Nov 5th Lap Meeting in Charlotte
That is cool! Would you mind coming to 49 at the IHOP there? Or would that be to much trouble. Friday would work out well for me. Thanks for the encouragement. I go to the nutritionist tomorrow at 10:30am so hopefully their scale says the same. Ive been going by mine so we shall see. It matched up perfectly with theirs last time. I will let you all know how that goes. Thanks so much! Sorry again. Thanks Melissa for the PM of your numbers. Lets say Friday around 11:30? I would love to do this. I hate it I missed you girls.

Nov 5th Lap Meeting in Charlotte
Thanks Girls! I appreciate it. Kathy keep truckin girl! You can do it! I started exercising a lot harder and it started back up again. I was at a stand still for two weeks but it has started moving. I will try to remember that Nutritionist stuff for you! I am awful about remembering stuff I promise. Sorry! I understand about the pet peeve. People do that to me too. It drives me nutz but then they compliment on how I look and all is good! :mad: Keep up the great work Melissa! I can't wait to say 50 pounds gone forever! :mad: Angie

I hope you get your date soon so you know when it will happen. Keep hanging in there. We are here for ya! Don't ever forget that. Angie

Bad timing
Ok, You really need to get on the ball and let Dr. Bauman's office know about your insurance and I am sure they will work with you on this. I went through them and they are awesome. They have a bunch of prep work for you to do in order to get this done. The only thing that held me behind was the psychologist. They took forever. But you need to let them know as well and have them write the report up quickly. Have it done on the 31st of Dec. Tell them to schedule it for then. I am sure you can do it if you push them hard to make it happen! Stay on top of them. GOOD LUCK!!!! Angie

Honeymoon over?
I hope you didn't take that the wrong way. I was teasing about the scale. God knows I did it too when I first had the surgery. I was just teasing. Hopefully know one took it as I was being hateful. Sometimes through email or things like this people read it the wrong way. Sorry if it was taken that way. You are doing a great job! Keep it up. Let me know how the nutrition appointment goes with Dianne. Thanks, Angie

Good luck to you and your precious boy! I am thinking of you and checking everyday. Please keep us posted. If there is anything at all I can do for you let me know. I stay at home and wont mind helping you out. Angie

Honeymoon over?
STOP GETTING ON THAT SCALE!!! Do it once a week and you will love the results. Do it everyday and you are going to hate them. You are doing great, and are doing fine! Do exactly what the Nutritionist tells you and you will lose. One thing I loved on the mushie stage was fat free refried Beans, with cheese, and salsa. It was rather yummy and satisfying. I hope your throat gets to feeling better! Angie

Pre/Post Surgery Observations
Excellent Job! That is so awesome. I would love to see pictures! I was banded on the same day as you, and I have lost 44 pounds so far. I haven't had a fill yet either. I think I am ready for one since I am getting hungry and wanting/craving things. 70 pounds lost is so awesome. I can't wait until I can say that. Keep us posted on how you are doing. You are a very funny guy. Don't hurt that other nipple! It can't help that the other one was nicked! Angie

officially sick of liquid diet
Hey Melissa, Sounds like you are doing fine. Just as long as you are getting in that 48 grams of Protein I think you are good. They never talked about calories with me, only protein. Keep up that exercise! I wish we were closer so we could go work out together. I need some motivation right now too. Just found out that our company holiday party is on the 2nd of December! That is right around the corner! I can't believe how fast it is coming. I wanted to be in a size 16 dress by then but I don't think I am going to make it. I need to start working harder. Seems like my weight is at a stand still and wont go anywhere. Come on Melissa give me some motivation!!!! You rock doing Salsa already! Ok you are doing great keep it up Melissa! How much have you lost? Angie
