Wednesday Roll Call
Good Morning Illinois! Not much to report today. Still stuck in my weightloss, but I've put a call in to the doc to see if maybe a fill is needed. I still have lots of restriction, but somethings got to change. I really don't believe that I could be eating too much at this point, and the starvation thing wouldn't last this long. So I'll put myself in the hands of the professionals. I hope evryone has a good day! Paul

Good Morning Paul and Illinois!
Paul, I dont know much about the band, but could it be like RNY that you stall around 3 months out? I went into a months stall about that time and it drove me nuts!
Very frustrating. Sorry it is happening to you. Good move in contacting your doctor.
I hope everyone survived the heat yesterday. I came home from work only to find my air conditioner was not working. UGH!!! It was HOT inside my house. I had just had my ac serviced 3 weeks ago so that had me more steamed. The service people finally got there about 8:30 so I did get to sleep in cooler surroundings. Whew!
Yesterday was expensive for me. Between the ac bill and spending almost $500.00 in car repairs on my almost 5 year old vehicle I definitely need to go to work to earn some money.
I just love it when you get to the point you need things such as brakes, tire rotations, balancing, alignments etc.
Have a great day!

good morning!! paul, i really hope your docs are able to get your weight loss moving again for you! nothing more frustrating than a plateau!
i had a horrible eating day yesterday. lets rephrase, my head is telling me that it was horrible but in reality, it probably wasn't all that bad. we went to the girls great grandparents house for a visit and lunch. well, grandma can be VERY persuasive on what she thinks you should eat. lol. so, a spoonful of mac & cheese, 1/2 a hot dog bun with italian beef (plus the au jus she threw on when i wasn't looking), and a homemade banana cream pie (made with SF pudding so i guess not TOO bad, but was loaded with more fruit that i allow myself) later, i felt icky. i felt very sluggish and just not like my normal self. that destroyed the diet for the remainder of the day. cause the carb monster was allowed back in so i was fighting big time!!! i was beating myself up probably way more than i needed to but i just don't want to have yet another relapse and gain back the weight that i've lost again.
today is a new day and so far so good!!! =) my 4 year old has her last ballet class tonight and the day is promised to be hot Hot HOT and we have no a/c in our car. yay! should be fun. lol lots of grocery shopping to do, some laundry too. i hope that everyone has a great day!!! stay cool

Christie, your day yesterday doesn't sound so bad, eating-wise. Just get back on track today.
As to the OP, I don't know much about the band, but it sounds like a stall, where your body is saying "Huh? What's happening? Must...hold...onto...weight...or...I'll ...starve!" Hang in there!
It's a hot one today! Meeting a friends and her kids at a pool to cool off!
Have a good one!

Good Morning Illinois. Its Hump Day again. We can now look forward to the 1st w/e of August.
Don't know about your schools, but here it is registration for the HS. The high school starts on 8/12. Don't know what your opinion is, but to me thats way way to early to start. The grade schools will start around the 25th. Whatever happened to the September start date? We never went bac****il the day after Labor Day, and we still got out for the sumer by the 5th of June.
Today I am planning on staying home. At least til later this afternoon. Then we need to go pick up some windows that are on order. Also go back to Walmart. I pickup a lot of frabic yesterday, but I still need some other colors, so i will try the one in LaSalle.
I hope noone got hit with the sever storms last night. We got a lot of wind, but hardly any rain.
Have a great day,
Hugs

Good morning Paul and the rest of Illinois!
Paul, hang in there, it IS about 3 months when your body stops everything in trying to re-adjust to what you have done to it. I KNOW you are not done losing. Besides, you are looking and feeling SO much better than you were 5 months ago!
Liv's appointment with the director went well. I had David go with her and the director asked David if HE would like to audition. David said he thought it might be fun, but he declined. The director said that he will let Liv know for sure after the rest of the call-backs are finished, no later than next Tuesday. Since Liv will be in Georgia, and we will be in Vegas, I will ask David to keep an eye on the answering machine while we are away, then let me know via that modern miricle.....the cell phone!
After work today, I need to get my hair trimmed, exchange a skirt and take David's application for the Boy Scout Jamboree into the council office. I guess the Jamboree is a BIG deal and he has to APPLY to be able to attend. Interesting.
Speaking of the skirt......a small NSV for me last night. I have been doing a little shopping for my trip and I decided to check out Old Navy. In my former life, I could only dream of shopping there. Anyway.....I picked out a few things to try on, all from the back of the rack where the biggest sizes are. I picked the two largest sizes (XL & L) to try on and the XLs were TOO BIG!!!! A couple of the Ls were a bit loose, but I don't want skin tight, so I BOUGHT them! I can't BELIEVE that I did that! Cute clothes......me? The only reason I am exchanging it is I came to my senses and decided to exchange white for black.
My life for the next few days will revolve around getting everyone packed and ready for where they need to be next week.
I wish everyone a lovely day!

Good morning Paul and Illinois,
My day started out great even thoyugh i am tired and still recouping from my road trip with Carla. She is wonderful! Sfter not weighing since subday I finally broke below 250 i was 247 this am..yipee!! but then I started dwelling on an aggravation from yesterdy and now i want to cry. I'm going to paste what happend about my dr.s' appt yesterdy:
Anyway, Carla and I were hurrying to get back here yesterday for my 1:30 consult with the pulmonologist about having a sleep study done, and fighting construction and detours along the way ( it took 3 months for me to get that appt). mY hubby calls at 11:30 to tell my that they canceled my appointment
(2nd cancel) Apparently my endocrinologist was supposed to have me have the sleep study first and then see the pulmonologist!! So now I have to wait for the paper referral so I can call the hospital and scehdulet he sleep studay and after that call and reschedule with the pulmonologist Delays, delays and more. Originally I thought I'd have my RNY in August, then Sept, then Oct, then Nov......now who knows hopefully before Christmas. BTW they haven't even submitted to the insurance co for approval tand won't until everything is done.
Do you think then I'll have lost too much weight and won't be able to have the surgery? No bp meds now bp is 90/58. No cholesterol meds now that is 189. I know these things all make a healthier me but I am back to being afraid I won;t meet the criteria to have the wls and will never get normal or will gain this back...
I'm sorry gotta go and cry... Hugs, Paulette
I'm sorry I am whinning...ttyl. Paulette

Hi Paulette, hope you and Carla had a great time! You will have to tell me about it!
Don't fret about losing too much weight, I was told they go by the original BMI and weight from the first visit. They must have filed for a pre-approval in order to know what you need to do before surgery. You will have all the requirements done for approval soon. Get your date for the sleep study then call immediatly for the pulmonologist appointment. Tell them this has been canceled twice (by them, not you) and see if they can get you in quicker. Keep positive it will happen!

Hi Carol, thanks for the encouraging words. I feel much better this afternoon. I think being tired made my emotions out of whack!. I had a great time with Carla and I will tell you about our trip and all the lovely ladies I got to meet from the Over 50 Forum. Paulette
Good morning Paul and Illinois!
At last night's support group meeting the subject of plateaus came up. The co-ordinator who runs the group said that every 3 months she eats only protein for 2 weeks and that usually restarts the weight loss. That may be something to try. Along with protein only sf popsicles and sf jello is okay.
I got to meet Katy (luknlivsmom) at support group and Sandy. They are both very nice! Can't wait to see them again.
Today I have no plans other than the gym tonight. I feel like I snuck out early yesterday since I was going to support group. Only had 1/2 hour there. Oh well can't be in two places at the same time.
Keep cool everyone and have a great day!
