  1. I'm trying to get an idea of where I might be in five months, where are you at now if you started at 300 and are five seven?
  2. Where's the link to the form to fill out?
  3. 25th here, on a roller coaster of emotions!
  4. What is Chico's and why is their 3 a 16? Good for you! I love that your friend and the sales lady were so supportive of you!
  5. That's wonderful! You look so great, good for you!
  6. Or maybe because we aren't drinking as much fluid or eating as much food.
  7. My guess would be our stomachs are so big that taking most of it out is putting less weight on the bladder?
  8. Anyone else have this? When did you notice that it went away? How much did you weigh?
  9. I'm on the 25th too!
  10. I'm supposed to start pre-op diet Tuesday. I am coughing up green stuff and my nose is running, I have body aches and I'm completely fatigued. Has anyone been sick this close to surgery? I don't know if I can handle the liquid diet while I'm already feeling bad. Do you think they will want to postpone? I really hope not.
  11. The pics aren't showing up on my iPhone. ????
  12. I'm 5,7" and I was pretty comfortable at 200 too. Good luck and I hope you are able to conceive again!
  13. Good for you! Good luck!!!!
  14. How tall are you? You never know. You might find yourself feeling so good and healthy that you do want to lose more. You can always do weights to gain muscle too. It seems like it's really not that hard to gain the weight back, so if you do lose more than you like, over time you would be able to get back to where you want to be.
  15. Well good lord that's a full time job. I didn't even have to do it that much when I actually had pneumonia and was hospitalized.
  16. How did it go with Dr Minkin?
  17. Did anyone get an incentive spirometer to prevent pneumonia? Our nurse said we are supposed to do it ten times an hour for two weeks! I think that's kind if crazy.
  18. We had a preop class at the surgeons office and I asked the dietician if she had heard that insurance covers Protein drinks. She actually laughed at me like I was crazy. I have UHC choice plus but I am not getting my hope up because they made me appeal three times to get approved for surgery!
  19. Hey if you could lose weight that way you wouldn't need surgery right? Some people bodies go into starvation mode, I wouldn't worry.
  20. I'm on the 25th and feeling schizo! It's a roller coaster every day. I go from euphoria to tears. My poor husband. I'm taking three weeks off. My job is sedentary, but extremely stressful.
  21. I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen. You look great woman! What was your start weight?
  22. I'm on the 25th. Had my EKG and blood draw today. Found out my surgery is at 12:30 which means I will go 12 hours with no food or water. I don't get that. I know I'm going to be a crabby bitch because when I had my endoscopy I was so thirsty. We had a preop class where she told us we basically have to get up and walk around once an hour except if we are asleep. I'm emotionally exhausted. I start liquid diet Tuesday. I tried Bari Advantsge and Injury and liked them both. I might just get some of each kind to keep from getting burned out on it.
  23. Just saw an ad for this, you pay a monthly fee and rent clothes and can return them for free. It's like netflix for plus size clothes. I'm thinking I might try it out to get me through until I'm down below a size ten. Has anyone tried it?
  24. I'm 5'7 I'm the same height but I never looked like that at 180!
