i got a question even though i'v had the band for 6months i've never had good restriction, but i think i'm there now my question is it normal to only eat about a tablespoon of anything and then be to fulll to eat more and if you do you pb i can still drink my h2o but i can't gulp down a whole bottle with pausing for a while the way i understand as long as i drink my h2o i'm not to tight so i guess i'm asking if you think being this tight is what i have been waiting for i hope is the right way for this thing to work because i ready to start losing1!!!

Good morning Susan. How are you today? Still feeling full? Details.... I need details. lol Since I go for my first fill next week, I'm hoping I won't have any problems and know what to expect. Sometimes I am soooo ready for it, sometimes I am kinda nervous about it. I sure was hoping we would have a meeting this month. Since I haven't actually met anyone, I kinda feel like a fish outta Water. Anyway, have a good day everyone. I will check in with yall later.

Well.... I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag, sorta speak. lol Many, many, many moons ago..... I worked for Dr. Ronnie Robertson, DVM. Jana, knows him well. That's how I know Jana. She probably don't remember me, but I do remember her. I also worked for the Bruechner's a few years after I worked for Dr. Ronnie. I was their tech and did everything from weighing to X-ray. Surgeries, lab and all that other good stuff that a vet tech does. (I weighed all of 120lbs then and tuff as a boot.) I have also worked other places in MP. I worked at the hospital several years ago. (lab) My last job was at Big Tex. So....does that shed some light on the subject?

Just wait til Jana reads this...she's gonna say "huh?"

talk to yall later.

"HUH" Can't wait till the meeting to see if you are who I think you are.

Everyone needs to wear a name tag telling what your name is on here.

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. I am so swamped. I don't know how long I can hold down two jobs. I am afraid I am going to have to quit subbing at the school. I really hate to because I enjoy the kids. This week I have been in the Ag shop. Everyone is working on the welding projects for the HOuston Livestock Show.

I have got to find time to go and get a fill. I am starving to death and this is a first for me. I have lost 1 lb since the first of the year. I wanted to hit that 100lb mark sooo bad, but it is that elusive brass ring I can't quite reach.

Told ya! lol When we get to have a support meeting, I'll be the one NOT wearing the name tag. You will probably know me anyway. I don't know, you might not. Older, much larger, glasses now. gray hair... the list goes on and on. lol Jana, just go with me Monday. I'll scoot over and let you get a fill. lol I'm beginning to get excited bout mine. If it weren't for the battle scars on my stomach, I sometimes wonder if I dreamed that I got my band. lol

Did yall check out the new website? It has the dates for group meetings on there.... site address is noscales.com. It's cool.

better git, talk to yall later.

Morning, yall! Susan, how are you? still got restriction? I'm just green with envy. But I get to go Monday. I hope it helps. I have a question. If you go without a meal, do you get sick at your stomach? I got home from church last nite and I don't like to eat that late at nite (8:30) and I just wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat. This morning, I feel yucky. Kinda have a upset stomach. I had part of a shake, but I still feel like I could barf all over the place. Sorry to be so graphic. Please tell me this is just a glitch and I'm not getting some kinda virus.

Well... enough bout that. I don't wanna bring everyone down. Just askin.

Yall have a good day.

Hello to all. I think it's great that we have so many people supporting each other on this board.

Since one of our patients suggested that we establish some sort of feedback on our website, I just added a new feature.

I just added a blog to our home page at www.noscales.com

Just go to the website and click on the 'blog' button at the bottom of the screen.

Every few days I'll try to have myself, Dr Keilin, Betty, Amy, Tammy, Deb, Angie, or Jamie from our office post some thoughts.

The best part is people can add comments! On the bottom of each blog entry is a button marked 'comments'. (It currently reads '0 comments') You can press that button and leave your own thoughts if you like and comments can be anonymous.

Let me know what you think about this new feature, and also what topics you would want to hear more about.

I finally did it. I called and got an appointment for another fill. I go on Monday the 12th. That is the same day as the support meeting in Texarkana so I think I'll hang around and go to it. I have missed several meetings. I have only been to 4 and I have to make at least 6. I'll still come to the one here. I hope this will get me back on track. I have the muchies sooo bad. I try to only eat things that are good for me but I am still eating too much. One lb in one month is not enough. That elusive 100 lb loss is looking further and further away.

Guess I just have the blahs. I have had the crud the last several days and this weather isn't helping much. I feel too bad to work out. Oh well, tomorrow will be better. Hopeful the sun will come out and warm things up.

Jana!!! You can do this. Don't get discouraged. Just take a look at your ticker. 95 lbs???? That is nuthin to sneeze at. You stick to your guns, young lady and (man, I just gotta say it, sorry) git er done!

I hope you feel better soon.

I have figured out something... if you drink all the Water you supposed too, you loose weight faster. Took me YEARS to figure that one out. Maybe, because I hated the taste of our water.

Maybe, your appointment will lift your spirits and get you motivated again. I hope so.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
