  1. Very Very Cute !! Congratulations
  2. If your having a hard time, maybe you could stick with clear liquids for a few days. Juice, broth, ice pops, italian ice, crystal light drinks. Maybe the thick stuff is to much right now? I was on clear for 2 weeks and I'm glad now b/c it helped me go from one stage to another pretty easy. Hope you feel better !!!
  3. How do you get there little legs apart to see it ?
  4. Strange post..... eh~ Almost like advertisement for this doc....wouldn't you say.
  5. Are you on clear liquid or thicker liquids ?
  6. You go boy !!! LOL Its really great that you have a goal to work towards. I'll join you. I'm hoping to wear a ladies 1X by spring, depending on the cut, I'm in a 2 - 3x now. And I agree, target or walmart, especially since we'll be losing MORE by the summer
  7. Because I am tall, I have to lose more than 50 for folks to notice. And because its mostly in my gut, I don't go down sizes easily. My boob and legs will disapear while my rolliepollie gut stays.
  8. 1. What does your handle mean? I'm a chick in NJ 2. What book are you currently reading, or did you last read? A self help book about weight. 3. What do you do for a living? Pharmaceutical Co., Discovery Research 4. For what in your life are you most grateful? I'm greatful that I have Jesus in my life and my family especially my little girl. 5. What's one thing about you that you think would surprise other people? I am VERY VERY SHY 6. One word to describe yourself? Honest 7. One word others use to describe you? I don't think I can say it here 8. Would you rather play a game with someone better or worse at it than you? Better, I like a challenge 9. Favorite movie? Favorite show? I love the old shows, Carol Burnette is my favorite. As far as movies Mel Brooks is my favorite. 10. Something unusual about yourself? I'm double jointed
  9. To be healthy To play with my little girl and enjoy life To be comfortable with myself in any situation (to have nookie every night naaaaaaah naaaaaaaaaaah)
  10. No, sorry. I did the same thing and I still keep doing it. I mean its only natural to think about what your going to cook/eat. But I think what we will learn is not to obsess over it like before. Good luck
  11. Geeze Becky, its good to see you again. I'm so sorry for the seizures and the tongue eeegads lady. HUGS !! I don't know of this happening to anyone that has rapid weight loss, I guess thats because I don't know to many folks who have lost that fast except me YEARS ago. I hope everything goes well for you. ***BIG HUG***
  12. You sound ready !! Centrum also makes a chewable adult Vitamin. Rent some movies and your all set
  13. Pat you sound like you have round shoulders, I have the same thing, can't keep the straps up
  14. Mine didn't come off, I had to take them off on the 5th day, I did it in the shower
  15. Your loss sounds right on target, good job !!!! I would suggest eating no less than 1200 calories a day, if you go to low you have nothing to fall back on. I noticed once I upped my calories from 800 to 1200 I started losing better plus alot of my calories is veggies and meat. Also, remember, when you start exercising you may gain muscle and lose fat at the same time so you will think the scale is not moving. Like your siggy says..... for your health
  16. Hello !! I would call a surgeon to see if they would even perform the surgery. If they don't know then I wouldn't know what to tell you except talk to the makers of the band.
  17. Your body could be changing with age and the weigh loss, are you near Aunt Flo's visit? Some times that'll do it for me.
  18. I could eat alot of mushies too, I just stop myself after about a cup because I'm afraid of hurting myself. I'm trying to train my brain that this IS enuf food. Good luck !!!
  19. Oh bummer Trish. But like everyone mentioned, its fixable (yeah I know I know). Sorry about the Hernia, man when it rains it pours huh. Well please know that you have lots of love here and we're all praying for you. HugS !!!
  20. Good Morning Patty LOL, ummmmmm after your done cleaning you can clean my house. I sware, I will have the house clean maybe 20 seconds and poof, it looks lke I never touched it. WTF lol. Pat of course you could come LOL !!! Just remember if you make those on anything but an air bake pan, watch the time b/c I would think they will cook faster. Hope you like them. IMHO they are better the next day but my DD and DH like them warm. ick. Call me weird but I don't like warm cookies LOL, so if I can get them out of my house w/in 24 hours I'm safe Its time to go wake up DD for school, she needs to lay on the couch and snuggle before she races off. Nothing else planned for today DH is home on vacation this week, he is working on an inclosed deck and has the roof almost shingled so thats his project. He is a workaholic. Have a great day everyone !!!! Beanie I asked that girl again for the name of the Lawyer... she hasn't gotten back to me so I will call her today. I wonder if she is on vacation. Sorry for the delay. HUGS !!!
