Hey guys...

I am sick!!! I am super congested and have low energy. Who ever said the bands get tight during colds/illnesses....was right.... Ironically, days before I go to my 6 month appt and hopefully 2nd fill... I get my restriction back. How the heck does that happen???

I have tried to read and keep up with your posts. I'm sorry I missed the meeting on Saturday. I wish I were there. It sounds like you all had lots of fun. I would have loved to see Donna in those baggy clothes.

I am currently holding at 197.3, this morning. I am super low carbing and high protein-ing. I hope to drop at least 1lb by Thursday's appt. Not sure about the fill, as I do not want to end up too tight.

Pat-I see you and I are at the same weight....Way to go girl. What size clothing can you fit???? Are all of your 16's gone????

I hope all are well. TTYL.......................

Hi Ladies!!!

Ali & Laurel sorry we didn’t get to meet! I guess you left early and someone wanted to speak with me about the Sleeve at the end of the meeting.

This weekend I did my bi-annual trip to the mall. Great for walking! I found a cheap way to eat, just visit the free samples! I always wonder how it will be eating out as I can’t eat much but the free samples are enough to fill me up! Next weekend its Sam’s club for lunch! Haha

Laurel – 8.4+ pounds in a week awesome!

Monique – Get well soon!!!!!!

Good morning everyone!

John, I did have to leave early as just being out for an hour wore me out. I saw you talking privately with someone as I was leaving and didn't want to interrupt to introduce myself. Next time for sure.

Mo, I hadn't heard that the band gets tight when you are ill. Good information to know. Hope you feel better soon.

Drum roll... I am down 10.6 pounds since surgery on the 22nd. Who knew that not eating had such a direct connection to weight loss??? LOL Obviously not me, but I think I am catching on now.

Nicole, I can't feel my port. Do you think Baggs forgot to put one in???? I am sure it will make an appearance soon.

So, today I believe I will start with a Protein Shake and a walk on the treadmill. Maybe only 10 minutes or so, but it will be a start.

Have a great day everyone.

Ashley!!!!! OMG!!!! You go girl! I'm so happy for you. I knew could do it!!!! Good Job! How far out is Fremont scheduling....Get your butt in there....fast....lol.

Where the heck is everybody??? It sure is quiet in here.

I have my appt with Dr Whoo in the morning. I hope I've "earned" my fill...Hehehe! I was 197.5 this morning and had a last chance workout this afternoon. Hopefully it was enough to knock out that .5lb

I sure hope all are well and the quietness in here is a good sign that you all are working out or something. LOL.

TTYL.............

Ashley, congratulations on getting to goal. I'm really proud of you.

Mo, good luck at your appointment this morning. I hope it goes exactly as you'd like it. Onederland is looking mighty fine on you!

All's well here. Was in SAC a few days on business again this week. I've been in the dreaded two week stall but feeling ok and staying very positive. I still think it's incredible to eat 500 calories a day and not shed an ounce. What a mystery our bodies are.

Have a fun day everyone.

      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.
