Nothing wrong with you! You dropped the weight of a 3 year old! Holding my soon to be 3 year old who is 32 lbs that's a lot girl! Be happy & proud. From what I've learned the most of this support group we ALL lose at different paces. I'm happy your down 35 lbs and keep doing what your doing, its working! Surgery 7/25/12

Yeah my mom gets it. She has been a great go to for me. She is so encouraging and motivating without even knowing. So I'm grateful to have her:') I can't stop smiling! I couldn't imagine I would feel like this over a #.... A smaller #. Surgery 7/25/12

Kristy- I went shopping last night for cheeses and Greek yogurt. I need to get my snack on my doctor suggests 3 meals a day.... Breakfast being one! I would think the more Protein in the .morning is best... That Dr oz is a smart good looking man! I drank my shake this morning I got it down and my 1/2 yogurt & cheese for breakfast in about hour. Lili- whey protein and skim milk! If you can get them down more power to ya! It's hard & your getting all the protein.... You rock! Surgery 7/25/12

For my birthday at the beginning of the month my mom who everyone by now knows is 2 years post bought me cloths 2 things for every size going down. I was a 28-30 pre surgery and still wearing everything. And she started at size 24 at first I was discouraged... Like really? Jeans that don't give? Ugh..... I pulled them up and OMG they fit. I haven't been this size in who knows when. I don't even remember! I feel like a million bucks right now in jeans. Still have a long way but this is my moment. Sorry had to share! I just called my mom lol HAPPY FRIDAY! Surgery 7/25/12

Trust that it gets better with every day... I would say sore lasted me about a week walking and resting helps. I felt like such a lazy butt I took naps everyday and laid down often. But it was good I healed well and called it "focused on drinking my Water and protein" lol Surgery 7/25/12

I still have the gurgling! It's so annoying! I found I gurgle more when I lay down. It's a joke now when me and hubby are laying down.... How long will it last? Lol Surgery 7/25/12

& welcome! Surgery 7/25/12

Toe in the Water is a great way to look at it. I picked RNY for long term weightloss and faster results. I have heard and read tons of horror stories with lap band and the thought of 2 surgeries one to do it and one to change to RNY because of failure scared me more. Surgery 7/25/12

I haven't experienced this but doesn't mean it out of the ordinary. Did you eat something late that your body didn't wake you up to get rid of? Maybe it just waited for you to wake up. How are you feeling now? Surgery 7/25/12

Olive garden has their never ending pasta right now.... Lol I loved olive garden but happy I dont crave it. I still miss Chinese one day I'm sure I can enjoy something Surgery 7/25/12

I went back at 1 month post... I felt great, and the month was normal thank God no complications. Surgery 7/25/12

Awww my last meal was chicken wings I wish I would had thought of something else I don't miss chicken wings..... I miss Chinese food! Spicy Chinese food:) Enjoy Surgery 7/25/12

Never thought of that! Genius! I can drink while I'm getting ready! You're the best! Tomorrow morning I start! Surgery 7/25/12

I got mine from walmart but got an 8 oz one for GNC. The smaller the cup the more motivated I am to get it all down.... It's only a little! I have to remind myself... The taller ones I think its never ending! Surgery 7/25/12

I'm sorry you are having to go through it all over again. Reassure your hubby and yourself... You are in good hands and you won't be thinking of stitches, staples, or glue whatever your surgeon uses (mine was glue... Totally cool) when your walking walking walking and sipping Water. Relax and do your psych eval and be pumped for your surgery! Surgery 7/25/12

My surgeon uses the stop drinking before and wait after but he says 15-30 min. I was never a breakfast person, and that messes me up now! Im supposed to eat right away when I wake up but I eat like 3 hours later... I need to break this cycle. Thanks for the feedback! Surgery 7/25/12

If I eat when I'm not hungry I get nauseous, and if wait until I'm hungry (bad, I know!) I eat fast and it hurts. I can't find happy medium. Any suggestions? Besides eat slower when your hungry! Lol Surgery 7/25/12

This makes me laugh I always thought my mom was nuts (she's 2 yr post) she is always cold and said its a side effect. I am 9 weeks and haven't experienced this yet. But I can't wait bring it! Better then being a hot mess! Surgery 7/25/12

My mom is 2 year post and her hair grew back I'm nervous too but have hope for skinny with my normal hair Surgery 7/25/12

I cant believe this happened to you. Hopefully you get ahold of your doctor and get back to work. That's horrible:( Surgery 7/25/12

Really? You're just shrinking mami! Congrats Surgery 7/25/12

Gonna check out that app Keep it up you go girl! Surgery 7/25/12

I just started liking Greek yogurt for the non fat and high Protein I kept trying to find one I can tolerate... I found the oikos ones and can actually eat it. I never put them in a shake.... Will have to try Surgery 7/25/12

Thanks for sharing.... That's great! Surgery 7/25/12

I was feeling all the time first month.... I don't know how far out you are but it didn't last long for me. Surgery 7/25/12
