I was in sized 24 and now in a size 18 comfortably. I have one size 16 shorts that I can button and zip but I will not wear them for a few weeks. I like looser clothes. I am so happy I did this. I cant tolerate any hard vegetables yet. Yogurt is a favorite thing for me and I am eating almonds. I drink Protein Shakes and eat Protein Bars with low sugar and high Protein. I cant work out much but I still do it when I can. My fat is changing. I jiggle when I walk or move.

Apparently, I am an idiot at times. LOL! Since this is a secret group, you will not be able to SEE the group until you have joined. So, in the end, I will need you to PM me your e-mail address that you have registered on Facebook to add you. After you have joined, the link will work for you.

Sorry about that. I got too excited, and am still learning this group admin stuff.

Saw my surgeon yesterday. Suggested 1 oz pickle juice twice a day. No more frothing or heart burn and zero nausea! She also scheduled upper GI to check for strictures.

I bought syntrax nectar today lemon tea flavor. Can be mixed directly in 2 to 4 oz of water and taken as a shot. I was able to tolerate that amazingly well. Will definately buy the lemonade flavor next. Being able to get protein in basically a "shooter" is a godsend for me. I get super full on 2 oz of anything including liquid.

Surgeon was concerned because I am in starvation mode and dehydrated again. Just so nauseated and full all the time. With the addition of pickle juice or even sucking on a pickle has made all the difference in the world. I didn't even bother with any nausea meds or reglan today.

Today is my birthday and I weighed in at 197. So I made my goal. Very happy about that. I bought size 16 shorts! Was in a 22 before. Amazing! Best gift to myself ever!

Happy belated birthday and I am so proud of you. Way to go!

Looking good Aline!

Congrats on getting to onederland.
