Not so great here...last 3 days...unable to hold ANYTHING down...including water. Got 12 oz in 2 days to actually stay down. Well, lead me to my area hospital for some fluids before I became extemely dehydrated. They did some blood that came back with dangerously slow potassium...so they tried to give me the pills...told them can't take pills, then they gave me this big cup of an elixer, tasted like crap, and surprise...couldn't keep it down. So then they said IV. So they started it really high. Thought my arm was going to fall off...it burned and hurt so bad, so they slowed it down...still the same thing...so they said I'll have to stay over night for a very slow drip. I had to talk to the PA Liz today anyway to figure out what she wants to do about the throwing up...so she'll have to schedule this now. So...not doing so great..soon as I know something...I'll fill you all in. Down to 280 from 342 though!
Hey Jess, hope all is better for you. Keep us informed! My prayers are with you.
I myself am not feeling so well, as of the last few days, my stomach just doesn't want to take in anything. When I do eat, I get like a pot that's overflowing feeling. I'm not eating much, just dipping baby spoon in food and licking it. Even the water isn't going down really well anymore. I'm hoping this feeling will go away soon.
Take care and keep us informed please!

Hi Shannon.......Jes, Elaine, ....everyone.
I got your message Shannon. Thank you for checking in on me...that was very sweet and considerate. I'm sorry I didn't call back. When I got back downstairs and heard my cell beeping, it was really late and I didn't want to wake you.
Now that I have custody of my grandsons, believe me, my ENTIRE day rotates around them. Even when I'm at work, I'm getting or making calls that will help one or both. I don't know if I mentioned, but my 3 year old grandson Max has been diagnosed with moderate to severe autism so he requires alot of attention as you can imagine. And then Riley is only 14 months, and the little guy needs lots of attention too. So.........by the time I get them down for bed (I start at 7pm and everyone is usually asleep by 8:30pm)...then grandmas beat and I fall asleep too.
I'm not really sure what's happened to my life since late summer.......not complaining, but just hoping everyone in my family will be well and happy for the new year. Right now I'm concentrating on the boys.
I'm at 288 (haven't seen that weight since I don't know when), which makes me down 51 pounds. I feel better, still not eating much...just not hungry. I have to remember to eat now. I'm doing a tad better with liquids but doubt that I'm getting enough still. But again, I do feel better...not so winded. I think the boys exhaust me so can't really measure that part of it.
You're doing great Shannon. I haven't heard from Elaine or seen many posts from her. Jess..........I'm so worried about her!!! I hope all is well.
Glad you're back to work. That helps with snacking and grazing. I walk through the parking lot and around my building (which is HUGE) and I get tons of exercise. Keep on doing what you've been doing. You all are doing great.
To all............glad to see so many new people. Best of luck to all who are starting out. It can be a long road, but you'll get there. And this is a very nice place to come for advice, a shoulder, and friendship.........welcome.
Love to all.

Hi shelli
im here and I was wondering where u were I even asked shannon whats up . As I can see you have your hands full and God bless u the old saying God does not give us more than we can handle. I personally at time feel he is trying me . So you are busy and I hope your daughter is comming along steady and thank God your mom is here for the extra back up.
As far as I am doing im just ok im down 30 pounds since I started with Dr. Roye , and I see him for my first fill on next mon. The 13th and I really need it to curbe my appitite more this is the best choice for me , but u 3 others are really loosing fast from surgery. Hats off to u . Im sorry jessica has been so sick . Enough is enough for any one when is the recovery going to be over.My next door neighbors husband was saying how great I look and it pist her off . So the other night she called and was being rude so I gave her some **** She is over 300 pound and eats like she says as well as any man and is comfortable with her weight.I suggested she should think about WLS for her own health. I dont say much to her and she asked if I did something like that and I said weigh****chers. I would never tell her about my lovely lap band . Its because I love she is always such a ***** and I t would take the fun out of ignoring her. Im bad but I have no use for mean gossip trouble makers like she is and the rest of my neighbors feel the same way . I f you feel like talking or want to meet for a coffee somewher even with the kids e mail me or call my cell and ill be right back to u take care and keep up th e good job your doing ...................... Elaine
