I like PB2 but it is grit-ty . Havent found the Torani any where.

Sorry that you have had such a hard time...not only are you not a big baby but you are super strong...you have been dealing with pain everyday since surgery. Take good care of yourself...please keep us posted and let us know how you are feeling.

lyn~saying a prayer that everything goes well. Take care of yourself the next few weeks and remember to get up and walk as soon as you can and walk, walk, walk, then sip, sip, sip.

Love it!

I think of myself as a quick loser. I had surgery about 4 months ago and I have lost 77.5 pounds and have 14 pounds until I get to my goal weight. I have strictly followed my nutritionist’s diet. I have not eaten anything that I was not allowed to. I do not feel like I did before surgery when I would diet. I seldom feel like eating anything. Occasionally, I wish I could eat something that I remember tasting so good. That is just head hunger and the moment passes quickly. I think even the head hunger is better now that I have learned how to eat in the real world. By that, I mean I have learned what I can order when I am out with my family and friends. I have learned what to grab on the go. I have PCOS and I know that my body does not do well with Carbs. I loved carbs pre surgery but I am doing just fine with just a few crackers a week now (before it would have been more like a box in one sitting). I work at keeping my carbs under 30 a day. It works great for me.

Wow my doctor was very cautious...2 weeks clear fluids...2 week full fluids...mushies until 6 weeks...solids (proteins only) until 8 weeks.

That is great! You got so much done. I am glad you did not waste the day in your house. Sounds like you enjoyed every minute.

Sophia~ Wow girl hike the Grand Canyon that is amazing! I cant think of a better way to celebrate all you have accomplished. Congratulations you have done an amazing job!

I stayed 3 days. We live 3 hours from the hospital so they kept me an extra day. I was ready to go on day 2.

Good NSV...good thing you kept it in a safe place! Have a great time at the concert.

Wow! Great to hear from someone so far out.

Saying a little prayer that everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow. Just remember to sip constantly and walk as soon as they let you get up. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk.

It really does get better! hang in there...

Oh yes this was a big goal for me too! I have been using that weight for a long time always wondering if the people who looed at my license are like " yeah you wish lady". Good for you!

I am almost 4 months out and just had my first whole wheat tortilla with taco meat and cheese last week. I ate about 1/2 of it.

I have dreams all the time about eating something I shouldnt. I had them weekly right after surgery not as often now. I had a dream recently that I took a huge gulp of soda out of a straw at a resturant and then felt very sick. I have put things in my mouth to taste it while I was cooking and spit them out as soon as I realized it. But the best was the day before surgery when you can have nothing but clear fluids, I took the Lord's Supper at church with out thinking about it and then completely freaked out that the doctor would cut open my stomach and find the tiny wafer and grape juice. Glad I am not the only one who has these crazy thoughts.

Yeah you!!!! I so want to run a 5K!

kkmommy and Heather- good luck to you both kkmommy- Heather did a good job of explaining what happened to me...with the exception of having a hard time with the iv because I was so dehydrated from the bowel prep. It seemed like start to finish was just seconds but it was hours. You do well. See you on the losers bench.

Praise the LORD! I had read that this was a goal of yours and I am so excited for you. I will add you to my daily prayers. Please keep us posted with the growth of this blessing!
