  1. I DID IT!!!! I have reached my personal goal of 175#. I haven't been 175 in almost 20 years. My doctors goal weight for me is 155, I'm so excited!!! Can you tell? It has been a slow 2 months. my weight has been fluctuating up and down hovering between 178 and 180 and today I got on the scale and voila....175!! I got on and off the scale several times to make sure it wasn't a fluke. But it wasn't. Last week I got out the box of clothes that had been stashed away. You know those clothes that you loved and said, I'll fit back into these one day clothes. Well, a lot of them I do fit back into and most of them I do not. Not because I'm big, but because they are too big!! Oh Happy Day!! Spring is finally here in Southern Central PA and I can finally get outside and work on my flower beds and prep the vegetable gardens. Praying everyone is having a great start to Spring and looking forward to those summer months of not feeling uncomfortable in your own skin when wearing shorts and tank tops OR the dreaded bathing suit.

    tail bone pain

    I thought it was because I rode a bike for 4 miles and blamed it on the seat. My butt has been killing me. Glad to hear it wasn't the bike and that it is just a "side effect" of losing weight. Hope it goes away soon though. The thought of getting on a bike again hurts me.
  3. WHY, why, why did I do that! It is Christmas time and when you have kids an parties to attend you bake cookies, and a lot of them. Molasses ginger ones, peanut butter Nutella ones, sugar cookie ones, chocolate chip ones. UUUGH, I sit home all day and heard them calling my name every time I went into the kitchen. AND I HAD ONE, BUT NOT JUST ONE! I don't know how many I ate each time I went in. When i pack my kids their lunch, I stead of putting one cookie in I put 3 or 4 and tell them to share with their friends because I need them out of my house NOW. I'm a self sabotager. every time I get close to passing 190 I do something to stop it. why am I afraid of being in the 180's?
  4. dabliss111114, I'm right there with you. Just got off the scale at my Dr. Office....6 more pounds.
  5. So, I still haven't gotten on my "I know your broken" scale. But I did check two measurements, I measured almost every inch of myself the day before my surgery. The measurements I took today were of my two highest amounts. My Gut...above my belly button and below. The results...4" lost in both measurements!! Woohoo. So, my scale is saying stupid, who knows what, but the measuring tape never lies. Regarding clothes, they all fit looser and I'm not going to go out and buy clothes as I lose. That is rediculous, especially in the winter months when you can now comfortably layer up and not feel like a stuffed sausage.
  6. Time4ChangeNY - glad to hear I'm not the only one. Keeping my fingers crossed that the scale moves for both of us next time we get on it.
  7. Why haven't I lost anymore weight? I did get on the scale art home today and out reads the same thing out did back on Nov.24 the day I went for my post op appt. Granted I've been sick with a serious head cold and not eating or really drinking as much as I should but shouldn't the scale be moving down? My energy it's finally coming back so I can start exercising. But why?
  8. Well, glad to say, I didn't get sick on the pills last night. Still feel aweful though. For those looking fort purée fod, I found a great website bariatriceating.com. There are a lot of great tips on this page also.
  9. Aaaah, I just took two sinus medicine pills, forgetting we can't take them anymore. Crap what do I do?
  10. @@NewJeffrey, I'm with you. I haven't weighed myself either. Only as Dr. Appts. My scale was constantly showing up or down, never consistent. I've been on the go since Thanksgiving and I know I haven't been getting enough fluids in. Now in sick with a major head cold and trying to get in the fluids.

    To Truvia or not to Truvia

    Because it is made with erythritol.

  13. My NUT. when I was having lap band in Jan. said I could use Truvia so I have been using that ever since even when the band was removed in March. Now, I had RNY and she says not to use Truvia. REALLY? What am I to do with my big bucket of Truvia now or can I still use it in my cofree? One tsp. is all I use for my one cup of now decaf coffee a day.
  14. Fingers and Toes crossed, good luck.
  15. The drain is a pain. Can't wait until Tuesday when it comes out. Do we really have to do two full weeks of liquids post op? I'm hoping the Dr. will say I can have pureed come Tuesday. This will make Thanksgiving so much easier. I just want a spoonful of sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes. Then I will be good. I made sugar free chocolate pudding today with a scoop of my chocolate protein powder. came out tasting just fine. dole makes a spicy black bean and corn cream soup that I added some unjury chicken broth flavored protein to, again really good.
