Thanks all! While I appreciate the input, I would like to caution some of you on your tone. If I am needing "help" please offer a suggestion of who/where. If you can't fathom a fat chick making a fat chick choice lol **shrugs** If you can't relate to a mistep and have no encouragement...please keep it moving. I don't need anyone being condesending (not to be confused with being honest/telling it like it is). I talked to my doctor about my spoonful and he assured me that I would be fine and that ALLOT of people slip (if they want to admit it to others or even themselves). I also understand that there are those that NEVER mistep **round of applause** Anywho, I've been back on track the past couple of days. Again, thank you for the support. In the event I mess up again...I'll be back to confess it.

I'm suppose to be on stage 2 full liquids, my doctor allows creamy Soups, but you have to strain out all chunks/lump.

YAY I am 36 lbs out at 7 weeks!! Congrats

8 weeks out and 32 pounds - feeling awesome too! Way to go -- keep up the great work!

7 weeks out 45lbs and I feel great!

That's great! I was re 10th too, my follow up is Tuesday, we can be losers together

Since I had my first appointment with my surgeon I've lost 40.6lbs. 17lbs on my own prior to preop diet, about 15lbs on two week preop, and almost 9lbs since surgery on 12/10! And my monthly friend is in town so you know I've gained a little because of that.
I cant believe it. I'm so happy!

I weighed 228 post op and day of surgery I weighed 209. Today I weigh 120. I want to lose another 10 pounds but I am not in a big rush to. My surgery date was 03/01/2012 and I have lost 108 pounds total.

We're kind of old school traditional couple. Where I tend to allow the stereotypical idea of woman is the kitchen cooking. I really love it. So feel really guilty when he has to cook. I make some bad ass Soups. So can't wait till I can make them to eat too (strained of course). He does cook occasionally, not sure how nutritional the meal would be for my little one.
Thought about putting on a hearty chicken noodle Soups and sipping the broth tonight.
What's weird is I'm craving melted cheese like crazy lol. So staying away any meals that include cheese

Then there's always sexy naked night. Lol. Sound awful for lost of us insecure about our bodies. Even at my heaviest we have tried to work a naked night in. Helps keep things fun and exciting, and learn to love our bodies. I've always been the shy one so I know if helps me to let go of Those fears 1-2x a month. Been together almost 4 years, he's seen me as a confident size 6 (for like 2 months lol) and a un confident size 20. And never ran away, instead proposed in June this year.
Number one thing it to have fun, be spontaneous. Use the guest bath (normally only room with a bath tub/shower to fit 2 people) go for a work out and come back to shower together. If you can't make life fun together, then what's the point?

Take baby steps, mix it up, board games, puzzle nights, walk around the block. Once you've broken the cycle spice it up even more, walk your local zoo, try bowling, mini golf. Once you're more comfortable plan an exciting outing, take a road trip, go hiking or camping. Enjoy each other
Be kids again, date each other all over

The fact that she posted here tells me that she wants the surgery, & is either looking for support, or a way to respond to her parents that will help them understand where she is coming from.

Gillopez, arent you a ray of sunshine tonight!?
maybe Melanie is young. Clearly she's frustrated.
Do NOT let then talk you out of it. They probably don't understand all the diets you've been on, the guilt, the self hatred, etc that you're going through.
They may have raised you but now YOU are in charge of you. If your life story turn out crappy, you can't blame them, only yourself. Don't let anyone take it from you.
I read a quote last night by "egg face" (she had wls) that was PERFECT for me.
"Don't be afraid of Dieing, be afraid of never truly living."

So apparently doc told My fiancé that my sutures came undone on my band, it was in wrong place and dilated my lower esophagus, no wonder even though I was in pain early today I still felt better!
So sleeved at 7:30, immense pain and nausea when I woke around 12, they got my balanced out with pain meds and nausea, got my own room at 1. Once pain pump was hooked up I'd say by 4 my on a scale 1-10 pain dropped from like 30 to a 3 lol, did great on my walk at 8, came back to my room where my pain pump quit working for an hour yet wasn't hurting just uncomfortable, not experiencing much pain or gas pain.
Nurse just took vitals, my blood pressure dropped low and pulse fast so they've increased my fluids. Which explains why my skin is so dry and itchy, I'm dehydrated. So hoping the increased IV bag speed helps me quickly.

Leak test was this morning. I bawled because I was so nausea.
Trying to drink dinner not digging it, in lots of pain from the built up gases. They don't give a gas ex, they want to to just walk around to work it out.
Good news is am finally able to pee lol

My mom and Nonnie taught me when I was a little girl. Still have to ask my mom sometimes how to do certain things.
Try this, go to hobby lobby, michaels or any hobby store you lave local. Pick up a latch hook kit. They are fun and different. You can easily do one by Christmas and give it away as a gift.
Here some examples:

Congratulations, I pray that you will be better soon. Thank God for the pain med..

Is 20lbs down since my surgery on Oct 18 good?

Hello my lovelies! I survived lol. Had my revision surgery from gastric lap band to sleeve this morning. Won't lie, was much worse then the banding lol, but that's to be expected considering they had to fix the mess Dr Felix Speigel made me 5yrs ago and then sleeve me.
I woke in the recovery room screaming and pleading for pain medicine and anti Nausea meds, bedding to throw up and for Water or ice to so so. Needless to saw never got Water
Didn't throw up and once then for me stable from screaming and crying at them I was put in my room around 1pm. Since them am feeling much better. Feel like I just did a marathon, 10000000000000 sit ups and twists lol and got a new BFF

Hahahaha my pain med button. Still no ice or water but have a thing to swab a little water across my tongue and lips
They should be taking me for a walk at 7pm
