Anyone posting on this link anymore? I haven't been on this forum in a long time. I need some encouragement so I was hoping yall were still here. I have lost 98 but just stuck there. I wanna lose like 60 more... anyway and I have been a bad girl and not take my Vitamins and my hair.. OMG my hair so I am starting back taking vitamins and hopefully all my hair will not come out!!!

Is St Vincents East still having the Saturday meetings? I need to go, when is the next?

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.

Hello All-

I'm still here, too--Our folks seem to have dropped off and I miss reading the posts from everyone. I am 18 months out and stuck at a weight loss of 62 pounds...very discouraged right now. I am making an appointment with Dr. Schmitt for a fill..I'm at 6cc's right now. Would love to hear from some of you banders...hope all is going well with everyone...MISS Y'ALL!!:wink2:

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

Meeting for post-op starts at 10 a.m. Hope to see you there.:w00t:

Friendly reminder! Support group meeting November 20th. Guest speaker will be a plastic surgeon doctor.

How has everyone been doing? So I had to have my gallbladder taken out...well they took it out....Im still having heart burn.

hope everyone is getting ready to enjoy the holidays and doing well!!!

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:

[bandofhope 1]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!! Will some of you tell me what your fill level is..thanks so much!:eek:

[LollyMoe 1]

9ccs as of Sept 2010.:eek: Got a tiny bit more but had to go back to have it removed. For now, my 9ccs are it.

[kaninag 35]

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.

[LollyMoe 1]

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:
