  4. I'm with the girls above Premier was my #1 all through pre-op until now really AND Syntrax! I order mine from vitacost.com. Strawberry mousse is my newest obsession. Taste like strawberry nesquick!
  5. @ Well those bastards!! - I finished a nursing contract in PA last year. It's a Lovely place!

  7. @@LisaPunkinHead I'm glad you are enjoying it! I must have missed the mayo incident?! My husband is bringing me home the Bowflex Blaze tonight so we shall see how that thing goes. I'd love to get my arms in shape on my own and save the money!
  8. @@tomi71 I would have to do so SERIOUS research before I do anything. The Mexico place wants you to send in a picture of your boobs, problem areas. I'm not sending any body part pictures right now. I wonder what they do with all those?! I may have to play the "if you show me yours I'll show you mine" game so I have some evidence to show if I see my boobs on the internet some day!!!
  9. @ I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and sign up for that website! It won't let you see all the pictures unless your a member. Good luck on your journey through sleeve land! It's wonderful!
  10. @@CowgirlJane Lol! That's how I view mine now! I worked hard to lose this 90 and once I get the rest off I want to be put back together so to speak. I've never wanted to be a rail I like womanly curves so as I'm losing them I'm keeping motivated by planing on new!
  11. @@Babbs Yeah it's not cheap. I will go to a surgeon in my city first for a consultation to see what they say. My husband says he will get it done. I only want to get the things done I know I can't fix with exercise like boobs. They don't look horrible but they are def smaller! I had to get smaller cup size. I still have 30 more lbs to lose so it won't be today but I'm already looking. I deserve it!

  16. @@nickelbv That's how I feel too but I was also raised to not ask people how much their personal things cost I don't want to offend anybody or put them on the spot. I'm a big mouth so I don't mind sharing but I know some people are more private. I guess they don't have to answer
  17. I figured the tummy tuck would be the worst, I dread it more than anything else's. I've had 3 c-sections and 5 stab wounds from the VSG so my poor stomach has been through it.
  18. @@CowgirlJane Which procedure would you say was the most painful?
  19. @@CowgirlJane Thank you for sharing! I read through some post about surgery but not really how much it cost. I didn't search too long though.
  20. @@scarletwitch19 I was just replying to another question similar to this. Like everyone says it depends on what your eating. I can eat 1 cup of shredded lettuce with a thin slice of turkey and thin slice of cheese just fine, but can only handle 4-5 shrimp max! It also depends a lot on the time of day. I can't eat much at all in the AM my stomach is pretty dang tight then so I do protein shakes and can't usually even get the whole cup in but as the day goes on it loosens up a bit.
  21. @@Babbs Cottage cheese test?! Please enlighten me!
  22. Is it rude to ask people how much they spent on plastic surgery? I'm not talking about out in public but in here. I'm not opposed to leaving my state if I need to when the time comes to get the best surgeon/price. I never know if it's acceptable or not to ask how much? I know most people want to know. I don't want to be rude I just want to start getting some ideas of what it would be. Obviously I would have to be seen to get an exact amount so I'm not expecting that since every procedure is different, just a figure. I know some states are cheaper than others ect...or I would consider Mexico IF I could hear from someone who has experience and good results with a particular surgeon. If you care to share I thank you in advance! PS the procedures I'm considering are breast lift with D/DD implants (I've always had large boobs) a tummy tuck and maybe arm lift!
  23. I'm 8 months post and I just eat a Cup of shredded lettuce, 1 thin slice of pepper jack cheese and I thin slice of turkey cut up in it. I'm FULL. Really just depends on what your eating. I make peel and eat shrimp a lot and can only eat 4-5 max of them. I do a protein shake 99% of the time for breakfast because my stomach is even tighter then.
  24. Aww that stinks! Literally I drink them and don't have an issues. You may have to find a different kind
