Marga WELCOME BACK!!! We missed you. We are all having our ups and downs and hopefully we can use each other to help us through!

NV Glad to hear you are doing so well, you have been through so much. 75lbs :whoo:

Dan I think you are doing great and food will always be a temptation, regardless. I don't think that will ever change.

FarmerE Were the coworkers doing the exercisse worried too? that sounds crazy! I would be scared now. I drink wine, probably the most I have had since fills is three - four glasses and never had a problem. I have not had a problem except getting to tipsy. I don't think beer is the best choice due to the bubbles, gas, I have had two glasses at the most and can feel it bubbling up. I had a Water that was carbonated in a meeting and I did not realize until I opened it. Over two hours I think I drank 1/2. however, in the middle of a hearing, i burbed this loud noise in my throat. I was embarrassed. No on knew of course why, probably thinking, WOW, what a pig!

Lucy Welcome to Onderland:clap2: GREAT JOB!!!!

BigBaby....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I have been very busy this week and I missed you all! I have been feeling good restriction this week. But I am not sure of the weight loss. I hate that scale! Does anyone have problems with your hair still falling out? I wish mince would stop, I really can feel it thinner and it is scaring me. I am taking Vitamins and trying to eat my Protein. I bought some more owder drinks to make some more Protein Drinks. any ideas?

Have a great Monday!!

Stef Great slide show. You looked great! I don't have to ask if you had a good time! Vacations go way to fast.

How was your eating? Did you get to work out? you are our exercise guru! You probably did a lot of walking.

Glad to have you back.

Thank you! Yes, we did have a phenomenal time out there! So much so that we actually went house hunting in Henderson one day, as well! We'll see how that pans out. Yes, it did go fast, but we were glad to get home, too. We were TIRED! LOL The eating was really odd...I don't know if it was the elevation change, or what, but I could hardly eat a thing out there. Everything got stuck immediately, with the exception of bananas and I was able to eat salmon the night we went to the formal dinner, thank goodness. I didn't get to work out as much as I'd like...hubby kept saying it was time to take a break. But I did get up to the gym at our casino twice...so gorgeous. Over 1000 feet above the city with the Black Mountains beyond that, with the weight equipment outdoors next to a sparkling pool...what more could an excercise addict ask for? LOL Yes, we did TONS of walking...I should have taken my pedometer!

Finally...I think I've beaten this dang staph infection that was at my main incision site. It's taken basically two bouts with this since Oct. 6 and two types of antibiotics, but I think it's gone for good.

I'd been up/down the same 4 pounds during all of this, even though I wasn't eating any differently...couldn't get below 250. I'm not 248.8 and happy. I think the scale's finally back to normal.

Steph, great pics! You look awesome and it looks like you had a blast!!

Stef - Glad you are back and that you had a great time in Vegas! We have missed you :-)

I haven't been around much lately - transitioning to the new job is taking up a lot of time! The good news, if it works out, is we may have someone to buy our house, so the family can move sooner than expected. That means though I have to find a house to rent instead of 1 bedroom apartment!

Lucy - congrats on ONEDERLAND! Only 38 more lbs for me. I would love to be there by my birthday on Jan 13th, but with moving and a new job, that could be really difficult.

I am traveling for holidays, so I will check back in when I get back. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

      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.
