  1. Hi guys it's been a long time since I visited the site. But i have found myself very discouraged and upset with myself. I have lose 90 pounds and have been eating and starting up bad habits that I had gotten rid of. My husband doesn't want me to lose any more weight so i've been sabotaging myself. But I am very unhappy with the fact that the my weight loss has stopped because of my bad habits. I decided Friday that I will start eating better, but have found it hard to follow. I am open to any advice that I can get. I am asking for help please. I weight 169 from 261 but I want to get down to 150, I will take any and all advice. will start visiting the site more for encouragment and support.
  2. I just hit my 3 month anniversary and I'm down 56 pounds. I am going to start exercising everyday and I started walking 2 miles a day. My only concern is the extra skin that I have. But I ffeel awesome I have no regrets for having the surgery. Started craving pickles and no i'm not pregnant. Plus things that are salty is anyone else having these cravings?

    My Doctor was Dr. Braggs and I love hime. He is very supportive and encouraging. I went to Kaiser Richmond and my surgery was on June 13,2011, I've lost 46 pounds. My sister in-law just had surgery this past Tuesday and she had my surgeon. Good luck on your surgery.
  4. Well I went to the doctor yesterday for my follow up appt after my surgery. It's been 7 week and I have lost 41 pounds, my BMI is 39 and I feel great. I no longer take any diabetes meds or blood pressure meds. My doctor is very happy with the weight loss and how good my heart is doing. This was the best decision i could have ever made. I played ball with my kids and went riding on a couple of roller coasters this past weekend and it's been many years since I road a roller coaster. I thank all of you for your blogs because it helpped me make the best decision for my life. Keep up all the good work everyone.

    Hi, Well i'm on my 3-4 weeks pureed food and I do not eat baby food. I prepare all my meals and it is easy, I use can chicken and canned tuna with mayo and eggs and season the way I like. I make mashed potatoes with gravy. I have a small processor and a larger one. But i only use the small one. Make sure u prepare enough for a couple of days. Keep sugar free popsicle in the freezer. I have bought mashed Pot from Kentucky and Popeyes chicken. Good Luck it will be fine. I am 43 pounds down and was sleeved on June 13.

    :rolleyes:Hi Everyone, Well I had my surgery on Monday @1045am am by the Grace of God and your Prayers everthing went well. Sorry it took me a little long to update i wasn't near my computer. Well I feel great, I haven't had to take the pain meds since I left the hospital Tuesday afternoon and it's now Thursday. I've been walking and breathing to pass the gas and it's working. I did something I said I would not do and that is stepped on a scale. LOL I lost 6 pounds already all fluid but I still fealt good. I will be starting stage 2 foods tomorrow and i'm not sure if i want to try cream of wheat or applesauce. But I have no choice. Thanks everyone for the support that you give on this site. I don't comment much but I read the blogs everyday and it helped me with my surgery.
  11. Well Hi Everyone, it is the night before my surgery and I starting to get a little nervous. I know I'm making the right health decision for myself just praying everything goes well. I just had my last white rice dinner with mushroom chicken and I enjoyed it. My kids were just sent to my aunts house for the next few days and I gave them a very long kiss goodbye. I am asking that you say a little prayer for me as you say your goodnite prayers,. I will write on Tuesday when I am released from the hospital. I Will be speaking to you later everyone.
