I hope your feeling better soon. So I wonder if that means it won't take much of a fill for you to get restriction?

I've been wanting a salad so I stopped at Jack in the Box and got the grilled southwest salad without the dressing. I ate it with the corn chips. OMG It was so so spicy. I don't think I'll ever get one again. I also went grocery shopping and got some of that new Silk Almond milk. It sounded good and different. I'm not much of a milk lover anyway.

How many cc's do you have so far?

I only needed liquid Advil and only for the first 2 days. I never even opened my Lortab.

I'm the same way. If your taking the narcotics I'd try to stop them and maybe get some nausea meds from your doc. I hope your feeling better soon.

Good Job!! That's amazing.

Well when I was 14 I had my tonsils out. The first surgery went fine but something went wrong and I lost a LOT of blood. They took me back into Emergency Surgery. They had a very hard time waking me up and when I did wake up I had people all around me and alarms going off everywhere. It totally freaked me out. Since then though I've had 5 other surgeries and they all went great! I do understand your fears though. I'm sure you will do just fine. ((HUGS))

Congratulations on both the engagement and the weight loss! Good Job!

I mix mine up a day at a time and then store them in a small pitcher in the fridge. I use Nectar or Un Jury.

My doc says once you reach the right level of restriction you will actually be full with just 3 meals a day. Right now though I'm eating 3 small meals and 2 snacks.

It is tough! If your not already try adding skim milk to your shakes.

My Zumba tapes shipped today:) I can't wait to try them out.

I definitely wouldn't wait till Tuesday. Your Mom's advice sounds great though!

Honestly I would ask for a urinalysis first before I took an antibiotic. It could be from a UTI but it could also be from a virus or other infection. Since your surgery is coming up I'd rather be certain about what's going on rather than guessing. I would think if you get further testing now you should be fine by your surgery date.

Good luck to you! I know for most insurance your BMI has to be at least 35.

I wasn't given a catheter. When it was time for me to go to the OR they made me go to the bathroom right then.

Okay I ended up ordering them also. How soon after surgery can we start them?

I don't feel any restriction either and I'm really hungry. I would increase your calories. I try to get around 900 a day.

Does your doctor offer a support group? If so do you go to the meetings? What are they like? My doctor offers them and requires that I attend so many a year in order to get my fills. Right now though I have no clue when I'll be able to make one. I only have one babysitter and her mom is in ICU right now.

I aim for 900 a day. That seems to work perfectly for me. For right now the only exercise I get is chasing after my 3 kids but I plan to get back on the treadmill next week when school starts.

I can't decide. I was thinking If I go back to low carb/high Protein at least that will control my appetite while I'm waiting for restriction. I just refuse to gain back any of what I've lost already and I'd like to get under 200 soon. I only have 6 pounds to go.

It looks interesting. Which videos did you order? The total transformation set? I'd like to try it but I'd rather buy just 1 video to start with that way I'm not wasting my money if I don't like it.

How many calories a day are you eating right now?

So how do I lose weight between now and my first fill which is 4 weeks away? I'm thinking I should just go back on Weight Watchers in the meantime. I find it easier to track points rather than calories. I'm determined to lose more weight before my first fill. How do you guys lose weight while waiting on your first fill? And I know the first fill may not give me complete restriction but it should help a little right? My doc does 3-4 cc's the first time.

My doctor does 3-4 cc the first time.
