:lol:Theresa and Deb-----

How did you guys do at the casino? Great, I hope :w00t:

I'm still jealous!!!!!

Deb---- it was great seeing you again. Casino mext time for sure!!!

Theresa---- Let me know if you want to go to Bingo

The casino was fun, of course. I couldn't win anything all day though. Spending the day with Deb was even better.

Don't know about bingo...I'll have to let you know when you want to go. I'm too busy right now to even think about it.

I have mysteriously lost 3 pounds in the last week. This even though I did touch the halloween candy. It makes no sense, but I will take it. Good luck on the challenge. This has got to be the hardest part of the year to do it.

My surgery is this Friday and I am working on my freakout. I have to do that a couple days ahead of time. I cannot wait until this is over with. I am hoping after surgery I get off the hormones and am able to exercise again, I will actually lose a bit more weight. I have a slight success in that I've moved down one pant size.

Julie, I am going to say 10 for the Xmas Challenge.

This last fill is totally doing its job. I lost 3 lbs since our pizza night last Monday! Having to really watch what I eat - major slime incidents with Pasta and crackers so far. :smile2:

Hi Deb,

I'm sorry I missed you too. I could use a dose of your goofiness! :-)

I live about 90 minutes from that part of Denver and it would have been past my bedtime if I'd met up with you so late. I'm hoping for next time.

I think maybe it is time for a bit of a fill. I haven't lost more than three pounds in the last several weeks. I can eat pretty much anything, as long as I take small bites and eat slowly. But I am getting hungry sooner than I used to, and am definitely eating larger portions...What do you think? How do you know when you are ready to get "topped-off"?

Mary

Amino acids are what Proteins are made of, so I can't see a problem with the band. The pills can't be that huge and this therapy is used by various folks for bariatric patients.

I ate a large portion of ice cream tonight trying out my new ice cream scoop from Wilton. It's great. I am a bit stressed out right now. That and I can't have milk at all tomorrow. Which I still don't understand.

OK, weighed in for the challenge. I lost two pounds this past week, so not sure I'll lose any during this first week. We'll see. Good luck everyone!

Confused...I thought today was the baseline weight for the challenge. Works for me that we're deducting though.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
