that is wonderfull. congrats for you and your inches gone!!

yea lee and booklady, you guys are right. i just wish i could at least loose 1-2 pounds per week. something. i have to loose 10 more pounds before next thrusday. seeing the wl doctor and he will fuss at me if i haven't lost 30 more pounds!!!!

well hey just send me your mailing address and i will get them mailed out. send it under a personal message on my message board. i am glad that someone can use them..

well thought i would post to this blog!! i am still at 217 for the past two weeks. how discouraging is this. it is so sad at how little i eat and still don't loose weight!! this is not very fair to a girl who is trying her best to do the right thing and the weight just stays there on the hips and thighs and the belly blubber!!! okay stop babbling laura....

that is great pastorgreg!! hope you continue doing well. you are doing so great. keep up the great work.

well i can't really comment on this either. i am still trying to figure all of this out seeing i am like 2 1/2 months out and not losing weight anymore. i am pretty frustrated because i don't eat hardly anything. it must be what i am eating. i am going to try hard to not eat anything that has carbs in it this week and see what happens. this diet is so frustrating to me because it is almost like i have stopped and believe me this is not where i want to be weight wise. HELPPPPPPPPPP

well congrats on your vsg. glad everything went uneventful for you. also proud of your 27# wl

Omg, that is so funny about your bf woaking the scale and not telling you until you are in the fetal position about to die. That is just like men and boys to hide something as important as that.glad that scale was wrong and the new one was right. You go girl!!!

Wow i will have to try this yogurt. I love yogurt but not the carb count. What flavors do you guys like? I found this brand at a local organic shop in chattanooga, tn. I will let you guys know which ones i like. Thanks,

Wow mini me. You are doing great! Keep up the good work..

my prayers are with you and your family. i know harley will be greatly missed. keep your head up and when the time is right, i bet another one will come into your heart to comfort you. love you girl

no way is that a size 12. oh my i just fainted!!! i love me some cato now for sure. i love the clearance rack for all of my clothes!!

okay tonight after work i went to cato's to try on some clothes. we are going on a trip to gatlinberg, tn with family in march, so i wanted to find some shirts that fit better and was not falling off of the shoulders. this is what i found. walked in the store and looked on the women's size clearance rack. tried on 2 pair of jeans that were an 18W and realized they were too big. so then i went on the regular side of the store and started trying on large and x-large tops. i bought 3 large tops. yes i said large. i have gone from a 3xl to a large!! i also fit into an 18 regular pair of jeans!!! couldn't believe it. that is amazing... good luck to all of you guys. i am still in amazement..:w00t:

oh yes-6# weight loss. how great for you girl. you are doing so well. also glad you are feeling better.

good luck. you will love the sleeve when you have it done. it is the best thing that i have ever done for myself and my family. keep us up dated on your progress.

:cool:if there is anyone that would like some clothes. i have 22/24 shirts and pants if there is anyone interested out there. just let me know i will get them to you. some are barely worn once or twice. thanks, laura

wow, that shake sounds really good. never tried any kind of flax seed. would like too but haven't yet.

my insurance want pay for a ppi either because you can get them otc. so my mom gets them for me on her script. how fair is that for my mom to have get them for me!!!

i was also told to avoid chewing gum because of air, but i have chewed some already. usually chew after just having my meals just in case it is true about the air and filling my tummy up with air. i also suck on peppermints. i would probably just do breath mints for quite some time. give that tummy a chance to heal.

my physician does surgery on people that are at least 35 bmi. so good luck.

well i am almost 12 wks out and my hair was already thin and right now it is just getting thinner. can see my scalp in and conditioner from sally's called nioxin. i was using merells vitamins but my hair dresser suggested the bioxin, she said it works better. will try that. right now it is not coming out by chucks. thinking about getting some extension. even asked my husband what he thought about some dreadlocks for fun!!!!

the pain is no worse than the laposcopys that you had. the same incision as the laps also just in sort of a circular pattern. i used the morphine drip a little but the tordol worked the best for me. good luck and i am sure you will do fine.

i wouldn't have any thought about going home the same day. i went home the day after. what does your physician do about the leak test? good luck if you do decide to go home the same day after the procedure...

:drool5:okay this a yummy Protein drink and you can't even taste the protein supplement!! It comes from bariatriceating.com- 1 1/2 scoops of vanilla protein 1 1/2 cups of Water (if using powder protein) 3 tablespoons sugar free vanilla flavoring 1 tablespoons sugar free vanilla half and half- i used international delight sf vanilla 2 sleeves of crystal light raspberry lemanade mix 6 ice cubes blend all together this is really yummy and tastes so good!!:thumbup1: i bought the strawberry banana smoothie frozen fruit yesterday and am going to make me a smoothie in the am and add vanilla protein to it as my early am Breakfast. i am not getting in enough protein during the day and have been really tired and sluggish during the day. hope this helps the ones that need more flavor to cover up the protein taste. there are quite a few recipes on www.bariatriceating.com if anyone is interested in some new ideas!! good luck girls and gents.
