Blade, thanks, I wasn't even in the car, and I do have good insurance, but I also have a $500 deductable, so i have to get a estimate tomorrow on it and find out what the damage is? I am just so mad that people can be so irresponsible to hit someones car and then not put wait to tell them or leave their info for the person they hit? I would have been responsible enough to write down my info and leave it for them? Its disgusting?

Oh Hell no - they - didn't!!! Now I see why you are screaming on the inside. I sincerely hope this works out for you well in the end. Be at peace lady.

Thanks Blade, I am ok today!!! lol

 

Instead of being "disgusted with myself " over a tiny , normal fluctuation of 2 lbs, how about giving yourself a pat on the back for your progress so far ?

Pup, it happens to the best of us. This is what happens when you realize that you can eat a certain food that you hadn't been able to eat..or it could be hormonal or salt. You have been doing so great and I am proud of you, so you better not beat yourself up about this!!!

@Miss Mac good luck with your appt., @BladeFox thanks girl, I am really trying not to beat myself up, just chocking it up as a learning lesson, I havent found anything new I can eat, so I don't know how this happen, but I wasn't feeling good at all yesterday sharp pains in my stomach so I am wondering if that had a part in all of this? So I will just keep plugging along with this and see if next week is better? I was only 4 lbs from 200 and that is what discourages me, cause I am so close to onderland? lol

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.

Glad you are home!

Congratulations, I'm praying that your recovery and healing will go smoothly and that your pain will be minimal!!!

 

Thanks everyone!!!

Amazing!

 

Thanks Everyone, @BladeFox, I know what you mean about digressing, I feel like there are times where I do this also, I need to get back in the game of eating right and working out more. I have been so lazy lately that i barely work out if at all? I am so freaking tired running from work to football and sitting in the cold at football at night, I just have no desire to work out?

Congratulation's. I am so happy for you. Keep up the good work

 

Thanks everyone!!! @Sleeveless in seattle, that is awesome!!! Well congrats to you too then!!!

awsome!!! congrats!! I agree with ya great job keep it up!

117 lbs down, down and dirty -that is great!!! congrats happy happy surgiversary bud kathy

Happy Birthday and enjoy your day you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday!! I was just thinking about that today. I am considering if I should enjoy this last birthday cake? Or be good....

I will tell you what, I didn't miss the cake at all. I am so much more happier that I don't have to eat that stuff. If I hadn't had the surgery, I would eat more than one piece and I would pick at it all the while it just sits there? I don't like that, I like how I can be now.

You Pup are my idol! LOL!!! I know I'm a stress eater so over the past few months since going through the reorg at the job, I admittantly have been eating popcorn like no body's business. This has stalled my weight loss. I have lost 54 total. Really good on the inches, but the pounds...not so much. Could be better tho, ha!

Listen don't stress it so much, I am the same way, I was getting bags of smart pop and munching that, but I would do what I said get a small bowl put just enough to fit in that bowl and then put the bag away. Only eat what i could put in the bowl, and that was it. I then got wicked depressed not too long ago with my birthday that came up, I picked up Cheese puffs, cause they melt in your mouth and they are easy to eat. I was eatting alot of those, I had to tell my fiance to keep them away from me. I think its a good thing you have hiccups all of us, cause that shows hello this isn't going to help if we don't help it. I am happy that I can still eat somethings that I know are not good for me, it just gives me the opportunity to show how strong I can be!!! You can do this!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm working my way through it.

@PinkPolkadot619 2 lbs a week is a good #, believe me I don't loose 3 lbs a week very often anymore cause I am so close to my goal weight, but I am more than happy to take 3 lbs??? lol. @BladeFox Thanks mama!!! It's been a while how are you doing? Haven't seen much from you in a while?

you are so close!!! I am so excited for you! you must be feeling so much better! I know you had a lot to over come during your journey and extra healing. Your journey has been an inspiration and encouragement. I can't wait to have a 3 pound week some time again, I know I just need to do more working out. hehehe I have 28 more pounds so I know my 1-2 lbs a week is still good. I just get scared of stalling.

 

have a good day!

@PinkPolkadot619 I stalled for a good month, but that was also at the time that I had my hernia repair too, which was very discouraging, but I didn't let that stop me, I am now just picking back up and moving along. You can do this just always remember what your reason for going through this was and you will get to the end goal and you will live a better life cause you will be healthier than when you started. Don't look back always look forward!!!

Thanks!!!

Work it!!!

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

@Bandista, that is great that your down to a 12 and ready to go into a 10, I fit into GAP jeans for the first time in my life, not that I am superficial and need only expensive store cloths, I got them from a cousin and so when they fit, I was amazed!!! I love it!!! I am still in a 14, which fits good right now but I know another 20 lbs or so I will be out of those and into a 12 too and then I will have no cloths? I have been hitting the 2nd hand stores when I have a couple extra bucks, and I think I am going to just start buying smaller sizes just to have cause I have enough 14's for now, and then when I am able to fit the lower ones atleast I will have something to wear that will fit? @proudgrammy thanks I think readjusting my goal was the best thing for me right now, and it just makes me realize that I don't have to look at the # in lbs, but I can look at it like whats best for me to be healthy!!!

Pupichupi that's great I'm 5'11 and my hola is 170 but if I get to thin I will reevaluated my goal I have 80 more pounds to go and I'm almost 4 months post opt keep up the great work.

Awesome cupcake!!! Thanks!!!

I know what you mean. I've been there already. Have fun!

Woohoo! Glad to hear your doing so much better lady!

Thanks butterfly

Thanks MissME, I am super excited, and just can't wait for it to get here!!! Thanks BlueMoon~T, sorry I missed you on IM!!!

sending only good thoughts!!!

Thanks Mike, I don't know if I will get any sleep tonight but I am really excited tomorrow is my day!!!

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!

Congratulations! I hope your day of celebration is beautiful.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you!

Congratulations!!! Thrilled for you and your new life!!!

@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!

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!!!

LOL I hope your day and evening gets better.

Don't let the stress consume you Pup!

@BladeFox I try not to let the stress consume me but some days work really can get to me, and I just want to go to the nut house? LOL

Easy, is that a flavor of bubble gum?

@Beni, I wish!!!

I agree.

yeah but butterflypinup, it's wide open, when they took the staples out my whole incision opened and now it's open and it has to heal from the inside out? It looks and is disgusting?

what knee surgery did you have? I have to have a replacement done...someday... but can't afford the time off now ... as for the scar, if you qualify for the free protein and scar cream from Insure Nutrtion, that could help that too

BigGirlPanties, I haven't had knee surgery I won't do it till I lose all my weight to get to my goal, cause they will have to fit me to a knee brace after, I ripped all the cartilage off my knee and ripped my ICL playing sports back when I was young and it never healed and I was always over weight, so I couldn't do it. As for the scar that I am talking about it is the incision I got for my bypass? It's wide open, and I hate it right now, because it restricts me from doing a lot of things?

ask your doc... there should be something you can use

My incisions are itching like crazy and I used Benadryl cream. I am allergic to ANY type of bandage so I've had to use the cream for the rash since day one so, I figured I would use them on my incisions also. One of my incisions is leaking. Like you I had no stitches or staples. I had five incisions and only one of them leaks. It is FINALLY healing to where it doesn't look so gross.

Lorisia, mine still looks gross, I have to keep a gauze pad over it with the paper tape. It leaks alot and so I don't think putting anything on it would be wise yet? Once it's closed which slowly it is healing closed, but I still have like an inch that looks like an eye socket on my belly that is open and leaks? I deal with it though cause I know its getting there?

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!!!

There is no norm, it is by individual. I was down 15 after my first month? So it all goes on individual? I did have a rough start to all of this but I am good and going and going to keep on going now!!! I have my next doc appt next month, and can't wait to see my surgeon to show him how much I have lost.

Nice, keep it up

Thanks I will do my best. LOL, I really just want to hit my goals I set out for myself!!!

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!!!

We're all coming to your party ! Congratulations !

You will make your '0's' I have not doubt about it. I have one more pound to hit my next one and then it's on.

Thanks pink your more than welcome!!! @BladeFox I have no doubt you will hit yours too I know you can do this!!! I love hitting "0's"!!! Its so great!!!
