  1. I think you have made a great decision for you and your daughter. Your husband would be so proud of you. [emoji4]Your daughter needs you and this will improve your health dramatically. I just had mine on 10/28/17 and I was scared too. I was soooo happy after it was over. Now I am THRILLED I DID IT. You can do this and you will have everyone here for support afterwards. You got this!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  2. Yessssss! I am very interested in weight training. I used to train and compete before I gained weight. Cant wait to get back to it!!!! Weight training does NOT bulk up women. I wish it was that easy to gain muscle. It does speed up your metabolism and make you feel fantastic though! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  3. I went to BariatricPal Team Mx in Mexico. After being in the hospital there I NEVER want to be in an American hospital! VSG is $4300.00 and Dr Illan is ah-mazing!!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  4. This is just so wonderful to see! Congrats on your successful journey. You look and obviously feel fantastic. Really great for a newbie such as myself to see. Well done!!! [emoji4][emoji106][emoji173]️ 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  5. We go through so much to have the surgery. Im sure your healthcare team can get you back on track [emoji4] 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  6. Yikes. I would contact your nutritionist and bariatric doctor for sure. I would be concerned too. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  7. Today I suddenly started peeing blood. No real pain or fever that I can tell. Im pretty concerned. Thoughts? 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  8. Dangit! I wish I would have read that before trying them. Scrambled eggs felt like rocks! My tastebuds haven't really changed. Im craving veggies though. I still like the same things. I know a lot of people are different though. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  9. I didn't know that, my apologies. I see no need to be unkind. This is a support group, lets stick to the support part and help each other out. Happy Holidays ? 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  10. I agree, it seems best to let your body tell you. You have really done fantastic!!!!! Congrats!!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  11. Hummus and almonds at great "on the go" snacks. Ditch the carbohydrate laden snacks. Thats what got me here in the first place. Another option is to take a protein shake with you or eat before you leave [emoji4]. You have gone through the surgery, this is easy compared to that. [emoji106]You've got this!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  12. WOW! That must feel fantastic!!!! Congrats. You will get there. [emoji4]I don't really have a goal weight. Im just wanting to be healthy. So interesting that in your stall you're still hitting goals. I have read that several people mention that. I am soooo happy for you that youre just about there!!! Enjoy the holiday. Im a big believer in just having a tiny bit of everything. Im ignoring the holiday this year since Im so fresh out of surgery. Congrats again and Happy Thanksgiving 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
  13. I have to say Im baffled as to why people are unkind. This is a support group, Im sooo happy for those further ahead in their journey. It gives us newbies something to look forward to. @finnix you are inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for inspiring others [emoji4][emoji106] 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

  25. Of course you can [emoji4] The key is MODERATION! Carbs did not serve us well Pre Op and don't Post Op either. BUT.... live, be happy and OCCASIONALLY indulge, its all about mindful eating. Congrats on taking the steps to a healthier AND happier you! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
