Topic: RE: 2nd Fill
Best of luck to you. I like to hear how things are going for you. I so appreciate your support. If you have a chance, I'll still be in the hospital so come by. It would be great to meet you. My full name is Barbara Harris.
Whether I see you or not, I really hope things go well for you.

Topic: Worried about my decision
My WLS date has been set for 4/7 with Dr. Fowler and I'm not sure why but I'm having mixed emotions. I have always felt I am a strong person, I have plenty to be thankful for but why can't I get my weight under control? I have been struggling with my weight for over 10 years now. I just wonder if I could conquer this weight by simply exercising and watching what I eat, without WLS. Then there is the other side of me that says, no, you can't, you've tried for years with no success. I'm on the fence, I just hope I am making the right decision. I know I'm over analyzing this because my surgery date is set and coming soon. Anyone else have this same thought process before your surgery? Thanks for your stories and your help!
Topic: 2nd Fill
I'm going to Oahu on Thurs to get another fill.... I have been stalled at 215 for 2 weeks now and can eat almost anything. My willpower is not as strong as it was when I first started.
Hoping this fill will give me some restriction along with a swift kick in the @$$!

Hey guys,
Thanks for keeping the momentum. I am so glad that my journey in life has led me here and with all of you. I am learning so much and wish I was not so stubborn and would have learned the easy way but then I would not be here so it all has a purpose. Glad everyone is on the way to a healthier life.

Hi Sara,
Thanks so much for the update... I think of you often and have been wondering how you are. I love the list you started and everyone's additions... I'll add a few of my own.
1. I can survive on just 1/2 cup of food at each meal.
2. I can live without soda, wine, beer, McDonalds, and RICE (who would have thought!)
3. I enjoy cooking heathy meals for myself and my family... we're worth it!
4. I LOVE getting rid of clothes that are too big (I had a garage sale today and sold my 2X's and made $100... time for a shopping trip)
5. I really love keeping in touch with all of you on the Hawaii Board.

Hi Sara,
It's great to hear that you are doing so well! I have to say that the things you learned are very similar to the ones I have learned and I wanted to add on to your list with a few things that I have learned.
1. I am capable of making good food choices.
2. I am a lot more aware of everything that I put in my mouth.
3. I don't think about food all the time anymore.
Take care,
Ole

I was there yesterday. Were you in the office lobby with that precious baby? I'm sorry you didn't say anything. It would have been fun to meet you. I did run into Colleen who's being banded on the 17th. I'm being banded on the 18th. Is your surgery date scheduled?
