  1. I was enlightened by a wonderful woman on the VSG group page on FB. For those of you who are going to have surgery with Dr. Zeni...They will tell you not to watch your carbs. I have lately learned otherwise and have been steadily losing weight now.

  2. 65 down....getting closer to being out of the 200's :)

  3. The childhood trauma your speaking of is usually sexual abuse. People overeat so that ppl will not find them attractive as to not be touched etc... a barrier of fat...so to speak. I wish that Ruby on the style network would get the sleeve....along with her therapy.
  4. YES!!!! I am OFFICIALLY 60 lbs down as of TODAY!!!!!! 213 baby!!!

  5. My short term goal....when I hit 198-199 I am going to have Radiesse injected into my forehead and get rid of these wrinkles!!!! Plus, I now fit into one of my fav U2 t-shirts!!!!

  6. You should be so proud of yourself!!!! Good Job!!!!
  7. Nov 29th 2010.....59 down. I'm bad though.....I go through spurts of being really good getting in my protein and other days......not so much.
  8. Was able to post some pictures into my gallery. It wouldn't let me at 1st. It's hard to look at my pics 59 lbs ago. I can't believe I did that to myself :(

  9. You look great!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
  10. 1 more pound until I hit my 60 mark!!!!! Some days this is still hard to believe...

  11. AZ trip was FANTASTIC!!!! I went to Sedona and for the first time did not have a hard time walking up to the Chapel of the Holy Cross :) Back to the treadmill....

  12. Got my treadmill from HSN today....I freaking LOVE it!!! I didn't love the 3 hrs it took to put it together though..lol. Bless my Husband for all of his help.

    What kind of treadmill do you have?

    I just bought a ProForm StepUp Personal Trainer Treadmill from HSN for $699.....it is $1200 treadmill. You can do 5 monthly pmts of $139.99 and it's free shipping right now (saves you an additional $125.00). It has a 300 lb. weight limit. Check it out....I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting mine

    Um... endowment?

    Lol.....good for you!!!

    Um... endowment?

    Yeah, when my Husband gained weight his manhood decreased. I believe the fat pad is called a "turtle"...lol. He was definitely more endowed when he was thinner. My pad has gone down as well and sex is definitely more gratifying. Sex is always better when your thinner...period.

    Awesome..thanks!!! I will have to give it a try when I go back to costco. Anything to make my life a little easier I'm all for...
  17. Anxiously awaiting my new treadmill. I waited because I never found one I liked until now. Plus, HSN had free shipping so it saved me something like $125. I'm hoping it gets here before I go on vacay.

  18. I'm glad it went well. He's such a nice guy and a great Surgeon!!! Lots of info in the class and they take ur before pic. They also give you your VSG bible. I ripped all of the bypass stuff out to keep it simple. Scope is easy..u won't remember a thing. It's getting closer and I'm excited for you!! Your going to love it :) I'm doing well. Starting to have skin issues so time to tone up!!!

  19. I went through the EXACT same thing as you. I am almost 4 months out and it does get better. You will have REAL food again...promise The 1st 6 weeks is pure hell when your a foodie prior to surgery. My taste buds and sense of smell is still heightened. I don't/won't eat certain things now because they simply don't agree with me anymore. It is all a process and you are half way there!!! I at one point chewed up a piece of pizza and spit it out during this stage just cuz I wanted to CHEW something!!!! I use strictly unflavored Unjury and the best thing to mix it with is V8 DIet/Light Fusion....or V8 Diet Splash. It still has a slight chemical-ness to it but not bad. The chocolate/vanilla flavored anything makes me wanna puke...even now. Another good protein product is Isopure Smoothies from GNC. I get the orange/peach flavor and they are soooo good. They have 32 gm's of protein per bottle. I've been through the vitamin challenge as well....I use the GNC Solotron chewable berry flavored wafers. Plus, I just started a liquid calcium citrate from Costco called Reviva. It is blueberry flavored and has a slight grittiness but not bad. WAAAAYYYY better than the pills. You can mix it with yogurt or just take it as is. I have been losing some hair for the past month and a half. I started on 1,000 of Biotin supplements and had to go to 2,000 and I am seeing some new hair growth. Just some suggestions to make your life a bit easier as time goes on. Hang in there!!!!
  20. How did your appt. with Dr. Zeni go? When is your nutrition class?

  21. Went shopping for my AZ trip....and I bought size 18 everything ;) I haven't been an 18 since the mid 90's. I bI am soooooo excited!!!! Can't wait to start toning this flabby shit up!!!! MY, my, my how things change...LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!! Between 216-217...

    Hi Susanne, I just looked at your blog and I am also on the liquid Calcium from costco. I can't swallow those pills either!!! They make me wanna gag. I am also taking GNC's Solotron chewable Multi-Vitamin wafer's (berry flavored) that are pretty good. Any negatives about the Multi liquid? I was going to try it but decided to wait. Good Luck on the 5K!!!!! You should be sooooo proud of yourself
