I have a real man, he does everything a man is subpose to do. We still after 27 years still walk hand in hand. He always open the door and closes it as well. He tells me everyday since we got together that I am beautiful. He loved me small and then big and now medium and eventually small again. I know I am lucky. There are still very good men out there in this world and I am sure one day your paths will cross, just be ready to see him when it happens. Good luck

I am going to have to try it. I miss my carbs sometimes. Hopefully I will like it and it can replace what I miss. Thank You

What would you compare the taste to. Ex: like rice or brown rice?

I read the post about your sister and I teared up. Even though she had a short life, she lived every moment to the fullest. I hope and pray that I can live like she did and leave something so positive for everyone to remember me by. Thank you for posting, I cant wait to finish your story.

You are one haut momma!!! Such a beautiful person inside and out! You truly are a great inspiration for so many of us who want to follow in your foot steps. And girl those curves you have would make Kim Kardashin (sp?) jealous!!!!

Kelli, you have done great so far! Over 100lbs in a year that is awesome. There is nothing else out there that can do this for you. I believe you have it in you to make it to goal. Pull yourself back up by your bootstraps and start over. As for the biopsy my prayers are with you. I wish you the best and great success, keep us updated and let us know how you are doing.

I would do it all again in a heart beat.The day of surgery and probably the 2 weeks following I had buyers remorse like so many. I did not realize the pain was going to be so bad, I did not realize that I would be upset that I could not eat. There are so many emotions you will go through after the surgery. You just have to take it slow and let your body and mind heal, remember everything about you just went through a trauma. Now I am 7 months out and have lost almost 70lbs. I know without this surgery I would not be as happy as I am today. Now as for the liquid diet, it helps also get you ready for what is about to be a big part of your life.I know there are people who are 3 years or more still drinking protein drinks to make sure they get their protein in. Gas X is great for the gas pains you will have, but what works better is moving around to get the gas out. Some people use heating pads and swear that those help them more than anything. I wish you luck and please keep us posted to let us know how you are doing.

Sooooo happy to be able to converse with all my friends. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend

ouch oregondaisy, those are so painful. On fast days we are not to have more than 500 calories. And on non fast days we eat regular. What some of us are doing is having supper around 6:00 at night and not eating again for at least 12 hours. And then during the fast day we only eat 500 calories and stop eating at around 6:00 that night so we have another 12 hours or so fasting. I hope this makes sense. Then the next day is normal again with eating what you normally eat. Just make sure that you have at least 12 hours of fasting in the beginning and ending of your fast day.

lol . It will get fixed in time. I just have to get use to typing again , instead of using only a couple of fingers lol.

I am big on top to. What I did was tighten up the shoulder straps so the girls would not be laying on my incision. Maybe you can put some gauze between your incision and bra and that might protect it a little bit. But while you are at home try not to wear one or wear a sports bra so they can heal without irritation. Good luck.

I have an android and it will not let me in either. It says that I do not have permission to log on lol. I am just going to keep using the computer until I get a new phone, my phone is a Galaxy 1

LOL. I still don't look at my backside yet. Only with clothes on to make sure my top covers my butt. It will get better just got to whip it into shape.

try drinking decaffeinated tea. That way it will not have a diuretic effect on you. As for drinking water , maybe add some lemon or crystal light.Try drinking things at different tempatures also. I had problems as well in the beginning I found out my sleeve only liked room tempature liquids. It will get better just do your best and keep trying.

Cheri, I read your post also about your 3 years anniversary, Congratulations! As I was reading this it reminded me of my daughter. Her husband is in the Airforce and its coming around that time again for his deployment. They live in Kansas with no family up there. All of their family lives in Texas and she is alone when he goes. I always hear the sadness in her voice when she calls. I just want to say Thank You for being a great military wife. I know for a fact it is the hardest job for a wife and mother to do this alone and not knowing how long your loved one will be gone. You my dear are a great inspiration for so many of us on here, if you can do it with all that goes on in your life I know there are no excuses for the rest of us. I don't know if you are religious but I am and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am able to finally post on here wooo hooo lol. my phone is the only thing having the problem now. I will try and get it going on there. Thank you Laura. I missed everyone the past couple of days, I hope everyone is doing ok.

Burleson here just south of Ft Worth. Where Kelly Clarkson in from.

Coops you really look awesome! By the way you have killer legs!

Anyone know the password? I guess I was not invited.

I will forsure be buying some buckle and miss me jeans, that why I am not buying myself clothes now lol. About 50 more pounds to go. I guess I need a belt to hold up these pants for now.

Im 7 months out and still wear some of my toooo big clothes lol. I know they dont fit, I just havent wrapped my head around the idea that this weight is gone forever lol. Plus I dont want to buy more clothes until I hit goal. Hopefully by then I will have saved enough to finally go on a shopping spree lol.

Checking in, fast day here as well. Im down 4 of the 6 lb water gain from sunday. I sure wish it would rain here lol. It has been so hot. As for the group thing that would be great. Lets get this day started my fasting friends :-)

Thanks Laura and Georgia for the pick me up. I think I have got all my water in today, about 20oz more and Ill hit the 110oz for today. I have learned a really big lesson on dehydration I dont ever want to go there again lol. With this hot weather here in Texas it can zap all the fluid out of you in no time. It hit 104 today.
