You might ask your doctor that question especially since every surgeon is different with rules regarding travel. I think it depends on how far you are planning on travelling, by car,,plane..etc.

I've only made suggestions of therapy only because I'm in therapy myself,,and it has helped..me. I think most have to go through a psychological eval anyway so whether I suggest it or someone else does,,more than likely they will see a psych if they want the surgery. I agree,,it's all in the words and how you say it. I certainly don't want to offend anyone. This is a place to come for information,,sometimes it comes in the form of advice from experience and sometimes from opinion,,you just have to be open minded enough to accept it and try not to be so uptight over it. I learned that here after being smacked down a couple times.

I'm 215.4 this morning so I made my goal..with the exception of that .4 to be technical about it.lol I know I've had a small loss but I lost 6 pounds this week alone doing lilmissdiva's bootcamp...boy does it work! My goal till Monday is to maintain or lose more.

That's an amazing loss, you should be so proud!

You can't go wrong by cutting carbs..I can't believe it..I am only 1.4 pd from my goal. I think I'm going to make it!

SW 230 CW 219.4 GW 215 My weight is fluctuating up and down this week. I was off track eating but was very active and got my protein in. My last week, I'm doing 2 days of full liquids then going to hit Diva's bootcamp..keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it happen.

I agree, I'm stumped.

I'm just guessing I've lost more gray hair and maybe their being out numbered by the dark hair coming in?lol

I've lost alot of hair but new hair is coming in. The really cool thing is that I apparently lost some gray hair and my dark hair is coming back in so I haven't had to color my hair in 2 months now..the gray is going away. Has anyone else had this happen?

Never ever accidently drink a glass of wine then take ambien shortly after If you take it,it's best to take it right as you are going to bed,,don't take it early because you'll do all kinds of weird s***.

SW 230 Last week 222.4 Current weight 218.6 Goal weight 215 I'm getting close! Weight keeps fluctuating 1-3 pounds so hope I can make it. Getting my protein in, exercising but struggling with fluids..going to work on that!

I can't get to your blog using your link

I agree with O.T.R. Here's a good link that explains ketosis. http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/faq/f/whatisketosis.htm

Oh,,I'm jealous.lol jk..your tummy looks awesome. I have 6 and wish I had only 1 but like tracey said, it's a small price to pay.

You're not crazy,,it's actually a good thing to not care about the scales but most of us do unfortunately. Weigh yourself when you feel it's time for you to so that you can see the great progress you are making. That will help keep you on track and pushing towards your goal. If you feel you only need to weigh at your dr appts, then by all means,,that's what I'd do.

Glad you are ok and it wasn't something more serious. Hope you have a quick recovery!

I've gotta try this,,thanks for posting!

Looks delicious!

We have the same start weight and almost the same weight now,,it's taken me twice as long.lol You look great..congrats on your success!

You're very talented! They're beautiful

A new group if any of you would like to join,,here's the link. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/groups/show/162-sleevers-with-special-needs-childrenf/

It was suggested to me that I request a seperate forum specifically for parents and family members with special needs kids. I made the request and so I hope to hear something soon.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Cat. I made the request and hope it works out. I like including family members too

Good on you for reporting that,,,that was soooo mean!!!! What nerve!

I had no idea I could do that.
