    Turkey Chili.

    One of my favorites! Although we call it Dead Bird Tomato Soup...lol. :-)
  2. I was told after the scabs were gone which was about week 4. I love my baths too and hate showers.
  3. I have been tracking my intake since Dec 1 on myfitnesspal. I don't think it's food or milk. But the one pattern I have noticed is that every time this happens I lose about 2-3 lbs. I just wonder if it's something my body is doing now.
  4. So my weight-loss is going well. But for 2-days every 2nd week I feel badly. Yesterday was a prime example. I struggled to get my Protein and fluids in. I had no cravenings or want for food. Yet all day I felt like I was bubbling in my sleeve. And at one point I just cried because I felt so badly. I'm taking medince for gas, but it just doesn't seem to work for those two days. Today I'm fine. I'm just wondering if this will continue on the journey of feeling fine 98% of the time and then crappy for 2% of the time.
  5. I started my journey the beinging of last year. I'm 5'7'' and I weighted 310 lbs. I wore a 24 in pants and a 3x in shirts. I am just 5 weeks post-op and weight 238 and have dropped my pant size to a 20 and my tops to a 1x. I can wear 18 pants, but they are tight in the waist.
  6. I've taken 6-weeks off. I don't return to work until 1/30. I'm glad I did. There are times I'm so beat I just nap.
  7. It's the only one I could handle after many trys of other product. I tell everyone about them...even my friends that haven't had surgery.
  8. Good Luck, and see you on the other side!
  9. Removed 1/4 of my clothes because they are too big!

  10. Great Job! Congrats on your transformation!
  11. Yesterday was my 1-month post dr visit. They were pleased with my results 28% of my body fat is gone and my BMI is 38.6! YAY!!! I am finally allowed to exercise...another big YAY! I asked them what my goal weight was...they responded 170. I was kinda shocked because I thought it would be 150. What was your doctor's goal and what is your goal? Mine is 155...I cannot remember when I weighted that; maybe junior high?

    Who Are You?

    Here goes. I'm Michele. I'm 47 and have been married for the last 3-year. I am a transportation analyst for a CPG company. I have 3-step daughters, 2-grandbabies (which are my world since I never had children). And my adoring niece and nephew whom I cherish. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, again my babies. I love to garden, shoot, cook, and remodel my home. I love UT (that's Tennessee not Texas) football, and try to attend at least 1-game a year. I love camping and fishing, and working out. As for my stuggles with weight. I can say it started in my youth. I cannot remember the last time I wore clothes from the women's section...but it's coming! Looking forward to skydiving in the near future and maybe, just maybe a 5K. This is an amazing journey if you practice it. Thank God for mircales.
  13. Mine was 2-week diet of "their" food. Mainly liquid, but some pasta every night. I lost 15lbs during that time. Did I cheat. Yes, brazilian steakhouse, a grilled cheese sandwich, and 2-tablespoose of pulled pork. Mind you, my cheat occured 6-days to 1week before my surgery.

    How Many Stitches?

    I had skin glue and LOVED it. I've been using Bio-Oil to reduce the scaring.

    Give Shrimp A Try

    I'm 4-weels out and started mushies. I'm good with turkey meatballs, ground chicken salad, ground ham and mayo, re-fried beans, and most soup...the exception being cream based. I'll have to try the shimp tomorrow. That sounds good. I've purchased salmon, talapia, and sole too. Thinkinng that fish may be a new friend. I stick to 3 tablespoon, and generally cannot finish that.

    Big Or Small Glass

    Sam's also carries this. It was the ONLY one I could handle. And to me, it taste like chocolate milk. I drink 1/2 for breafast and 1/2 at dinner. A full container is 30g of protein.
