Wow a long time not talking to your Dad, I'm sorry to hear that. Glad you had a great birthday though!

Call your Dr. not to scare you but when I had a blood clot and it went to my lungs it was a severe stabbing pain under my breast.

I was just thinking of you DeeDee! Congrats on finding your way and I cannot wait to see pictures of your lovely baby soon!

http://fedupwithscho...h.blogspot.com/ btw this is a blog from a teacher at public schooling eating lunches every day at school and blogging about it. I ate school lunch (bought really didnt' eat much of it) with my son for the 9 weeks I assisted his teacher on Tuesdays. The lunches were horrid and they hardly had any time to eat. There wasn't one good item taste or healthwise the entire 9 weeks. Quick btw, the lunches at my son's school were much worse than the ones she blogs about.

That's awesome!

These are some pre-op and 10 weeks out photos. In grey pants I'm at 271.6 down 5lbs preop. In the jeans pictures i'm down 43lbs from 276.6 my high weight before preop diet.

Life is good, live it! You are and you provide such great support and encouraging words on this forum. I'm happy you are here!

I'm sorry girlie! Have you thought of Fredricks of Hollywood? My ex used to say VS is for girls who want to pretend they are virgins Fredricks are for girls who are proud they aren't. LOL

I'm on a stall and I need to lose 16 lbs : / Remember to copy and past the last post's info everyone!

Girl I gained 10 lbs, yes 10 POUNDS from the time I decided on the surgery till I had it. Everyone one of my favorite foods I had and I obviously had a lot of favorites (except red beans n rice ) I wish I wouldn't have because I'd be 10lbs less now but then again I didn't miss anyfoods and I still don't so maybe it helped a little.

Tell them you had something wrong with your stomach and you had surgery and your orders are to go slow with food. It doesnt have to be WLS.

I'd take some PPIs. Sometimes when you have extra acid your body will have you crave food so there is something to absorb some of that. I wouldn't do an OTC drugs, most of thsoe are very bad for your heart.

You are so cute and you look so happy! WTG girlie!

Hello there Octobers, I'm bumping this up to see how December is treating us. I'm losing slooooow. I was quick out of the gate but I'm lucky to be down any if not up on the scale. I go down 3lbs up a pound stall for a week. I wish things would just get moving! Emotionally I feel pretty good. I do feel like once I get skinnier I might try to relive my teen years that I should have had. I really want to go out to a club in some super cute clothes! So how is everyone?

Kick his ass out, that's a quick way to get rid of some dead weight just lying around. JK (maybe) Seriously I'd have a big sit down talking to him. No way would this fly at my house.

I cut out coffee somewhat before surgery but picked up it again after. I only drink maybe 3 cups a week but it has never given me trouble.

Michelle Obama overweight.....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaahahahahahahahaaaaa To say Michelle should stay out of it is to say that Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan shouldn't have encouraged America's children to read they should have just stayed out of it and let Americans decide for themselves if they wanted to learn to read or not. Have you seen what kids eat in lunchrooms across America? Have you seen how little activity they get in and out of school. To say at that anyone turns a blind eye to this and the healthcare/budget problems this will result in is plain STUPID.

What does a day of your eating look like? 50lbs is a lot to lose? What is your starting weight? <<<hugs>>>

I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about YOU both having your first kiss. What an NSV (nonscale victory) that will be!

You look fantastic!

I eat 5x a day if I can 6. Yesterday I had a pretty good day. 1 egg 1/2 ww toast 2oz chashews 1/2 cup roastbeef 3 baked chicken wings cottage cheese (1/2 a cup about) Cashews It seems I have a day of doing well on my protien and then another day where I don't but I get in veggies. You really can't do everything though.

Today I hit 238 which is the lowest I've been in 8 years probably more like 9 in reality. I'm hoping to hit 220 by the new year which will be my lowest weight since High School! <3 my sleeve and this support site!

You are right diva, the main thing is to get back on track. That was always my problem before. One slip up and I would be back downhill with a fury. I'm trying to only weight myself once a day but even that's hard. ONCE A WEEK /faint couldnt' do it I'm leaving for Asheville today so lots of eating out which I do a lot these days anyway but water water water is my chant for this weekend. Thanks for all the support gals! <3

I have always been a shopper too but it was for my kids. I'd go to Hanna Andersson or Gymboree and blow tons of money. Now that I've lost weight I could buy so much for myself if I had the money. It helps we don't have any credit cards except for Lbryant (at least that aren't maxxed out). Last week I went into Torrid and just happened to pick up a hat and put it on. OMG I looked so cute. I couldn't ever wear hats before in my whole life because my face was too fat. The girl at Torrid said, "Wow you wear hats well!" I said, "I know right?" and bought 2. Then went over to payless and tried on all their hats when the sales lady there said the same thing. I sent hubby a pic of me in the dressing room (at Torrid) in a new bra and a couple hats to ask if I could have them. Mostly as flirting but of course he said to buy them all LOL So yeah, I could totally turn into a shopaholic!
