Wow, that is really impressive! Congratulations!!!! That's a very IMPORTANT NSV!!!

I need to have mine checked again. It was still stuck on 5.9 last time, but I'm really hoping it has gone down.

Hey Girl! 5.9 is nothing to sneeze at! I think that's great too!

Yeah, it's okay. I have to really work to keep it there.

No, actually it's really good! It means that you're in good control and that your average blood sugar is running less than 132. That's very good! It's within normal limits.

When you do return to work? How long are you taking off?

Yeah, it was very fortunate timing that I was eligible to apply this year. Otherwise it would have been very difficult to even get two weeks off in a row, since I also teach during summer semester.

I did no dancing. Not sure you could call what the kids did dancing either...more like foreplay. You'd be horrified to see how teenagers dance these days (wow, I sound old). Lots of grinding and they don't ever face each other.

Luckily, all my purchases at Party City were covered by the school.

lol I don't want to know what the teenages are doing my oldest just started high school this year.... yikes!!!!!:biggrin:

My legs appear shorter too, but I think it's because of the hanging skin. If I wear the Spanx and pull everything up where it belongs (I know, bad visual) I fit in a Tall - if not, I need a regular. It's not so good!

I thought I was the only one who had to pull up the stuff in front. If I didn't have all that front end, I know I'd be in wee size pants. Wee size for me that is.

I had an up then down week. Early in the week was a slide up, later in the week I slid right down. So I ended up where I started.

Dee I am waiting with an arm of roses to hear about your procedure. :biggrin:

Hello everyone...its been a long time. How are you dee? Your new picture is beautiful....you look so thin. My weight was stable for awhile and then lost another 5 lbs recently. I still can't believe I am in the 160's. I do wish I could afford a Tummy Tuck. I would like to be on the new challenge but I lose very slow now. I really need to start exercising again. Been bad about that. I guess I could try for 5 lbs for the Halloween challenge. Congrats to everyone on their continued weight loss.

Hey Bella!

I think about you all of the time and wonder how you're doing! I can't believe that you weigh in the 160's. My dream is to be in Onederland.

I have come so far, but I have so far to go that sometimes I get discouraged. I want to start living my life at a healthy normal weight so I'll just keep plugging along!

72 days til my TT and Brachioplasty! I can't wait!

Miss dee, you are such a freakin' rock star. I think when you get your surgeries, you are going to be amazed at how good you look and feel, and how that will give you a whole new burst of resolve. You have done such an amazing job, and the rest of us could take a big lesson from you.

Yep, I was surprised at how much my labs changed after surgery. Still happy to be taking one less pill.

I got stuck tonight. It was annoying, but fortunately whatever it was went through after a bit of cacking. chicken breast is dangerous. I wonder what I missed since I eat chicken breast all the stupid time.

I do Soup and soft meats and really haven't tried anything tough. I do have an addiction to Cookie Crisp. I crave it now. Fortunately, you can eat quite a bit of it for a low calorie count. I am having some oatmeal. I eat a lot of oatmeal, probably extra for the next couple days, just in case. It seems to stick with me and has other benefits. Avoid peaches and cream flavor, yick.

I have to start exercising too. I get some every day, but have to get back into the workout program.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
