hey Juli,

Well, I am finishing up some work getting ready for my trip, and than I am off to florida on sat...

I was excited...we went to a store called Goodys today..Leslee had birthday money....and I bought my first pair of HIP jeans.....they are so cool.....they botton, have pockets and everything. I had tried some on last night in the same size, but they wouldnt work...my goal is to get in a pair of Levi's...my all time favorite from the past...

WOOHOOO

On a diffrent note...my 19 year old was home today...OH my...I feel so bad for her. I am giving her my clothes....she has put on so much weight...she is in school full time with 18 credit hours and working 40 hours a week...living on her own, and eating awful.

She has been asking about the lapband but honestly I dont know if they would cover her with her age, etc.

She needs to try and work this out...I hate seeing her this big..it is so sad...and I know what it is like...

But anyway....

Woo hoo on the jeans.

Boo hoo for your daughter. I know they do the band on people as young as 16 and I think 18 is the more common age. It's certainly something to think about and your a good resource as far as how it really impacts ones life. Keep us posted about her.

Hi guys, well it's Monday and I am getting ready to go back to work. What a awesome vacation. I am so glad that I got to meet some of you, it really made for a memorable trip. It will probably take me a few days to get back into a routine. Wish me luck this is the longest I have been away in 8 or 9 years, so there will probably be a liitle bit of work waiting for me.

Good Monday morning to ya!!! Juli, I actually just took yesterday off and did abso-fuckin'-lutely nothing. It was GREAT!! We actually had a game day. We probably played 8 hours of games the whole day. We went and did a bit of shopping, I did my running and then back to games. It was great!! No tv on all day, and we spent some good good quality time as a family together. I know the day is coming really quick when DD doesn't want to be around us anymore. I hate that it happens, but it does. Went through it with son.

HP, congrats!! on the clothes!! That is sooooooo freakin cool!!!! That is too bad about your DD. I know it really hurt my mom to see me at my heaviest. She always thought it was her fault some how. Gosh, I love that woman!!! She is an awesome mom. You sound like you are too. I know I put A LOT of weight on when I moved away to college at 19. A LOT!! And it never came back off.

BG, What size are you wearing at 205? How tall are you? I am 5'7" and I am still wearing a 22 pants or 2x's. SOme things I could wear a 1x if they have a drawstring. Shirts I am still a solid 2x and might not feel comfortable in a 1x for some time. I think the last 2x's I got it said 18-20W. MOst 2x's are 22-24W though, I think.

D it depends on the clothes. Ususally I am wearing about a size 16. Many things in an XL but starting to go into L. Some of my 16's are a little too big. I just got some new scrub pants that are a Large and fit good. They are lime green flare leg and way sexy.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
