crzytchr, Does you insurance(s) have a max deductible? I know when I had my surgery that my max out of pocket copay was $2000 and the rest of this year I don't have to pay ANYTHING for anything else I need done. And for that matter I am taking full advantage of it. I had an adonimal CT scan (I had some pain) so I don't have to pay anything until it resets Jan 1st. Check and see.

crzytchr - I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I've only experienced a Migraine headache a few times in my life and it was so debilitating I couldn't even move without throwing up. You are a strong person to be able to teach kids with a migraine. When I have a simple headache, my own kids are intolerable. I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery quick.

Orea - I'm sending postiive thoughts your way. Keep thinking positive about a great job for your DH.

shrinknme - I hope you have a great trip overseas. Can't you still get on the internet where you're going? We'll miss you.

It is one deductible per year, but I changed school districts, so I changed insurance companies, so I have to meet the new company's deductible. It sucks, but it must be done. I just hate that on jan. 1, a new year starts with a new deductible AGAIN!

Have a Merry Christmas and try to check in from time to time.

I hope your stomach flu does indeed pass quickly -- cautionary note - if you are throwing up, then you may need to go see your doctor for an unfill as this can cause slippage (so I have heard).

I think I will have to try the Water and jumping jack trick myself. I have had alot of trouble with the unhealthy snacking. I have two teens who are very supportive accept they don't want to give up their junk foods. So it is in the house still. If I have a craving I don't have far to go to find it. I haven't lost any weight in a month. Well, I havn't gained any either. Any idea's?

Bubbles, if you haven't lost any weight in a month and you don't feel satisfied with 1 to 1 1/2 cup of solid food, then go in for a fill. It did the trick for me! Don't know why I waited so long between the last fill and the fill before!

I'll be glad when I can get a fill too, I gained 3lbs this week. The curves lady said I'm retaining Water, I hope that's the case. Eather way I'm in a good mood today because I got my biopsy back and all was good, just a complex cist. After 6 weeks of worrying about it, It feels good to let my brain relax.

I had an IBS attack the other night which helped me drop a few pounds. Not a comfortable way to lose it. I still have abdominal tenderness and slight queasiness. But yes, it looks like I'll make it to the 200's by Christmas! :rolleyes2:

My face and my bust are showing the loss at the moment. :cursing:

It's good to lose it in the face but HATE losing it in the bust. I don't have much of a butt, but I think that's where I'm losing it because it's getting positively bony!

I guys. I don't post often but I read your notes every couple of days and have really found support with you. I wish I could loose in by butt. I've gone down from a 26 to a 16 pants size but when I look in the mirror I still see my big rear. I've seen it big for 15-20 years so I guess my mind hasn't caught up with my weight loss. :rolleyes2:

      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.
