      As you'll always be his little girl, he'll always be your Daddy. He gave you a foundation that will support you from here on.

      As a daughter, now is your time to "give". Give your dad all of the love and support that you can and then give some more. Be strong enough to know and fulfill HIS wishes, graciously and with dignity. That is what a daughter does. I know. My father passed away slowly over a five month span. Dignity and grace. I made sure he had those two things--which were vital to him. Sending prayers up for you and your father.

  4. Our beautiful American flag is out. Watching 9-11 documentaries as we have done for the past 15 years. God bless all those that perished. I will never forget!

      Well put and Thank YOU.

  5. Mother of the bride dress needed! Wedding is August 26. Need a complete wardrobe too, not because of my massive weight loss (said with sarcasm) but because I live in frumpy house dresses. Question: How long do I wait before I start browsing the stores for 'the dress' given that I am 2 months post op and could (hopefully) lose more weight?

      Congrats! I would either order one in two or three different sizes, have one custom made by someone who is able to do last minute alterations. What fun!!!

  6. Waking up at 4:45 am sucks, especially when you don't have to.

  7. Anybody take Bariatric Advantage capsules? I just switched from the chewables because they taste so nasty but these capsules are hard to get down! First time I've felt that uncomfortable pressure in 4 weeks.

      I have not - but when I was taking my chewables (I paid for them, doggoneit I was going to use them) I had to have them with applesauce or a flavored drink because I didn't care for them. the calcium were better, but I'll be glad when I've used them up and can go back to regular.

  8. Only lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks. I have not cheated once since surgery. Seriously folks, wouldn't you be pissed and/or disappointed too?

      Basically you already had one metabolic reset. The 2nd one isn't going to work the same. The point of a revision is to make it easier to eat right with less stress, but it isn't going to work like the first surgery for most people. There are a few people here that have lost a lot with a revision, but most people lose very slowly after a revision.

      I will make a point to discuss this with him at my next appointment. Thank you for your explanation. I still don't understand why a body gets only one great metabolic reset, lol. He should have told me!

      I have not seen one person on here who actually lost 30 pounds (much less 40 pounds) in the first month. If you see those numbers, they are typically including their pre-op diet weight loss. I lost 12 pounds in the 1 week liquid pre-op diet and 12 in the first month FOLLOWING surgery. Seriously, you have to find a way to not focus on what others say. It will make you miserable and it is more than likely not accurate info.

  9. So tired of cottage cheese and refried beans!
