congrats to both of you...

I fell of the wagon and ate 4 small packs of skittles...

That IS something to think about when you're having "head hunger"...

congrats to your husband. Good luck to him...

I originally was going to have the lap-band surgery but changed to sleeve 45min before the surgery, (at my surgeons advice), i'm glad I did. Glad to hear you're doing well, and congratulations. You'll love the sleeve...

My heating pad was my best friend post-op, helped with the gas pains tremendously. This thread has been posted in the past and has many posts, just enter it in search for more info about what to take with you. Good luck!

You've come a long way! Enjoyed your blogs! Youre doing great!

I also read it can delay healing and promote dehydration. I also drank it from day one because I didn't know this until I was about a month out.

I got my reward a little bit before goal as well, I got a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle from my husband. I learn to ride it this weekend!!! Congratulations to you, your pendant is absolutely gorgeous!

Congratulations! you're doing great!!!

Sounds like you're doing awesome! Glad you feel well, and congratulations!!!

I would get something for nausea and go back to clear liquids, the eggs/pudding may be too much too soon for some...

This is my after pic (so far), have 19 lbs to go to goal...

I was sleeved Aug 28th and have lost 37lbs. Lost pretty slow this past month but now have lost 4 lbs this week! I am very proud of myself and feel great. I'm gradually getting into my old clothes and I am 19 lbs. away from my goal wt. I had originally set my goal for 120 but changed it to 130 I feel that this is a more realistic goal. I'm very small framed so if i get to 120-125 lbs that's great, but i feel 130 is a good stopping point for me. I'll be able to wear ALL of the clothes in my closet at 130lbs. I take my MSF motorcycle riding course this next weekend and get my permit today! I'm so excited. I have a brand new Harley Sportster sitting in the garage that I have never ridden. That is my reward for losing this wt. my husband and I rewarded me this way. I want to be thin , dark, and on the road by this next summer. It will be a dream come true. It could be called a Mid-life Crisis by some i guess. Whatever it is I can't wait to make it come true. I have the boots, the jacket,the helmet (of course, won't ride without it),all I need is to learn to ride it!LOL! Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

Just added pics of my 2012 Harley Sportster 72 to an album...Please take a look and tell me what you think. I take my MSF course this weekend and get my permit today (Hopefully)...Then I can start practice riding, hopefully be ready by next summer!!! Really looking forward to the motorcycle course this weekend....

Congratulations on your surgery, hope you're feeling well!

Want to hit 145 by thanksgiving...

3 days after surgery I travelled from mexico to Ky. I felt pretty tired, but was able to do most things in 1 wk...

Caffeine decreases the bloodflow to the stomache which is needed for proper healing. I drank coffee immed. after surgery because I wasn't told not to. I read somewhere that it can delay healing of stomache...

If you'll put the cap in the middle of some applesauce and take a bite of it it will go right down, then follow with plenty of water.... I'm a nurse and we use applesauce for people who have trouble swallowing pills of all kinds...

me too, that's a good goal. I've lost 31 lbs since Aug 28th....

you look awesome!
