Ms skinniness

Congrats! You will be very happy with the results. This is life changing. I love this site, everyone is so caring and considerate of others. Keeps me on the positive side.

Woww that is great weight loss. Keep up the good work. I hope I can loose like that.........

Sorry to hear your having all this difficulty. Things will get better for you.....

Maybe getting back to the basics. Starting with a liquids and drinking protein shakes again. This would be great for a kick start. MissDiva did post something on her about bootcamp to get back on track. Check it out.

Thank you all for all your feedback. I have tried crystal light l time and didn't care for it. I think I'll try it again.

I love the transformation! It's truly inspiring for me. Keep up the great work.

Keep up with your weight loss and try to follow your surgeon's eating plan. When I eat sugar, I start wanting more and more of it. Just a bite is a trigger for me. Stay on track and you will have an even better smile at the end.

Carbonated drinks will expand your tummy.......

I am 11 weeks out. I was only weighing myself every few days until I had a couple ounce weight gain. It freaked my out and made me fearful. I haven't experienced any stalls yet (that I know of). I really appreciate the feed back.

Congrats! This fantastic news.... Keep up the good work and looking forward to your successes.....

My prayers are with you. Best wishes and give those kids a big gigantic hug when you see them. They are awesome!

I'm having the same situation. I know that I really need to exercise now to tone the new me, but am struggling with doing it. I have the time, I'm just procrastinating. Need to get to it, it's now going to happen on it's own. Have you been exercising? Any thoughts for me would be wonderful.

I'm so happy I didn't have a drain. It sounds so painful and worrisome. Sorry you have to experiene all this when it's not necessary. I hope you heal quickly..

congrats on your new house!

Mommamea; I hope that you decide to not smoke anymore. You have chosen to get healthier and you must have given it up for a while. I know that this is a stressful journey for you, but it's like switching from one addiction to another. Call a friend instead of taking a puff on a cigarette, you will feel better later on. Write something on this site discussing the triggers to taking a puff off a cigarette. I can see you stomping on that urge and being successful. After all, it wasn't easy getting to this surgery. We had to jump through alot hoops and then some. The decision lies in your hands.... Happy New Years!!!

I love reading men's stuff.... Keep it up! LOL

Good Job!

go girl!!!!!

my surgeons told me I can not take enteric aspirin due to the possibility of getting a stomach ulcer.

Hummmmm, I found myself eating vegetables now. Never could before.

So beautiful!

Don't give up on yourself. If your hungry all the time, it may be that you have alot of acid in your stomach. Check with you surgeon to see if you can take a PPI (prilosec). I was always hungry and I started taking prilosec and I'm not hungry anymore. How many calories are you consuming on your liquid diet? Are you getting enough protein? Are you exercising at all, like walking? Have you lost inches? Hang in there, it will happen..... Kaiser educated on the dangers of drinking of alcohol. Some weight loss patients have died from drinking alcohol. How manydrinks they had, I don't really know. Also, alcohol can contribute to weight gain.

It does give you a reality check. It is painful to see someone you know and care about have this horrible disease. Your body is no where like her body and it is hard to say if this is a warning. I am so sorry you have to go through this. Your fears are normal and I had these fears also. I did it anyways. Best wishes! Please keep us informed.

I count all those things as fluid intake. I just weight myself and i actually gained 6 oz. I am at a stall right now and looking for ways to switch up my diet also. I am going to start increasing my exercise now. LOL this is what I should have been doing all along

I'd like to get my own office and increase my client list. Lose the last 25 lbs. and exercise on a daily basis.... walking, gym,
