  1. That is really awesome. Get some pictures up!!!
  2. Okay...silly me but i didnt know they had protein jello...i learn a lot from all of you daily
  3. Good luck..keep us updated
  4. So i met with my doc today. We went over endoscopy results. I have a hernia and he will fix during surgery. I would say two more weeks till surgery. He said i only have to do liquid preop diet for about 3 days...and he just wants me to replace some not all meals with protein drinks. My bmi is 36. I am 36 yrs old..and i am 5 4". I am excitedand nervous. Just mainly because i dont know how long it will take me to recover..and i fear waking up with 85 percent of my stomach gone. I think that cancer patients do this..and yet i am doing it too loose weight.which is also a condition because my quality of life is just not there. I cant even wear skirts because my legs touch and it hurts to walk..and i get sweaty...i tried my size 16 jeans yesterday and they don't fit. I have never gone past a size 16. I see a double chin..and my arms are huge. I can't seem to look good in any clothing. Well hope all goes well. Thanks for listening.
  5. Thank you so much for responding! You made me feel better. This new technology is awesome. It is great to be able to communicate with people about same issues and get fast responses.
  6. My doc just informed me they found it during endoscopy
  7. You look beautiful..what a transformation..you did it!!! And u look great! I am so happy for u.
  8. I haven't seen any threads that talk about this. I think for the most part it is case by case and depends on the couple but ladies and gentlemen..now that you have lost so much weight and look so much better..have things improved with your hubby? Or is he/she just become too jelous?
  9. My endoscopy went well, and i should go for results on the 5th of this month....i am almost ready for surgery and so excited about the journey.
  10. I love reading positive posts like these. I can't wait till I post things like this as well.
  11. May god bless you. Let us know how it goes.
  12. Jlo thank you very much for that wonderful explanation. I habe not had the surgery yet.
