i had my surgery dec 8 and have already gone from a 3x scrub top to an xl .......a size 22 jeans to a 16!!!i have literally spent 2 weeks cleaning out 4 closets of clothes and have been washing ,pressing and hanging them up to sell them!!!!i am a clothes hoarder and have invested a lot of time and money in my clothes . most are all name brand and i have had several friends ask already that when i am ready they would like to buy my clothes from me!!!the problem is ..........what the heck do i charge ???? i told them i feel really bad selling them to them but at the same time , i need to replenish my wardrobe!!!! i had mentioned probably close to good will prices .....so ...i would like to get some feedback on how others have sold their clothes ! Any and all pointers are greatly appreciated !!!!!

so u made the pudding up already ??? i am thinking u can use just some of the powdered.mix...... it looks really good!!!!... i make a strawberry cheesecake shake that is yummy i scoop vanilla protein powder 1 cup skim milk 1 tbsp sf cheesecake pudding mix 4-5 frozen strawberries .......... blend it all up .......yummy!

does 3,500 calories still equal a pound ?

hi !!!! i love iced coffe and got the cappucino one..i got a 2lb container and now not sure i really like it . what do u mix your cappucino one with ?

i recently bought some orange/tangerine flavored MIO at big lots....i squirted it in a vanilla shake and it tasted like an orange creamcicle !!!!! im not a big fan of orange creamcicles but it tasted pretty good !!!!I'm sure you could probly use orange jello as well!!!!

what all is pb2 good in ? i got some at krogers today ..4.49 .can i get some recipes plz ????

am i the only one that feels like i got a pit of grease in my tummy , and everything i taste seems to taste greasy????i was sleeved on the 8th of december and for like the past few days i cannot get over this "greasy" aftertaste of everything i eat ........

hey sarah !!! i was sleeved on dec 8 and i can relate !!! ive llost 20 lbs and was on a good 2 1/2 week stall and the past few weeks been juggling with the sme 4 lbs.i feel like i am grazing all day ...few bites of chili here ...few bites of chz there..nothing consistant ...i am always on the go too and go back to work on the 21st . i have made some bad choices myself .....a handful or two of cheese puffcorn two nights this week and a bite or two of choc. here n there. i keep beating myself up.........but at the same time my clothes are fallin off me !!! i am worried whether or not i have stretched my sleeve out ....is it possible this early on ?~ lisa

wow !!!! how awesome !!!!!i just cant even imagine to be thin ...to possibly be sharing clothes with my 19 year old daughter ...i am glad i chose dec to have my surgery and hope by this summer i will be able to look good enough to wear a swim suit!!!i am just sooooo excited to experience the progression that lies ahead.....its amazing lookin at some after pics of ppl and seeing they are like 150 - 170 lbs when in reality they look like 115 _120lbs!!did any of yall have any hard times along the way or was it smooth sailing ???lol!!!

linda...how many calories do u consume a day ???? i know , i definatley need to up my water intake !!

with 80% of our tummies removed, i was just wondering if that still held true ?

ive been at a stall for over 2 weeks ....just when i thought i broke it...the next day the scale goes up 2 numbers ...lol!!!I'm sure it may have to do with fluid retention, but wondering is it possible to gain pounds from just the lil bit we eat, or is it just fluid related ? lol i have heard that 3500 calories equals a pound at our "old" tummies , but what about our new" tiny "tummies ??? lol!

its happened to me too i was at a stall for 2 weeks ...even gaining ...just broke the stall this am .....but yes i fluctuated between 1 -3 lbs ........i was sleeved on dec 8

my surgery was dec 8 .....my weight was 228 ....got to 208 2 weeks ago and was in a stall for 2 weeks ....it broke this am at 206 ..........soooooo 22 lbs ! ~~lisa

kristikay......i was sleeved on dec 8. after the third day i had a bm and it was rough!!!!my dr suggested taking mirilax prior and i didnt ...it helps with liquid in your colon...but yeah, that first poop was a doozie !!!! as far as a stall..........oh lord !!! i was losing a pound a day the first 2 weeks EVERY day !!!!it was so fun to see the scale drop a number daily...then it stopped !!!!! i have literally been bummed out ....but ....TODAY the scale moved !!!!!208 the last two weeks and then 206.6 today !!!!but .......i can say all my clothes are literally fallin off. while the scale wasnt moving i guess the inches are !!! i m feelin great !!!! ....and im sure my fiance is sick of hearing me say "does this look ok ???"...lol!!!! as i have gone shoppin and replenished my sz 20s to 16s!!!!! woo hoo !!!

hey everyone !!!! i had my surgery on december 8.The day before surgery my weight was 228, at my heaviest I weighed 251 , but probably stayed at about 244 for roughly this past year .Okay......since December 8, the first 2 weeks the scale dropped a number every day....then at exactly 2 weeks , i came to a stall which i stayed at 208!!!Got on the scale this am and may have broke my stall.......206.6!!!!...at exactly 1 month post op !!! i have been pretty bummed out ,because of the scale NOT moving...but i can honestly say ALL of my clothes have been literally hanging !!!!i have gone from a 3x tight scrub top to an xl!!! My friends and family say they can really see a difference.BUT with yo yo dieting all my life and losing 10,20 ,30, lbs here and there ...and seeing that some ppl have noticed and some have not ...i want prople to be truly sincere when they say "WOW I CAN SEE THAT YOU'VE REALLY LOST IT!" ,and not just saying it to make me feel better......can anyone relate ???? maybe i am feeling like this because i go back to work soon and have taken advantage of using a full 6 weeks...that when i do go back , i am wondering if people will view me to be half the size i was already???......does anyone else feel this way ????.....and sorry , didnt mean to ramble !
