MC Heather, I like that name I think that should be your new name at leasst until you get new scrubs and post a picture of yourself in the old & new...

Sorry about your sis, I know it was sd b4 but hopefully she'll more up the list fast.

Okay, about the pants...They were the only clean pair of jeans I had that day, I thought they still fit as I had not had them on in a while. I put them on, came out of the trailer and all the guys (we were at a bachelor party) started laughing hysterically. We than went on a ride to the lake and when we got there my hubby sd "I thought you had a watermelon in your pants when you stood up they stuck out so far". Needless to say I had 2 pairs of those pants with me so we burned one pair in the camp fire that night and I kept one to remind me of how I never want to look that way again. (Sorry I know it was a long story):biggrin:

Mini, We are going to Cancun in October for fall break. That has been my big motovation. Can you find me a deal on airfare? I have the timeshare set up but keep procrastingating on the airfare.

Try getting the last 25-30 pounds off...THAT has been torture. Hopefully the fill I just had put in will get the scale moving again!!

Brandy -- I totally agree with you on the last 20 lbs. That has been the hardest ot get rid of. I have been lazy these last 2 weeks though, with vacations and such. No working out and eating out all the time. You look amazing though and need to keep reminding yourself of that. You have come such a long way and you are an inspiration to all of us. Keep your head up and remember we are MILF's and need to be proud.:biggrin:

Hello ladies (do we have any guys on this Dr. K. group??)

Birthday was very fun. For those of you in Denver, Moondance Botanicals on Corona and 6th does wonderful girls night out spa parties, either foot spa or facials. We did a herbal foot soak, foot scrub, foot mask, then foot massage. Lots of fun!

Mal, I"m so sorry about your son's friend - I sent you a private message.

Denise and Dee, you both look awesome. So inspiring to see your hard work paying off.

Heather, I can't wait to be you and have scrubs that are too big. Right now my large's are too tight, and even the XL do not have much extra room in them. I get so hot and sweaty at work, can't wait to get this weight off and move around more easily.

My consult with Dr. K is one week from today. I can hardly wait to get going already!!!!

Congrats, Lap!! That's fabulous!!

MC Heather - too too funny. Do do do-do, do do do do-do, Heather time!

I'm thinking of a new movie "the sisterhood of the baggy pants". About a group of lapbanders .. .

Mini, that is hysterical!!!!! They would have to be baggy jeans with an elastic waist - I can only imagine Erma Bombeck writing a funny column about that idea.

Patty, great job on your progress!!!

Deb had asked me if I was on low carb yet for Dr. K. At what point before surgery does he ask you to start that? Should I be doing it now? Any rules about the diet, or just "low carb"?

You're hilarious!

We were just talking on OH how now that we've lost weight - we are able to pull our pants up over our breasts! ARGH! YIKES! We all feel like Steve Eerkle (sp?)

Nerds to the max!

One of the hospitals here has a "Traveling Pants" exhibit for WLS patients. They have their actual pre-WLS pants and their current pants! It was pretty neat!

The length of time on the pre-op diet - according to his website - or at least when I had my surgery was dependent upon your BMI. I had to be on it for 14 days prior to surgery.

Basically it's ZERO carbs. You can have most veggies except Potatoes and I'd avoid corn too. Protein (meat) and Veggies! No other restrictions.

That was my diet and as long as it hasn't been changed since January, that will be yours too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
