@BladeFox Thanks, and I hit 240 today so I am super excited, and yes I did steal your "0" idea, it is a great idea, so thanks for that!!! I always look forward to the finish and right now I have to look at the small things cause I know I have a ways to go. So baby steps first before I can run!!!

Righteous!

Thanks blade!!! I appreciate it very much!!! I am not quitting now, as I really can't anyway? I have a new tummy and I am not going to risk stretching it out!!! I am just going back to basics and trying to cut out the salt?

Yeah, we are due for storms as well...I guess I slug it out on the treadmill...sigh.

@4me4them yeah I wish I had a treadmill to use, but I don't, I am planning on joining the Local YMCA soon, so when I can do that I will be very much using all that I can there!!!

LOL now you have to wait until tomorrow morning, boohoo

oh no! I hate days like that, good luck tomorrow morning

 

Yeah boohoo, I don't like waiting but it is what it is, I can have something to look forward to tomorrow?

Thanks you too.

Thanks Pupichupi! I will be celebrating next week but have FUN!!!

@BigGirlPanties I am telling you, you won't ever eat regular Spaghetti again!!! I was skeptical at first but when I tried it, I was like holy S#%t, this is good, and so easy!! Plus it's good for you, I can't eat pasta at all, it doesn't do well in my tummy so I needed this!! I got mine at Walgreen's, and I have seen it at Walmart too. The person who told me about it got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond? So it's around. Just in case!!!

This is on my to-buy list

I have my coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond ... now to just get over there...it's across town...but thanks!

Ahhh thanks for the reminder! Off I go...

That's great to hear so far I'm 5 and 1/2 weeks out and I'm down 50 pounds I am loving the new me and can't wait to loose more weight,

Get another "0"??? What do you mean there?

You know, 250, 240, 230.... HAAAA!

Oh ok, I was like a "0"??? Like no weight loss? Who is looking forward to that? Yeah I would like to see another "0" soon too, I have 4 more lbs to 240, so that is exciting!!! I wouldn't mind doing that this week!!!

Im sorry hon. If its too dry it will. Im not going to lie. I drink a little water with food to make sure its not lumping in my chest.I figure after months of vomiting everyday that little bit that might get pushed through with my water will be okay. If i can chew it and make it mooshy enough in my mouth its going to be an unpleasant feeling like an elephant on my chest.

i hope it goes away for you. I know that feeling and you are not alone.

Yeah butterfly I know that elephant in the chest thing, ugh it stinks but I have tried the water thing and it seems to just help me bring it up not push it down even when I do chew it up to mush? I just have to keep trying things and move forward I guess???? Thanks Alot!!!

Blade I am, I am just going to start switching things up a little too, and walk every other day and then on the days I don't walk do weight training and situps and stuff like that!!!

How many days post op?

 

@sotabee I am 3 months and 1 week post op!

Thanks girls. @BladeFox I know right, I went down to my basement and pulled up a tote of cloths that I can now fit into and I was super excited cause I found a pair of shorts that fit so perfectly, and they looked good too, my hubbyman was just like holy how, he was so funny!!!

That is so cool! Congrats!!

Hey Pupichupi, I have not had my surgery. Can you tell me what type of exercise you have been doing? Your start weight is close to mine now. Also great job!!!

lol, my girlfriend is a vegan, and she eats alot of tofu, she made it for me once and I was not about it, but to each their own, I don't hate on it, I will try anything once, well except liver!!! lol, I LOVE to cook and try new things all the time!!! I just wish buying food to try things wasn't so darn expensive!! lol

Liver is do-able, but you gotta mince it up real small and put it in something with a bold flavor, like Mexican food. I was an anorexic/anemic teenager with major B vitamin and folate deficiencies, and a Mexican neighbor made tostadas or tacos for me twice a week with the liver hidden in it. It got me well. My mother made the shoe leather fried liver crap which I could not stand.

 

Since being sleeved, I get extra pleasure out of experimentng in the kitchen to help me meet nutritional goals.

lol @ Miss Mac ... my mom made it the same way (but I still love it)...pork chops too...because she bought the thin cuts and cooked them like center cuts... let's just say she wasn't a very good cook...bless her

yeah you!

That is great. Congratulations.

Congrats! Would you do sleeve again? I am nervous and a bit freaked out

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Congrats! I'm still 2lbs away from the BIG 50, but I've been smaching fruit lately. Just need it for some reason.

You can do it, tomorrow is our 3 month mark, and I will be checking one more time this week just to have my official 3 month weigh in, and I will be doing my measuring too!!! I love doing it, isn't that crazy!!

Yeah Blade that is what I think I am going to have to do, I have been doing alot of brothy soups and stuff like that since I been feeling this way so I will get back on track!!! I know there are times when I do eat, I am so used to eatting one way that I just forget to chew but I think about it after and I remember on that next bite!!! lol

It happens. Everytime, I have problems with eating, even when I'm chewing good and food just feels stuck, I will go back to soft and voila' a weight loss. You may actually reach your 50lbs by the end of the week lady!

I hope your right blade!!! I would really like that considering it is only 3 lbs that I need to loose this week to hit the 50??? LOL

I know me too!!! I figure my goal was to loose 150 lbs, and so I wanted to loose atleast 1/2 that by the 6 months cause I know the first 6 months is when you loose it quicker and then after that is when your body starts to slow down so I wanted atleast half of it gone by then????

we are only 3 months next week so we still have 3 more months to kill it!!!

I know. I hope to kill it Pup, I hope to kill it...lmao!

Energy galore pupi! Congrats!

OMG that is awesome!!! I can not wait to have energy again! I have a friend who recenlty moved in with me and is expecting a baby in Nov. So I am going to need all the energy I can get!!!

yes you will cause those late nights are no joke!!!

lol thanks blade!!! How are you doing? How did everything go with the job thing?

you ladies inspire me!! I am so excited as my time gets closer. I am still 4+ months out, but I can't wait to be where you are! Keep up the good choices and work ladies you are amazing!

Thanks pinkpolkadot!!! I can't speak for blade, but I know going through this transformation I have found that I want to help others loose the weight, I have instilled the changes in my home too, and my son is only 9 but he is a heavy kid right now and we are working on that so that as he gets older he doesn't go through everything I have growing up and being a heavy kid.

Thanks!!!

Work it!!!

Thanks blade, did you hit your 40? I know we were talking about it last week?

Woo hoo!!!

Excellent!

Oh ok???? Never heard of it?

Non-Scale Victories...oops!

LMAO thats a big difference!!!

Yep, good but I have chosen to stay off pork rinds for a bit. I love popcorn and have started to eat Skinny Pop Popcor. Low carbs and a little protein(not much.) Still must be careful on both - full of sodium.

Blade smart pop is what I've been into too they have a new low cal one too!!!

Love pork rinds. P.s. Watch the salt content..it may make u retain fluids.

What an amazing goal to have!! Congrats.

Congrats!!!!

Thanks guys!!! I think it will motivate me more!!!
