Merry Christmas! I am so thankful that I have a wonderful support from my virtual friends, family and friends. This has been a very blessed year! Thanks to all...

That's Fantastic! Merry Christmas!

This is really scary stuff. We take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. I have been eating some sweets with no repercussions. That scares me, I'm afraid I'm going to stop my weight loss, or worst gain some weight. I'm not sure what sliders are? Can anybody describe what a slider is?

You look really good! Keep up the hard work!

You should check with your doc. Your blood pressure might be lower now and therefore your meds for BP need to be adjusted.

I have a Mirena place before I had my surgery. I am loosing weight fast and don't even know it's in. When they put it in, it felt like cramping but went away quickly, no more problems after that. I love it. No problems with my weight loss.

I did this about 3 weeks, I was so hungry and I automatically took a bite of a trix candy. I chewed it and then spit it out because I got scared about a reaction to the sugar. Nothing happened. LOL

Thanks for the awesome recipe.....

Congrat's! I'm really excited for you. Merry Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

I like to go sample my husband's food. Last night we went to Mimi's and we ordered a steak with baked potato and veggie's. He ordered a ceaser salad and french onion soup, he thought he's not quite sure about sharing yet (he is new at this). But he actually ended up taking 1/2 the steak and 1/2 his potato home. It was fun.... I only eat about 5 bites at the most. Have fun and Merry Christmas.

Wish I could see the pics. They state: No Permission. Anyways, keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!

Wow, you are doing awesome! Miss Diva, I love the new you. I picture you with alot of confidence. You have definitely rocked that sleeve. I can't wait to see myself reach goal. And all us sleevers have done a pretty good job rockin our sleeves. Miss Diva has been a true inspiration to me. Thank to you all and have a Merry Christmas!!!!

That i totally an accomplishment! Welcome to the new you. Sounds like your feeling better about yourself. Keep up the hard work! your worth it... Merry Christmas! LOL

Hope the gatorade helps, if not, please do not hesitate to go to the ER, just in case it is a blood clot. Hopefully it goes alway and you have a wonderful joyful Christmas with your new tummy.

I'm 11 weeks post op. I find that this is the best thing that's ever happened to me or for me. I had a little bit of pain from my incisions and went back to work 1 week after the surgery. I find myself getting hungry around meal time, but I think that might be stomach acid so I started taking prilosec. It's better. I have lost 43.3 lbs since my surgery on Oct 4, 2011. More amazing is that I have lost alot of inches and am now into a medium size clothing and I love it. Still loosing and that's great..... It is life changing! Best decision I have ever made.

Merry Christmas too you too. All of us will be sticking to our New Year's resolution due to the success we've had so far. Love my changes.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Yes, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I know that it's important to learn what's driving us to our emotional eating. A therapist can help you learn coping skills to help with the pit falls that can sabotage us. I like to focus on our automatic negative thoughts that we have to sabotage our success. For example: a common core thought we all have is "I''m not good enough." It can help allieviate our fears and move past them. Anyway's I am so proud of you for all the hard work you've done already! Good Job!

I am so happy for you! Congrats! You are a courageous woman and welcome to the Loser's bench!

The stress you have from watching the scale is horrible. Perhaps you can sit back and enjoy the evolving new you come into the picture. It's fascinating when you put on your slacks in the morning and within 3 hours they're really baggy. LOL. That is rewarding. Scales just make us alot of times. We all have stalls, I just don't notice mine bc I don't look at the scales. Just keep thingking positive thoughts and the weight will drop right off before you know it! LOL

The first 3 weeks I ate yougurt, pudding, and liquids along with my protein shakes. The second 3 weeks I added some fish, flaked, salmon or tuna with a tiny bit of mayo. It was okay. I tried chicken that was really moisted and it was okay, but chicken that was a little dry, wasn't too comfortable.

I love that you are on top of things now. No more cravings and having control of the sweets you munch on. I too have cut my sweets out. It feels really good and I question myself about my weight loss being because of the surgery or the high protein diet I eat. No worries, I don't really care now because I love my weight loss and will keep up because I can't go back. Love the new me. Merry Christmas!

If it is caused by stress, now you have more stress added to it. Hope things get better for you....... Thinking healing thoughts for you.

best wishes on your journey. Can't wait to hear how your surgery went and your weight loss!

Celebrate! I just started my 160's and am totally excited! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy! I'm going to have to buy new cloths because my pants keep sliding down! Happy Holiday!
