Occasionally, I go back and read old threads. I was looking through an old thread today and I saw a post from someone I really miss. It's BlooEyez! I really miss her posts and seeing her progress pics. She was one of my inspirations when I first joined. I sent her an email today but I have no idea if she received it. I worry about people when they leave here. I wonder if something has happened to them and wonder if they are okay. So BlooEyez, if you are out there lurking around, you need to come back and give me some more inspiration! Is there anyone that has left LBT that you miss? Maybe they will see this thread and start posting again. At least to let us know if they are okay......

I've seen lipo procedures done on TV......makes me shutter just thinking about it!

My mom gave it to me a couple of years ago, I'm not sure where she got it. If I had to guess, I'd say she ordered it from Amazon. Good luck in finding it!

The only way I can eat oysters is fried.....fried oysters does sound pretty darn good to me right now. I just got fill Thursday and I've been on liquids......eeeh. But I do get to start eating some food tomorrow....YAY!

I've hit many many plateaus. I agree with everyone else, change up your routine. It really does shock the body. Good luck to you!

Nip, you look FABULOUS!! Congratulations!!

My birthday was April 16th and my DH surprised me and told me he was going to order me a bodybugg, YAY! I've been wanting one for months. I am going to order it Friday (payday). I am sooooo excited! I won't bother ya'll with questions right now. I will go through the thread and read up on it first. Just wanted to share. Renewed and I have been talking about getting one and I am so excited we are both getting one soon. I can't wait to see how it motivates us to move!

I went and checked the box, lol. After I saw your post I started second guessing mine. They do have 6g of sugar and 10g of Protein. I really like them. I am going to look and see if they have a whole box of the cinnamon raisin (only 2 of them in the variety pack), they are my favorite!

Thanks for the link. They really are very nice looking. I wonder if they really work like they say they do. A one peice will be the only style I will ever wear probably, or possibly a tankini in the future (way down the road).

My surgeon provided great information. I actually had to take a quiz-type thing before my surgery. They also send a mandatory video via email for me to watch, it's called Emmi. They send it at different stages before and after your surgery. I already know most of the stuff on the video (thanks to this website) but it's really good for the ones that haven't gotten info from anywhere else.

That could be a possiblity for me. I'll have to look next time I go.

Where can you buy them? $100 is mighty steep. I definitely wouldn't want to put that much into one right now but I might possibly reward myself with one once I lost most of my weight. My girls are rather large, so I definitely need help in that area, lol.

Just posting to post :smile2:

Laurend, what's a miracle suit? I hate shopping for swimsuits too! I like to be really covered and the only ones that have enough coverage for me, is the ones that look like a little dress and let's face it.....they're not the best looking swimsuits. They end up looking like a sack on me. Grrrrrr, it's very frustrating! Hopefully when by June or July, I will feel better about wearing one.

I know I'm not quite 30 yet, but I'm pretty close, lol. I love 80's stuff. Renewed, my hubby is STILL jealous of Ralph Macchio, lol. I own all 3 movies and I still love to watch them. I had the biggest crush on him. He's the reason I wanted to take karate lessons......I'm still mad at my parents for not letting me, lol.

Right now I have the South Beach Diet Living High Protein Cereal Bars.......wow that's a mouthful. I bought the variety pack. It comes with Peanut Butter, chocolate, and cinnamon raisin (I love the cinnamon raisin.....yummmm). They have 6g of sugar and 10g of protein. I really like them. I have used the Kashi ones too. I like them as well, but I don't remember how much sugar is in them. I think the protein is around 7g.

Hello and welcome to LBT! It is very normal to be nervous. I was nervous and excited at the same time. It has been a dream come true. My eating lifestyle is very different now and I feel really good. Congrats on the surgery date coming up. I wish you the best and keep us posted!

It depends. If I am eating slowly like I'm supposed to, I will take a deep breath then feel the urge to hiccup. If I'm eating faster than I should, I get a tightness in my chest and it hurts to take a deep breath. I think it also depends on the food I'm eating. It's usually not the same every time. Sometimes it's tightness in the chest, sometimes it's hiccups.

I saw the videos a few months ago. I don't know the guy personally, but I didn't get a good vibe from him. Seems like he is just trying to persuade people to follow HIS WLS procedure. Didn't he do gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass or was it just the mini GB?

I ate one for lunch today. This time I put it in the freezer for 45 minutes, stirred it, then put in for 20 more minutes and it was better. Just colder, thicker and creamier than normal. It was really good.

I haven't tried the High Protein Slim Fasts, but I use the Low Carb Slim Fasts and I really like them. Actually, the low carb ones have 5 more grams of protein than the high protein. I think the HP has 15g protein per can and the LC has 20g. Try blending the chocolate with decaf coffee and ice, it's really good.

Right now I would have to say my legs. 79 lbs ago I never showed my legs. I always wore pants or long skirts. I am really enjoying wearing capris and shorter skirts now.

Whooooo Hoooooo Nip!! That is so wonderful. You must be so proud, it really is an amazing accomplishment. At this rate, you'll be at goal in no time. Congratulations!!

Wheets, do you have a recipe for the "fried apples"? Can you either post it or PM to me? Thanks.

I've never thought about turnips as a substitute, but I might have to try it. I have had Jicama before and I really like it. I just ate it cold and raw. The "fried apples" idea is a great one, I will definitely try it. Does anyone know if Jicama is a seasonal vegetable? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know? The local grocery stores here used to carry it and I haven't been able to find it in months.
