  1. Oh ok. My knees hurt bad also..especially in the cold.
  2. I was a little over a year and a half. I had to have infertility treatments with my daughter and was told it would take a act of god to get preg naturally...well it did and I did a year and a half out while on yasmin birth control. I had my tubes tied during his csection and i regret it.
  3. Don't let it. Enjoy it . Sounds like u need this song also http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Et-ACnr_Oqc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEt-ACnr_Oqc
  4. I remember I was around 3 mos and my daughter came up to me and for the first I'm in my life my lil girls arms went around me. When I think of this it gives me so much encouragment to go on. What was yalls ?
  5. Stay focused and try not to get discouraged. Reach out when u need help. Hang in and stay positive.
  6. Congrats and good luck!!!
  7. Just like everybody else said I'm with them but wanted to add. When you go thru a surgery as significant as we did your body holds on to junk. Like me it was the weirdest thing but I sweated like a pig. I swelled up too and had all this diff sorts of post op things. So once ur body has derided from the anesthsia and all those drugs u should notice a big difference. Patience young grasshopper =)
  8. First u need to take ur patootie to the dollar store buy u 3-4 full length mirrors their 5 bucks and hang them up bc ur gonna wanna look at that a lot more often and without the risk of breaking ur neck lol. I positively love those shoes..u lookin hot there mama really.
  9. Oh ok. My hair dresser had the band first and I watched her struggle a lot with losing down to what she wanted to lose. Like shed want the Dr to put more than so many cc/mL's in and he wouldnt. I just wasn't sure if maybe civilian docs make this first and then revise with rny. See my rny was done by the military and I personally believe that's why I wound up with complications. I was very naive and should have used a highly reputable surgeon instead of the military that more less used me as a guinea pig
  10. Anvel(sp) not angel..sorry
  11. That's what I watched prior to my surgery my surgeon came over to explain and I said something like then u take that angel(sp) thing and create the pouch he said huh u have been researching.. I just laughed.
  12. I dieted like I had already had the surgery. I lost 30lbs. I used the elliptical machine for a hour and a half every other day. I had a lot of problems with eating. I tell ppl I suffered from last supper syndrome and I'm not kidding I did and it was bad. I cut out sodas and switched to water. I would drink one whole glass of water prior to eating and then I would eat. I also wouldn't allow myself to eat past 8pm unless I became hypoglycemic then I'd do a glucerna drink. I never had problems getting the will power to lose my dang problem was keeping the weight off. It was a constant battle. If need to you can pm me and I can tell you how I eat and see if maybe that will help you reason I'm offering that is bc my bf went from 230 I. May last year to 192 now bc he allowed me to do his portions and cook. We hardly eat out. I wish u luck I know how frustrating this can be.
  13. What your going through is normal and all of us has been where you are. I want you to watch this video and read the lyrics. This song is your life right now and it tells you what an amazing gift your going to have once this passes. You chose to save your life and you have come this far. You are now in charge not your weight so don't let it tell you anything different. Your going to make it and if needed I can give you my number and u can call me anytime. I'm here for you anytime day or night but first watch and read the lyrics of this song. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Et-ACnr_Oqc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEt-ACnr_Oqc Lots of love((((((((hugs))))))))
  14. Lots and lots of luck coming your way. My son is a gb baby and he's healthy as a horse and I'm sure ur lil man will be the same!
  15. I was reading some of yalls siggies. Was there a reason you did the band first and not rny or what? Like with me they said I didn't qualify for the vs, band, ds bc I had GERD so severe I actually sprayed the radiologist during a swallow study..they give u that like alcaseltzer (sp) tab stuff and it got half way and I went to say I'm gonna puke and when I opened my mouth it was full Linda Blair everywhere, impressive but gross lol. Anyway, I was just wondering about that that's gotta be hard having to go thru two major surgeries like that..I couldn't imagine.
