I had to pay my insurace did not pay anything. I used care credit for the $12,000 and then paid $3,000 in cash. I was worth every penny....:thumbdown:

Wow you guys are doing great. I had my first follow up with my Dr. on Monday and he is delighted with my lose of 3lbs (by his scale fully dressed) and I am delighted to say that I have FINALLY dropped belowe 300 lbs for the first time in 6 years. I am so excited. I look forward to my first fill on Jan 26th and can't wait to see what happens. All of you are an inspiration for me to stay on track. PS. I am on real food for the first time in 4 weeks.

losingjusme thanks for reminding all of us that it is dangerous for us to get sloppy with our eating habits. I had the first follow up with my Dr yesterday and he was delighted that I had lost 3lb in the 10 days since surgery. He will do my first fill on the 1/26 and I am ready. I have really not had a problem staying on the food plan because I see this a long term life style change. I have lost weight before but have never been able to keep it off. I have to believe that this is the answer.

We are at the same place. I went back to work yesterday and did ok until about 3:30 and then I began to fade. I am taking it easy today and have an appointment with my Dr. Monday. I hope he will let me go back to Curves. I have been walking everyday but I want to start a little more activity. How are you doing on your exercise?

That is why I love this forum. I am looking forward to a long and skinnie relaltionship you each of you.:tongue2:

My Dr. will not do a fill until 6 weeks after the surgery. He wants me to be completely healed. Weeks surgery-2 clear liquides, 2-6 mushy. However the clear liquides does include things like grits and mashed potatoes very thin. I am doing ok so far. I go back to work tomorrow so my days will be so busy I won't have time to think about being hungrey. It is only in the evening when I have a problem.

We do it one day at a time. I don't get mushies until Jan 9th so I feel your pain. I has been very hard but I have stayed on track so far. How are you doing.

:laugh: Thanks, you made me feel so much better. I thouht I was the only one that gained right after surgery. I gained 4lbs and was pissed. Now I know it was just the surgery and the hit my system took. I am learing how to listen to my body and that is hard. In the past all I ever listend to was the food. I hope I can keep focused and keep losing. I will not have a fill for 5 more weeks. So being careful with water, calories, and protein are all thats on my mind right now.

Today at 301 I am so close I am waiting for the 299 they are my WOW, It has been 6 years since I was below 300. I am excited and can't wait. Looking forward to the New Year and the New Me. Keep it up and keep in touch...

I to am on the clear liquid stage and I am doing ok. My family went to Golden Coral and I had a V8 juice. So I feel you pain. I know it is hard but all of us need this or we would not have gone through the pain and cost. YOU can do it to...

Can't wait to hear how you do. I did great and I know you will to.

Sheesh, How are you doing. Waiting to hear from you.
