That is why I have never driven into the loop.  I drive through the city sometimes but have only driven in the city by accident except for one trip to Devon Ave for Indian food before I found other reasonably good Indian food in Des Plains.

So you have been forgiven?

Yes it is COLD! I hate being cold all the time. I have been having hot flashes too so one min I am hot then the next cold.

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.

Thanks! It is hard but I just stay busy with the kids and grandkids. I also give my mom a lot of time since my step dads passing.  Then I have the kids on the bus. Its not like havng him home but they are all good distractions to missing him.

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

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!

Good morning Paulette and the rest of IL,
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
