Thanks Barb, I feel the same about everyone here, its like we have known each other for a long time. Well it has been a long time I think since May. Lord how time flies hen we are having so much fun.

Not only that but Ive done it with out exercising. I was just given the ok by my back doctor to start this week, so im going to the ymca to do water arobics.

Thanks Shelby, They are going to put her in physical theraphy tomorrow morning.

WTG Jann, :lb13: Just make sure you keep loosing that way youre new 12's will come my way when you get into youre new 8's Love u bunches bandsister

Thanks Julie, you have all the respect in the world from me my dear. Thanks Jude, I intend to see this to the end, and I will be cheering you on as you begin this wonderful journey. Thanks Evette, I have followed in the great foot steps of Michelle, Anita, Kim, Julie, LisaL, Cathy, Dawnie, WillT and yourself to be able to be were I am right now. Reading all the post has been one of the best tools I have used. It's been trial and error. This has been the best time of my life. I have more energy now at 46 than when I was 36 or even 26. Its just amazing.

Thanks Julie, We almost lost her Saturday nite, she is a diabetic an her levels went down to 49 and almost into a coma. Thank God for the Nurse that went to check on her. If not I dont know what I would do without her. I LOVE NURSE'S they have the worst jobs and are way underpaid for what they have to do.....

Oh Kimberly, You dont know how easier its getting. As soon as I take some pics and learn how to put them up I will. I aslo cant wait till I hit that 199. I'm hoping thats my Christmas Present to me.

Thanks Jann, That means te world to me. Today she is doing much better, and they are ready to put her into physical therapy. And I will send give her youre messsage.

Girl who would have thought this would be so simple. I would have done it a long time ago.

Thanks Ute I just love those happy dances. And thanks also Tara. I just hope its smooth sailing from here on out.

Well today is the day that I see, as much would say "The glass is half empty". I am 50 lbs down and 50 lbs to go. This is the best I have felt in years. I have 1 scale victory and many NSV. My scale victory is i'm at 215 havent seen that number in about 15 or so years. The non scale victories are, clothes are much looser and people I havent seen in forever dont recognize me. Another NSV is my 71 year old mother who just went thru back surgery can't stop asking me,"and how much weight have you lost again" and she has to do it in front of all the nurses. I just love my mom. God bless her soul as sick as she has been since Tuesday's surgery and still bragging on my weight loss. Well it's one big step for me today. Now its time to empty the other half of the glass......

YAY Trina, Im so glad you're in restriction land. :lb16:

Doing the happy dance for you. :cheerleader: :girl_dance: only 17lbs for me to reach it.

Then yay for me beause thats what i'm loosing 1 to 2 lbs per week. Thank Jann for the helpful information.

That was the reason I didnt use them, I had heard of the stories. I got a cashiers check and faxed the copies to Lori. And took the check the day of surgery.

WTG Cathy, My oh my how time and pounds fly. Im so happy for you. It has been a wondeful journey. Im right behind you. I was so happy to be at 219 today 46 lds gone for good. So I'm doing the happy dance with you. :girl_dance: :girl_dance: :girl_dance:

My second fill was also above the first one and just below the large incision also. This is way to cool.

Here's hoping for great restriction.

Hey Bandsister, Im right there with you. Remember for the past month I was at a stand still. Well I started walking and drinking more water and Im going down about a pound a week, Ill take it. It is fustrating tho. But as long as Im not gaining Im ok. Ill send you my number, if you need to call Im there for you. Hey we have come a long way to give it up now.

Hey Juie I really hope youre feeling ok today. Keep us posted on how youre doing.

I went back to the OCC for my first fill. Second fill I did it in Amarillo Texas, Blind fill. He had to poke me 4 times to find the port. He did the same thing that Cathy said to bring one leg and lift the head. It hurt like heck I am planning my 3rd fill back at the OCC. Or I might go some where that does floro.

That happend to me about 2 weeks ago and the Dr said that I was dehidrated. So please make sure u get plenty of fluids. I hope u feel better soon.

The best one yet is taking youre clothes off and not having those marks on youre stomach because youre jeans are to tight. And I bet you all have been there. Im glad those days are over.

You see, It all went well. Glad you guys are home, I bet youre son is happy his mommy and daddy are back. Now its time to heal and rest. I know you guys are going to do it.

Hey Cathy, I get the hiccups and I start to burp. Thats when I push the plate away.
