Lucy, I don't do well at all on the liquid diets, I almost never make it two days but I love the soy protein shakes you can mix it with lowfat frozen yogurt and it's amazing, that and soup is usually mine Oh and Popsicles I have a Popsicle almost everyday.

My last fill is working well!!! I weighed in at 193.6 last night and this morning but that always seems to change just as I change my ticker so I'm giving it some extra time. I am excited about it though however I go back Mon to have most of the resistance removed for my trip. That means almost two weeks with little or no fill and Thanksgiving will be in there so I have to stick to it on my own. My doctor and I decided this would be best for my trip to Disney since I'm going with my daughters family (son in law, granddaughter, his mom & dad, me and my husband) we didn't want to take a chance on me getting stuck and sick while there. Like he said they don't (her in laws) need to have to wait on me or know what's going on. Wish me luck!!! I'm excited!!! 10 days away!!!!:)

52 pounds is amazing, I seem to be stuck at 32 and not going anywhere again. I had really hoped to be at 40 before my trip to Disney but that's less than 3 weeks away so I would have to do a crash diet in order to make it and well I just don't feel like it. On the plus side I joined the y last week and have gone several times even went very early this morning so I would make it to vote after work before it gets to late. I hope everyone is doing well.

I certainly hope that is not the case and from others here I don't think it is. I had my surgery in late July, I have lost 32lbs so far and I'll tell you it hasn't been easy but it's so worth it. I feel so much better and am looking forward to losing another 60!! I happened across a picture of myself that was taken in April, I had no idea it was as bad as it was. I'm happy to be on my way to healthier!!!

I hope you find out why you are having the pain in your port, I would call the dr if it doesn't get better.

My daughter is dating a guy that is really up on what's good and what's not good to eat. He told me to get some type of protein shake and for the life of me I can't remember what it is.. My doctor told me to start eating a little about every two hours and I can tell you when I do it, it helps tremendiously. I feel better and eat better too plus lose more weight. I always try to eat a lot of fish or chicken, I don't eat anything white like potatoes (although I cheat with chips occasionally) and rice. I don't really miss that stuff to much. My biggest challange is getting off my butt to exercise. I hate it and will find any excuse to get out of it.

Almost forgot, I finally got below that 200 mark, I just didn't want to post it til it stayed longer than a day or two WOOHOO!!! Also had to buy a smaller bra and jeans this weekend went from a very tight 20 to a somewhat tight (in the waist) 16!!!!

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. I did, just wish it didn't have to end so soon. I went back to the dr Wed, had a small fill and have been eating better since but I'm so afraid of getting stuck or sick after the last episode that sometimes I am over cautious. Hope everyone has a great week!!! Oh and have I said ROLL TIDE!!!! #1 BABY

Melissa, Just sent you a friend reques on fb just sent you a request on fb Linda Dalton

Had a small fill yesterday and I have to tell you after last time I was very cautious. I drank the entire bottle of Water before leaving the dr office. I am fine and can fill some resistance again. Maybe this will help keep be better focused. My dr. scales has me at 200 which is better than mine! His are always better than mine. I can not wait to get down at least another 20! I already feel better and had to go out and purchase a new pair of jeans yesterday just because all my others are way to big Love that!!! Hope you all have a great day and wonderful weekend, I am taking my husband on a small trip (just here close) this weekend for his birthday. He will 50 on Wednesday.

Hello everyone. How are you all doing. I feel like I'm at a stand still. This weekend was very busy, had my kids here and my youngest daughters new boyfriend came to visit (he lives in GA) He is super nice and so far everyone likes him a lot! It's good to see her smile again after such a rough year. She is still looking for a job in her field but she has been working at Buffalo Wild Wings in the meantime. She does have an interview next week but it's in Ga. I hate the thought of her moving away but if she's happy I guess I'll learn to deal with it. Hoping she will get another interview this week at a place she had an interview with here last week. Now for me, I've blown it this weekend and the scale (yes I know I shouldn't get on it that much) has gone from 1 pound up down and back up again. Well then once again I get sick, this time I think it may be a case of food poisoning. Yesterday I had to go get my license renewed and went to lunch at a deli, had a turkey wrap. I was feeling really good yesterday and after such a great (yes it was great) weekend was on a high then last night it hit me and I've been up since sick. Not the way I want to lose weight but I'm better now, called in sick to work which I NEVER do so I'm just going to try to get some sleep. I had wanted to be down 40 pounds before my trip to Disney which is the week after Thanksgiving but if I don't start watching it better it's not going to happen. I really need a fill and to exercise more!!! It's my own fault but now that the weekend is over I'm determined to get back on track. How are all of you doing, I haven't been on much I've been trying to focus on the family more so I'm a little out of touch here. Today is my oldest daughters 8th wedding anniversary, I can't believe it's been 8 years!!! How time flies.

You'll be fine. I had a long conversation with my doctor about my emotions being all over the place and he asked when are you eating. I said um maybe late Breakfast, lunch usually a popsicle for dinner. He said there is your problem, told me I should be eating something about every 2-3 hours a day because I'm letting myself get to hungry then my sugar level drops off and when I do eat since I'm starving I probably am eating to much at one time. Yep he hit the nail on the head there. After we talked about what I can not eat which is mostly bread, Pasta and potatoes. He said good, that all those white starchy foods are probably the worse things you could eat, he does not eat anything white including rice. Even though today was horrible I can go to bed tonight and feel like I've learned so much in this one day. Have a great weekend everyone and K have a wonderful visit. I love family time but it can be hard, my family is BIG on food!!

Yay!!! I made it to the doctor and he basically took out the 2cc's he put in. I am drinking water and it's going down. I'm back at the same as before but at this point I'm okay with that. I'll just have to be careful about my eating habits. I weighed again while I was there and in one day I am down 5 pds. All water I'm sure and I know it will come back once I start eating again but I'm so glad to not have that crushing pain anymore. My head is killing me still but compared to the way I felt earlier I can handle it. You better believe I have learned my lesson the hard way.

Oh and did I mention I have no bathroom facilities at my disposal right now because the workers have taken over both bathrooms instead of doing one at a time. I'm sure there is a reason for this like it has to be so long to dry before laying the tile but being sick with no bathroom is very difficult. I'm having to go outside. Just hoping the neighbor does not see me. Fortunately for me I have woods behind my house.

Oh my gosh this is the worse feeling ever! I think morning sickness wasn't this bad. Take it from me if you ever feel to tight don't think you can handle it tell the doctor immediately. I know it's gross but I haven't had anything to eat or drink in over 24 hours now NOTHING and yet every 30-45 minutes I get the hiccups then a crushing feeling in my throat and chest then I throw up only then do I feel any relief at all. How is this possible with nothing to eat or drink? My husband is suppose to be leaving work now so hopefully I will make it to the dr today!! Maybe by tonight this nightmare will be over. NEVER NEVER let this happen to you!!!

I can't say I wasn't warned. I got a fill yesterday and thought okay it feels tight but I can handle this. So before I even get on the interstate to come home I'm sick. All night long I was sick. I can't keep down even a sip of water and I have workers at my home today laying new floors so I'm stuck and can't leave. I pray my husband makes it home for work early enough for me to get to the doctor before. I feel horrible. I have learned my lesson!!

I went to a family party yesterday. My sweet aunt had an amazing salad bar set up mainly for me with all types of lowfat dressing and goody's. Everyone commented saying I looked great even my uncle claimed my new haircut makes me look so different and thinner. Um not the haircut but it helps. Anyway it gave me the extra push I needed to keep going. I have an appt Wed, I think I'm ready for a small fill. Still not getting enough liquids but I'm trying.
