What a nice little twist to "Biggest Loser" tonight. It was nice to see Amy C. stand up for herself and send Brady home. Vicky will be a stinker next week to Amy C. though. I have never cared for Heba, Ed, Brady, or Vicky. Phil and Amy seemed to be good people who got the short end of the stick.

Well, I am back on the move!!! I took about a 30 minute run/walk. No times, no distances. I just did my thing. I even had those crazy stockings on because I had sclerotherapy on my legs yesterday. The doctor said I need to come in late December and then wait until spring. My legs are looking so much better. They feel better too.

Kathy - I see that you are on. How did your unfill work?

Sugarbean~ YAY!! Glad you enjoyed your run. Good for you on getting back to it.

I was stoked that Brady was sent home! I think Amy C. made the right choice. It was sooooo funny how their little plan backfired. I think Vicky is a psycho anyway...Amy C better watch her back...

Sorry Whosya. We didn't mean to spoil it for you. Next time we will put a note not to read if you haven't seen it yet, okay.

You still need to watch it though. It was hilarious!!

Oh my gosh!! I was so proud of Amy C!! She's going to pay for it though. Poor girl. That took a lot of guts on her part. That blue team is pure evil. I know it's a game, but come on!! It'll be interesting to have their motto- "we're just playing the game" - turned around on them. I think the producers need to do better psych evals on the contestants. Of course, I suppose it makes for good T.V.! Got me all riled up anyway! LOL!

Whosya... WTG! 10 miles is amazing! That's almost a 1/2 marathon!!!

Renewed... you sound like you're healing up very well. Keep it up!

Sugar... yes, my defill was successful! Thank goodness! I admit, I was fairly scared that I'd have to go to the hospital, as I was getting pretty dehydrated and had a horrible headache. But after getting 0.25 cc removed, I was able to have some Soup and Water (Mon) and then had soup and soft food yesterday. Today I continued with soup and added a bit of oatmeal and some crackers. All's well now. I also seem to have the right amount of restriction, so should start to notice some weight loss. I originally thought that my weight would drop with the drastic blocking, but instead it raised, which I think meant my body went into starvation protection mode. This morning my weight was back to pre-fill level, so I think I'm over it.

I didn't run since Friday, as all of this was really hard on my body. Now that my headache has finally left, I'm going to run tomorrow.

Leslie... congrats on running again!

Mamato... how's the interviewing going??

Anyone hear from Lyn? I hope your doing well!

Whew, Kathy that sounds like an awful experience. I am glad that your band is more back to normal.

My fill seems to be working well. I can tell that I have good restriction. I am not eating near as much as I did before the fill. And the best thing is I am not hungry!!! I stopped in at my mother's today. She had made potato Soup. I added a little extra cheese for the Protein. MMmmm good. Nothing like my mom's potato soup. She even sent me home a bowl for lunch tomorrow. I could probably start eating a little solid food, but I just have not been hungry. I was 206 this morning. So close to Onderland and even closer to losing 100 pounds - just 2 more pounds!!!

Hey gang, I am here.

Thanks for missing me. I went to New York for a long weekend with my mom, me, my daughter, and granddaughter. We had a blast! I did gain 4 pounds; but I have 2 back off already. I get my next fill on Thursday. I have been stuck around 170 forever!!!!!! 168- then 172 then 170; I can't seem to break through. I havent run in two weeks! Turf toe (as you remember) but I am better now - toe is great and ready to run. Between the fill and the running maybe I can break through!

I am glad everyone is doing well and welcome to all of the newcomers. This is an excellent program and a great support group.

I will be on two days of liquids and then mushies for the weekend. I am ok with that. I think I need to start over with the running and the food - Good night all.

Sounds like a super fun trip Lyn. Glad you are home and doing well.

Kathy, glad you can eat again. I have been way too tight once, and when yo feel like spit isn't going to go down it does get kinda scary. I'm glad you seem to have found the balance.

Well, the rain is gone and it is beautiful today so DS and I went for a walk. I walked a 15 minute mile! WOOHOO. I felt like I was moving at snail's pace. It's a far cry from a 29 minute 5k but I guess I have to start back somewhere. I tolerated it very well. I can't wait to be running again. I thought about running just a few steps to see how it felt, but I knew DS would tell DH on me so I walked like I am supposed to. I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow. That is 1/2 way through wearing the garments and all the restrictions. WOOHOO, I am 1/2 way there!!

      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.
