A lot less

Thanks, you rock. LOL

Wombat, I am so happy to see you post. I truly understand. I think I have transfered my addiction to this web-site. I work in a classroom on a computer everyday and the most part of the day I am on this site. I need to spend time helping students and more with God. The weather is getting good and I walk more outside and talk to God. I will continue to check daily, but not all day. I will be in much prayer for your arthritis, I have it too in my back. Welcome back, I missed you.

Me too. Maybe we can go on the website and get them.

Anyone watching?????? Roco just started off with a tip.

Thanks Lisa. Great for your success as well. Climbing toward the mountains is great, it's just down in the valleys that suck. Lisa, when I saw you the first time you looked great and the last time I saw you, you were looking even greater. I know my grammer sucks.:thumbs_up: Susan, I know that you are doing great. I haven't seen you in a while. Maybe when it gets warm I'll come back to a mtg with LouAnn and we can talk. I know Lisa, Stay in the box.

The recipes look good. I might try some of them. NOT. I try my best not to cook. I jogged and walked for lunch. At home I walked and stayed outside. I don't remember slimfast being so sweet. It is soooo sweet until I don't want anything that resembles sugar in any form. Now mind you this is today, tomorrow I could be tripping. I'm not even hungry. I'm getting my water in too. Look, I don't mean to be tooting my horn, but I am proud of myself. I feel like I might can do this. I also talked to God and asked for a lot of help with this. Sorry if I'm getting on anyone's nerve. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow because of rain, I guess I'll have to improvise.

Complaint----Gas prices. The news reporter stated that gas could be $4.00 here in TX by summer. Medicare might run out by 2019 and they might have to cut benefits or raise taxes. Either way I'll hurt. Not old enough to retire to get the medicare and just the right age for higher taxes. I'll have a margarita and some dip.

What is the deal with some people? We are here for support not stupidty.

yes, Lisa. Tell me what you think about the 5 day pouch test.

Lisa, what's TTFN?

That will work for me Susan. LouAnn is looking good. We laughed this morning cause I have finally made it to some misses clothes. I see how Lisa felt when she got out of her pants w/o unzippering them, LOL I think that was Lisa. Maybe Lisa and I can join "Master Gardeners" with you and LouAnn. But to be honest I really don't go outside too much in the summer, plus I hate to be sweaty. I need to find a inside hobby that doesn't include "running" or "jogging" to the pantry and refrigerator.

Lisa, I was talking about when we did the pre-op diet. I remembered just as I read the post that I should wait 1 hr after the slimfast. Do you remember the last 2 days of the pre-op diet? I listed the first 3, but can't seem to find my papers to get the last 2 days. I read about the five day pouch on the web site. www.livingafterwieghtwls.com

gingin, I will be in prayer for your family. Have you ever heard the saying, "you might be the bible someone may read"? Well, that's you. You are the voice of reason. Matt:5:16 reads "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven". Sickness is not unto death. Sometimes we go thru the valley, but to know that we are not alone. Keep Andrew, Kerry and Olivia Rose lifted. Sometimes when trouble comes in like a flood, that's the time we are REALLY ready to hear about the Lord. We are here for you. We might not post everyday, but we check daily. For those I didn't personally address, you are in my thoughts and prayers. For those that have dates for your surgery, Praise God!!!!!!:purplebananna: Be blessed and stay focus.

Thanks, NeverB4, I will. You just blessed me..................:purplebananna:

I really love these names. Savedby grace, awomanGodcause. I'm not a April, I'm a August. WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see that everyone is checking in, glad to see you posting, God bless!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone, Praise God for his mercy and grace. Candy, I praise God that the insurance DID pay for the fills. We are sooo blessed to have insurance. I will probably have to pay my co-pay starting my 6th fill (which is this month), but I'm grateful for the co-pay. I understand about being down, I have been beating myself up cause I have no restriction and I could eat a horse and ask for side order of cow. I come on LBT and read all the post that they are losing weight like crazy and I've lost only 47 since August, but my dr is not very aggressive. I have really been trying to keep some will power. I have lost inches but I just want to be like the others, but God made me and I have to realize I'm not like everyone and to be gratful for the 47 that I did lose. Praise to God and the holy spirit!!!!

Lisa, I'll go with outside with my slimfast and H2O.

Sorry to post so much, but I forgot to ask, I don't have to wait for the hour thing to drink my water do I?

Susan, I need some hand holding, too. LOL:biggrin: Lisa and LouAnn held my hand last week.:purplebananna:

Good morning everyone, Today is a new day. Right, Lisa? Well, I need to know if anyone remembers the pre-op diet? I remember the Day 1&2 - Slimfast for breakfast, lunch & dinner Day 3 - Slimfast for breakfast and lunch, dinner, a garden salad w/ fat-free dressing Day 4 ??????? Day 5?????? I'm going to do it this week to see if I can lose a few pounds before my next fill (4/14). I thought I had not lost nor gained, be it seems that I did gain about 3 pounds. So for myself, I'm going to try to lose it. Thanks!!!!!!! I know Lisa, Stay in the box, but as pretty as it is today, everyone might want to go play in the sun. LOL

Hey, Lisa, I'll eat the other half of your burger. It will go down good for me. LOL I think today will be nice, Lisa, so you can get out.

Yes, NeverB4, I truly remember those days and I certainly don't miss them. :tongue:

Good morning Diamond and Phyllser, Happy to hear that everything is going good for you. Diamond, glad to hear that it's almost here. I know that you are excited. I lurk around here to check on everyone. The site does seem to slimming down a lot. Guess everyone is busy. Phyllser, glad to here that you were able to keep close touch w/the family. Yes, aunt Genny was a legend. Isn't this crazy, (or morbid, LOL) I often wonder who will be at my funeral. I ask some if they would come, most respond, "please don't ask me that, I don't ever want to think that you'd die", guess that's a yes. LOL Be blessed everyone. Hey Wombat and Candy, where are you??????? I miss ya!!!!!:tongue:

Thanks for information Dr. H. I don't think I can make the drive to Texarkana for the support group and I understand about the low attendence. Gas is a big issue for me. So maybe if someone from that group can just post a little information for us here that would keep us in the know for anything that's new or old.:tongue: Mrs. Betty, I like that protein drink that I bought from there. Has anyone tried the 5-day pouch test? I found it a web site I heard about on the View. Living after weight loss surgery.com.

Green, I have been wondering where you were. I just happened to see this thread and read your post. I am so sorry to hear about your illness. My prayers are with you and your family. I don't post often, but I'm always lurking and I read your posts often. You are such a reason of logic. Please keep us updated with your progress. After reading this thread, I just related your name "green" with what it really meant:biggrin:. Eco-friendly. I'm sorry but I can't ask you to take a spoon of ice cream for me cause I've gained a few pounds, but I can have sf ice cream or sherbet. Be blessed.
