Glad im not alone ! LOL

I wish u all the best , and one day u can look back at this and remember all you have been thru and then see how far u have come !!!You are in my thoughts and prayers kiddo !

thanks for the info !!!! i know ....my neck can definatly tell ...and i am super self consious of it ....i am 41 and had my surgery dec 8 ...ive lost 51 lbs so far and have so much more to lose and i possibly see a neck lift in the future too!!!my sweet fiance is being so sweet to buy me a boob lift when all my weight comes off ....praise the lord....these suckers are really starting to sag !........and ....if u can tell a much bigger difference when u finish this jar , it would be good to know !!!

I went out with the girls 7 weeks out and I did drink! I had three mixed drinks.....a bay breeze,coconut rum and pineapple,and a Bahama mama.....i was surprised I was not plastered after the 1st but I wasn't.but let me tell u.......i had acid reflux for 3 days and could feel the acid in my tummy and in my throat.....it was not pleasant and scared the **** outta me!!! The three days of worrying was not enjoyable at all!everybodys body is different.. .and I now know what it feels like!

i have been eating solids for many weeks now ......as far as exercising goes .......thats a whole nother story !! LOL!

what are some good questions to be asking ?????

i made these a few weeks ago and did not add water to it after i mixed it up to roll into balls .....it was VERY VERY crumbly and dry and when i bit into the balls they crumbled everywhere ...real pain ....then i read where u need to add water to mix them up and form into balls ......DUH!!!!!!!..........lol!!!!think i'll try em again and add water this time !!! lol!!

ok....i am going to world market tommorrow to get a bottle or two of syrup. i generally use choc. or vanilla protein powder because they are so versatile. what is your favorite flavor of syrup and what do u use it in ?? Recipes appreciated ! .............also.i have picked up some s.f syrups at dollar tree .......are they as good ??they are not torani and i havent tried them yet .......

.................if u go to their website , and request ...they will send u 2 free bars !!!!

they look yummy !!!!!!i think aldis has some goooooood sf spreadable fruit that would be yummy on those !

i believe in Tn they are almost 17!

when i was on pureed i put in a blender .......3 turkey meatballs 2 t ricotta chz,and 1/2 small can tomato sauce .........yummy!or .....instead of the sauce add 1/2 c turkey gravy !!!!

thank u !!!

lol!!!!.....i know ...before my surgery dec 8 i was drinking like 2 lg mcdonalds sweet tea every day. my mom would always get on me saying thats why i was getting so fat. then i noticed it on the billboard one day that a lg has like 260 cals!!!!!!! yikes !!!so i have aquired a taste for splenda now and it is gooooood!!!

where do u find this stuff ? never heard of it !Is it in liquid or powder foem?

i know this sounds crazy ....but i wanna lose some hair !!!!!I do hospice care and have told my patients '"if i could give you some of my hair and some of my fat , we would both be happy !!!" lol!!!.........i have enough hair on my head for 3 people...no joke !!!! i want a cute hairstyle soooooooo bad but its pointless because i can never wear my hair down , because its so heavy it goes down in my face , so i wear it pulled into a ponytail 99 % of the time. when i heard hair loss could be a factor with this surgery i was beyond excited!!!!YEE HAWWW i get to lose some fat AND maybe hair too !!!

............ok, what may i ask is pirates booty????LOL!!! Keep the ideas coming !!!!I am tired of eating lunchmeat, string cheese and yougart !! LOL!

i agree with ya !!! that chocolate was nasty !!!! Too sweet to even drink ....

ok......i quit smoking a month before my surgery date dec 8.i dont know if my sences have heightened or what , but just hearing the sounds in the kitchen of my fiance is driving me beserk......like on my nerves berserk........you know, like the can opener , bags rumbling, crunching of food , gulping of drinks ,,etc.....it bothers me so bad that i always end up leaving and going into another room .does anyone else know what im talking about ?????

puttin my 2 cents in !!! hang in there !!!My fiance really did not want me to have the surgery either . he prefers "chunky" girls!lol!...now that the weight is coming off....oh boy!!he is lovin it and cant take his hands off my curves !!!! u need to go ahead with your decision and once its done its done .your wife is worried im sure , but assure her in the long run she will be glad u did it . it is soooooooo great to walk alongside my bf and not huff n puff anymore!!As far as meals ...he fends to himself...and is glad to do so !!!Things will get better, but im sure she may have some insecurities of her own.best of luck to ya !!!

i know how u feel !!!!! i made it to wonderland myself this wknd as well !!!!! doin the happy dance !!!LOL!!!

dont give up!!!!!!!lol!!! i was sleeved dec 8 . lost the 1st 2 weeks then stalled for a whole month!!!!!!:(stayed at 203-208 the entire time ...back n forth....then this past wknd i got on the scale and it read 199.4 !!!!i was so freakin excited !!! It will happen!!!i was thinkin im one of the few that will just completley stop losin ...but the scale is moving once again !!!!! i have noticed tho, i ve been drinkin more..at least 2 shakes a day plus h2o and gettin in lotsa small protein meals ! i am postin some before / afters so far .....i am soooo happy !

it sure does !!!! i love love love it !!! it crushes ice in 2 seconds !!!i was surprised at how powerful it is and being blended int0o a tall shaker bottle would it blend very thoroughly???the answer is yes !!! My fiance and i use it on a daily basis......so if you are a cheapass like me ...lol....dont spend 800.00 on one when a 30.00 one will do the same thing !!!
