Thanks Amanda, it does feel good to hear those words. I'm still wanting to lose 40-50 more, but I'm so much closer than I was 90 pounds ago!! :)

Thanks for trying to encourage me. I didn't think I was a stress eater but now I'm beginning to wonder. I had a lot of things happen since Christmas and sort of really messed with my head. I think maybe thats why I am craving sweets so much. I feel like overdosing on candy bars right now.

Scrappy - You have 18 more pounds to go. You have came further than any of us and have less to go to get to goal than any of us. You are darn right we are going to be your cheerleader. Go Shamrock, Go!!!!

Teri - that's a LOVELY story! Amanda's right, it's what we all want.

Scrappy, we've all been there, all had those bingey urges. But look how much work you've done! Look how far you've come? You've been the rock of this group, you've kept on going, nonstop, as some of us have fallen by the wayside. We look at you for inspiration, because you've really done EXACTLY what you're supposed to do with a band.

What do you think it'll be like at goal weight? Is it scary to you? You've put so much energy and drive into this process, it'll be strange for it to be "over", I think.

You have so much to be proud of - you've been GREAT! I admire you so much for what you've done, and I'm going to try to be more like you.

Oh I'm still trying, and fighting off the evil cravings and I am still staying around 1200 calories a day. I am also going to curves 3 days a week. I will make it but its not easy.

I will make it but its not easy.

Of course you will, and because you worked so hard it will be all the sweeter when you reach and possibly surpass your goal.

Teri that is so cool what your son said. And Rhonda, hang in there. We'll all have your back when you slide through the finish line. And you can cheer us all on one by one as we slide through too. I think we all need to give our selves a hand and a pat on the back for all we've achieved in this last year. Little slips will happen along the way, after all we are human and that's why we are here isn't it?

A bump of 1 lb, particularly if you're a chick, can be explained by cycling, don't you think?

I did quite well - mostly Water, no doubt, but I stuck to my regimen, and am down 5 lbs for the week.

And if only I could sort out the whole gym thing...

      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.
