Saturday Roll Call
I am making Thanksgiving Dinner today my hubby will be home later this afternoon for the first time since a week before Halloween. I am making a small ham, cornbread dressing, mashed potato's,gravy and corn. My son will make the deviled eggs. I already have an apple pie and pumpkin cooked I just had to thaw, so I will just sit them in the oven after the ham comes out. I will not be eat ting any I had a .3 fill on Thursday when I seen Dr R and I am following the eating to the T. I don't want to have to get any removed again. I had to really fight a weight gain when we had to remove 1 cc of fill in Oct.
Now for my happy news! I have finally lost 100 pounds!!
Not officially through Dr R but from the point where I began the process of getting WLS. I still have 22 pounds through the doc. Its been a long process to lose this weight but at least I do know the lapband definitely works. Its a tool and if you listen to it and eat the right foods it will do the job! I have not ate the right foods all along I know. I have cheated many times but then I think hey you almost died having this tool installed so what are you doing? My heart went hay wire during my WLS, but there wasn't anything wrong with it! 
I started out wearing 22 to 24 pants and these were stretch, 3x to 4x in my tops, my undies were a size 11!!!
Wow they are huge. I have saved one full outfit that I look at when I get down about not being able to have something that I really loved before.
Today my pants are size 10 and some 8's, my tops are lg to XL and the undies are a 7, my coat went from 3x to lg. I am so happy with my results! All this in 20 months.
Glad you got answers to what as causing you to feel so poorly. My sister-in-law has the same thing and her meds did help her fel better like with in a few days. She said it was like night and day on how much better she felt.
Have fun on your little get away!

Karen that is great, I know how you are feeling, when I got my first 100 lbs off I was on top of the world, Your Dr. is right it is just a tool and if we use it the right way the weight will come off, Don't feel bad not sticking to it 100% I don't think anyone does, we all have a eating problem if we didn't we would not had to have the WLS.
Again Congrats on your lost you are doing a great JOB.
Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Cookie baking sound like fun, I used to make cookies and candy for giving but not any more, I am like Christina I don't think I could trust myself around all the sweets as that was always my down fall,
Sorry for you lost of a friend that is very hard any time of the year but I think it is harder around the Holidays,
Christina glad you have a answer on what is going on, Did they put you on Thyroid meds for it?
Hope you and Calvin enjoy your time off together and have a good time,
For me today not much going on, I went yesterday to the foot Dr. and I asked if I could get out of the boot one week early and we came up with a deal, He said that I could take it off if I need to go out in the snow but said I should keep it on at home or when going out when the snow if plowed, I said I could do that of the last week,
Hope everyone has a good day and stay warm and drive careful
