    genpro it's a powder , mixes well in almost everything. You can find it on line or at GNC. It doesn't have any flavoring andded to it. The only thing I found that it doesn't mix well with ice cold drinks.< br>

    Just found some ankle length Rockstar jeans at old Navy on clearance for $15 a few days ago. And the Original jeans were on sale for 40%off. I went with the Rockstar cause they were cheaper. These are my first Jean purchase since way before surgery. (Nsv) my first 12s! I bought 2 and a size 10 to size down into. I haven't needed dress pants yet but i guess I'll cross that bridge when i get to it.

    Oh and im 5'2 and the jeans are truly ankle length.

    Thank you for being so supportive as many of us not only lack support but often have friends and family actively discouraging us.
    As your hubby hits major milestones, new experiences are a great way to Celebrate.
    For me that included becoming more active as I regained mobility. I did an indoor skydiving session, something I would never have done at my pre-op size. Similarly, going on amusement park rides or doing other previously size-limited activities are a wow. I did a 5k not because I love jogging/running but just to finally experience it...to be able to say, "I've done that". So what are things your hubby can't do now that he wishes he could do?
    Shopping for new clothes was also a reward. The experience of shopping for a new pants with smaller waistbands is exciting and even foreign as you get out of the big and tall section and into the mainstream area of a store. For example, I bought a special outfit for my birthday that was smaller than my current size and saw it hanging it up knowing the reward I had for hitting that new lower weight. I didn't care that I may not wear that outfit 100 times as I continued to lose weight and it became too big because for that one day, I felt so special not because I wore a new outfit but because I earned wearing that outfit. Obviously for your hubby, he may care nothing about clothes but hopefully you can see that it was more about the accomplishment. So what is meaningful to him regarding how he presents himself? (Or maybe it's you buying something sexy for him to enjoy? )
    Finally, Celebrate things that aren't weight loss related but are health enhancing. Celebrate tossing out medications. Get a massage to help with the lymphedema, hire a personal trainer for a few sessions at the gym or whatever is appropriate. Again, it is wonderful that you are so supportive. Good luck on your husband's upcoming surgery.

    I got cleared right off the bat with physic. Nutrition is the one I can't clear. I've already seen her twice. The first time was because I wasn't ready. Second time I lost what she wanted me to lose. Started working out 6 days a week. She looked at my food log and wouldn't clear me. Because I ate 2 small slices of frozen pizza.last month I would've eaten 4. I also went out to eat and had 5 French fries , last month I would've eaten 2 baskets. I was very upset, when she told me to make another appointment for 2 weeks.I was ready to quit the program.
    I only need to lose about 70 lbs. I could probably do it on my own, but I don't have the dedication to keep the weight off. That's why I want the surgery.
