Thank you. You'll love the sleeve, and there's been several that I've read about that revised with very close to or at goal that didn't lose a lot more weight, but were able to maintain easily after the sleeve. Best wishes, and keep me posted on your progress ! ! !

Awwwwwwwwwww thanks so much ! ! !

I had my surgery here in Florida so I am not familiar with passport rules. VegasAngel, Cajun, or Ruthi will be able to give you a better idea of the rules since they all recently traveled south for their surgeries. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful on this one.

I have my facebook unsearchable, but you can shoot me a message on how to find you, or with your email and I'll find ya on there.

3oz of chicken is over 20 gr of protein, 1 egg is 7gr, and you can add 2 wedges of laughing cow cheese for another 6grams. Tuna, scallops, shrimp are all high protein foods.

The forum is not working properly this morning, here is my reply to you regarding VSG and Diabetes: http://www.springerlink.com/content/f135104x27461498

Thank you so much for the sweet compliment.

Copy that link into your browser. It's a study for VSG and RNY resolution of diabetes. Also, on the left hand side of the page, there are other studies for your review. Make sure you look up Reactive Hypoglycemia with RNY which is extremely common with RNY patients with diabetes.

Thanks for the sweet pic comments. That red shirt is too big, but it's my "go to" shirt when I'm rushing out of the house LOL.

I am so glad the scale is moving again. Sometimes we just have to "trick" our bodies into doing what we need it to do. If you hit another stall, make another change, and you'll see results. I'm so happy for you ! ! ! You look fab as well, keep up the great work.

Don't leave Kathy. Don't let them bully you into leaving VST. It's ridiculous, you did nothing wrong, you need to stay here for support. Just ignore the jackasses and move on. I promise they just aren't worth it, and you're going to run into idiots on all forums, not just here. If you insist on leaving, then so be it, but what does that solve? NOTHING. It simply gives them a "one up" because now you won't be able to be reached if someone else has similar issues. Please reconsider Kathy.

it's on my right shoulder blade. I have one right below my collar at the top of my back, and then the infamous tramp stamp on my lower back. I plan on getting another after our next baby that goes down my spine, I just have to figure out what I want this time.

Thank y'all bunches ! ! ! I started spray tanning again, and think I've figured it out LOL.

In response to my blog entry you asked about, there are protein bullets available that are 3oz of liquid with 26-42grams of protein. They have collagen, and whey protein in them, and there is a lot of controversy with the quality of protein they really are. There's several different brands and flavors out there. You can find them at GNC and WalMart. I am just at my wit's end when it comes to protein supplements, and have to do something. I've used them before, and will go back to them if I can't find another option that will work for my system.

Thanks for sending me the link. I'd heard I was in a video over there, but had never seen it before. I never gave anyone permission to use my pictures so I'm not sure who published it. I don't necessarily mind, but it's kind of creepy. Thanks again.

Kathy, seriously do NOT allow this idiot to cause you grief. Just ignore him/her, and go on about your day. They aren't worth the energy or emotion you are giving them. Seriously, do not even think you did anything wrong. This happens every time someone posts anything that isn't picture perfect about this program. I'm sorry you're upset, but don't cry over this. You were honest, and gave your experience, and your feelings. You are entitled to your opinion, your feelings, and how you feel should not be negated by anyone. Just let it go, you need support, you need to focus on your recovery, and do not allow this person or anyone else detour recovery and sleeve journey. Your post was not offensive, nor false.

I just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Best wishes, and post when you can ! ! !

Hey there, and thank you.

As for the skin, oh believe me, I have plenty of it. But, it is rebounding nicely. In that dress, honestly, all I have on underneath is a pair of hipster panties. I still have a small fat roll, little pooch on my lower abdomen, but I've learned to accept it. My boobs are shot to hell, and I will have breast implants. I will also have a tummy tuck after I have another c-section. I do have kind of wrinkly skin on my upper inner thighs, and honestly it doesn't bother me. I still have flabby arms, and that's why I wear shrugs/bolero type garments with sleeveless/tanks. In reality, my body is pretty "droopy" as my husband says, but like I tell everyone that asks me, I wouldn't trade in the body I have now for the body I had at 270lbs, well except for my boobs LOL. I do miss my boobs, and actually hate them right now, but nothing that a great push up bra can't conceal when I have on clothes.

Best wishes, and if you need anything, let me know.

Anytime ! ! ! I know you will get there, and it's going to feel fabulous for you ! ! !

Haven't seen you around, and wanted to check on you. . . I hope you are recovering, and sipping away on your water, and walking ! ! !

Hey chickee, I decided to not rent a car, and drive my little Ford Ranger here to Texas. Anyways, call or text me later on today so we can talk about Saturday.

SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU ! ! ! You'll get that goal by Christmas, I just know it. . .

Congrats on all of your victories, and cheers on the ones in the future.

You are going to do so well. . . Thank you for the compliments, and I'm glad to always help, and support someone. If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me.

The uploader is being an a$$hat, and has me and several other members especially from OH in the videos without permission. I tried to be nice then they copped an attitude. I've reported them to youtube so we'll see what happens.
