  3. Hope all these lovely prayers and good thoughts have been received and you are doing better.
  4. Oh dear..... you have been through so much, you have every right to rant.... and then some. I hope you're on the road to recovery now and feeling better. Take good care of yourself
  5. Hi and Welcome! My advise........ do all the stuff they ask of you so they won't have a reason to deny you. Hope all works out and you get your sleeve
  6. OMG.... you girls and guy are cracking me up! Thanks for the honest posts.
  7. I've read that the five day boot camp is a way to re-set your sleeve and help if you think it may have stretched, but haven't seen anything about it helping get solids down. Is it that you can't eat certain foods, or anything that's solid? As long as your healthy........I say whatever you've been doing, since your surgery, is definately working. Ninety pounds since January..... that's amazing!
  8. I have to agree with all the previous posts...... WOW and you look amazing. What a change in only 6 weeks.
  9. No..... you should be going to the doctor.... not work! Take care of yourself. Hope all goes well at the doctor.
  10. So happy for you Congratulations!!!

  12. Hi Beach, I had to start out slow right after surgery too, because I also tired easily. At first I couldn't even walk around the block. The last walk I took was probably 1 1/2 miles..... so I'm improving. However, my favorite exercise is swimming. I get in and make sure I am moving for 30 minutes a day. Hope your stall ends quickly
  13. The first week of my stall I could actually feel myself losing inches and my clothes were fitting different. This past week or so that hasn't happened and I don't feel a difference..... I guess that's when I started being disappointed. I'm trying to keep positive...... and all your posts and good thoughts are helping. I'll let you all know when this stall breaks.
  14. Definately prayers and good wishes going your way! Take care.
  15. Thank you..... you've given me hope.

  17. Thanks for the encouragement..... it does mean a lot to have you cheering me on. Another day, and just weighed...... still stuck at 203. Ugh!!! I did take my measurements before I started and did lose inches last week, but this week I didn't, so..... I guess that really got to me. LOL - I wonder if there's a Guiness World Book record for this?
  18. Surgery 5/4/12 and I lost weight really well until the dreaded stall began 5/19/12 and unfortunately is still going strong. I was 203 on the 19th and this morning I weighed 204.... my lowest was 202. I've been so good, I've followed my diet, I've increased my exercise, I drink my Water, I'm using Fitnesspal and nothing..... except a BIG FAT ZERO!!!! I was so upset yesterday I had a full blown pity party and pouted the whole day!!!! I'm so discouraged and so disappointed
