  16. I had my Tj surgery on May 6th, and have yet to tell my Dad...... and I have lost 62 pounds as of this morning.... and he ha yet to notice SO WE ARE EVEN as far as I am concerned!
  17. I would pay for this as well.... needed asap since I am three months out.... but I hate my phone APP.... I need this!
  18. Yes ma'am I will be wanting tomake one for myself.... thank you ever so much!
  19. Wow she is so very young to be getting a sleeve. Teenagers can be that way..... so can adults.... all in all in the end if she does get sleeved and you have gone before her you will be her rock..... you will pave the way. I am glad she will be going through the classes and wish I could have had them.
  20. Free nutritionist. Clothing exchange. Share samples of prepared food options, along with recipe cards for that food.
  21. I was shocked at the amount of pain I felt...... it was horrid.... I took to the bed.... had to have my husband or daughter help me get up..... oh the pain was bad..... took all my drugs... and then some (don't ask)..... but they helped me to sleep, which in turn helped me to feel some better.... food or shakes had no interest for me.... so liquids were the option.... but man oh man..... one day I began to fart for nearly thirty minutes straight, big ones, little ones, quiet ones, loud ones, musical ones, award winning fart-o-rama went down in my bed.... blew the sheet up in the air and it got hung int he ceiling fan... but oh the relief.... as soon as the festival of farts was over.... my pain almost ceased and I could get up on my own..... keep walking maybe like me you just need to fart.
  22. I have one.... they did the surgery ard it...... left ti there.... in the future should I want a tummy tuck (insurance does not cover) I can go in to have the hernia repaired (insurance does cover) and while I am under for a covered procedure have the tummy tuck done at an affordable price....
  23. I have high BP and one of my goals is to come off the meds.... we can and WILL do this!
  24. Okay.... I just love this post, it explains how I felt..... at 50 pounds I was still wearing the same clothing, the only thing loose was the bra (sad to report).... and people were not even commenting on the fact that I had lost 50 pounds.... I was like.... someone please notice, I have been working so hard... and then I lost a few more suddenly my 26/28 were too big (had yardsale made nearly 500.00 off of the plus size clothing, not joking, TRUE STORY made close to 500.00 ) so I went for the 24s, guess what I totally went from 26/28 right to 22 BAM... no stopping at 24 at all, happened in a flash.... hang int here, I am in the niddle of a five day stall now.... but hanging there knowing that my body will, yes it will catch up.
  25. You might want to get your BP checked, I have BP issues and weigh myself everyday, I am on meds.... and I do retain water, I gain 2 to 3 pounds everyday, and somehow magically lose it while I sleep.... if I were ever to gain 5lbs in one day I am to go to the doctor..... but yes everyday up 2 or 3.... and it just idssapates overnight.... where does it go?
  26. I agree, if your insurance will cover then by all means try to use it..... are all of your efforts documented by a Dr. you may be able to fast track it....
  27. Oh yes, I have a pair of white capris at the dry cleaners as we speak.... good NSV!
  28. Hello- So I am seeking encouragement and ideas.... What are your non scale victory goals? Today I wore a belt with a DRESS, woo hoo NSV!!! I am trying to encourage myself.... but need some ideas here is what I have so far.... (I just about 10 weeks out) *get up off of the floor without leaning on furniture or having someone pull my huge butt up MET *wear a pair of shorts and go out in public MET *wear a pair of heels and walk on grass without sinking ALL the way in *cross my legs *ride in airplane without extender MET *get back on top (use your imagination) *tuck a shirt into my jeans *wear a choker necklace *fit into regular boots *buy a bra from a regular store *rock a baby comfortably without them sliding away MET *get out of SUPER Plus sizes MET *get out of plus size department *join a gym MET *walk for at least 30 minutes everyday and increase MET and on-going *get on the other equipment at the gym *fit into my wedding dress again
