That was what I weighed on my 4 month anniversary, but I'm up several pounds. Yo-yo, yo-yo, ding dong, ding dong.

Oh, and I'm looking at my calendar and the 8th of October will be my precious monthly bloating (perfect timing for you.)

So everyone put your money on Penni. I don't think I have a chance!

I just saw Dr. McKeen today for a fill. He was in a great mood and for the first time actually got me on the first poke. Be sure to tell him we need separate support group and not with Michelle. :D

Lisa, I plan on purchasing margarita makings there and making a large batch for us, please make room in your freezer for about 9 ziplock quart bags of margaritas! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. I'm willing to pickup grocery items too! I can't wait. Even getting a bikini/leg waxing before hand!

Penni, you are just too sweet and I can't wait to meet everyone.

Damn, I wasn't even gonna shave my arm pits considering tank top weather will be over. Do I gotta pluck my eyebrows now, too?

I'm taking off work that Friday and the following Monday, so I'll be up waiting for y'all. I'm 5 minutes from the aiport so start getting me arrival times before the margueritas get here - no drinking and driving!

I had electrolysis about 20 years ago and haven't shaved a pit since then or plucked an eyebrow! But I plan on sitting in the sun and drinking a margarita or two. Vera and I arrive early, I think 8:30 but she has the tickets so I have to check with her. Since HoJo's is so close we can take a taxi and then when enough of us are there, we can call you to come and get us.

It is so generous of you to open up your house to us!.

I think it's only fair that I open my house since I'm the only one not coughing up money for air & hotel. But having some of you early to help would be a blast! Too many cooks in the kitchen... run!

I have a funny electrolysis story (imagine that?)

Ten years ago I bought one of the home electrolysis units. I have about 10 hairs on my big toe, so I tried getting rid of those hairs first. It hurt like hell, but I kept going. But I ended up returning the stupid machine because it was really painful and I didn't think it was working.

Well, after the huge red swelling went down 2 months later... let's just say I only have one hairy toe now. It actually worked!

      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.
