Congrats Shine. Keep us all posted. God bless you!

I went through that a few weeks ago. it was fun! My last meal was at Carabbas. That was definately more fun than the crappy shakes I am on now. vanilla. It tastes like chalk. I am sticking to it. Keep drinking Water and that helps.

New NSV.. Daughter has been in the airforce for 6 months. This weekend I drove down to spend time with her. We went shopping at the outlet mall. Same size shopping in the same stores. First for us ever and had a ball!!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Went from a size 26 to a 22 in 5 weeks!!!!!!! Pants I bought but couldnt button or zip were folded with the tags still on and tossed in a corner. Brought them out and they fit. I'm so happy!!!!!
Now I need to be fitted for a new bra. The "girls" are droopy!!!!!

Right before I had my surgery a good friend of mine asked what my goal size was, and I told her a 10. The day I came home from surgery, she came over and had bought me a pair of jeans from Victoria's Secret in size 10. I remember looking at them thinking, "wow, I will never fit in these tiny things".
I wore them today

Went and bought some smaller clothes today. I was a 22 pants and 2-3x shirts pre-op. I still find myself gravitating towards styles for big girls. Well today I bought a shirt in a medium and size 12 jeans. And I looked good! Check out my shoulders! Who knew I even had any?

So I have a wedding to go to in two weeks so I have been hesitant to buy one until last night. It was a size 16 instead of a 24. That's almost ten sizes since January. I can't believe it. Thank God.

46G...cant wait for them to go...

Ok I just had a Hugh non-scale victory
I just completed the first day of c5k
I just cried when I finished because
I have been over weight for over 20 years
And have not even been able to walk without pain
THANK YOU GOD for RNY

I had freaked out a couple of weeks ago when a pair of my size 14 jeans fit. They were tight but buttoned:). Two days ago they were falling off of me. I actually had to check the size because I thought I accidentally put on a pair of my old size 18. Nope they were the size 14:). A couple of months ago getting into those 14s seemed completely unattainable and now they are too big! Wow:). I love this!

Congrats Mz Katie

I am having surgery on the 22nd also. I am excited and a little nervous. I am on a veggie, salad and shake diet until saturday then I am full on shakes provided by the hospital. Can we all communicate with each other and see how we are doing? I wasnt obese all my life I am 53 and started gaining weight at 40. I had lap band in 2009, lost 75 pounds then it slipped and I had it removed last summer. So this has been a long journey. I gained all the weight back when they removed the band. I almost knew I would, I didnt even try, really. No one to blame but me. I did purchase a magic bullet and looking at some of the recipes in the book, they look very tastey. I live in Cincinnati and I would like to lose 100 pounds. How about you? So glad we found each other

Daly, you can have decaffinated iced tea with a sweetner, also crystal lite any flavor is like heaven in your mouth. Stock up on your styrofoam drink cups from the gas station fill one up with ice and crystal lite and you should be good to go! Try it and let us know if it works..

I've been so busyi haven't had time to worry. I've been real good about the 5 day shakes glad to say bye bye. I cheated once at a wedding Saturday night but we won't go there. I'm checking in at 5:30 surgery at 8:00 I'm saying prayers for all of us tonight. I'm bringing the iPad and will check on you guys. Dear lord and Heavenly Father please watch over all of us aug 22 girls as we have this surgery tomorrow. Lord please watch over and guide our physicians to keep us all safe. In Jesus name I pray. amen.

You look amazing. Congratulations on the new you.

Thanks DL Coggins. I received the spreadsheet and learned about some interesting foods I like with lots of protien. I will use you list and maybe add to it later on.

Ammarie, you are a beautiful person and I enjoy your posts. You seem to keep smiling through it all. You have come along way and I look forward to keeping up with you to see your accomplishments. You are going to love the new you.

you look fantastic, a very handsome guy! Congratulations.

I love your response. Well thought out and excellant points. it is sad that someone in need would choose to dismiss an operation that has helped so many because of an article by one. You are an inspiration!!
