  2. Ok am I dreaming this was a wonderful list complete with billing codes and what color tube to use for the draw. Tried searching with no luck. We need to pin one so this question dosent get asked over and over, sorry!
  3. Ok I know someone posted a very comprehensive lab list a few weeks back, but of course I can't find it.... Does anyone have a copy to share?
  4. My ass fits in all those places so much better also! The only problem I'm having with my ass is instead of having junk in my trunk, I now have a Shar-pai butt. It's all wrinkled and saggy, but it does fit in a size 16.....

  6. Sounds like you are in the 3 week stall. It to shall pass! I am a really slow loser, so twenty lbs sounds GREAT! I suggest making sure you chart your weight, mine goes up and down and all over the place. I know I lose slower partially because I was a band to sleeve conversion. I'm eating less, but not a lot less. It's frustrating, but I AM LOSING! Here is a shot of my last 3 mos. Good luck!
  7. Actually I did want everyone to guess. The 3 were all taken the same week at 203. I noticed how much heavier I looked with the frumpy brown big shirt on so I was wanting to see if people guessed the same or different weights. I keep trying to stress to people to not wear their big clothes just because they can.
  8. Opps didn't attach the photo.
  9. So just a little social experiment here.... So at my highest I was around 306, I'm now 203. So how much do you think I weigh in each picture. Left to right, top row and then bottom.
  10. Yep it's what it is!!!! I stair step and I'm slow. Funny thing is the last 2 weeks I kinda blew it and what do you know my weight has started going down with no real help from me. Oh well. Surgery 4/29 HW 306 (before band) Pre-op revision 232 CW 202 I'm 5'5 So 30 lbs down in 5 mos, 104 from highest weight. I'm wearing a 16 bottom, and a medium top!! Feet have stayed the same. I want to be in onederland by the 12th it's our 34th anniversary.
  11. I ask the provider and then sometime call the 1-800 to double check. Can you tell I've been burned once or twice

  13. I think a lot of us revisionists lose slower than the rest because think about it are we eating huge plates of food? Thousands of calories a day? NO we are not. Even if you didn't have good restriction with your band you did have restriction. So in my case instead of 3/4-1 cup of food, I can eat 1/2 a cup. That is a 25-50% reduction, and don't get me wrong that's huge! But nothing compared to others that were eating 2 plates at a sitting! We ARE going to lose slower in most cases. Also some of the excitement is not there of the first time!
  14. Used smooth move in the past with no issues. Something else I have found is that when I consistently have a Greek yogurt just before bed I stay regular also.
  15. Sorry missed this. Yes, I got the sleeve. It will be 5 mos on the 29th. I'm a slow loser, (28lbs) but I think that is a couple of reasons. My body was already used to smaller portions, and also the excitement of your first time is not there. BUT I am losing. How do I describe the difference between the two.... With the band if it was tight I could sometimes use tricks to get the food down into the lower stomach, or slider foods I could just keep eating. Now when I'm full I'm just full. Even with sliders. A couple of months ago I had a piece of cake, with the band it would have just filtered thru and I would/could have eaten the whole piece. With I sleeve I ate 1/4 was stuffed and could not have fit anymore in for hours. Personally I had complications from the band, but after that no problems. Can eat and drink anything, dumped twice once was my fault. At my sisters and didn't realized they had switched to fresh organic whole raw milk. 4 Protein shakes later my body rebelled!!! Lol! Boy those Protein Shakes were good! The other time was a Frapachino at Disneyland, combined with a new medication and a little dehydration. Not a good combo. As you can see there is probably a reason why I lose slow, but I refuse to not live. I still track everything even when I indulge. Good luck!
  16. I'm in the 28-32 camp, different pictures mDe me guess different ages.
