Wow it has been amazing seeing all the progress....congrats December group. I myself start a bariatric support group on July 15th. I just felt compelled to give back in this area.
On a personal note I am doing great and feel great. Due to holiday got the 6th month check up coming soon. The appointment got postponed due to holiday. I am hoping for good test results.

Ok ladies lingerie is more about you feeling beautiful, it accentuates your curves, leaves some to the imagination. Giving maximum time for foreplay, remember that excitement of being on a date. Teasing up to the point of no return. Leave room for the passion, I for one love lingerie, makes a beautiful woman that much more sexy.

Received package and was delighted with the thoughtful gifts I received. She could not have chose any better if she would have known me as best friend.

I am with you ladies on the no interest in food. Does anyone know if that is normal?

Great news and the diabetics of the group will understand this. Went to Dr. today and I am officially off all Meds now and the A1C was 6.9. If I do not lose another pound I have achieved my goal all ready. Even through all of our adversities it is possible to achieve our individual goals through this surgery.

Wow I have just finished catching up on 10 pages of posts and all I can say is bless you all and praying for you. I have missed reading and knowing all that is going on. I am doing okay I guess. Protein still is an issue. I pretty much can eat anything. I have lost 72 lbs since December 4. I have been blessed not to have had many complications. I have recently have been experiencing a headache every time I eat. I am getting to the point to eat seems very nauseating. I have tried changing up foods, going back to the basics but it still happens. I am not sure what to do abut it. Any suggestions would be great.
I am very proud of all of the group! Gen hang in there and know a multitude of prayers are being lifted for your health to be completely restored. Prayers being said for all who are experiencing infection issues of any kind, may the antibiotics do there job and restore you back to good health.
For the new ones in the group welcome and welcome to the losers bench.
I also want to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day!

Congrats Cogburn! Great job.

Congrats!!!

Hello, new here. Had surgery 12-11-12. Have been in & out of hospital but have lost 54lbs to date. Every day is a struggle for me, but finally I feel like things might be looking better. Hopefully if I don't end up in hospital I can start purees in 2 weeks. Yay for me =)!!!!

Down 90 lbs from my highest weight! Surgery was12/05/12

I wish I had some great inspiring words but this has been such a roller coaster for me as well. I'm two months out and like you I'm down 36 pounds. I've been pretty good with everything. I'm tired of no bread or veggies or fruit or salad or a cookie or pizza etc. I wanted a salad soooooo bad yesterday but no I picked two sandwiches a part and gagged the lunch meat down for Protein (I was at a work meeting and traveling). I got so damn upset I couldn't (didn't have room) for a salad I went in the break room and ate part of a brownie. I felt like a freak in the room, no salad??? I guess Better than the whole brownie, it was huge, but felt like crap mentally. WTH. All I can say is one day at a time. You ate the cupcakes. I ate the brownie. We can't pity ourselves. We made this choice to be healthier. We will have slip ups. But overall we are doing well. Hugs!

I was just thinking about some of this the past couple of days. Don't you wish there was a study somewhere that said if you take "these" Vitamins you blood work will "be" or if you do liquids for so many weeks your long term success will "be" or this doctor's rules have such and such success. It just seems that there is no way any of us could be WLS experts when the experts don't even agree on what is what. Confuses the heck out of me some days. I just try every day to do the best I can, and I am sure I am getting some things wrong and some things right. But heck if I am sure what. The vitamins really confuse me. Why would one doc say take two flintstone completes that you can pick up at any store, and another say it has to be a bariatric kind that you have to take three or four times a day plus other supplements that you order online and costs a fortune. Can't they agree on something and keep it simple for us and yet keep us healthy? that is all I want to be is healthy. I know that we are all going to lose at different rates, have different pain levels or tolerances and some of us will have complications. I am just talking the basics here. I wish there were basics that they all agreed on, and then of course it would be somewhat different with patients as they tolerate things ect. Just boggles my mind some times. I appreciate every single one of you and your experiences and your advice and you encouragement. I hope I have never ever came across as an "expert" I just try to give encouragement where I can and answer a question that maybe i know the answer to. Hugs to you all, and thank you for traveling with me
