When You Need Motivation Or Have Qs I'm Happy To Help :)

I'm open to help, assist, butt kick, pat you on the back... all that.

I absolutely believe in this tool with all my heart! It has done for me what I couldn't do for myself nor even the lap band was able to do for me either. It was the best find and I can't say enough how it's given me my life back!!!

I won't say I know everything, because I DON'T! But in my career I always say, if I don't know the answer - someone else does. I'd like to open the discussion for anyone who needs someone to listen or to answer those millions of questions that come with this life altering surgery.

Blessings to all!!! Your dreams are at your doorstep now with the VSG. :)

Hi LilMissDiva please give me your input or anyone else tonight I ate 2 boiled eggs & the thing is th second egg never made it past my chest & then I threw up. I wanted to see if anyone else has these issues please help me I abhor throughout up

Hi there neek, eggs can be one of the tough foods for some sleevers. Two was just too much. Next time work on only one. Pain in the chest and subsequent vomiting means you overfilled your tiny tummy.

If you notice your stomach is giving you issues today, go on liquids for 24 hours to give your sleeve some recovery time. Take it slow getting back into solids.

Take care! :)

Thanks lilMisDiva I know for a fact you are right & I will never do that again. I was so desperate to get all my protein in I over did it. I was sore today but I made it through. Talk with you soon I'm sure :-)

Hating what you can't change or can't control is like giving power to a brick wall. Instead spend your energy fixing and working on what you can: Yourself. Be better, every day.

A true test of strength is the ability to recognize your weaknesses and apply them in such a way it will make you a better person. And just when you think you dont have the strength for one more moment of trial, GODs blessings are right next door. Always keep fighting. No matter what, because without great trials to make us who we are today, we will not be strong enough for tomorrows battles. Learn it, know it. LIVE it.

I will always walk in the direction of the Sun. When I look back I want the footprints I laid to be a testament to my journey toward the light.

True Happiness, Beauty, Loveliness, Power, Graciousness, and Sexy is a state of mind, and a strong mind doesn't need validation. Take care of yourself, inside THEN out. Be good to yourself, and each other.

Forgiveness of the self and allowing MYSELF to just be myself. Mistakes will be made, I am but human. The only thing I really can do with those miss-steps is to get up the next day and with a positive beginning, make it better than yesterday. I always take yesterdays hard lessons and make it for a greater and more successful day today.

"Honey, stop wishing your life away. Before you know it, you'll be praying to have all those days back when you're as old as I am." ~Random Wise Old Lady. I was having a conversation several years back with a stranger. I mentioned I couldn't wait for Friday because the week was dragging. Just one of those moments you never forget.

For me and my core it's always been good old calisthenics. If you're looking for a good DVD look up Shaun T. Anything by him will get your core looking flat and ripped!

If you're searching for someone or something to motivate you to get moving in the right direction, go take a look in the mirror. NO other person has the power to make your body move... to put the right foods in your body... to tell you that you're worth it... but YOU.
