I survived my nephew's b-day party so far today, and we're gearing up right now for a superbowl party. Everything is already done, so it will just be a matter of relaxing and watching the game... DH has done a LOT to help me, so hugs to him. :)

Anybody here? I just spent the hour catchingup.

Sounds like you guys are still fabulous. I'm doing well. Down 46 on good days. scale hasn't moved since December and gained 1,5 with superbowl chowdown.

I have 3.6 in 4cc band still no issues with PB or vomit. I'm going on a cruise in July so need to work extra hard to loose 30lbs by then. I need all your encouragement.

I'm here, too!

Look at it this way, Skinny, you can SO do this, if you break it down, you'll need to lose 1.5 lbs a week, and you'll be on target!

I'm almost back from the dead now. I've got a nasty cough and a terrible headache, but I think I might live.

I CAN ALMOST SHOP IN A REGULAR STORE RIGHT OFF THE RACK ! I'M SO EXCITED.:cursing: IT REALLY DOES FEEL GOOD TO SEE ALL OF OUR HARD WORK PAY OFF. I REALLY DON'T EVEN MISS EATING OUT ANYMORE - I GUESS I'M CHEAP, BUT I HATE PAYING MUCH FOR SOMETHING I CAN ONLY EAT A FEW BITES OF. MY WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT food HAVE CERTAINLY CHANGED.

Happy Valentines Day girls !:mellow: I had my 7th fill yesterday. It was ok except my dr. had to leave for an emergency and I saw a different doc. He was a little rougher. He got me on the first poke , but caused quite a bit of bleeding. Had to use a big gauze pad to get it to stop. So my belly is a little sore today. All of us in for fills had to see a nutritionist together in a class. What a waste of time - "eat your protien and take you vitamins". I've pretty much figured that one out in the past year !:cursing: At least I had time for a little shopping afterwards. Bought my family "Krispy Kreme" do-nuts. They looked great, but I knew better. lol !

Have a great V-Day with your loved ones !:wub:

Talk to you soon !

Whew, that was rough. I've had the flu now for 2 weeks. What I thought was a cold got better for a few days, then hit me last week with a VENGEANCE. What a nasty little bug that is. I'm still coughing and sniffling, but I'm upright (but still exhausted) and back at work because I just could not miss any more days before being put on FMLA, which I'd rather avoid if at all possible. I just hate doing the paperwork for it.

I hear that the entire country is being ravaged by this one, seemingly all at the same time, which is unusual. The CDC says it usually spreads east to west over the course of several weeks, but this season it's just been BAM! everywhere...all at once.

Yeah I am trying lol.

I need spring to hit here so I can get outside and ride. I am so stir crazy from being inside and have all but given up working out indoors. Since I don't plan on getting my plastics done until Octoberish I have a bit of time to lose the rest.

And you are pretty close yourself Miss Skinnyjeans!

      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.
