  1. Don't worry, I'm in the SAME boat. Just keep it up and know that it'll pick back up again.
  2. Protein powder.
  3. Hang in there. Take your pain meds, rest and walk, walk, walk. You'll turn a corner and this will all be a faint memory....like child birth! We're here when ever you need to vent. NOW GO TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS! ....and rest!
  4. Yay! I'm glad you're feeling ok. Hehehe Pecker...I thought only my 4 brothers called it that! When do you head home? How far is home?
  5. Just wait, those dreams will get even better! Sweet Dreams Gulliver!
  6. A huge WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! You are such an inspiration! And you give fantastic advice! Keep pushing and keep the great posts coming. You Rock Sister!
  7. Yes, please keep us posted. I'm so glad you're having a great experience. Be Safe and know we're all thinking and praying for you and your family.
  8. I LOVE sewing! Both my mom and grandma sewed. I didn't take advantage of their knowledge while they were here on this earth, but I have a dear friend who has taught me to quilt and sew. One thing that my Mother did teach me is that I can do whatever I put my mind to!
  9. We have jackrabbits, coyotes, and bobcats here....in the So Cal Desert. Them there Bobcats fetch 3-5,000 per fur in Vegas!
  10. Rest, walk, take your pain meds, walk, rest, have a crazy dream because of the pain meds, walk, drink our liquids, rest....repeat. Keep us update. And Welcome to the club! We're so happy to have you! <3
  11. I'm so glad to see this thread and all the comments. I thought I was doing something wrong. I'd been losing steadily until last Thursday and I'm stuck at the same number. I do go in on Friday for my first fill.
  12. Good Luck! I'll be thinking and praying for you tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. Lots of love!
  13. I'm so sorry! I chose not to tell anyone. Only my husband knows. My kids don't even know. But they are 8 and under. Good luck! I'm sorry you're getting slammed with this.
  14. Congrats! Welcome to the club! Rest and walk, walk, walk
  15. Congrats and welcome to the club! Gt rest and walk, walk, walk!
  16. I had surgery on the 27th of September and I started back on my Jillian Micheals 30 day shred on Monday. I was 11 days post op. I wasn't careful with the ab workouts and I had one incision start to bleed on the second day. I'm trying to be more careful now.
  17. My brother was banded 3 years ago. He's shorter than you by 4 inches, but had the same BMI. He has lost it and kept it off this whole time! He swims every morning with a club swim masters team (m-f) and does team sorting on horse back on the weekends. He also ropes. I know you'll do as great as him!
  18. I'm basically doing it here from home. I'm just following the myfitnesspal guild lines that I worked out with my nutritionist. No matter what eating plan you follow, you must write it down or log it. Seeing it all laid out (like a bank account) will help you see what you need and what you have to work with.
  19. I had my surgery on 9/27. My Steri Strips are not budging. How long did yours stay on?
  20. Wait, i think you're on here...I'm a nerd!
  21. I don't have any current requests. Can you request me again, wallflower?
