It was the result of.....blissful happiness. That'll get you everytime. Now that you are good and pissed the weight will fall right back off! =)

I'm trying to catch up with all the posts!!!! :banghead: Seriously though, I am SO GLAD that our forum stays hoppin'! Some of the others are dead most of the time. I hope you all keep coming every day!

I hope you and your hubby have a great weekend. In AND out of those 1X clothes.

Today was my two week post-op visit to my surgeon. He walks in, looks at my belly, says everything looks great. Then he looks at my chart and says..."Three smokes a day? Do you smoke?" "What? No I don't smoke. What are you talking about?" Then he looked at the chart again and said, "Oh, this must say three shakes a day." (A nurse came in and took the preliminary info from me before he saw me and I told her I drink three unjury drinks a day.) Then he said, "I see you're up and moving. 20 miles a day?" I laughed and said, "Sure, I WALKED here today." (After I'd just mentioned I lived two hours away.) LOL Then he looked embarrassed and said, "Oh, I guess that m. stands for minutes instead of miles." LOLOLOLOL I told him that his nurse had been hanging around doctors too long. She needed a penmanship class!

...and it paid off! I mixed vanilla unjury with a packet of Raspberry Green Tea. I knew it would either make me vomit or add a delightful tinge of berry to my Protein Shake. Thank God I'm delighted instead of vomiting!!!

Yep. How else could I stand all that fresh air? lololol

Those are great tskelli! I finally had one myself today! My surgeon's office is two hours from my home and the town where it's located also happens to have my favorite restaurant IN THE WORLD. I have planned all my trips to my surgeon's around this restaurant. I was even upset when I found out my surgery was in the afternoon because that meant I wouldn't have an excuse to go and have my last meal there. Anyway, I was all the way IN TOWN today before I even thought about the restaurant. I realized that maybe food isn't the total center of my thoughts anymore like it used to be. That was a pretty huge NSV for me.

Thank you Jax! You really are a doll! (And I'm glad you told me that was a hug icon or I would have thought you were sending a zombie after me!) lololol Yeah, it really makes no sense. When I go back in late April, if I've lost six pounds which surely to goodness I will have!, I'm going to beg. This is so frustrating.

losingjusme, encouragement from a success story like you means a lot! Thank you!!

*snort* That was hilarious! I'm going to use that saying myself!

I am getting pissed. My doctor won't even consider fills unless you've stopped losing one to two pounds a week. I went to my two week post-op check up today and he told me to come back in six weeks. THEN, he said, if I have lost more than six pounds we'll wait another month, if I haven't lost six he'll consider a fill. What the hell??? Am I going to have to do this on my own?

Ok girls, I have to tell you...I would be THRILLED if I were at a plateau. I keep gaining every day! And I promise I've been good for a while!!!! Sassafrassin.

What a wonderful experience for you! I'm still eating mostly soft foods so I haven't been on a veggie run but I think I'm actually looking forward to it for the first time in my life. I've been seeing those Zip-Loc steaming bags on the Biggest Loser and keep thinking how delicious those simple, healthy meals look. I think I've been brainwashed! =)

Yeah, I'm with you in "Bandster Hell". I'm trying to make smart choices but it's not easy when you aren't physically restricted. I can't believe I have to wait TWO MONTHS for a fill. _)&)*^#&%^#%(^(*!^#%(!#%

All this talk about Cadbury eggs....*drools on keyboard* Some of my best memories of childhood revolve around Cadbury Eggs. How sick is that? I did buy candy I hate for my students this year. I bought gummie eggs and bunnies. I HATE GUMMY CANDY. It makes me gag. Of course, that didn't stop me from eating some this morning, even though I envisioned a big, gag-nasty, rubbery bunnie stuck in my stoma. How could I explain THAT to my surgeon?

How's your crew doing now, Angie?

I've never had heartburn before either but when I eat too much I get a tight, almost chest pain feeling that I thought might be gas or heartburn. I'm learning so many new freaky things about my body!

This thread is very interesting! Except now I feel like the only one who doesn't live somewhere interesting! LOL I do live in Hatfield-McCoy country, though. If that means anything to anyone. =)

I haven't thought of any rewards but now you've all motivated me to work on some. Thanks for this thread! I would give my eye teeth to go to DisneyWorld with allykat at Christmas, though!!!

Well, whaddya know? I thought that lumpy scar was my port, too! LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one! I tried to find my real port through all my fat but that bad boy is well hidden! I even tried the half sit-up thing that the docs make you do at fills and no luck.

I'm trying so hard not to hate you all for getting fills already. *jealous whining*

I'm glad you're feeling a little better!

* get on an elevator and not get the, "Oh God, is she going to max out the capacity of this thing?" look. * * play basketball with my students through ALL of playtime*

Hey TM Baby! I just saw this or I would have responded earlier. I think I'm going to love my band too!!!! =)

Mine is two weeks liquid, two weeks mushie, then on to regular food. Yours does seem a little extreme to me.
