How's all March 11th sleevers feeling now? I feel great. I hope you are too!

I had my surgery Tuesday, March 11th. Really feeling good today! I made the right decision. I hope everyone is feeling good!

Hi! I was sleeved on March 11th also. I did very well the 2 days after but fell to pieces for 3 days with gas! I cried and cried. I tried everything. Finally I had a BM and I'm feeling great. I'm doing better with this surgery than my LapBand. Good luck to everyone! Jody from Jersey

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on Tuesday. I just started the full liquid diet today. I previously had a LapBand so I know what I'm in for! It sure does get boring. If anyone finds something good we can all have please please share!

Nana, I feel so bad for you. Did you go back to the doctor? You don't want all that acid reflux to burn anything. It happened to a friend of mine. Good luck...keep us posted. Jody

Maggie, You look great!! Congratulations! You give me great motivation!:biggrin::biggrin:

Yesterday was circuit training with a trainer and 45 minutes on the treadmill. Today is a day of rest but I'll be back tomorrow!!

45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym tonight. Tomorrow is last chance workout before weighing in at Weight Watchers.

I meant to say 40 minutes of cardio and circuit training with trainer!!

Monday - 40 minutes cardio in the gym Tuesday - 4 mile walk Wednesday - gym - 4 minutes cardio and circuit training with trainer Today will be cardio for 40 minutes at the gym

Everyone, It is with regret that inform you that Becky's Mom passed away last Saturday. Please keep her family in your prayers. Frangi - of course she is thinking of you and hoping you are healing in Miami.

Happy Belated Birthday Frangi!! :tt2::thumbup: Hope you are feeling better. Are you home?

Frangi, Glad to hear the vac is working for you. Wound care takes time. You'll do great!! I am partying with the girls as we speak tonight. We are all joining Weight Watchers tomorrow so tonight is party time. No food involved if you get my hint!! :thumbup::tongue: I went into Coyote Ugly in the New York New York casino when we were in Vegas. I was a bit shy. Unlike me...but next year....LOOK OUT!! I want to be there right there with the girls dancing!!:biggrin::biggrin: That is my BIG regret of Vegas, not going into Coyote Ugly....Wait until next year folks!!:w00t: Well, the hip hop is calling on my patio and the girls are dancing so I will talk more later!! :thumbup:

Congratulations Maggie!! I am really glad to hear it. Now join me in a holiday weight loss challenge, will ya?? I would love to get everyone to post more.

Monday and yesterday - 4 mile walk I will be posting again tonight!!

Hi Ladies, We haven't heard from you in awhile. What's new? Hope all is well!

A year out and I am also a slow loser. But...without the band I would be 46 lbs heavier. Congrats on your NSV and anniversary!! I know there are more NSVs to come!

Hi Crazy Ates, I was wondering if anyone is up for a Holiday challenge? I noticed another group doing it and it seemed like a great idea. This is a hard time of year so with a challenge on the table it could make it a whole lot easier. Halloween is close and could be a milestone. How about a Thanksgiving challenge? Anyone up to it? I know I sure am!!

Hi Frangi!! I am thinking about you. Frank and I are back from Vegas. What a time we had!! Just wonderful. Please keep us updated on what is going on. I thought of you while I was there. You would set that town on fire girlfriend!!:thumbup::biggrin: Hugs to you!!

Frangi - You look amazing!!:thumbup: I hope your incision heals up quickly. Cori made me laugh with the QVC comment. I can see you hosting it with your own line of clothes!!!:frown:

Becky - Hugs and prayers that Mom is okay. Please give us an update when you can. By the way, did she notice a HUGE change in your appearance? I know you did not tell them about surgery. Frangi - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take it easy. Things can wait until you are up to the challenge. You have already turned the Miami economy into the black....that is enough Lady!!:cursing::tongue: Download some more books. I am actively on the September Exercise Challenge thread because of you (I am thrilled by the way). You can relax and heal and let us know any new books you are listening too!!

Oh Becky - Thoughts and prayers are with your Mom at this time. You are doing a great job at changing those life long habits. Before last year the refridgerator was comfort. Now you are trying to relieve stress with exercise. I am really glad that Ike is not impacting you too much. You don't need that on top of your issues with Mom. Again - only the best wishes and prayers to Mom.

LuLu - thanks for the stretching advice. I will take you up on that big time. I tend to not do that and cause injuries. Today was a nice 2 mile walk and I actually bought a beginner Yoga DVD. I like it. It stretches me out and does calm my nerves. Remember, I have 2 teenage boys!!:wink_smile: Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Frangi - Glad your trip home was okay. I have to laugh at your post about hubby being home and the house is trashed. It is the opposite in my house. If Frank were away for 2 weeks he would feel the same way!!!:thumbup::tongue: Don't over do it until you are healed up. We know you are a Super Woman but be careful!!:wink_smile: Becky - hope you are fairing well with Ike. We are all thinking about you and NanaRenan.

Went to the gym today and totally over did it!! My DS warned me about putting my favorites on the Ipod but I didn't listen. YIKES....I ache! Treadmill - 40 minutes Bicycle - 30 minutes Elliptical - 15 minutes - Dear Lord...what was I thinking!!! Upper body workout - YIKES :w00t: 30 minutes - sister in laws hot tub!!:cool2: My legs are like jello!! I loaded my Ipod with songs from my heyday...might not be the best thing to start with!! These are songs from my 20s and 30s...I am 46. DS got a good laugh anyway!! He told me to keep it up and catch up to the Ipod!! I think I will take him up on that challenge looking at LuLu and Ceradad!!:wink2:
