AND:)

Thanks you guys! I'll place a weight on there tonight ... didnt think of doing that -- good idea!

Today I weighed and the number came up and I was shocked by the number because it was lower than i thought id be. Then I went and weighed on the other scale in the closet and it was +6 pounds than what the first scale said. 6 pounds mean alot to me as im sure it would for all of you. Is it possible for your scale to weigh you less than you really are? Or which one should I go by??

No I live in college station but moving this month to the waco/austin area ... a smaller town between the two. I wasn't sure about going to support groups but 5weeks in decided it's gunna help me ALOT. Sooo I hope to see you there sometime.

Alright perfect thanks! Ahhh well what do ya know. I looove dr.nick and britney! Your doing really well only having surgery a wk or so ago! Keep it up!! Do you go to Dr.Nick's support group meetings or do you go else where?

I know there's a list of meds that shouldn't be taken after surgery such as --- midol, motrin, and advil. Sooooo my question is ... Are there certain birth control pills that aren't suppose to be taken after surgery? If so, which? Or ladies, .. (if you don't mind me asking) what have you took since having surgery?? Also lately I feel the cold sinus thing going on -- what sorts of cold medicine are safe? Thanks all! xx Mandy

CONGRADS!! I'm so happy for you! I know you will absolutly love it. Only advice is get with a support group that meets up. Most of this is all mental and if you can get past that and work along with your sleeve your set for life! Again sooo happy for you. Make sure to keep everyone posted with your journey to a new happy and wonderful life!

What does everyone do for a living??

Hi:) My name is Mandy and Ive been looking around on this thing since surgery but never posted and thought ooohhh why not!!? Anyways last night I went to this special bariatric cooking class with a special chef that teaches and two nutritionist ladies to answer questions throughout. Last night we had a little taste test for summer grilling and cooking. Had tequilla lime chicken and mango citrus salmon! WAS AMAZING!!! Got the recipes so will for sure need to try them at some point soon! Question is --- Is there anyone in the Austin area that would like to go with? It happens twice a month and the next one is SUSHI! YUM! Would be nice to form a group and enjoy company of fellow wls people. Get together at the class or even outside of class. THE CLASS IS FREE!!!
