  1. So sorry your going through this. Do they understand the cause? Speedy recovery too you!!
  2. My first stall lasted about 3 weeks and it is very frustrating. I started using map my walk and it helped with decreasing my time and increasing my distance walking. Also when you are cleared to lift weight I would highly recommend incorporating them into your work out routine
  3. I get it at wegmans but I believe you can get it at most drug stores and Walmart
  4. It's probably the first of many stalls . Your body is adjusting and will start back to loosing. At four weeks out have you started walking? I would increase my walking by 5 minutes then 10 etc. make sure your getting all your fluids. Your probably on your Protein drinks now so hard to say increase protein. Just follow your plan and it will happen. You should also measure yourself. When I don't loose I measure and alway see a loss in inches.. Good luck we've all been where you are and it will start back up!!!
  5. I just reread my last post... don't you love auto correct on your phone? instead of saying sparked air flowers i meant "buy clothes with sparkles or flowers". It just seemed like those use to be my only options other than yoga pants
  6. I totally understand... I really don't know how to shop small. I was so happy not to have to buy some thing with sparked air flowers... That's what all the bigger clothes were like.. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just happy I had choices. Bought two really cute fitted tops' date=' black walking shorts (not capris) and a really cute robins egg fitted dress with a belt!!!
  7. Bought new clothes... Size 14 misses!! And a new bra 38d!!!! Whew!
  8. Frustrating and good day today... Had to go shopping and bought size 14 regular not woman's 20! Holy crap... It was just hard try to find things cause I'm in between sizes right now... Some 14 to small 16 to big... But got a couple cute things ... Yay!
  9. I'm almost 4 months - get all my Protein take Vitamins and Biotin also use So far so good!
  10. Please be brave. I'm glad you are being admitted. There are people out there who can help you ... You only need to ask. You have a purpose in this world. Be strong and don't give up ever!
  11. My underwear is toooooo BIG!!!!!
  12. HW 260 SW 260 CW 199.2 ... Yay wonderland!!! Surgery date 2/28/13
  13. Hw - high weight Sw- surgery weight Cw- current weight
  14. I tried on ALL my capri's and none of them fit. In fact I can take the off without unzipping or unbuttoning them.. Whew whew! But on that note, I only have yoga pants to wear lol! Secondly, I measured myself today (after the Capri incident) and I've lost 6 inches in 10 days!!
  15. I would go see your doctor or at least call the office... If it's hot it could be infected or maybe a cellulitis
  16. So sorry ... Prayers for you!
  17. You made my day! So happy for you!
  18. I've been getting a deep cleansing/moisturizing facial every four weeks... Made a huge difference.
  19. Happy happy joy joy!!!! I finally hit wonderland 199.2 lbs! I'll take it. Kinda a happy and tearful morning.
  20. I watch my sodium intake but I notice when I do a 5 mile walk I tend to swell up pretty good. I usually remove all rings prior to walking. I don't know why it is. The next day after a long walk I always gain 1-2 lbs. which sucks but then I loose those the day after. I know that doesnt answer your question but I usually try and drink more and that helps push out some of the fluid.
