I hope they can schedule me soon after the appt. This is the same Dr. I checked in with before, and researched, and looked through his before and afters etc.

I am going to have my Uncle check once more for me before I schedule anything. I have heard of several local MRSA cases, I want to know none of them are his!

My Uncle is a MD so he has ways of checking that I don't----plus he is totally honest with me---sometimes I want something so bad, I tend to gloss things over!

Hope this happens soon! Imagine in a month I might be sitting here without this alien belly hanging out with me!!

Kat, that is awesome news!!! Wow girl... you're gonna lose a ton of weight and sizes when the procedure is done. Just in time for the big Bash!! Then we can all ask to see your scars.:thumbup:

I had a couple of NSVs today. We went to Walmart to get a few things. I saw some Faded Glory stretch jeans on sale from $16 down to $9. So I got a pair of 14's thinking I can wear them later when I get past the 16's. WELL... I tried them on when I got home and they fit with plenty of room. PLUS I got a t-shirt to wear under a tunic for our New Day Singers picture tonight. The biggest size they had was a medium 8/10. I figured since it would be worn underneath something, it didn't matter if it was a little tight or not. I tried it on when I got home and IT FITS with plenty of room. I guess I just have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I am no longer in 22/24 2X stuff anymore! What a great feeling! Now if I could just get a bra that fits, I'll be happy. I'm having the worst time with that. I really need to get fitted, but just haven't figured out where to have it done. I also got some new sandals for the cruise. Size 8 and 1/2 down from 9 and1/2 wide!! I'm lovin' it!!!

YAYYYY Judy!! You guys are just flying down, I told DH it's about time to order new jeans for me.. and I'm DEBATING ordering 15's. OMGness!! It took a couple weeks to finally fit comfortably and muffin free into the 17's, and they run small, so they're more like 15-16's.. if I get the 15's they will likely be too tight, but in a few weeks I can wear them. That mean's I'll be in a 13-15.. gasp! I'm about to catch up to my ma!!

My band is being more fickle lately than it ever has been. NY trip, I was able to put away SO much food, good food.. like mutton (steak type). It was like I had no band, I dunno how I did it. Anyway, I was thinking last week, I am due for a fill.. just .1cc really. A small one to get that tight feeling back. But now, I'm tight again! We went for mexican last night. At night, when I'm loose. And 2 bites of rice (which never gives me a problem BTW) and 2 bites of a chili releno.. and I was dying. Then I started hiccuping (doozy for me), so I spit it all up. Very bizarre... I decided I DON'T need another fill yet. NYC my band just was so excited to be there, it loosened up? LOL

AND YAAAAAAAAAAAAY Kat, that's such awesome news. I wish my insurance loved me :thumbup: They want me to deal with being fat on my own dime!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!! mmmmmmmmmuuuah!! :kiss:

:party::thumbup::cake: :cursing::lol::lol::cool2: :hat: :sad:

Terri I had a question, I'm going to send you my $$ from the left-over tax refund (how cool does that sound?) The price you sent me, is total? Includes the rooms in both places? I kind of fell out of the loop while you guys planned TX so I don't even know what we're doing lol. I'm along for the ride, but I thought I heard it's 2 different places? I just wanted to make sure, the cost you sent me is for both total?

Yes, after you pay me that, you shouldn't owe another penny for lodging. That's total for both places, including tax etc.
Anyone else nauseated every morning?

yep...as soon as I stepped on the scale this morning I thought I was gonna throw up!!!:lol:

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes....:mad:

LOL Tracy!!

PAM - Hmmm. Preggers perhaps?? Oh. nevermind! :mad:

That's GREAT news, Kat!!! I know it means so much to you! Sheesh...you're likely to lose 10# in one whack! (no pun intended ... yeee-ouch!)

My band is being more fickle lately than it ever has been. NY trip, I was able to put away SO much food, good food.. like mutton (steak type). It was like I had no band, I dunno how I did it.

Laura, isn't that a bell pepper dish? I imagine it was the skin from the pepper that did you in. The rice could have done it too, I suppose.

I am going thru the same thing i did the last time I got filled (then unfilled) back in September. Restriction is great for a couple of days...then gets so tight I can't eat a damn thing :frown:. OMG, I got into sooooo much trouble last night eating an angel hair Pasta dish which normally goes down fine. Gina scared the hell out of me too with that slipping thread! :eek: Now i'm all paranoid and eating nothing but mushies and foods I KNOW are safe. I just don't understand how I can go from being "wide open" to "overly tight" on only 0.2 cc. i'm a little worried but will try to ride it out.

No, the scale hasn't moved. 181-182 for days now.

Kat - congrats to you on your loss! Getting sick seems to be the way to go. LOL

Haydee - I'm sorry! I hope you're much better today. :blink:

Tracyks - I start my new job on Monday!!!!

Just went shopping with mom, she got me clothes for my birthday that is coming up. I got... 2 pr dress pants, 2 pr casual pants, 3 skirts and a bunch of tops (5 sweaters and 5 shirts) all for $250! and I was so very happy with everything I got. I am slightly bloated from TOM but all the bottoms were 16's - which should I mention I was thrilled about because when I was this weight last time I was in 18's and tops were med/lg depending on how I would wear them.

Then we went to applebee's for dinner and I stuffed myself - came home and made Breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I need to get it together!

Anyhoo.... I'm going to hang up my clothes and do some more laundry...

      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.
