Me too!!! Do it together!! It will be way m ore fun!!!:thumbup1:

Woo Hoo!!! You are doing FANTASTIC!!! Good Job!!!:thumbup1: I want out of the 170's so badly!!

Hi Tiffy! I think we all need to find our own path and what works for us as individuals in sleighing our dragons/demons- This website is an invaluable tool to me and I for one will say that you have helped me from day #1 as well as countless others with the journey that we all are on.

I like that:thumbup1: I will give it some thought and post my CPR shortly!

Hi Lan! I too find a great source of comfort in those rooms. I attended CEA How a spin off of OA and actually lost 70lbs by following that program. I never could find my way back to the program and thats why I chose WLS first with the band - and when it slipped and I had to have an emergency removal- I swore to myself that I would go back to the program- I didnt - couldnt and then about a year later after gaining almost 100 lbs back I opted for VSG. I am thrilled with my sleeve and I have absolutley no regrets- anymore (I did the first month out) I will say that I have thought about going to a meeting for the support though. I wish there was a 12 step group for Post WLS people?

I was in Vegas @ a Trade Show. Its an annual event for us with work. I will tell you that usually this is PARTY CITY for all of us. WHEW!!! what Tiffy says about it hitting you hard and fast is not an understatement!!! I learned my lesson and most likely I am done with drinking. YUCK!!

Well it seems that we are all right about the same place. That is really cool. Thanks for posting everyone!!

Just wondering who had surgery around the same time that I did and how much weight you had lost as well as how you were doing in general.

Thanks Ladies! Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to try my best to make healthy choices. = -)

I have not been making healthy choices lately. I dont drink enough water and I seriously ate an entire hagendaz sick ice creme today! I felt so sick after eating it. I feel sick with myself for not trying to be healthier,. I went through all this with the intention of losing weight but being healthy too. I feel week in body and spirit.

Tiffy you are so helpful!!!

woo hoo!!! Congratulations!!!! Your wedding sounds absolutley beautiful!!!

bye Lucy!! So sorry Wannalise. I too believe in Doggie Heaven. xo

I can not for the life of me eat eggs!! really frustrates me as I LOVE scrambled eggs with parmesan cheese. I just cant do it though.

Spaz you are not alone. Good for you in making your decision!! I am new to the board myself, but I find the love and support here invaluable! Looking forward to getting to know you!

woo hoo!!! That is Amazing!! Good For YOu!! I bet it feel wonderful!!:scared0::thumbup1:

Congratulations! So happy that you had an easy time of it!! :scared0::thumbup1::thumbup::thumbup:

awww hang in there honey! It sounds like you have a good plan in place! If you decide to go with the DS thats ok too. My mom has the DS- she has had it for 12 years and she is doing fine. She takes vitamins but we all should be taking vitamins right? I am sending you a big hug and lifting you up in prayer. it will be ok no matter what! xo

OK So I am at work and we have this lady that comes by every so often that brings home made mexican food. Tamales, Tortas, and today she had Chili Rellano plates. Anyway...........I bought a cheese tamale. WOW!!! I had 3 bites and also a bite of cottage cheese. I am STUFFED!!!! previously I would have eaten 3 or 4 tamales. Or a HUGE Torta. I LOVE my SLEEVE!!!!

feel better mini! on the up side if you are getting a bug then it means you can most likely eat cod once you are feeling better!!

so glad that I read this. My boss went out fishing and caught a bunch of Trout. I was going to take some home and cook it tonight. Maybe I still will for the kids but I dont think I will be trying it yet.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Too Funny!!!

Hi Mini! I was not sure how to send a private message and I wanted to ask you since you are just one day ahead of me in surgery dates...... are you eating regular food now??? I am still just in mushies and was wondering if it would be alright for me to start eating normal food now. I spoke with a girl that had surgery with me at Jerusalem clinic this morning and she said that she was eating normal foods now. Are you?

Buy the dress!!! I think its not only a GREAT motivator!! But..... its something to keep you inspired. I sometimes get frustrated that I cant eat certain things and it makes me sad. So with a hot little sexy number of a dress to look at every day it keeps my mind in the "positive" and reminds me that this is all so worth it!!! :wink0::crying::ohmy:

Thank you Tiffy. I actually did find out today from the hospital coordinator that I had a size 32 and she said that basically that meant that I had a 4oz stomach and that Dr. Almanza took out 85% of my stomach. It seems hard to believe that my stomach is the size of the 2nd pen on that page. It looked larger when I had the flouroscope ???
