Thanks everyone!!!! It feels so great to hop on the scale and not cry :-). Who would have ever thought "we" would enjoy getting on the scale!!!

I wanted to be down to 250 by labor day and guess what I am 250 today!!!!

I saw the surgeon yesterday and I am officially down 30 pounds!!! He said he is very happy with my progress and thinks I will continue to do great. Tonight I am going out to dinner with 13 of my favorite girlfriends and I splurged and bought myself a cute new dress :-). I know I will be too small for it soon, but damn it feels good to buy a smaller size!!

The buffalo chicken! Only could eat 1 too, I am 3 weeks out.

Just made these and they are amazing!!! How many do you eat? How far post-op are you? Thanks again!!

Thanks Tina!!!

Thanks!! I love how you add the nutritional info!!

Thanks everyone!!! Wearing it now and feeling fantastic!

I went to Kohl's today to get my boys something and there was a really cute dress on clearance in the "regular" section for $18 and I had a 30% off coupon so I bought it even though it was a XL. I figured I am only 2.5 weeks post op it will fit one day. I just tried it on and it fit!!! The best part when I took it off I saw there was a zipper, I didn't even need it!!!! Now that was a feeling I have been waiting for!!

How do I find someone I know on here? I know her name, but I can't figure out how to search..... Thanks!

I told everyone! I have had the most amazing support ever! I did not want to think of lies or excuses why I can't eat, drink and why I am dropping so much weight. I didn't want people to think I had cancer or something else. You have to make te decision yourself. If people are negative then I know they are not true friends and not worth my time. So far I have not had a single person be negative

I am 16 days post op and I have eaten I Indian food already! I add hot sauce to everything! After 9 days I was moved up to almost a full diet, just no raw veggies or fruit or any red meat. As for traveling, not sure I have take. A 2 hour road trip and did great.

Can everyone post what websites they use for recipes! I am on a regular diet and needs some ideas. Thanks!

Doesn't beer bloat you? I love the smell but am to chicken to even take a sip! I use to drink 8 to 10 beers when I would go out. Maybe 1 day, our block party is in a month so maybe I will splurge then if I have past my losing goal!

I just finished a 8.43 bike ride!! It felt great to get out and do something. I almost burned all the calories I took in today so I am having a double Protein shake before I go to bed. I have lost 6 lbs this week so I am 20 lbs lighter since surgery. I have to go back to work Wednesday so I would love to lose another 7 or 8. Hope everyone is having a great week!
