crzytchr, Does you insurance(s) have a max deductible? I know when I had my surgery that my max out of pocket copay was $2000 and the rest of this year I don't have to pay ANYTHING for anything else I need done. And for that matter I am taking full advantage of it. I had an adonimal CT scan (I had some pain) so I don't have to pay anything until it resets Jan 1st. Check and see.

crzytchr - I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I've only experienced a Migraine headache a few times in my life and it was so debilitating I couldn't even move without throwing up. You are a strong person to be able to teach kids with a migraine. When I have a simple headache, my own kids are intolerable. I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery quick.

Orea - I'm sending postiive thoughts your way. Keep thinking positive about a great job for your DH.

shrinknme - I hope you have a great trip overseas. Can't you still get on the internet where you're going? We'll miss you.

It is one deductible per year, but I changed school districts, so I changed insurance companies, so I have to meet the new company's deductible. It sucks, but it must be done. I just hate that on jan. 1, a new year starts with a new deductible AGAIN!

Have a Merry Christmas and try to check in from time to time.

I hope your stomach flu does indeed pass quickly -- cautionary note - if you are throwing up, then you may need to go see your doctor for an unfill as this can cause slippage (so I have heard).

I think I will have to try the Water and jumping jack trick myself. I have had alot of trouble with the unhealthy snacking. I have two teens who are very supportive accept they don't want to give up their junk foods. So it is in the house still. If I have a craving I don't have far to go to find it. I haven't lost any weight in a month. Well, I havn't gained any either. Any idea's?

Bubbles, if you haven't lost any weight in a month and you don't feel satisfied with 1 to 1 1/2 cup of solid food, then go in for a fill. It did the trick for me! Don't know why I waited so long between the last fill and the fill before!

I'll be glad when I can get a fill too, I gained 3lbs this week. The curves lady said I'm retaining Water, I hope that's the case. Eather way I'm in a good mood today because I got my biopsy back and all was good, just a complex cist. After 6 weeks of worrying about it, It feels good to let my brain relax.

Woo Hoo! Great news!

{{{Kimaly!}}} Great news. :-D I'm so happy for you.

Orea, you're so close -- less than 3lbs to go! Your weight loss has been awesome!

I had an IBS attack the other night which helped me drop a few pounds. Not a comfortable way to lose it. I still have abdominal tenderness and slight queasiness. But yes, it looks like I'll make it to the 200's by Christmas! :rolleyes2:

My face and my bust are showing the loss at the moment. :cursing:

It's good to lose it in the face but HATE losing it in the bust. I don't have much of a butt, but I think that's where I'm losing it because it's getting positively bony!

I guys. I don't post often but I read your notes every couple of days and have really found support with you. I wish I could loose in by butt. I've gone down from a 26 to a 16 pants size but when I look in the mirror I still see my big rear. I've seen it big for 15-20 years so I guess my mind hasn't caught up with my weight loss. :rolleyes2:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
