  1. Thank you and yes that is very nice of her to do. I have already apologize to her and my kids cuz I kno im gonna be grumpy.
  2. Four long hard weeks as I type im tryna get down my first shake and OMG Im gaging im gonna have to doctor these up cuz my stomach cant take it this vanilla shake reminds me to much like milk and I cant drink that it comes rite back up soon as it hits my stomach. I literally have to do the little kids trick plug my nose or hold my breath and get it down, well at least it'll take me a while to drink it.
  3. As tomorrow approaches I feel happy excited, scared, anxious and intimidated all kinds of emotion are running thru me. I start my optifast tomorrow and im so nervous about it. Is it weird that im not scared of having the surgery (probably cuz ive been under the knife about 3 other times), but this liquid diet got me on edge, I guess if I didnt have to cook for my kids I would feel a little better. So I had my last real meal today, it was steak potato and veggies as of 8am tomorrow I will b on the grind with this liquid diet, I kno I will need words of encouragement to get thru. At least I have a friend who had the surgery about 4yrs ago she's willing to go on a liquid diet with me.
  4. Hey baby steps im in akron were r u
  5. That's just down rite wrong, sounds like she's jealous my mom is worried she hasn't really said it but I can tell and she's all the way on the other side of United States. How are you doing since you surgery, I will be praying for you and your family.
  6. Lol im rite there with u my daughter say "why dont we have any pic together" (like my son & I did) I hate being in pic I look crazy
  7. I was thinking the same thing my date is Oct 8th
  8. Cookie got it rite my body was poisoning itself because I could not exhale deep enough because of the pressure from the air, so my doctor switched me to bipap in which when you breathe out the machine kinda releases so you can exhale completely.
  9. Yeah I wasnt a big fan of the port either but im getting the RNY I hope you can figure out which one is best for you, it is a hard decision to make.
  10. I wanted the Lap Band but the two dr I talked to said the rny is a beter opition they both would rather do rny and they saay rny has vetter results. Plus my BMI was not n rage for the lap band. I kno this may sound vain of me but I only wanted the lap band bcuz I thought they still gave you the big cut, I sidnt want to b left with that huge scar.
  11. I wasnt going to tell a lot of ppl including my sister. I ended up telling more ppl than I planned then I told my neice, so I decided to tell my sister what a big mistake that was cuz we ended up in an arguement and the fist thing she says is atleast I dont have to have surgery to loose weight. It's my own fault I should have known better cuz thats the type of person she is and I knew that, but im use to her jabs so I dont let them affect me anymore. Every1 else who I told SEEMS to be supportive, and my 2 kids are very happy for me.
  12. I would love to do yoga but at this point its a stuggle, but that will b a goal of mine come next yr when some of this weight is gone.
  13. I jus came across this guy named Jay Robb on YouTube and he has a website and he sales protein powder I've never tried it because I just came across it but he has a bunch of recipes for protein shakes here is the link if you would like to look at 'em. In the recipes he saying to use his own protein powder but use what you have I'm not saying to go out and buy his anyway here's the link www.jayrobb.com/recipes/protein-sh...
  14. I made a chocolate shake with two cut up frozen bananas and four frozen strawberries, I cant handle milk so I did a 1/2c 2% milk and a 1/2c water, and it was great I couldn't event taste the actual shake. I tried this b4 and it didnt turn out that great cuz I made it a little differently, but this time it was awesome oh yeah I put it in my blender I was going to put ice in it but the frozen fruit had it like a smoothie.
  15. Thats sounds just awful I jope u ladies get well soon.
  16. I agree with u @ times I have to tell myself ur wishkng ur life away when ur wanting future things to happen. I need to jus relax and jus keep my mind focused om all these new habits im tryna get use to.
