Thanks, proudgrammy. I guess my update came out sounding wrong. It was meant to be a celebration. :-)

Our slogan is: "When you want to be alone, but not really."

I only stalk by appointment, cheap hourly rates, great service, money back guarantee. :-)

What a great NSV!! I've got an old ragged robe that wraps 1 1/2 times around me now. I keep it as a trophy! :-)

No, BM's are not cardio! They are strength training! After all, you are straining. :-P

As long as you feel good, eat right, and stay hydrated, I don't think so.

I'll have to add that to my Gratitude List too. I remember seeing the movie Lawrence of Arabia and at one point Lawrence was eating a meal out of a tin that looked to be the size of a shoe polish container, and I thought, "no one can eat so little and be satisfied". And now, that's my normal meal size too! Who'd thunk it! :-P

Thank you, Elizabeth.

Thanks, I'm hoping to pay it forward with my videos.

1 cup - Pork Loin/shrimp gumbo with a tiny amount of rice and 5 tsp of potato salad - courtesy of my mom. :-P

And don't forget to keep your heart rate in the "burn" zone.

It depends on how many reps and sets you do!!! :-P

Only 7? They took 9 from me! Twice! I guess I got the bonus plan. :-P

Congrats on having a great recovery.

Wecome aboard. Are you scheduled for surgery or in the research phase?

Congratualtions, sounds like you are doing great! :-)

Fantastic NSV! Good for you.

Congrats on making it to the other side! Hope you are feeling good. Stick with your dietary guidelines and exercise plan. And stay confident in your sleeve. It will work if you do. :-)

Good luck with surgery. Here's a thread you might find useful - http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/323470-dr-sergio-quinones-vs-dr-alejandro-lopez/

Nervous/excited? I remember my countdown. I couldn't believe it was really gonna happen.

Congrats!!! :-) Hope to hear more of your NSV moments.

Congratulations. Have you set your next mini goal?

Congrats on your NSV! :-) I too was sooo happy the 1st time I could cross my legs without having to pick up my leg with my hand! :-P

I've been drinking Crystal Light lemonade for over 10 years. I was drinking it the day I got home from surgery. Never gotten tired of it.

Are you sure they will be open? I showed up one Xmas day only to find out they were closed. :-) And not to be judgmental, but I think every store should be closed on Xmas day. Shouldn't everyone get that day off?
