  1. Thanks! down 51 pounds as of today!!
  2. Thanks, I appreciate it!
  3. Yeah I went to the first game after the fight in St Louis. My buddy in the AF is stationed nearby. We all wore " I agree with BP" shirts needless to see we weren't popular with Cards fans Lol. BP hit a HR and Reds won it was awesome! Some guy in a wheelchair rolled up to me and told me he was gonna kick my a**! Lol It's the same with Molina here. Reds fans hate him, but IMO he's the best catcher in the game. He's a beast. With that being said I vote for Posey in all star voting because I can't vote for Cardinals players
  4. This morning I walked/jogged my first 5K!! It was even more awesome than I expected it to be. I've never really been a runner. Never in a million years did I think that I would voluntarily run/walk a 5k. But, today I for my butt out there and did it!! The feeling of running through the finish line and seeing my wife and son cheering me on was AWESOME!! I have already signed up for another one!!
  5. For purée I liked chili a lot, refried beans with ff sour cream, cheese, salsa, I did meatballs with spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce/cheese of your choice, then there's easy things that are already purée consistency applesauce, mashed potatoes, Greek yogurt, ff pudding, protein shakes. Good luck!! You can purée almost anything.
  6. Wow! You look great! awesome job!
  7. Great job on the no pop (sorry it's pop in Ohio ) I drink an average of 10-12 cups so water daily, sometimes even more so I know all about going to the bathroom frequently
  8. These kinds of posts NEVER get old! Great job!! You look great, keep it up!
  9. I agree with CG. Sip sip sip and then sip again!! Keep a water with you at all times. I had trouble getting all of mine in and now at 4 weeks post-op I drink an average of 10-12 cups a day. You will be able to drink a lot of water again, but for now sip away and SF popsicles help too! Congrats on your surgery! You will do great! Stay hydrated!!!
  10. Call your doc! I was having problems with being lightheaded/dizzy at times. They check my BP and it was 98/60! We monitored it and took me off of the BP medicine and I have had no problems since then. But, I would call your doc right away! It could be a number of things and he is much more qualified than we are good luck!!!
  11. Lol this is hilarious!! They shaved my stomach and up toward my chest. I told my wife "it took me 28 years to grow those 10 chest hairs and they shaved them all off!" LOL I'm the exact opposite of you
  12. Awesome!! Great loss!!
  13. My wife plays the just dance games with my son. She will be drenched in sweat after playing for an hour or so! Hope you find some good games!
  14. You are not selfish at all. Ask your husband how he would feel in ten years sitting on that patio ALONE because you have some VERY serious health problem that could easily take your life (God forbid). I paid 13,000 out of pocket. Surgery was only a month ago but so far it's been worth every penny. I have lost exactly 50 pounds since I called and set up my consultation. I exercise 6 days a week, running/walking my first 5k on Saturday, taken off of blood pressure meds!! I know that you are married but I would do it even without his support. This is YOUR life. You only get ONE. Good luck with whatever you choose. P.S. your husband needs to get his head out of his a**!!
  15. Great job!! You look 20 years younger!!!
  16. Wow!! You look great!! I'm sure that you hear that all the time
