  1. congrats to you....another sleeve twin!! June 11th!!! Woot Woot!!!
  2. I'm so looking forward to wearing the suits I bought 3 years ago...I know it sounds corny, and the style my be outdated now ( I bought 2 capri suits) but I can't wait to wear them, I bought them on clearance and when I got them home I could wear them but it was too snug, I was afraid I would pop someone's eye out with a button, lol I imagine I need to be down another 25 pounds before they will remotely fit me again
  3. lol, yeah, I know right! I start mines in 2 weeks....I'm planning to start it a week early in case my students mess me up the last week of school by bringing cupcakes and stuff....lol
  4. yeah, mines is different....I'm doing a 2-week full liquids diet....no foods....4-5 protien shakes, broth, SF popsciles, sf jello...nothing else
  5. I will not miss the slimming, and the band tightening up during and after airplane rides....
  6. HOuston, Texas here!
  7. old navy...they sell plus size clothes online
  8. Although I am a self-pay patient, I do understand your frustration. TLC staff is usually very nice and curtious, but they will not automatically contact you about your test results....four times I had to call them to get my sleep study and my Scope results.....as far as insurance, like I said, I'm self-pay, I wished my insurance would pay.... My suggestion is you see that you will have to stay on top of them....do it...some doctor offices are better than others in processing paperwork, keep calling every 2 to 3 days to check the status....
  9. well if I lose my memory, I hope its the bad stuff... But I think if we keep our Vitamin levels in check, everything will balance out...
  10. Hi, I'm scheduled for June 11th.....finished with everything pre-op, except for my dr. appt....my family asks me am I scared, I tell them I'm more scared about what will happen if I dont get control of my weight than this.... you will be ok, and if you need any questions answered, just ask!
  11. welcome kk23!!
  12. I think there's 3 or 4 of us....
  13. Oh wow, we all have to keep in touch...
  14. wait, do you have to further puree refried beans?? I thought they came in the can smashed up....(sorry never bought them before)
  15. I agree with Annie....call your surgoen and Gyn...she may need to give you a depo shot to get your hormones in check....that happened to me years ago, and I had to get checked out...
  16. PEvette replied to thewinds's topic in The Gals' Room
    Try to stay calm and remind him of what he needs to do.....try your best not to flip because he will only see you yelling at him and not hear what you are telling him what you need him to do... Most times men have to be told things 2 and 3 times before they do it...and you have to tell him exactly what you want him to do....or else you will be upset because he did something wrong... I have lots of men in my family and you have to remind them....multiple times to do something or else it will go in one ear and out the other...
  17. My therapist said that chewing gum or eating peppermints help curb the need to munch....also brushing your teeth after each meal helps too...
  18. I am in a similar situation....my doctor wants me to lose 10 pounds by my surgery date of June 11th....I too have been stuggling since Feburary trying to lose, but I've gained 15 pounds....now with the procedure being 6 weeks away, I'm incorporating more protien drinks into my diet....I drink I protien drink in the morning instead of coffee...and drink 3 more throughout the day, and eating something sensible for dinner.....this is my first day, so I am hopful... Maybe its something you can do as well....
