wow!!!

you look awesome!

congrats! wait til you get out of the 190s... it was a struggle for me but maaaan.. it felt good!

dont feel bad. i know exactly how you feel! Im six months post op and have lost 70 pounds but have seen the scale move up a total 7 pounds and am like is this really it?! super frustrating especially when you go into the surgery have high expectations. but just so you know.. you are doing fine. my doctor actually told me i was losing too fast and to try and intake more. 8-10 pounds a month is more than enough. Gives your body a chance to catch up to itself. dont worry. just know, as long as the scale is moving down, no matter how slow, its moving in the right direction!

Thanks Tia! I am a week out and is good -- I think anyway -- to know what is coming so that as it does I have information on the fact that this is normal and will go away so I don't have to worry about it when it comes.
You go girl! We shall see this through it's natural course and be better for it!

high five

Girl! Please! If you can see it, you can do it!! You can do anything that you put your mind to! Dont stop! Push push push! You are young and strongwilled and thats the perfect recipe for success! You got this!

I have to admit the same thoughts have crossed my mind and when I start to worry about it I just remember that I already have a plan in place to do something about it and then it's just taking it one day at a time. I already have some apps and stuff on my phone to help me with my workouts and keeping track of my eating and as long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to I'm going to do my best not to worry about the end result. Make small goals along the way and I'm sure that will help as well. You got it girl:-)

I think we all worry about it-but it is the doing that ends the worrying. You are doing so enjoy the ride. It is reinvent yourself time :-) !

So I got the shakes! They are good... But last night was a complete fail. My mom didn't know my pre-op had officially started and she brought home Chili's takeout. I couldn't resist the big mouth bites and southwestern egg rolls. So pre op started today! 1 little day isn't so bad?

Shut the front door! $4? I'll be at Walmart right after work! Do you know how many g of protein are in each shake?

I'm dying here. I went to Rite Aid on my break, bought a shaker bottle, and a 4 pack of EAS myoplex carb sensitive protein shakes. They have 25g of protein so the 4 pack should last me for today right? I have a 5 lb tub of whey protein at home that I completely forgot this morning so I guess I'll be using that until surgery day.. these shakes are expensive. I have my handy dandy Jack Lananine Power Juicer so I'll go in on a few vegetable juices over the next few weeks or so.. only thing with juicing is that you go through soooo many vegetables at once.

I know exactly what you mean. My nutritionist is the one who said to do the 2 week liquid diet. It was confliction info so finally when I spoke to the office they said go ahead and do the 2 week liquid diet. I guess that just means more pounds shed before d day.. Good luck to you on the 13th. I was originally scheduled for that day but it conflicted with my finals. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Thank you guys.. Now i can focus on finals next.. the nervousness is kicking in!
