    For so many reason!

    Surgery date- 3/23/16.

    SW 272

    CW 210.

    60 more to go.....

    Yep. I'm officially in the 10's! Next stop Onederland!

    It amazes me daily how the weight loss speeds up and slows down. Seems like when I was in the 30's it was just yo-yo-ing through them. When I hit the twenties, went faster. When I hit the teens- zoom!!!

    I've no clue how long it will take to get to 199- but we're in it for the long haul, so it shall do what it shall do in terms of time.

    Today I finally packed up all of my plus sized clothing. There is not one piece over a 16 or XL top, and those are getting roomy.

    I kept putting it off- finally piling them up in a corner of my room until my husband asked if I wanted him to bag them for donation. Nope, it was something I needed to do myself. I didn't mourn them- other than a couple of pieces I actually loved- as I thought I would. I was giddy cleaning out my closets today. Someone is going to get a great deal at goodwill on some beautiful size 22-18 Tahari suits! My closet is quite barren now, save for the few things I am buying to get myself through- mainly workout clothes that double as errand running outfits.

    Next week we Celebrate our 20th anniversary. Instead of Vegas, or Nashville we're going hiking at Starved Rock here in Illinois. Now THAT is a vacation I could not have done even 3 months ago!!!

    That is awesome Lisa!!!! So happy for you!!! :) I need to start getting my steps in again!

    I'm doing great, it's been two months now. I was a lower bmi to start, 36, so the loss has been slower than others but I'm ok with that. I'm down 36 lbs so far and still losing. I can't believe how different this is compared to the band, it's what I'd hoped the band would be like. Definately the best decision I ever made.

    That is awesome!! You are doing great!! I am having my band to sleeve revision on July 12. I can not wait!!

    I hated realizing I was one of the biggest people in the room. Also, I have 3 other sisters and was always the fattest.

    Now I weigh less than 2 of them :)

    I can so relate to this!!! I have 2 older sisters that have always been small. I will never weigh less than them, but at least I won't so much bigger than them anymore. They may be smaller, but I'll always be younger than them!! ????

    Surgery is set for July 12, CAN NOT WAIT!!!

    I HATE when you let someone in front of you in traffic when they are waiting to change lanes or wanting to pull out of a lot, and they don't wave to thank you. I like to dramatically wave YOU'RE WELCOME when I don't get the "thank you" wave. :)

    I can't stand this either. It would be awesome to have a junker car and insurance with no deductible so that I could ram them (just once - to get it out of my system :) )

    Yes!!! Fried Green Tomatoes style?? (Road rage scene from the movie for any youngsters! ;) )

    @@nicksmommy I should also tell you that I lied (inadvertently). I have 1 pair of size 20 and 1 pair of size 18--they are identical and a bit stretchy.

    I'll be in Bay City from June 18 - 24. On the 25th I'll be in Hale and then head back out on either the 26 or 27.

    I used to go to my aunts cottage on Long Lake in Hale as a kid! Love The Bear Store!

    I have 2 pair of black capri's -- size 20. They are identical (I usually buy multiples!). I will actually be in Michigan in a few weeks but I won't be in Detroit--I'll be up about an hour and a half north. Did you want me to bring them with me and then you find a way to get them? Let me know.

    Thanks @@esskay77! Where will you be in Michigan? If we can't meet up, I can get you money for them & for shipping. I can send it snail mail or PayPal if you have an acct.

    Anyone post op that is looking to get rid of any of their capris (or other summer pieces) that don't fit anymore? I need a few pair to tie me over until I have my surgery next month (mid to late July). I dont want to buy new and spend big bucks, as I am hoping to not be in them for too long after that! I will pay for the items and shipping.

    Thanks!!

    Premier vanilla slightly frozen, drink it w/a straw gives me the illusion of a milkshake. I heard they just came out w/ banana and cream flavor, can't wait to try that.

    It is AWESOME!! The banana and the chocolate ones are great. Seems my taste for the strawberry has changed. I had one before and really liked it, but now it was just "ok" for me. Seemed a little chalky. I haven't tried the vanilla yet.

    Warren MI (Borders Detroit). Have my first meeting with Dr. Hawasli in April. If all goes well, surgery will be done at either St John Detroit or Grosse Pointe Beaumont. Still undecided on the hospital.

    I'm in Warren too! I am in month 4 of my 6 month appts for insurance requirements. Should be having my surgery sometime in late July or early August. Going through Royal Oak Beaumont. I have a friend that had hers done in September by Dr. Hawasli and she was very happy with him!

    I love vanilla the best...change it up a bit occasionally with adding a little PB2....do you think that is ok?

    I'm pre-op 48 days and trying to learn all I can before surgery.

    Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    I haven't done that, but I don't know why it wouldnt be ok to add spoonful or scoop or whatever that is! I'll bet that'd be good in the banana shake too!

    I am doing a band to sleeve revision all in 1 surgery. I am already on cpap and feel better with it but will be happy when its gone! I am only required to do 3 months of supervised weight loss. I guess because I have the band already. I dont have to loose any weight i just cant gain an ounce. There is no pre op diet either but i am going to do the same liver defatting diet i did before i got the band. I should be done with my last nut appointment the end of June. I am going on a cruise in early July. So I am hoping that end of July is d day. My birthday is mid August and I wouldn't mind a bit if I had to drink my birthday meal!!!! Here's hoping ????

    @@Nurse_Lenora - I agree - the strawberry does not taste right to me. that's why I would like to find a single serving and maybe buy two and get real cold and try the banana cream.

    @@Justin Curtis - you are doing AWESOME!!!! 4months and over 100lbs!!!!

    I'm shopping for the ice cream attachment for my kitchen aid mixer..I might make the strawberry into ice cream...maybe that will help lol
    I'll bet mixing in a couple real strawberries or part of a banana would help. I'll have to try it.

    My friend picked up a case of the banana for me from Sams, getting it tomorrow. I will report back with how it is. He said it was pretty good. Signs at Sam's said it was "for a limited time only" so maybe they are testing it to see how well it goes over first.
