Hey girl. How are things going? When is ur 6 month with Dr. Hoehn? Mine is this Wednesday.

Bought a size 10 jeans a couple days ago!!! Haven't worn a 10 in about 12 years.

Good luck Monday! You are in good hands!

Officially halfway to goal today!! Lovin my sleeve!!

How are things going? Pretty good here just busy with all my daughter's recitals and softball. When do you go back to Dr. Hoehn? I go Monday at 1:00. I just need 5 more pounds to be halfway there.

It was good. I ate about 1/3 of it and gave the rest to my daughter. How is everything going? I'm finally beginning to enjoy eating again. I cooked some veggies the other day and hubby smoked me some chicken..it was so good. We are headed back down to LA next week. What kinds of meat do u eat? I find chicken to be about the only meat I can tolerate well.

You're better than me then...I had two rectangles of a real Hershey bar! I think I'm gonna try one of the atkins bars tomorrow and I'll let ya know how it goes.

Are we allowed to eat protein bars, ya think? Like the ones that are mostly just soft stuff inside or the atkins peanut butter cups?

My wedding ring fits again...yippeeeee!

Hey Renee. I'm pretty good. Still having a little trouble getting my fluid in and eating much but it gets a little better each week. I think I just have to accept that I'm gonna be a slow loser, but that's okay as long as I'm losing! How are you? What have you been eating?

So even though the scale isn't going down as fast as I had hoped I can tell a difference in my clothes. I fit into two pair of pants I haven't worn in 2 years and I can put my shirts on straight out of the dryer instead of trying to stretch them out first . I've still got to get my calories and fluids up though and then hopefully the scale will be a little nicer.

the shrimp i marinated in kc masterpeice carribean jerk and the fish just lemon juice, black pepper, little lemon pepper, worchestershire, and tony's. The fish seems to sit a little heavier but the shrimp I had no problems with. I also got a Ninja blender and it's the best thing on earth. I got a bag of sonic ice and I make slushies (sf tropical punch kool-aid is the BEST).

I'm counting the days til we can have fruits and vegetables. Don't really have any great ideas for now. My favorite thing to eat is refried beans mixed with cheese, salsa, touch of sour cream. I've also had some grilled fish and had some grilled shrimp last night that was really good. For breakfast I ground up some sliced turkey and make mini egg muffins with eggs and cheese.

Getting kind of discouraged...haven't lost anything in like 5 days. I've only lost about 12 since surgery so I don't feel worthy of a 2-week stall but hopefully that's all this is. I really hope I haven't done all this for nothing!

Doing pretty good. The only thing I want really bad is a big Sonic coke..lol. I've had an egg, greek yogurt, tuna, and refried beans. How much can you eat at one time? It takes me about all day to take maybe ten tiny bites.

Hey Renee. I am feeling really good. Haven't taken any pain meds since I've been home except for some tylenol cause I'm having some back pain for some reason. I haven't even gotten close to getting my liquids in cause I think my throat is still very swollen. So far today I've only gotten down one atkins shake. So I'm hoping with each day I can get more in before I get dehydrated.

Hey Deb just wanted to say thanks for all the words of encouragement/support!! My big day is tomorrow at 8:30!

Hey Renee just wanted to say that I hope all goes well in the morning and I'll be saying a little prayer for ya. Guess I'll see ya tomorrow!

Freaking out about surgery. I'm only half way through the day and it's been an emotional roller coaster so far. I'm just ready to get tomorrow over with so I can stop worrying about it. Well I'm off to drink my magnesium citrate!

How is it going? I get more nervous by the day!

Just wanted to say hello. I saw you were from Bossier. We just moved from there about one and half years ago. I miss it so much, well except for the heat, humidity, and mosquitos...lol. Hope everything is going well with your sleeve!

Hey I saw you were from Liberty. I am in Smithville. It's hard for me to get over there to the support groups as well. Hopefully your surgery won't be too far out. Maybe we can meet up when we feel better and compare notes and support each other!

Went to see Dr. Hotty Hoehn today. He said all my labs were great and I was good to go. He answered all my questions and put my mind somewhat at ease. One week to go!

Girl I am so hungry too!! I hate having to cook for everybody else too, but I just cook it and then go to the gym while they eat. Hopefully since we're getting a little nicer weather I can get outside instead of sitting in and thinking of food all day. Hang in there..I know we can do it!!

It hasn't been too bad so far. I haven't had any physical hunger just a little head hunger. I have without thinking taken a bite of something a couple times while I've been cooking for everyone else. I can't wait for the day we can eat again! Good luck! When is your pre op with Dr. Hoehn? Mine is the 6th.
