Hi guys...as promised...a photo of Lori and I together. We had a nice visit. The time just flew by. food was crap and it made Lori PB but the visit was great!

Lori is every bit as nice as I knew she would be. A very nice and beautiful lady and taller than I imagined. She looks much younger than her age. Her DH is a very handsome, tall drink of Water.< /span>

Anyway, thanks for traveling to meet, Lori. Would do it all over again!:rolleyes:

Wish you could have been there, too, Allie. We did mention you while visiting (all good).

I've been following your PS thread out of interest, care and concern. You are doing so great. I know it is not a breeze, but you seem to be doing better than the norm. I always hear of the tiredness for many weeks after PS. I am sure it takes a lot out of a person. Just take care and listen to your body. Do admire you though for being up and at it as much as you have. Quite the transformation!

Like I told you Saturday, I would drive all the way out next year so your DH does not have to take time away from hunting. I don't mind a day during harvest to get away and rest the body either.

I'm guilty of being away from the June thread. Nothing anyone did or said. Just kind of got settled into another thread and hate repeating myself. I promise I will be more active in this thread. There are so many Junies that have been MIA. Maybe we should put a call out to see how they are doing? Anyone lurking??????

It's 16 pounds that refuse to leave me (I haven't lost a pound since August which is just CRAZY!)...I know I've gotta get back exercising and I'm hoping that will do the trick :) So much for being at goal by Christmas, but maybe by Valentines??? :rolleyes:

Hey Cathy....good for you! Just keep stringing those guys along till you find the "pearl". Just have fun and enjoy yourself.

Thanks for the compliments. Great is somewhat taller than I am. I used to be 5'8" but somehow shrunk down to 5'6" over the years.

Congrats on getting back on track. Sounds like your schedule is a crazy one. Take care and check back often.

Yep I am tall but that being said I am the shorty in the family at 5'9". DH is 6'6, DS is 6'8 and DD is 5'10 and then wears high heels too. And in my in laws family the short sister is 5'11 the other is 6' so I am even short there. But in my family I am the tall one besides my dad of course. Also, the big footed one! Size 11's. GRRR I was hoping they'd shrink at least to 10s with losing weight but though my shoes are loose 10's tend to be tight and they don't make 10 1/2's often unless they are the more expensive shoes. Some shoes I will pay the money for but some that I know are just a fad or I will tire of fast I won't. I'm the same way in my clothes, I will invest in classic pieces but trendy stuff not so much.

Cathy, I asked about your dating, glad you are having fun and hope your cream of the crop stays that way! Congrats on the losing!

So Cathy...where are you meeting these guys??? I'm not getting any younger and haven't been on a date in a year (AH :smile:). I guess I should probably do something besides just go to work (in a female dominated proffession). I'll take any tips you've got :tongue:

Hey all :P

I'm still alive and kicking (mostly kicking myself these days!). I still haven't budged from 402, those last 3 pounds to get to my first goal just don't want to happen. I had great restriction for about 3 weeks after my last fill, then either due to needing my next birth control shot (in which I start getting super hungry all the time) or my band loosening again, the restriction is mostly gone again. I'm going to make an appointment with my nurse practitioner today, I know she'll be disappointed but she's awesome and she'll try to help me get through this plateau. I'll have to see her anyway before I can get another fill, so two birds with one stone.

Allie, I'm so happy for you with your surgery! :tongue2:

      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.
