Well here I am again, not getting on this site too often but I had to let ya'll know I'm am doing okay. Did have a little set back, well more than a little. I gained 10 pounds over the holidays and now I'm struggling to get that off . I don't know why but for some reason I can't seem to get satified food wise. Plus I have some friends that think they are helping me but they aren't. Before the holidays I went from 440 pounds down to 304, now I'm up to 314. I am...

Oh wow, it's been awhile since I've been on here. Sorry, with the new year coming in, I'll try to come on here more often. Well let's see. Had my sleeve 9/24/10 and I've lost 136 pounds. Feeling so much better. Able to get around a little better too. Still have a ways to go to get the rest off me but that sleeve was the best thing I've ever done.

Oh yeah, I love the water aerobic's. It sure is helping me lose my weight. Never knew exercise could be much fun.

Wow, hard to beleive it's been a year since my surgery and I'm doing great. I've lost 115 pounds. I am extremely happy. I saw my Dr and he was also very happy with me. I've still got more weight to go but so far I'm loving it. Everything I have is getting so big on me now. Trying to take things up as much as I can. I sure hope you all are having a great time as I am. Thanks again for all the well wishes.

Wow, it has been awhile since I was on here last. Okay, to get ya'll up to date. I'm not down 108 pounds. My clothes are really baggy on me but not falling off quite yet. Since no one around here has my size in clothes it looks like I'm gonna have to go out and buy some new one's as winter comes on. Back at the end of May I had emergency surgery, had to have two hearn's fixed and my appendix removed. Doing lots better now. Next week I'll be starting water aerobtics.. YEAH!!!!

Now down to 76.6, yeehawwww I finally broke that plateau.... Now maybe I can keep it going down even more..

Hey there Sette, how are you doing? Miss talking to ya, girl. Keep in touch. Deb

Happy Sunday Everyone! Today is pretty good except for the possible change of rain. Boy is it humid here. Still no weight loss per the scale but I can tell the inches are coming off. I'm down to the some of my old clothes I haven't worn in years. My jeans are really baggy, I'm loving this. Life is good and God is great.

Well okay, I thought I'd share the pic I took of myself on my birthday, 2/1/11. After losing 74 pounds, since my surgery on September 24, 2010. Yep, my clothes are getting really baggy, boy thaqt feels really good. Now if I could get it coming off again. I've been at a stand still for about a month now. Not really sure what to do. Any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate.

Oh yeah, I did try some of that Unjury samples. That stuff is pretty good. I might order some more of them, later.

Just wanted to let you all know I'm doing okay. I'm still loving it. I'm still losing but its coming off very slowly. I was really hoping it would come off a little faster, but oh well. I did have a great birthday and so did my parents. My parents is was this month also. First time not to have a some kind of birthday cake. Or even a nice dinner. I got stuck inside because of the weather. The part of Texas I'm in sure was pretty icy. We had some yesterday too. Suppose to war...

Hey I'm back. This month is keeping me busy, sorry I haven't been on here much. I've been cooking and baking. Yes, I have been good too. I weighted myself at my parents house on the 14th and I'm down another 4 pounds. I love this sleeve. Keeping myself busy. Trying not to even think of food and for me thats hard especially at this time of year. I made some of Shelly's fudge, mmmmmmmm those things are wonderful. Sweet but wonderful. Can only have one small piece.. I...

Hi all. Well I"m 10 weeks out now and doing alright. I'll admit, yes, I've kind of eaten a few things I probably shouldn't have but I didn't I'm not beating myself up over it. I get up the next morning and try to remember to eat like I"m suppose too. I'm still keeping my food diary like I"m suppose too. Thats the hard part for me. Being honest on there of what I"m eating, but I do. It's not like anyone else is going to see it but me and my nut....

Hi HollyTx, Just thought I'd check in with you and see how your doing and how things are going with you. If you need someone to talk too, I'll try to help in any way I can.

Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. I will give them a try.

Well been on soft pureed for a little over a week now. I've read a few people's post about some idea's on what I can eat now. I really need more idea's. Refried beans with a little cheese is good but you can't live on it alone, I'm not a big egg eater but it was nice to have a hard boiled egg. I really need to know what I can and can't have right now. Is everything I eat now suppose to really be put in a blender? Any suggestions on different things I can eat, ...

Okay, its starting to get a little better today. Not as hungry. Thanks to my friends who suggested I try eating more yougart, cream soup, etc... I guess thats what I was doing wrong. Still seem to be healing up good too. Oh did I tell ya, it those 5 incisions are all lines up looking like a big smiley on my stomach. lol At least Saturday I can start stage 2, the pureed stuff. All I need now are some good recipes. Please feel free to send me some. Ya'll have a good and wonderful day.

Hi, Just wanted to see how you were doing after your surgery. Hope all went well.

Thank you for responding to me. Yes, I can have the stuff you mentioned. I have cream of chicken soup here now. I feel like I'm going crazy here. Things are starting to taste funny to me now. I tried to drink some decaf coffee this am and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I sure hope that goes away soon too. Thanks again.

Well this is starting my 5th week of being on liquids. I"m hungry and don't know what to do about it. I've tried some baby food and I have to tell ya it's nasty. Yesterday, my mom got me some unflavored whey protein. Now I need to know what to do with it. I"m so confused now. Hungry and confused what a combo.. lol

I could use some friends that have been through this before to ask questions of or just to chat with. Male/Female, I'm not picky. lol Thanks.

Well yesterday went for my two week check up. Was good. Lost 30 pounds. Got check out on my vitamins, so I apparently bought the right stiuff. Thank goodness. It was a good day. So is today. lol

I had the gastric sleeve on Sept 24th. Today is really the first day that I'm wanting real food. I've still got another week to go before I can have the pureed foods. Need a little assistance here.
