blerd,, good for you, im happy for you congrats

isn't it the greatest feeling when you can keep buying smaller clothes

rocket, Im down 90 lbs and when i look in the mirror I still see my self as that over 300 lbs person. your mind can play a lot of tricks on you ndext time you look in the mirror look at yourself and say i am losing weight, i look good and i will look better tomorrow..and everyday from now on...

sounds like you are doing well. oh and im glad the girls are ok lol

vanilla shakes good blended with ice and cinnamin, like a milk shake

toler wonderful news, , yes dont drink sip if you drink 2 of those Protein shakes a day thats 60 gm of protein keep up the good work

bubbletoes you are doing so good, keep it up.. isnt it wonderful when you can buy smaller clothes and have so much more energy

ever since my operation i crave cold stuff and mostly ice i am going to try it thanks lady

walking a little every hour helps a lot

yes take it one day at a time.. sounds like you are doing well.. keep up the good work..I'm joining the same gym as you are going too next week . have to kick start my weight lose again.. the gym i was going to just wasn't working for me.. and desert has Water arobics.. so we will see.. the water intake will get easier for you ,right now your stomach is a little swollen, when the swelling goes down it will be easier.. just remember to sip not drink too fast or too much at one time.. i did the wrong thing at the beginning and never forgot again.. felt a lot of pain when i did... thought i was having a heart attack lol Im glad you are doing well

if you are taking pain meds that will make your mouth dry try a popcicle that may help

toler that's good that your hubby is so suportive , and helping you .. you sound like you are doing really well. I'm really happy and glad for you.. now watch the pounds just melt off.. not saying it will be easy but you are on your way.. to a new and healthier life.. just remember the walk and Water,, is the shot glass and timer working?

toler,, yes you made it,, walk as much as you can it will really help. the worse is over and now each day will be better, glad you are home and doing good.. let me know if you need anything

toler, no i didn't have to give my self injections,, they gave them to me in hospital but not at home.. since i had to walk every hr. they said i didn't need them.. they are blood thinners, to kept you from having blood clots..Im not good with needles.. i can give them fine but not take them myself. lol

i didnt have a drain either ,,, and was really glad..
