I am a 1/2 marathon finisher!!! I can't believe I made it the whole 13.1 miles in 3 hours and 25 minutes!

on the Biggest Loser they lose 70 pounds in 3 weeks. It took me 3 months.

6.9 pounds to goal... these last 10 are the hardest ever! I am low carbin it this week. Lots of water and protein to try to jump start this!

I'm doing better. I'm feeling good enough to start being grouchy. hahaha. I'm have a Picc line for intravenous antibiotics for the next 2 weeks. Yuck. BUT I have lost 30 pounds. sigh. hahahaha

That is great!!! I am donig well. how much are you eating in one meal? im eating about 3-4 oz, probably could eat more :/

hi Orangina, My Insurance approved me the same day, Oxford Freedom, I don't know your insurance but they usually can get approval fast if your bmi is 40 or above. Today I started my modified fast. 3 protein shakes and a low fat meal. really not so bad. The protein I'm using is not so great. The one you had sounds good, maybe I'll check out gnc tomorrow. thanks for the tip.

I hope you guys are doing good! One week and you are gonna love it!

Hi MeMeMee - How are you doing this week? I'm having trouble getting all of my protein in. I can't go to bed until like 10pm because I have to stay up and drink some Unjury Chicken soup broth for the rest of my protein for today. Vitamins are sucking too. I'm only getting in 3 of the 5 I'm supposed to be taking. Let me know how you are doing so I don't feel so friggin alone.

I want to meet Hector! Sally is about 9 weeks old now a real spitfire she's a Manx? Tailless. No one claimed her so much to my husband's horror we now have 5 cats!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

I'm new to the forum, and new to the bariatric world. I'm a virgin in the subject as well. I have been researching and reading literally since yesterday and attended a seminar just last night by a surgeon in the Pembroke Pines area (Dr. Jeremy Gallego Eckstein), speaking of the 3 different surgeries, pros and cons. I had sworn I would NEVER do th...

Well by the end of last week I lost those two pounds. I think I may stall or lose slow over the nest couple of weeks before my secret weapon arrives. Also, my PCP doc is having me come in for some testing. I may have low T. If so she may prescribe a topical treatment. That will hyper-accelerate fat loss but preserve all of my lbm. I'll wait on that because I don't really want 240lb of lean mass.

I hit my three-week stall. Actually gained two pounds. Not even discouraged. I may lose those by weeks end. No pun intended but I'm looking at the big picture. In time I'll be right where I need to be.

I'm okay... tired!! Been working too many extra hours at work for the last 3 weeks... I need to go eat!!!

Oh I do! Do you know why they make this 6 week liquids

Did ya bust through your stall? I figure if there ever is a stall revert to a full liquid diet for a couple of days and see if that kick-starts some more losing! Keep up turning your Wishes into Reality!!!
