  1. I messed up so bad! I have been eating candy, I have stalled.. It started with those stupid gummy vitamins! That wasn't enough I had to go get the real thing! Halloween came and I have been stealing all my kids snickers! HELP 911 SOMEONE PLEASE!!!
  2. It is nice to meet you as well!
  3. I send out prayers and blessings to you all. I am so so happy today. I am at 220.. I havent seen 220 in so long I just don't know what to do with myself.. I went back on partial fluid diet because I had a hard time getting protien in at all. I took 4 bites and was ready to barf.. I went to the natural Health store (Sprouts) and bought my protien mix that is plant base called Raw Fit.. I get 28grams per scoop.. It taste awesome. and it don't give me the runs.. I also take Supergreens shakes twice a day.. This stuff is just awesome.. I have 3 total shakes a day that gives me 10-18 servings of fruits and vegs. plus all of my viatimins, and protein per day..Then I would have a half of a piece of meat about 2ounces for dinner..Thats all I can eat because I be so full.. Before I was at a stall till I started drinking greens. I love my meat so I won't be going 100% vegan no time soon, but they are on to something great because I have so much more energy,my skin looks great, I feel wonderful and the scale is moving again.. Thank Ya! I pray that this was a blessing to someone..
  4. heck no! You look AMAZING!!! Please tell me what you did to loose 100lbs in five months! I started at 260 now 223 and I would be 2 months post opt next Monday.. My loss is slowing down to about one pound a week. I do not exercise, but I'm FINALY getting my protein in.. I get it from a health food store.. Pure natural protein from vegetables instead of meat.. And the taste is awesome.. Again please tell me, I feel so lost..
  5. Just chew on the ice! And ask for warm broth! Sip on that! When you get home sip on fluids room temperature.. Water is the hardest to get down! Don't panic I promise it gets better! I'm two months out and I only can drink 4 ounces at a time! But I'm excited because I use to only be able to take 4 sips and be done! You will be ok! Congratulations! And welcome to the new you!
  6. I did not strain! I just blended and ate! Or I should say drank! That way I got my Protein and never got bored! !
  7. Yes you can. I blended everything girl..
  8. I know that every woman on here is concerned with hair loss! You don't loose your hair because you are loosing weight. Hair loss comes from protein depletion.. It's our body telling us we are not getting enough protein. It does not matter what ethnic back ground we come from if you do not get your daily protein count in a day your body will start pulling it from other parts of your body such as your hair, nails, skin, and muscles! I encourage everyone to take biotin, as well as a good Hair, nails, and skin vitamin before surgery and after.. Keep your hair in protective styles and don't put any chemicals in your hair such as perms etc.. Personally I keep my hair protected by a sew in, braided underneath with a cap.. My hair is still growing nice and healthy while I'm still loosing weight.. I have loss 31lbs in 6 weeks and my hair has grown 1-2 inches! I hope this has been a blessing to someone!
  9. I am at a stall! Or something! I haven't loss in 5 days! But all in all I am still down 29lbs so that's better than zero! But how long do a stall last?
  10. I felt the same way.. Talk to your surgen, mine took me off of the protien shakes and put me on mush phase early.. But the energy is horriable.. it kind of scare me a little bit. I was wondering if their was something wrong with me. But I was told that it will pass.
  11. Two days ago! So that's about 3 weeks post opt.
  12. I think I'm going to get me some
  13. Girl I saw the video on that! I liked to fainted! And the scary part is that I might have to do something for my arms! I hope not! The only other surgery I want to have is a Brest lift, yea because my girls look liked someone stuck a pin in them and deflated them!
  14. Way to go! I got mine back in five days. Paperwork was submitted 08/01/13. Surgeons office called me with a approval 08/06/13. Scheduling called me 08/12/13 told me to start my two week pre opt diet and get blood work done. And had surgery 08/28/13. So yea hold on to your hat because it starts to move quick from this point! I wish all blessings to you and a speedy recovery!
  15. This was a awesome forum for me because I have heard both the pros and cons.. I am a researcher by nature so before I invest my mind, body, and soul and money into anything I do my research. I know people who have lost with HCG and five years later still have it off! I also know people who tried and failed! I am one who tried and failed not because of the program but because of my willingness to comply to the no sugar part! I know bad me right! I am sleeved and I am going to take a 40day cycle to target my lower body! I look very funny right now! I was sleeved 08/28/13 and a total loss of 28.8lbs but its all the top half! Yes my girls deflated! But not one pound or inch was from the bottom half! The plus is that I don't have any high sweets desire nor can I over eat! Bottom line don't trust no one information but your own! Especially if they never been through it! If you haven't walked through it than there is nothing you can tell me about it!
  16. So are you doing HCG post opt? I was wanting to so I can get reshaped and loose this but!
  17. It worked for thousands of people! And it is not a scam!
