Ms skinniness

You will do great! Remember, we really don't need as much food as we were eating before this surgery and your health will improve 10 fold! CONGRATS! I live my Chocolate Premier High Protein shakes! Can't wait for you to Rock your sleeve!

You are in my thoughts and prayers! Can't wait for you to join us on the BIG LOSER's BENCH!

Nice! I have serenity now and am very happy! I eat protein, protein, protein, and veggies.

Are you taking a PPI (nexium, omeprazole, pepcid)? The chili was probably spicy for your stomach at this point. Call your surgeon's office and ask them if you can take a PPI. It will pass.

Disneytech is totally right! To be successful, each of us works hard to accomplish our goals.

Sending healing energy your way with God's speed!

Gosh, I would have been so angry at that point. But, it just wasn't your time. Hopefully, they will give you the first appointment in the AM when you are rescheduled. It''s early but at least your the first one and the surgeon is totally fresh.

Hope they can do the revision at the same time as removing the band. Less trauma for your body to go through! Good luck and hope your sleeved soon.

I tell everyone! The people that give me flack are people that are insecure about themselves and are very judgemental people. They can have it, but at least I have planted a seed to help them think outside the box. Especially when they see my bod now. This is a great transformation. My best friend told me she couldn't handle my "skinniness." So now I've adopted the word "skinniness." I love my skinniness! LOL

LOL! That is the cheapest pizza and crazy bread you've ever had!

Thanks Tammy ~ You are absolutely right. I needed to hear that bc this FAD isn't working anyways. I'm going to focus from here on out on eating my proteins, veggies, and a little bit of carbs. That is really all I need to do. I have noticed that you have and continue to do a great job and will make a great spokes person for wls! Thank you so much! xoxoxoxo Dorrie

MamaM ~ I am a little confused. Do you have the Lap band or the vertical sleeve? Just curious. [

I have just started to do that! So now I have been avoiding the snacks. I've told my kids to keep them in their rooms or I will throw them away! I tried to start The Basic Bootcamp diet yesturday but failed. So today I am doing the liquid diet thing. Yes, that's liquids all day long. I will have 3 Premier's and some chicken tortilla soup with no torilla's and just drink the broth! I can do this and will. I want to at least get into the 140's and stay there. My bounce is 2-3 lbs and I'm at 152.2 today, where previous I was at 150.4lbs. I will do this!

You've just begun your journey and it's time to sit back and enjoy the ride. It's only been 7 days and you have lost 10 lbs already! That's totally amazing. You are doing fine, focus your energy on sipping your water and drinking your protein drinks. Don't get in the habit of stepping on the scale every day because every day you body weight fluctuates. This is the normal rhythum of your body. The weight will come off so there's really no need to worry. You are doing great!!

This is a struggle. I take 2 colaces in the evening and try to eat some fiberous veggies.

I would cut portion sizes down a lot and have basically protein and veggies, try to skip the carbs if possible. This will help decrease calories as well as burning body fat. BTW< your stomach will shrink and your liver will decrease in size too. So it helps with a fatty liver.

I use to have a butt, but now it's gone. I actually love it. It does help to work out, but I've been kinda lazy. I did start walking yesturday and today I am going to walk or go to the gym. then later I will ride my recumbant bike. yayyyyy!

I went to the BMI scale on google, looked at the weight and choose 130lbs. Then I realized that I was large boned and so I should up it to 140lbs. For some realize I am a little stubborn here. I don't want to change it. So basically, I'm still trying to lose, but if I don't I won't be devastated. I do love my skinniness!

I only had to do a 1 day pre-opt diet but realized that I really didn't need to eat all the food that I was eating and had cut my portion sizes down to half. It wasn't easy, but it helped with losing some of my weight. You will be able to have Arby's if you choose later on, but in smaller portions. You will make different choices too, like taking the bread off. The protein is what I want, the bread doesn't taste that good anymore. I have passed my surgeon's goal, but my goal has not been met. But I do love my skinniness now! LOL Your thoughts are messing with you. Don't pay attention to them and switch your thinking to how much more energy you will have and how much more healthy you are going to be. Also, how much fun it will be to go shopping and have an abundance of clothes that are so darn cute, you will have a hard time choosing the cutest ones! The NSV's are great!

That is such an honor! Your will be a great inspirational to others and you have also been an inspiration to me also. Thank You for your inspiration! Yahoooooooooooooo!

Yep, I met vitreous humor. Thank you. It's been a long, long time since studying this. lol

I wouldn't worry about it since they're not rushing the surgery. At least they found it and will most likely remove it surgically.

It could have something to do with the aqueous humor being less or perhaps more which can effect the shape of our eyeball.

You are doing great! Keep it up!

My NUT told us to drink Whey protein because it was more absorbable. I love the Premier from Costco and/or Sam's club. It's delicious. I also use the Isopure Vanilla for cooking. Delicious.
