Hey, I'm still here. Next meeting is Nov 20th. A body-sculpturing surgeon is going to be there as guest speaker. Please come if possible. We had about five post-ops at this last meeting and Veronica is getting discouraged. All her volunteers that usually help her are not available and she needs some help.

I am 14 mos out and have lost 89 pounds. However, I seem to be stuck and not losing. I know I need to exercise more but I must be too lazy or something. I feel like I'm being punished when I have to exercise. I just hate it!!!

Take care and drop back in often.

I know what you mean about exercising, I keep saying I am gonna get up and do Wii in the morning but I cannot drag myself outta bed. Then tonight my husband is going to the track but I am too dern tired, after grocery store to get stuff for dinner, then coming home to kids with homework while fixing dinner, then I am just pooped!

I hope I can make it to the meeting on the 20th, what time does it start?

I am hoping to lose 60 more pounds, then have the big fat roll removed, I know that sounds gross! lol

Hey there! Long time no hear from you. Sorry to hear about your gall bladder but hope this surgery will help in the long run for you. I lost mine many many years ago when I was 20 years old. The darn thing just quit working! Not sure you should still be having heart burn unless you are having something else going on. If it doesn't clear up soon, seek advice again.

I'm doing pretty good. If my legs would get much better, I could start walking and the weight would come off faster but for now it's not going to happen. My GP says when I take more weight off, they should get better. I've lost 88-90 pounds depending on which scale I believe. Lisa says I'm ahead of the program and doing great. Right now, I'm on a plateau and it makes me feel somewhat depressed. However, I'll never give up entirely.

14 months without even one bite of cake, Cookies, candy, pie, Pasta, or bread! That's a record for me. Don't know how long I'll manage to keep this up but right now I'm too paranoid to try even a spoonful of anything sweet.

Take care. Hope you'll come to group on the 20th.:frown:

Thanks Lollymoe. Im going to try. i live in GA now but may try and stay in Bham that weekend with a friend. Glad to hear you are doing well. You'll get thru this plateau....I have had many many as a matter of fact I cant lose the weight I lost when he unfilled me when I was having gallbladder problems...BUT I am looking into purchasing an elliptical this week so I hope to get back on track and you will too keep up the GREAT work.

bandofhope I have about 7cc in a 10cc band. Good luck everyone!

Hate to see that this thread has just kinda fizzled out lol.

Hey Kaninag. Where in Ga are you now located? I married a Ga man, his family is still there and we have some very good friends there.

I too hate that this forum is dropping off. I miss "talking" to everyone. The meetings are having less and less post-ops show too. Veronica was somewhat discouraged last meeting.

Take care. Hope you can come to group after all.:eek:

      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.
