:lol:Where the heck is everyone? I have not been here for a long time. Note my ticker. I am so happy with my progress. I have been very very busy. I go to Water aerobics 3 mornings a week, and boogiesize 2 mornings a week. The last time I went in for a fill was the smallest wt loss ever 4 lbs. I blame girl scout cookies. I will never buy a cookie again. I found out that they go down very very easy. It only took a day to eat the whole box. I had not tried anything like that since being banded. Whooee it goes to prove that you still have to eat it right.:sneaky:

Right now at the present time I feel great. Only a little bit of soreness. Still on the Shakes and soup. Tomorrow I start on the mushies. All is good. I can't wait until I go to the Dr. on Dec. 4. They will weigh me then and I will have an official weight. I just know I am going down down. I have not had to do any insulin shots for quite a while now. Primary Dr. said to only do the insulin if 100 or above. Happy to say my B/S has been below. I go to my primary Dr. on Dec. 9. So I will get to see how my A1c will be at that point. Everyone hang in there, I know I will, life for me is too short to not live it too the fullest. Louise :thumbup:

I am 66 and I got mine on Nov 24, 2008. No pain at all really. I have had no problems at all. I did have a little gas pain. Actually I have not been hungry at all. I start on mushy foods tomorrow. I can hardly wait. I also have not been doing any insulin. I go back on Dec. 4, 2008, and on the 9th I see my regular Dr. So I am really anxious about going. Louise

Thank you so much for your kind words. Tomorrow i get to start on mushy foods. So far I have not been hungry, but yesterday, my stomach was growling and growling, but I still did not feel hungry, so i guess it was just air passing around in there. My first Dr. appt is on Dec 4. I am quite anxious to go and get it done. Anxious to see if my scales are right. Well chat later, God bless you all. Louise:smile:

Well i finally got banded on the 24th. So far so good. The only thing I hate is grinding up my pills, they taste so awful, bitter, but necessary. My husband of 47 years passed away on Nov. 21, 2008, and he made me promise not to delay the date whether he was in the hospital or not. As you can see I did honor his wishes. Louise

I will be banded on 11/24/2008. I am very excited to be starting this journey in my life. I am 66yo, and hope to live many more healthy years. Louise

Well I guess I finally got the ticker on right. It is showing up.

Help with my ticker, I got it but don't know where to put it so it will show up.

checking to see if I got the ticker tape on right.

Did they have you do the other diet also. wk 1 I had to do a protein drink for breakfast the 300 calorie tv for lunch and supper. Also the snacks in between. Then week 2 was Protein drink breakfast and lunch, then a 300 calorie dinner, and my snacks, except at night I had to do 1/2 protein drink for snack. So of course wk 3 and wk 4 is the protein drink for all of it. I have lost 20lbs so far. I want the ticker on my thing also. Louise

Hey thank you, I am so excited. I cannot wait to be a skinny senior citizen. Louise

Guess what, I have a surgery date. Nov 24, 2008. I am getting so excited. How do I put a ticker up. I am down 20lbs. I am on day 2 of all liquid Protein. Would be nice to lose more lbs before surgery. The nice thing is i won't gain it back. Louise :thumbup:

:thumbup: I finally got my date and approval. Went to the class that talks about after the surgery. I am day 2 on all protein drink's. Thank God I am not hungry. My hubby is in the hospital, and I am 28 miles away. Also my Appts, classes, and every thing is in the opposite direction 30 miles away. So today was a very long day. My class and then on to see hubby. I have also gone down 20lbs, since my first visit. Hard to believe. I can be a mindless eater when I am stressed, so it was hard to pass up on the Hamburger's and etc. Well bye for now.

Thank you so much for the good words. Yes I hope to be a new woman. Today I helped put up a new fence for the dogs. I had the gates moved in so I have a long driveway to park the cars in. I was getting tired of opening up the gates, then get out of the car and close the gates. Chase down the dogs and etc. Of course the exercise is good..lol..But when winter really gets here, I won't have to shovel the gates out so I can get out of my yard. Since my DH has COPD and congestive heart failure no help there. Enough of this.. Louise
