Tiffy do you have that visual with comparison to the pens you had posted? I would like to take a look at it again and cant seem to find it.

woo hoo!!! way to go Lee!!!

I am so doing this!!! I will weigh once a week and no more than that! I have totally become a slave to the scale and it stinks!!:thumbup1:

I had surgery on Jan 28th and was back to work on Feb 2nd. I really felt wiped out though! I have a desk job and really I never lift anything heavier than my purse. I think if you are able to take at least a week of it would be really helpful to your recovery process. 2 weeks would be better yet!!:thumbup1:

what kinds of things are you eating? ARe you drinking water? I am going to be 4 weeks post op this Thursday and I have lost total 26 lbs. 7 of that was pre op though. Today I had greek yogurt and a half of a banana for bfast cottage cheese and a little bit of Trader Joes brand Vegetarian Chili for lunch Dinner was about a 1/4 baked potato with butter and cheddar cheese I had a yogurt for a snack right now.

I totally agree!! I was soooo super hyper sensitive to smells. I had to walk around the clinic with my hand over my face. I couldnt handle the scent of the cleaning solution that they used over there. so happy that you are on your way home!!:001_tongue:

woo hoo!!! Congratulations!!! :001_smile:

Just was wonering what the cost of the sleeve was with Dr. Acceves? I would love for my daughter to have it. I had mine with Dr. Almanza at Jerusalem medical ctr. While I love the personable care I received with Dr. Almanza and the staff I would rather my daughter was in a Hospital with the ICU as oppose to the surgical ctr of Jerusalem Medical Ctr.

YAY!!!! :thumbup1::thumbup::thumbup1::001_smile::thumbup:

Hy Shyone! I found greek yogurt last night at the grocery store. Yoplait has just come out with one too. I love what Oregon Daisy has suggested with the sugar free syrup and the plain greek yogurt. Thats what I will do next time. I just mainly bought it as the protien is double in them.

SO AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing!! So inspiring!!:thumbup1:

Hi Nikki! Wait! Protien Click Coffee? What is that? I am having a tough time getting all my protien in. I have been told that I should be getting 70gms and let me say I fall way way short. I drink my coffee with equal and sugar free vanilla creamer.

Smokin HOT!! Thanks for sharing!!! What an inspiration you are!!! :thumbup::lol0::thumbup1::001_smile::thumbup:

oh YAY!!! I am so excited. I was reading somewhere on this site that corn chips and tortilla chips were sort of frowned upon. This is a great alternative for the crunch and salt fix!!:001_smile:

You need to send them a bill for your time!! Seriously! I would write out a letter explaining the rude treatment that you received from the office staff and include an invoice for the time they left you to sit and include gas and mileage as well. Send a copy of the letter to the Chief of Staff.

I am on board with the B plan Coffee and Ant Acid. :001_smile:

YUM!!! When can I have them?:001_smile:

Hi Carol! I am in the same boat. I can not stop drinking coffee. I usually have 2 cups a morning. I had surgery on 1-28 and I tried to quit. I actually did ok for the first several days but as soon as I had to go back to work it was on again!! I try to drink a lot of Water but really I dont get a gallon of that down a day either. Please tell me I am not damaging my sleeve. :thumbup1::thumbup:

YAY!!! I am excited for you!!! Woo Hoo!!! :001_smile::thumbup::thumbup1:

Yay!! You are back!!! Let me know how you love your netbook.... have been eyeballing them myself. My laptop weighs a ton!!

Thanks MW Girl!! I still cant believe that I ate so much!!! And you are right I absolutley did pay for it. I was in pain for a while because of it. Measuring from now on!!!:blushing:

I am going to start measuring!! Thanks Everybody!

This is a GREAT idea!!! about the antique store and china butter plates!! I am going to head over to world market tonight. Almost went last night but too tired. I think I will go on the way home from work. Are they pricey?

yep I dont think I would spend the $50 but I am a cheapskate. I am by nature a really fast eater too. I had big big problems when I first got the lap band as I would gulp my food down. I dont really have any suggestions other than maybe take a bite or two and read something then take another bite or two??? Once you get sleeved you will eat slow- you have to. At least I do. I am excited for you shyone!! Please keep me in the loop with your surgery!!! Big Hug!

Thanks Ladies! I know I over did it. I ate over a 1/2 cup in an hour. I was having lunch with a few co workers and talking and not really paying attention and before you know it I had ate the whole cup!! I know better than that!! I feel better now. I actually drank some water and I think that helped to wash it all out of my stomach. I think next time I will just throw them away rather than sit there and look at them and be tempted. Thanks for your support I appreciate it so much!
