  1. Hum. I think see sees it as a challenge to her self worth and to your friendship. She will probably go on a diet... which a few of my friends are doing right now! I wouldn't be too mad, she needs time to get used to the idea!

    Have a Date (again)

    Your going to be just fine! You just take good care of yourself, and if you feel up to it, let us know how you are doing in the hospital!
  11. Now your just feeling sorry for yourself! I got this surgery so I COULD eat anything after surgery. There is very little i can't have to eat....just very little of it! I stay away from coconut and carbonation, and thats about it!
  12. I got a sippy cup and a jogging cup and used a measuring cup to fill them up the first time so I knew how much they held. I figured 3 1/2 sippy cups would do it for the day, minimum. I kept a piece of paper next to the couch, and ticked off every cup I drank. I only had to do this for a couple of weeks, now I just eyeball it.

    regular solid foods afterward

    You know how now, when you eat one too many pieces of pizza? And you feel stuffed but not to the I wanna puke stage? You can eat to that feeling with the sleeve too... its just a whole lot less food and damage done! You will have to get used to how the smaller amount looks on your plate, but in your stomach, a small amount is just right. If you eat more than that, you will stretch your stomach out more, and could puke and have pain, I suppose just like you could with a regular stomach before surgery!

    Scale- friend or foe?

    Every day. I decided to do this from day one, and learn not to go crazy. Mostly I am successful. I write it in a book and add up the pounds lost every week as a kind of long view of whats going on. I also measure every couple of weeks to see whats up there. I also write down what I eat and keep track of calories, carbs and protein. I really try not to be obsessive, and really I don't like to keep track, but it helps with accountability. People who keep track have a better chance of keeping it off long term, so Im doing it for that reason.
  15. Hi peeps! Jan 18th, 51 pounds. I log everything, am a vegetarian and workout 5 days a week. (dance classes and walking mostly) Last month I lost 7 pounds... down from 10 a month... but as long as it keeps going in the right direction, Im OK with that! I'm now wearing a 14 pant, soon to be a 12....I just went through the closet, and tried some stuff on... I had a tight black blouse that has transformed into a perfect summer dress! I never would have worn it without pants in the past... today was the day to do that, white legs and all! Even my husband commented that the legs were looking pretty good. Love that sleeve! I think it is pretty interesting that we all are in the same ballpark weight loss wise... congrats girls!
  16. Awesome sister! Looking good. Sometimes you just need to look in a different mirror to see the truth!

    laprascopic surgery?

    Wow! You remember it? I only remember being rolled down the hall towards the room, then out like a light. Someone told me what was going to happen...
  18. That is so great! Congrats to you girl! I didn't start measuring until my big stall started, wish I had done it earlier, but it is cool how the inches drop even if the scales stall.

    Lifetime Fitness?

    I don't know about this gym.. I belong to a rock climbing gym that also holds lots of classes and has weights and such. Its just so nice, and interesting to watch others climbing and tightrope walking and stuff. I mostly just take the classes. There are several in the SF Bay area and surrounds...

    After 5 months

    You had your surgery one week before me... I have lost 51 pounds from surgery, but have more to lose than you. I would love to weight what you do now for my final goal! I would think that you are losing slower now because you are near goal, and also you need to drink your water and get in some more exercise. Even walking and such is good. If you are feeling weak, perhaps you need to have your blood labs done to see if you need to change your vitamin intake... are you getting in your protein? I think you should be able to lose some more, but you need to do the right thing on your end of the deal. Good luck and congratulations on your loss sop far!
  22. I feel the same way! I really thought I was fat the last time I weighed this much, but feel like I look normal now. Crazy head! I have some really small cloths from a long time ago... vintage cocktail dresses and fun stuff... can't wait to get into them again some day!

    laprascopic surgery?

    Dig into this site, it will answer lots of questions you may not have thought of! I have 4 small scars, they did my surgery roboticly! Which is Lap done with a robot. Everyone was in the room, but the surgeon was teaching the technique to students. I don't know about everybody else, but they had me strapped to a board that was vertical during surgery.
