Hi Who did you go too? What was the experience like?

Yeah! I know you are excited. I like the Premier shakes that you can purchase from Costco. I've tried most of the protein shakes and Premier is one of the better tasting options. I tried Muscle Milk. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. Good luck with your surgery date!

I have the same problem with sugar foods. Like the cakes, cookies, and icecream. Even with the lap band its taken me 5 years after surgery to realize I just cant have them in my house. I have 10 more pounds to go and I believe these foods have always been my down fall. I too am a sugar addict.

Wow,congrats on your success! I really needed to hear a positive voice tonight! Im 12 days to sleeve, and the nerves, the doubt, the fear are all kicking in! Happy to read a happy sleever who is kicking' ass and takin' names! You rock!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! good for you! I would love to try Zumba but I am older than you and the body is not in great shape.

As if I didn't think you an amazing light and a gift to my presence before... This blog clinches it. You should be cloned. xoxo

I plan on plastic surgery as well. Definatley breast augmentation and getting the loose skin taken off my abdomen. However, even with out surgery-- and even though I don't really want loose skin-- it to me will be better than having fat rolls to live with. I will be able to hide most of the skin issues with clothes. AS long as I am healthy--- I will be grateful. Loose skin will not prevent me from doing all the things that fat has all these years. I always have had muscular legs- thank goodness. Keep us posted.

Wow! Assume much? I work full-time teaching, have 4 kids which requires me to be at either the soccer fields or football fields 4 days/week usually chasing my 2yr-old, church 2/wk, finishing my Master's, cub scouts every wk, n I have my own business. i'm VERY active n assumed i would lose a bunch going from recovery to full-on life, but no. Plz remember EVERY body IS different. I'm looking for others in my situation who may be able to offer insight. Ur comment was simply judgemental.

What makes you think she's "on the couch"? Even at 360 pounds for ME exercise was NOT the problem.. the problem was in the kitchen! When someone would give me advice like "oh just walk around the neighborhood for half an hour" or my personal favorite "park in the furthest parking spot" I'd just look at them with a really confused look.... and say...."so you mean if I just park in the furthest parking spot, that will help me more than my 15 mile weekly hiking/walking schedule?"
