  5. I agree with Gaye , I also found my soulmate/true love when I was 14 & at 100 lbs ..... he loved me then and still loved me at 230 .... In october we just celebrated our 23rd anniversary ...... its out there ladies , dont give up , we are all so very worth it

  7. I agree with UTGal 99.....i just made 3 months on dec 17 ....and i am down 42 .. so 35-40 is a good approx , i started at 231
  8. Ok my surgeon told me to get off of my protein shakes for good .... Now I only get 50 -60 grams of protein with food .... According to your doctors advice .... Should I up my protein intake so I can kick start my metabolism ??

  11. Wooo Hooooo Congrats .....Something similar happened to me , my patient advocate was on vacation .... I called and spoke to someone else and I had a date (like you) 10 days from the surgery date and he just told me to immediately start the liquid diet and I only had to do 10 days worth of the liquid diet ....So keep your fingers crossed .....
  12. You look awesome , Congrats
  13. I am taking one multi vitamin and liquid cq10 .... I suffer from calcium kindney stones so my urologist doesnt want me taking calcium.... however went for my blood test and hopefully my surgeon will tell me where im lacking and i will take it from there
  14. I have had no change in my marriage , I have been married 23 yrs and like you , we went out to dinner alot , However I am 2 1/2 months out and just because I eat less I do not let that stop me ... either I order an appitizer or just order a dinner and take most of it home .... However when we go out for drinks I will just order juice or a virgin something or other and babysit that puppy all night ...lol ... however we are still going strong .... Don't worry yourself too much with that ,.where there is a will there is a way
