Topic: 3 1/2 weeks 25 lost
I had surgery on Nov. 3 and have lost a total of 25lb. I feel great and my blood sugars have declined tremendously. Before surgery they were 250-300 but now they are staying under 150 and have even gone down as low as 110. The only trouble I have had is three of my small incesions have come open and I was concerned about that. But they have been healing and the lower blood sugars help that. Has any one else had this problem? Otherwise I feel great and have not goten sick any so must be doing something right. Can't wait until spring so I can get out and do the things I love to do. Been taking it easy and havent walked as much as I would have until my incesions heal fully. But am so happy with the results so far.
Topic: The Full-Liquid Diet
I'm going crazy on this full-liquid diet. Soup, pudding, jello, protein drinks! What else is there? I'm sick, sick, sick of the same ol' same ol'.
Topic: First App't With Surgeon...

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Topic: BEST Sugar Free Margarita EVER!
Hey Everyone! I just had to share this with ya'll. There is a lady that lives in the town that I do that created a Margarita mix that has ZERO Sugar, ZERO Carbs, ZERO Calories and ZERO Fat.. If you are a Margarita lover like I am, you have got to try this product. It is GREAT! It is being sold right now through a citrus tree company, but she will have her own webpage up soon, when she gets it up, I will let everyone know! But if you are interested in having a Lemon or Lime Tree and want some Margarita mix, you can find it at :www.keylimepietree.com/nocarbarita.html
I know I have not been on this site for quite some time, but I am trying to get back on track. I have done pretty well with maintaining my weightloss. My surgery was in March 2005, I weighed 240, I am still at 130. I am very happy with my success. I hope everyone is doing great.

Topic: RE: Newbie
Dr Shin is an excellent Dr. I know what you are saying about just wanting to get on with it. But the time will go by so fast. Have you done the required documented diet plan for your insurance yet? I came to realize that i dealt with being overweight for 27 years then I can do it for 6 months. A good friend of mine got the lapband done and he said it was the best decision he has ever made. There is a lot that you have to do to prepare for the surgery. A lot more then I thought. I know when I went to see Dr Shin I had to see the dietician and the excercise physiologist. It was a very mentally exhausting day because it was like , "Alright , it is all out on the table now".
Good Luck with everything!

Hi, Jana! My first appointment with Dr. Shin is on December 2. Now that I've decided on the lap band I'm just so anxious to get going with it! What happened on your first visit? By the way, I live in Charleston. - Pat
