Welcome to forums ! You will love this one.. many people , many great stories and support. As they all said above.. Call your DR! for sure!

Your body can only absorb I believe it's like 25ish grams of protein at one time. So break that up!

Yes.. walk walk walk.. and banjo! you got it done already.. yay! grats to you all..! welcome to the other side!!

Thanks..! and ya I hope so too.. for many.. they say its a piece of cake.. maybe my port is just a bit more stubborn. I don't know. lol.. and LOL Maddy! thats so funny and cute! Felt like she was trying to make dough with my tummy.. rolling this way and that way. Ay caramba!

Hey amy! I was totally emotional also! It's a Huge life change.. and you know in your heart.. you are saying goodbye to things that have kept you back for so long.. at least that is how it was for me.. Happiness awaits you! Good Luck! and congrats on getting that much closer to freedom!

So I went in today for my 2nd fill.. good lord, I have a hard time each time.. Was poked like 3 times even she was whispering under her breath.. what the heck... " We figured out, my legs werent flat and then that last poke hurt pretty good. But.. no pain no gain? lol.. anyway.. I got 2 more cc's which gives me a total of 4cc's in my 14cc band. I didn't feel anything different last time and this time I can definitely feel a difference. So liquids for today and tomorrow, I'm always scared to eat anything afraid of that stuck feeling I hear about.. **Trains her mind... small bites, small bites** Hope everyone is doing great with theirs .. and happy holidays all.

i eat sandwhiches also.. whole wheat bread.. not to often. I really like the sandwhich rounds.

well said Missy!!

Fantastic Post!! all comes down to.. respect.

**hugs Dee**!

Believe Believe. Have faith in yourself and nothing will stop you! go girl! you have come along way and you will make it to the finishing line!!! p.s. you are to cute and funny! ( insert menacing laugh here ) lol~!

Hang in there..! Patience is tough.. especially when we want to get this darn weight off! Oh.. i feel ya pain! It will come! may be slow.. but surely! good luck hun!

You will get there.. keep staying on the right course. I read so much on here, people going through the same thing and I too have stalled for weeeeks! and I am just 2 months post op! but patience is where it's at. Maybe see a nutritionist if you haven't and see if she can help see any small changes you may need to make that you don't realize. Remember, stress can also stall weight loss.. relax and take some time for yourself, even if its for a short time, breathe and reflect. Good Luck to you hun.. you are always very encouraging to others and I love reading your posts. Keep up the good work!! **HUGS*!

Live!! I love reading this.. and how I and I am sure most others can relate! you got this! and you look great!!

Kick ass! and remember we are all here for each other in every way! I just know this is going to be one of the best years for us! and I could not have made it this far without you all.. that is the honest truth. Much love to all! **hugs**!!!

Good luck all!! I am 2 months post op and I remember ALL the emotions I had right before!! oi! lol.. It is the BEST decision I have ever made! down 37lbs and I feel better than I have in years!! follow your dr. guildlines and remember after surgery.. walk walk walk... it really does help with the gas and pain. It wasn't half as bad as I had prepared myself for.. but that was for me. Congrats on taking your life back!! It's exhilarating!!

lol ya me too!! can't wait! we are all in this together !

does complex carbs such as whole wheat bread etc bad for ones with pcos also? I know I do have some whole wheat products.

You are very INSPIRING! nothing is impossible if you do the work. Congrats on your new found freedom.. it must be bliss!

It will get better!

Thanks all.. youtube.. I'll check that out.. ding dong me didn't even think of youtube.. lol. and omg Kime thats horrible.. !!

I have this sexy little black dress in my closet that I only wore once. A LONG TIME AGO! I refused to get rid of it, and that was always the dress I said I will wear again! Once I fit into that dress and look good in it... I will be one happy as hell chick! When I bought it I was still self conscious in it, looked pretty good but not good enough to feel confident, so I want to look even better in it then I did the last time I wore it.

I just recently bought a bunch of resistance bands.. Not sure exactly how to use them yet.. but I was wondering.. does anyone know any sites where they show you specific routines for specific areas oin your body.? And what all do you think of them compared to actual strength training weights? I am not going to a gym just yet, so thought this may be a good way to build some strength and muscle. Thanks all in advance!

How ya doin Della? I don't live in MN but some support is better than none!
