Anyone up for Red Robin in the next week or two?? I don't know about anyone else, but I can use the camaraderie and support :smile2: If you're interested let me know what day(s) work for you, and we can set something up.

Jls- first off please let me say I am so sorry about the loss of your father. I have been through this myself, and all I can say is that it will get better... you will never forget him and the love and good times, but the pain of his passing will fade a bit. Secondly... let me say congrats on the initial weight loss. That was great. I am so sorry I have no advice for you on how to get a fill sooner. I am assuming your insurance won't pay for fills?? (mine won't either... luckily I have a surgeon who does not charge a arm and leg). Feel free to PM me if you would like to talk on a one to one basis. julie

I am rarely hungry. Though the head hunger can occasionally drive me crazy. A few months ago I couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing. I thought I was eating too much, so I started charting. Imagine my suprise when I realized I was only eating 600 cals a day!!!! I upped my cals to between 800 and 1,000 and started losing again (though slowly).

:tongue_smilie: You'll be missed. Hope you have a good day at work, at least.

WOW... good for you to commit to this. My ultimate goal is to be able to do a 5K. I know it won't be this year... but you have a date for next year!!! :redface: I read the article. It looks completely doable (for you...not me :redface:) I need to get some more of this weight off, so my knee doesn't make me completely miserable when trying it.

Yesterday I was 249!!!! :w00t: I have not been under 250 in probably 25 years :sad:. I don't know what I'm doing... but it seems to be working. According to my Wii I lost 5.4 pounds in 8 days. Just wish I could do that on a regular basis!!!

Gen, Been meaning to write/call you. Sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope you will heal soon from it. Lortabs is a wonderful thing, isn't it!! :sad: Thanks for your remarks on my blog. Sorry I missed you last time. Maybe next time you come in we can do lunch?? Feel better soon, my friend.

Wow Theresa.... has it really been almost a year for you?? Time flies...

WOW... Good for you, I know how exciting this time can be. I did not go to Dr K for my surgery, but from what I have learned since then I know you have chosen a wonderful doctor.

Works for me!!!

Good idea. Anyone interested in getting together at RR either Feb 23 or 24th?? Can't wait to see your prize

Glad your fill went OK. I had FBS for about a year or so after my band surgery. Then it went away. It has been so long since I had that problem that I forgot I had it (though I was quite miserable with it at the time :thumbup:) Hopefully yours will go away too :thumbdown:

Just popping on to say my MIL passed away a couple of weeks ago (Jan 27). We had to make a quick trip (9 days) to MI/OH for the funeral. This was the first time I have gone back home since my banding and not gained weight. Of course, I was sick for 5 of the 9 days we were gone.... I barely ate or drank anything those days. It is so strange..... I really hated having her in my life and my home..... but it is hard to believe she is gone now. :cursing: Thankfully, Kayleigh handled this whole thing quite well (she has already claimed Judy's bedroom as her own). Kids.....

Looking forwrd to seeing everyone tonight.

I'm sorry we'll miss you, but the good of your job and your family do come first.
