Almonds, Beef Jerky, Avocados, Pickles, and Deli and cheese rolls

Just think of all the time you will save not having to Clean out Belly Button Lint now lol. Plus now you can get a neat tattoo there and no one would even realize it was missing.

You lost a decade off your face between the two! Good for you!

Wow, your weight loss is really brining out your handsome face! You look much younger.
I have the dreaded post-weight loss induced turkey neck skin. But I use Vitamin E cream, and stay hydrated and find the turkey neck skin is way less prominent when I drink lots of Water.

The weight loss and Beauty in a Box ( Just For Men Beard Die) have helped me to go back in time by a couple of years and it feels Great.

I would park at the Airport and get a ride over the Border with a BariatricPal driver for several reasons mostly because it allows your Companion to have a worry free trip and focus on helping you. Also on the trip back the time saved on going through the medical lane alone would be worth it. I would also like to add you will Extremely Surprised at how well you will be treated. It is like a Vacation with a Surgery thrown in.

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to check in and hold myself accountable. Yesterday was not the day for me because of the things we brought to the office for someone that's leaving the company. I got up and said today would be a new start for me; I did have good intentions.
For Breakfast I had a Premier Protein shake and added Almased Protein in it. I was not hungry, but had an apple for my morning snack. For lunch I had a plain grilled hamburger patty with grilled carrots. So good so far, right? And THEN...............
I had to have some M & Ms so I bought a pack and had only 5 and gave the rest away. It was my plans to have a shake for dinner. As I walked in the house this evening, I stopped and ate some strawberries that I cooked for strawberry shortcakes; they were so delicious. KNOWing that I messed up big time; did that stop me? "NO". I grabbed some Doritos about 7 chips and at that point satisfied.
I must take control of my bad habit. All morning my stomach hurt and I continued to eat. Since I stopped chewing gum, it seems as if I have to have something in my mouth at all times. I sit around people who eat whenever and whatever. It also does not help when I have someone sitting across from my office selling candy. I know that I can do this, because I went without sweets for so long. I have always had an issue with Chips. :-(.
I'm going to get up tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. and walk on my treadmill if it's only for 20 minutes. I was doing so good until I went natural; I found out my hair and sweat do not mix. lol.
I must continue to remind myself that I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me.
Please keep me in prayers as I will left us all up as a group.

I have been following a Keto Style meal plan and my Body seems to work well with it. I am able to have weight loss at a moderate pace and I feel good most of the time. I limit my meals to three 4oz meals and one snack a day. Take a look on Facebook or Google and see if this might be a option for you. Grazing all day has always been a problem for me and I was in such denial that I wouldn't have believed it if you told me, so that is something I have to fight daily.

I am so incredibly excited. A little nervous, but mostly excited! June 12 I'm going in for my Lower body lift (belt lipectomy) and liposuction to my medial, anterior, and lateral thighs. I have waited so long for this, and it is finally here!! I had my pre-op with my surgeon on Friday, and she got me even more excited! She is really confident that this surgery is going to be hugely successful and the results will be amazing I ended up taking 5 weeks off from work to recover. In the midst of all of this, my husband and I are putting our house on the market, and will be moving to the east coast from Colorado sometime in August (my husband took a new position out that way, and we just couldn't pass up the opportunity). We've been working our tails off getting things ready, packed, and cleaned because we know I'll be pretty useless for a while post-op.
Anyway...In preparation for surgery, I've made myself a list of all the "to do" items, shopping, and packing I need to do. I also made a little medication administration record to post on my fridge to keep all the meds straight, and so my husband can help too!
I'll be in the hospital two nights. The day of surgery, my procedure isn't until 12:00pm, so by the time I'm out of the OR and PACU, It'll probably be after 8pm. I told my husband just to stay home with our daughter (she's 7 years old). I don't do well after anesthesia (I get totally loopy and pukey) and I don't want her to see that. Plus, it's a little bit of a drive, so no sense in them coming just to see me drool on myself, lol.
At my pre-op, I got my VERY sexy compression garment! Mid calf to shoulders, open in the breast area so I can wear my normal bra. Open in the crotch to allow for voiding and drains. So looking forward to that!! Luckily, as an RN, I'm familiar with the drains, but I think my poor husband is going to freak a little. I'll do my best to keep them out of his view.
I've been really watching my diet, working up my Protein intake each day. I know it's so important in wound healing, so I want to make sure I'm good on fluids and protein before I even go in.
T-minus 12 days!! WOOO HOOO!

I needed some Idea what the total pounds this community has lost would look like, so thanks to my friend Google I now know. We have lost over 4 fully loaded 747-8's the worlds Largest Passenger Airplane. The weight could fill an Olympic Swimming Pool 2/3rd s of the way full and also fill a Water tower. Wow that's Truly Amazing, lets keep it going and work towards loosing a Oil Tanker full of unwanted, unneeded FAT!!!

Take a look at a Yoga DVD something like DDP Yoga. All of these movements are done right in your comfortable space a t home and Help with Greater Flexibility and Controlled Breathing as well as a Wonderful form of exercise.

Michael Phelps noooooo
