Aruba?! Sounds great to me!! At six weeks, you should be at least on soft solids and I imagine that Aruba will have tons of great seafood for you to try! Concentrate on your Protein and getting your Water in and you should do great.
I'm jealous of your vacation! Enjoy!!

So, I went in today for my six month check up with my doc...even though I'm already 7 months plus post-op. He gave me a graph of my BMI and weight loss since my first visit with him. The graph was eye-opening! I think I'm stalled, but his graph shows that I'm losing steadily.
After I asked my questions, including for a copy of the video of my surgery, he asked me a few questions. He gave me some samples of different brands of bariatric Vitamins for me to review for him and asked that I let his office know if I like them. I'll do that over the next month.
Then he asked me if I'd mind answering a few questions online for him. I thought he was asking me to take some kind of online survey at first, but as he went on I realized that he wants me to answer questions for visitors to his website! WOW! I'm so flattered to be asked and, of course, I am more than willing to do that!
From what he said today, I've already exceeded his expectations for my weight loss and fitness level and he mentioned that I'm staring 100 pounds in the eye. He expects that I will be well over 100 pounds lost when I go back at the end of July for my 1 year check up. My anniversary isn't until the end of August, but to accomodate both or our schedules, I have an appt nearly a month early.
I've mentioned before that I think my surgeon is the bomb and he proved it to me again today! In just that short appointment, he managed to make me feel wonderful about my progress insteadof the frustration I've been feeling for a few weeks. He also explained a few different things to me about what to expect going forward. That really made me feel better about the next stage of my journey.
I was worried that I am out of the "losing" stage and now am into the "have to work really hard at it" stage. I want to be his poster child for the sleeve and he assured me that I already AM a poster child for the sleeve because of the loss I've had so far and how hard I am working at my weight loss. He also told me to expect big losses over the next few months, both because of the sleeve and because of my newly formed exercise habits.
I'm feeling pretty awesome tonight, especially for a sleever who went in fully expecting to find out that my results are disappointing. I'm actually pretty far ahead of the curve!

As of yesterday, I am down 25 lbs and could get into some cute capris that were way too tight before surgery (3/27). Today I put on my pants for church and they are loose now too. Makes not having the Easter candy so worth it!

Just got out of the shower and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I was able to wrap my towel around myself, secure it (like a dress, kind of), and be completely covered!!! So stinkin' excited!!

I always wanted to tell them, "No, It isn't an easy out, just like your learning to mind your own business isn't easy, either."

Whoo hoooo!! Yes go back and get the smaller size!!!! You will be in it before you know it!!!!!!!!

You look awesome. I have my sugery in two days. I hope to be as successful as you!

Ok so my brothers wedding is in September and I am a bridesmaid ....I purchased a dress in size 20 back in December of last year....I waz sleeved on 2/21/12....so I had to exchange it for a smaller size...the girls at the bridal place wanted me to try on dresses to see where I am at. After hesitation I agreed to...guess what...I fit into a size 16!!! It zipped almost all the way up!!! So I ordered a 12...September is 6 months away!! Hehehe! Then I figured I would head over to lane bryant for a new bra....I was a 42 DDD.....they said I am now a size 36 DD!!!!!! Holy crap! No more shopping in the fat chick stores for bras!!! So I saved my 50 plus dollars I would have spent on bra and undies there and headed to walmart....I hot bra and underwear for $12!!! Today was a great day!!!

okay, since it's flame free Friday. I'm really enjoying all the new attention I've been getting. Dates Wed, Thurs and Fri this week, all with different guys...none of them are the soon to be ex hubby. STB Ex has called daily and wants to pay some attention to me NOW. You know, now that I've lost weight, have more energy and more self-confidence to call him on his crap. Is it mean that I just keep saying NO?

I just pureed two strawberries and one kiwi....added a scoop of pure protein strawberry flavor....man was it good!!!! Great way to get in that protein and satisfy a sweet tooth!

I had my surgery in August 2010 and today I have lost my hundredth lb! Now weighing 116lbs

Congratulations! That's awesome. Can you share with us how much exercise & what a typical day's food is like? I'm a newbie and so far it's been really slow. Did you have a lot of hairloss?

button fly levis!!

I was sleeved on 2/21/12.....as of today I officially weight less than my husband!!! And my wedding band fits again!!!!

My doctor says no smoking....period....i used to be a smoker, and the way i kicked the habit is when i stopped, I stopped cold turkey and I just had to tell myself when i felt the urge to smoke that this is as bad as the urge will get, if i give in now i will only have to go through this feeling again..do you really wanna relive the first few days of not smoking ever again? The answer for me was HELL NO!!!! I am smoke free for 4 years now!
