Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. I feel so loved know you all care!

They have no idea how I got an ulcer and considering my hemoglobin is still dropping a little they have me on medications to decrease my stomach acid and gases and some to coat my stomach. Im pretty dizzy so I'll for sure be here tonight again and possibly tomorrow. They did the edg? (the one with the camera scope down your throat) and they said its not bleeding anymore but there is a clot that I'll probably pass so of I have a few more stools not to worry to much. And they said I can't eat Atkins protine bars anymore (boo) and I have to up my protine to help heal this as well. They also said I'm not eating enough and I'm losing a little too fast which I don't understand because I feel like I'm keeping up with everyone else! Ugh. Here's hoping I'll be out tomorrow

Im back in the damn hospital really hoped that this would happen. Woke up and had dark tarry stool. Right away I knew this wasnt right by anymeans. My regular doctor didn't think much so I went to my bariatric center and the admitted me to te hospital right away. Turns out I have a big ulcer which I can't figure out from what because I don't use alcohol or smoke or take medications. So now I'm back and dehydrated because my nurse unplugged my IV machine and never started me back up.. So I have had half a bag of Fluid all day and alls she said was ops in sorry I just got busy! Now I'm dealing with all sorts of xrap and they took away most liquids for me! I can only have broth lame!!! Oh and they started me on an anxiety medication because all the blood work and needle poking they were doing to me made me feel like I was having a nervous break down and I couldn't stop crying!

Im down 55 pounds since July 23rd. So to treat myself I bought a dress for tonight... And I actually feel great on it! So excited to see where this journey takes me!

Highest weight:330

DOS: 287

Last week: 234

This week: 232

I only lost 2 pounds this week... But I'll take it! Hoping to be in the 220's next week!

Thank you!

I couldn't agree more!

My stomach used to touch my stealing wheel.. Yesterday I just paused for a second while I was sitting in my car cuz I realized how much space there now is between my tummy and the wheel! Was so excited I just had to share!!

Before: 4/27/12 335lbs

Now: 10-2-11 228lbs.

Great job! You look awesome!

My schedule gets crazy sometimes and I don't get a chance to eat.. I know it's bad but I make sure to at least get Water in! Anywho if I don't eat I get really bad pain on my sides! It seriously hurts and makes me want to just lay down with a heat wrap. The minute I eat it goes away and I'm fine! I think this is so weird and just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue! I'm going to my 3 month check up in 2 weeks so I'm going to ask them why that happens because I don't ever feel hungry I just get sever pain when my body needs something.. It kind of sucks! Even when I go to have a bm I don't get a normal sign I just get intense cramping in my lower stomach and I now know that means I need to go... It's so strange!

Oh and I was going to share: for anyone who has a craving for those horribly delicious french fries (lol) target sells a brand called peas of mind.. They make cauliflower or broccoli baked wedges. Only 70 cal a serving 0 fat and they are dairy, egg, and gluten free! I've had the cauliflower ones and they are pretty good! And it gets your veggie serving in!

I'm going to look for the dream fields! I have used whole wheat Pasta and spaghetti squash. I love the squash but to me it still tastes just like squash so it's a little weird with Pasta Sauce but it works!

Yay!!! Congrats Chica! It's such an amazing feeling. Keep up the great work!

I had a super weightloss this week and am very excited with how things are going!

You are gorgeous

Aw thank you very much!!

Thank you ladies! You are all amazing and you all inspire me!!

What a cutie!!! There's a big difference!

Thank you!!

I just bought a Peanut Butter and chocolate one for tomorrow morning! Target had Atkins shakes and bars on sale and if you bought 3 you got a 5 dollar gift car so I'm excited to try the new flavors I got!

I haven't but I'm at target and just found these! 13 grams of protine in a serving. And they are so crunchy!

IDK...I know that Walmart does!

Then I'll be making a pit stop after work! Thanks for the info!!

It is I couldn't be happier to have made this decision! I'm really loving all the new things I can do and my kiddos telling me I'm getting so skinny lol!

Adkins makes a Reece's cup!

Do you know if the sell them at GNC?

Me too! It's the worst at home! I just try to find an alternative to what they are eating. And my cravings were super bad the first few weeks now they have gone away for the most part! Like when my family is stuffing their face with spaghetti (literally stuffing their faces) I just use my spaghetti squash instead of noodles!

I'm a preschool teacher so every year I get my picture taken. I just got mine back today and love the difference I can see in me neck and face! I was so excited and a lot of my co workers complimented me it felt so nice! I still have a long way to go but I'm feeling pretty good today

Oh and for a "treat" people from this app turned my to Quest protine bars! They have some amazing flavors!
