    Pills

    Yes! Not just the pull size but Dr and Meds in general. I'm having a problem with my knee, but trying to keep exercising. I went to the orthopedic Dr and he put me on Celebrex. It did not go down well, I kept trying to take it but went in for a follow up with gastric sleeve PA and she freaked. She said Celebrex is so harsh on the stomach. I talk to the pharmacy and they made several suggestion of creams, when I told the orthopedic Dt he said she didn't know just keep taking the Celebrex, I don't go to him anymore but I still have no relief for my knee. I think most Dr do not understand our surgery!
  4. My girls! Lol don't look to bad. Nothing is where it was five years ago! I do arm weights during commercials when watching TV. I try to stay high protein. 70 grams of protein less then 35 grams of carbs and around 900 cal. Some days I go over. If I have a bad few days, ill go back on the protein shake and drink only that for a few days to get the weight coming off again. It is getting harder to loose now. The only thing I have given up entirely is carbonated drinks. No bubbles for this girl! I also have great support from my husband and daughter. I truly believe this is the secret to success! Good luck to everyone and thanks for the compliments! I feel great!!!!
  5. Thanks so much! I do feel great! Ten years younger at least. I'm not at goal yet, 15lbs to go. I'm coming up on one year and I'm working hard to get to goal. I started at 251 now at 165. I have went from a 42DD bra size to a 36C and I love it. It's great to be able to buy a pretty bra! It his I'd the best thing I've ever done! I'm happy if I don't loose another lb!

    Still working on it!

    I have to honest. I'm doing very little exercise. I walk my dogs and work on my feet all day but that's about it. I know I need to do more. I do track my food on Livestrong app and that really helps. I stay between 900 and 1200 calories a day. I eat a lot of protein and mushroom. Blueberries are my favorite snack.

    10 months happy (pictures)

    You look amazing!!!
  9. Nine month anniversary! Down 71lbs. The last three months have been very slow. I know I need to exercise more but I can't get motivated!
  10. A bliss doctor is covered which means you are covered for most complications that may come with surgery. It's insurance. I have three year coverage. Dr Norwood is awesome.
