WOW... glad you are feeling great... Thank God for miracles!!!! Keep up the good work!!

Awesome job Lisa!!! I may hit the gym in the AM... I've been out celebrating my birthday eve!!....

Hey Guys!!! How is everyone?? Sentos, congrats on being sleeved tomorrow.. 3/22 is my BIRTHDAY!!! LOL.. Love, hugs and a speedy recovery to you...

Sometimes people don't type well or maybe they're so excited to post on the board w/ all the nice people, that their hands go faster than their brains??!!! I'm just saying... I think this thread is hilarious!!!

My surgeon did my EGD... Did you ask them to refer someone??? Everything will work out.. I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts your way!!!. Hugs....

Congrats!!!... Getting sleeved was one of the best decisions I've ever made!!!

I've been experiencing SUPER oily skin on my face for the past 6-8 weeks... I thought it was just the initial after surgery shock or something... but it's not going away... I usuallly have normal to dry skin... but now, even oil control make up/powder isn't helping... Any changes to your skin since early pre-op?? Any suggestions about the oiliness?? All of my pictures look like I'm bathed in baby oil.. HELP!!!

I was completely sold on the lapband until I started reading the percentage of 2nd surgeries.. Nope.. not going under more than once!!!

Congrats on your sleeve!!.. I have to echo what's already been said... Plan your meals and schedule your Fluid intake... I bought a 32oz Water container... and I fill it up once on the way out of the house.. and again after lunch break... I try to keep high Protein Snacks around and get at least 25-30g of protein during breakfast.... It was very difficult for me initially because I wasn't used to having to work and think about getting all my food/liquids down..When I plan and stick to my schedule, it's no problem.. But if I get super busy at work and get thrown off, I have a heck of a time trying to get all my water and meals in...

Salad w/ 1 cup of organic baby romaine, egg, turkey, cheddar cheese, bacon and a little dressing...

LOL... That's hilarious!!! Congrats Lady!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!!!

Yes it was!!! Getting sleeved was one pf the best decisions I've ever made!

Sounds like you needed more meds!!! Wow! Sorry you guys had to go through that!

Uh huh.. rub it in... I mean... brag why don't you!!!.. LOL...

Energetic... Cool!! I'm originally from MS... Thanks for the birthday wish!!!.. I'm very excited for you!!! Be sure to check in on the board okay??!!!!

No you won't know... Trust me.. I am one of the most "pain sensitive" people I know... They have you start swallowing the scope while you're going under.. and before you know it.. it's over and you're awake!!

Muscle is definitely more dense as Lisa said... People think because it's more dense that it weighs more... but that's not the case... a pound is a pound!! Building muscle will speed up your metabolism....

Good thoughts and prayers toward you...

Congrats!!! Thursday is my birthday!!!!... Best wishes!!

hey Guys... Though I was sleeved 3 months ago... March 22 is my birthday!!!! Prayers and best wishes for your surgeries... and you will have a special seat on the Loser's Bench.. right beside me!!! LOL.. Congrats again!!!

Consolidation!! YEAH!!!... I want my chins and stomachs to meet and become a much smaller one and not a duo!!!

Welcome Newbie!!! It's my pleasure.. I'm even move comedic in person!!! LOL... Trust me, if I wasn't considering running for public office someday, I would post stuff that would make you lose 10 pounds just laughing!!!! Congrats on starting this journey... Let me know if I can be of service to you...

Thanks guys... I enjoyed the bike.. I think I'll do it again this evening and probably a little on the treadmill... I start a boot camp class on the 26th... I'm excited and scared!!!!

I guess for me... one of the best was when my ex saw me at an event, chasing my 2 year old niece around... I was told, he stood there and stared for about 5 minutes... LOL.... When he finally walked up to greet me... he just stared w/ that fish mouth thing going on!!! Also, my students call me pretty more often now...
