 I'm only at 3 1/2 CCs and have my next fill on Monday. I'm hoping I'll they'll do a little more to help me get to that spot. Hope it's soon. I KNOW I'm eating too much, but I'm just not filling full...

Thank!!!

Topic: FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST
 Good Afternoon Everyone,

I know.....I am REALLY late posting this and for that I am very sorry.    I had a family crisis this AM that I had to take care of and didn't have time to post.    But better late than never.    As we ALL know this is a grateful post.    We ALL have things in our life that we need to be grateful for.   No matter how large or small it may be.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Today I am grateful for "new beginnings".    We were never promised a rose garden in our life and trust me....,mine lately has been more like a patch of stickers.     But I am so grateful for the trials that come our way in our lives.   It makes us a much stronger person in the end for all the valleys that we have to go through to get to those "mountaintop adventures" that are so memoriable.    Grateful for second chances at doing better with our WLS food choices from day to day and also second chances at a more meaningful life as a smaller person.     Grateful for my WLS, my family and friends, my life although at times it is so dramatic and crazy, grateful for my dear sweet husband of 34 yrs.   Grateful for Obesity help and all the different message boards here and all the wonderful encouraging people here.    Grateful for the upcoming OH Conference Sept. 9 - 10 in New Orleans, La.    Have a blessed weekend.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I never have x-rays/fluoroscopy with mine....just a personal preference of my surgeon...UNLESS he is looking to solve some kind of problem.

Topic: RE: Diet ideas for vegetarian and gallbladder problems
I wanted to be on the liquid diet longer too..I really could have done it forever(I am NOT crazy, lol) but they told me that if I did that I would have MANY problems and end up ONLY being able to eat stuff we need to stay away from**** cream, milk shakes, high calorie liquid stuff), so, please, lower your expectations. I lost the same amounts of weight you did, during those same times. The only times I am told to do the liquid diet is a few days after a fill. Please be patient. When you are cleared to exercise again, try to do more than 30 minutes, and , it has been suggested to me by people in here to "change up" the types of exercises. Just my opinion.
