That sounds like some great info. I'll be sure to go on Thursday morning. I would love to have a food tracker to journal what I eat. I've been watching today. At breakfast I wasn't hungry. I skipped it. Then ate two pieces of pizza my daughter threw in the oven. At first I felt full. Then about 2 hours later my tummy was growling. I just ate a sugar free pudding to hold my until dinner. Steak with salad. I also have an orange for a snack later. I'm still under 1200 cals. I wonder if I need less for a while?? Or more to make sure I get 1200??

90 pounds!! I can only dream about that right now. They want me to get to 150 first. Then I can change it if I want to lower weight. I think looking at my girls and their weight- 150 would maybe put me at a size 8. I could live with that. we'll see. I'm sure I'll have a year to ponder that or more.

Hey there~

Were you able to make it to the meeting tonight? How did it go if you did? I'm going to make sure I get to the Thursday morning one next week.

I've read in the forums that alot of people drink it to get all their protein in. I have 52 grams I need per day. I'm going to start writting down everything I put in my mouth to see if I'm getting enough.

I'm going to try to. My daughter came home sick today, so I will play it by ear. I really would like to go as well. Have you bought any kind of protein powder? I went to GNC and bought a few different kinds. All were awful tasting. One of my girls went out to dinner last night with her boyfriend. She brought back her left over prawns. Two prawns later and one got stuck. Worst feeling I have ever had in my life. Today I had chicken for lunch and cut it up on my plate like I was feeding a two year old. So much better. I have to get used to that. I also have to stop weighing my self everyday. Today I was up 2 pounds. I know it would be water or something. Need to pick a day and stick to it. lol

Nibble through the day. Milk in the morning, cottage cheese w/ pineapple for lunch. Dinner I have been eating whatever the family is having. Today I ate smokies in blanket. Now my tummy hurt. Like it's upset. Family is having sadwiches for dinner. I'll have mine on a few crackers. Haven't tried bread becuase I really want to stay away from it. My mother in law seem to eat everything in site. At her house I saw candy and crap. I know she trys to say it's not hers. lol She's lost 25 pounds since July when she had her band done in Mexico. What did you decide on the 1st fill?? Before or after Xmas?

How have you been feeling? I'm feeling great now. Over did it yesterday driving and running errands. I've lost 40 pounds now since I started this whole thing. I even bought new jeans last night 16/18 from a 22. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

40 pounds also includes what I lost before hand and during the pre-opt diet. I would like to go to the meeting to on Monday night too. I was told liquid for 24 hours and then mushie for 24 hours. Then ok to eat again. How much are you able to eat at a sitting?

How you feeling this week? I'm feeling pretty good. Spent yesterday running errands all day and in the car driving. A bit tired and sore last night. Post-opt appt went great. I have my fisrt fill on Dec. 29th. Baidaids are off and everthing looking good. Ran into a friend yesterday that I haven't seen in 6 months and she could tell I have lost weight. 40 pounds since I saw her last. All my clothes are getting way to big. My jeans are 22- I bought cheap jeans last night from Walmart and they are 16/18 stretch- but not in the womens. I had to call my mom last night to tell her. She's been so happy for me. At first I think she was really concerned.

Hey Rhonda~

I feel pretty good today too. A little gas pain aswell still in left shoulder. I also feel a little dizzy today. I have been trying to get a Slimfast down to help with that. I gained 6 pounds between the gas & IV- as of this morning I have lost all that plus 4 pounds.

Had my surgery yesterday. So far so good. Little pain under left shoulder from the gas. Under control with heat and meds. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Woke up off and during the night. Finally had to pee. lol

Only real pain I had yesterday was my left shoulder where the gas was stuck. Put on one of those back heating things and kept it on all night. Not to bad today.

Have a great Thanksgiving... I'll be heating up turkey broth... yum yum

I have no clue where that name came from. lol

I had surgery today @ 1pm. I was out of there by 3:45. I want to sleep but can't right now. Next does of pain meds and I'm sure will.

I'm very excited. I'm sure when I wake up in the morning- the nerves will set in. I hope to god I lose 10 pounds by Wed afternoon. lol

Also looking at your name. My daughters middle name is Renee. Everyone thought I was crazy spelling it that way. I loved it adn still do.

How ya feeling today? I think I ate too much yesterday. I slipped from the 2 shakes. But will try harder for the next two days.

Hope your surgery went well. I was there on the 19th for my pre-opt. I bet you were in the back resting. I live in Monroe, but I'm going to try and hit most meetings too.

I couldn't drink the stuff they wanted me to buy- so I have been drinking 2 slimfast and one frozen meal. I've lost another 5 pounds in three days. Can't wait for the surgery. How was your pain afterwards? Did the gas hurt your shoulders?
