Eat avocados every day!!! "So the reason that the avocado is such a great food to help you with stomach fat is given here in 5 main points: It contains nearly 20 Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients It contains Oelic acid which helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood It has amazing healing properties in general for the skin, the blood, sexual problems, skin disorders and more It will help to increase your resting metabolic rate which will help you lose stomach fat It tastes great on just about anything!" VITAMINS "Vitamin deficiency can cause hair loss or hair to grow slowly. Avocados are high in vitamins B and E, which work at the cellular level to protect and strengthen hair. Vitamin B is essential for hair growth. Vitamin E helps repair damage on the scalp, which may slow or prevent hair growing. Healthy hair grows half an inch every month. Using avocado in a conditioner or as a hair mask are the best ways to promote regular hair growth."

Thanks! When the PA said to me, "you get to eat ham and egg next week", I got sooo happy....lol... I am tired of the liquids. I been following my diet really well. Maybe I should just eat one sunny side up egg....lol

I was weighing 292 before my pre-op diet, on my 2 wk diet before surgery I lost 16 pounds. Once I had the surgery in the first week I lost 16 pounds. I recommend the surgery! The day of surgery you are in little pain but you have the morphine button and you push when you want the drug. The second day I would say would be the hardest because you have a little nausea from the anesthesia and that is when you get introduced to your liquids. Zip slowly so you won't panic when you begin to burp. I only vomited 2 times on the 2nd day because of the nausea. The gastric juice tube was removed the day after surgery as well. I was told to take a deep breath and on the count to 3 it would be out. I just said owch in low tone, it was just a discomfort feeling. It is 2 weeks and I feel no pain.

Thanks! I am doing great! No pain! I get to eat ham and egg on Tuesday. Yippy! I feel great! It is so worth the surgery.

Thanks! I am really happy!

I forgot to mention that I am weighing 260 pounds from 292, so my total weight loss has been 32 pounds.
