You look gorgeous! You were beautiful before but now you look so much younger! Congratulations!

Lmao I was one them before ppl and I will be the same after. But I have gone to the same bux for 8 years they know what I want and make it as soon as I walk in the door lmao it's kind like my own little cheers i get a big hello how's your day and so on

I dont' really get the 'food funeral' thing - but I have had a few meals that I know I won't have anymore...not 100% sure why I did it, I guess becuase I could....as I certainly won't miss anything about food. I don't get the concept that you can't live without diet soda - or certain foods... please don't flame me - I just don't understand that mindset that food could be a 'friend'. food is food, nothing less and nothing more - to me that is. I just have an issue with finishing my plate....or eating a whole burger when 1/3 of it would just be fine - because I can - not because I crave it.
thank goodness I had the 6 months or prep time for this surgery - as I started incorporting these eating behaviors in advance so I hope i don't struggle after the surgery.

Its official!! Im not crazy, he cleared me psychologically.

Now 250 5'6 want to be 150

I started my 10 day pre-op diet yesterday...Please pray I don't kill anyone in the next couple of weeks!! LOL...it is SO boring.........

I just think they should ask where the person wants to sit. I've never had a problem with booths, even at my heaviest and to automatically assume that since someone is large they need a table could be seen as offensive as well. I prefer booths for the privacy.

@ Liz & others:
Jeez we have some toxic friends huh!?
My other half is a hot piece of tail, lol, but if he let someone talk that way about me (he'd never dare!!!) I'd dump his ass after I broke his legs and her face!!!!
Like trot McClure says: let's get confident, stupid Mwahaha
And Liz, kick that azzes

Welcome ArtSong! I'm newish too! and this website has been awesome! they have tons of information and help, and it is nice having a place where everyone's stories are kinda like your own

I'm really digging the fitbit pretty cool lol

Ugh! I can't wait to NOT pee myself when I sneeze or cough!

I can't wait to not have a rash under my boobs (or find food in my bra when I take it off)
I can't wait to stop accidentally bleaching the belly line of my shirts when I clean the kitchen counters
Ahh, not holding my breath to put on a shoe.
To not have little kids tell me I must be a good cook because I'm fat (actually happened)
TMI but to not fear crushing my hubby during 'adult activities'
And this is a big one for me: to NOT make fun of myself before someone else can.

Looking umm down and seeing something other then my boobs or 1st and 2nd tummy roll
Running down steps and not worrying that I'll set off a 5.0 quake
Not making that sound when I get up out of a chair
And not to forget that clapping sound that happens when I move fast and it's not my hands yeah never hearing that again will be nice lol

Taste like a melted vanilla shake. A little ice, almond milk and blend!

My hubby owns this its kind wow to watch lol
I have the slim in six I love that one it's not to hard to do I'm not sleeved yet so when my knee is not giving me hell I do it

Wishing you all the best

I had to quit 1 month prior to surgery. The E.cig helped trmendously. I was more of a hand to mouth addict, hence my weight issue, everyone is different. I think you just really have to set your mind to it. This surgery was a huge motivator. Good luck

Day 4 post op now. Cold fluids are too painful but warm tea is my best friend. Able to get in 40 of the 60 oz I'm supposed too. Started full liquids today but they caused too much gas pain so I'm backing off a bit. Protein starts day 7. I have the Isopure flavored glass bottles. Thin and easy to get down.

Isopure glass bottled protein! Thin and easy to get down poured over ice.

Ok so I am scheduled for surgery 9.20.12 & I am worried about hairloss, so I bought Biotin 500mcg. Does anyone know how many times a day I should take it or what is recommended for the maximum benefit?
