Nothing new here, that's why I haven't posted anything. Looking forward to fall break from school. I'm going to Lake Tahoe for three nights (Harvey's casino is flying me and a friend there), then two hours after landing back here, flying to Cancun with three friends from work for a three night stay. Must lose at least ten pounds before that. I've got about three weeks.

Sounds fun! You can lose the 10! Good luck.

Hey, any loss is a good loss. :) How is the fill treating you?? Any restriction yet??? Hoping so. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Hopefully we won't have the same craziness as last week :lol:

I think the fill is starting to kick in. I can still eat more than necessary, but way less hungry. And the scale is down 2 lbs today!!!! :thumbup:

Look forward to seeing you too, thanks again for driving all over Denver to find me!!!!

That tummy is the flattest thing I've ever seen! Are you feeling like it was the greatest thing to do? Any regrets?

You look like you don't even need to lose more! :)

Oh my gosh, Mini, I'm so jealous! You look great. I don't even want to broach the subject of a Tummy Tuck with my husband since it was just last March that we sprung for my band surgery...but your before pictures are more flattering than my belly right now.

Just wanted to come on and say I'm quite nervous right now. My knee surgery is at 1PM tomorrow (for 2 torn meniscus)

It's fairly minor...but still general anesthesia. I just hate that....

Thanks, you're sweet. Nope, no regrets at all. I just can't wait till the swelling is all gone so that I can see the final results. It's just the weirdest thing to see myself in the mirror with this tummy. Blows my mind.

Thanks! Yeah, I taught extra classes all summer to pay for it. I feel really guilty spending all this money on myself, but DH seems to enjoy it just as much as I do!

Good luck, Julie! I am always so scared about the anesthesia, but I know you'll be fine. Let us know how it goes. I'll be thinking of you.

Julie, let me know if you need anything once you get home. I could bring your family some dinner or something.

SO my weight hasn't changed much. I have gained a couple of pounds. I haven't been eating great. I think I am too tight. It is really a chore to eat Protein. I have an appt in one week for a tiny unfil. Have any of you been unfilled by Dr. K before?

Well I wanted to drop in to tell you that I went jeans shopping. Remember at the first of the year when many of us had a signature that said size 9 in '09? Well I tried on several jeans all in a size 9/10. Couldn't believe it. I settled on a pair of cute jeans and went up to a size 11/12. The 09/10 could have fit, but with all my skin and still a little too heavy I had a heck of a muffin top with them. I know I would look amazing in them after a tummy tuck...okay that sounds really conceited, but I just couldn't believe I could pull them all up and button them without any problems.

So I am looking forward to eating solid protein again without so much trouble and the almost daily PBing that I have been having. I also look forward to getting my head screwed back on straight and getting back on the wagon. I am pretty happy with my size now, but another 10 lbs would be blissful!

Yes, the reflux is still there and When do any hot liquids I can feel one spot going down that really hurts. I guess that must still be the swelling. They said give it about 3 weeks before thinking about getting another fill. Let the swelling go down and all. I can eat salads again, which makes me VERY happy! And I can drink my Breakfast Protein Shake cold in about 10 minutes. It used to take 30 and hurt the whole time. I know that I am going to need a fill, but I am going to try really hard to not gain.

I am hoping to just have about .1cc taken out. Did you need a complete unfill?

Down one pound this week. I updated the chart. There are two things I don't like about the chart: I have to hunt for the link through previous posts, and I like to see everyone's progress through posts. OK, I'm probably just lazy.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
