How can he prescribe Synthroid when he doesn't even know if you have a thyroid problem. Maybe you should go to an Endocrinologist and get his option.

Good Luck and keep up the good work!!!!!

6 months of weight watchers is what I submitted. It was very much acceptable.

Didn't the nutritionist give you a pre-op diet plan? Try to get to the gym and do at least 30 mins. of cardio and 30 mins. of weight training. Also if you can avoid carbs, do it. Try to eat mostly protein with some added veggies. That should help you be in shape for Oct. Good Luck!!!!

yes. Make sure you're exercising. Walk and do some weight training. Drink your protein shakes. Try not to have any carbs and just eat protein and veggies. That will help with the muscle mass.

me to. that's when I gain weight.

Keep on them. You have to be a pain in the ass sometimes to get some people moving. Good Luck!!

take two extra strength tylenol. Hopefully it will work for you. Good luck with your surgery on Saturday!!!!

It's 5:07 and I'm think of you. You're an hour into your surgery. Hope all is going well. Congrats on the pre op weight loss. Sending prayers your way. Good Luck and let us know how you're doing.

Good for you. It's so exciting!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!! I just ordered it from Amazon

what is Torani Syrup???

I just came out of a stall that I was in for weeks. Your body is just getting used to the small amounts of food and is making sure you're not trying to starve it. Hang in there, it will start moving soon.

My only regret is that I didn't do it much sooner!!!!!

At 7 to 10 days out I was on mostly protein shakes. At least four of my meals were protein shakes, one would be soup (pureed) and one would be yogurt or pudding.

your welcome!!!!

you look great!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

I was obsessed over the scale. I was weighing myself 5 to 6 times a day. My doctor told me he was going to recommend psychotherapy for me if I didn't stop. It was becoming and OCD. Now I weigh myself once a day. I'm hoping to progress to only once a week. So I think not worrying about the scale is okay.

OA is Overeaters Annonymous. Is is based on the 12 step program. Not necessarily based around God as much as it is a "higher power". A higher power for some people can be the universe or for some a door knob. The point is that you believe their is someone or something out there that you can turn control over to. 12 Step programs are not for everyone, but you should give it a try to see if it's for you.

you can eat deli meats like turkey and chicken breast, low sodium ham, american and munster cheese. Mashed potatoes, soup, pudding, yogurt, ricotta, cottage cheese.

Thank you!!!

Can we vote more than once?

I had the same thing but I waiting for my post op visit and let the doctor cut it.

I never thought about the 1%. I had my eye on the prize the whole time. What I'd look like a year from surgery. I'm 5 weeks out, down 31 lbs. and people are constantly telling me how good I look and they definitely see the weight coming off. that feels great. I want to be thin with every part of my being so the 1% wasn't even in the picture. Go for it. Nothing will go wrong and if it does, the doctors will fix it. Good Luck

Great Video. You are such an inspiration!!! I hope I can do as well as you. You're beautiful. Congratulations on all the hard work!!
