So we decided today take a road trip tomorrow. ..to Texas! We are taking my mother in law back home. She has been with us for 3 months. My husband had the opportunity to take some time off so we are gonna go. Leaving in the am and hope to drive straight through. Not sure how my back will handle this but I wanna get away so im going. I figure it is already bad so what more can happen?! Wll try to be back by next Friday but are just gonna see what happens and go with the flow! Gotta for sure be back by monday the 21st as my son has his sleeve that day. Packed all my protein and yogurt and beef jerky and pain meds so I should be good to go! Wish us safe travels and no breakdowns!

So I did liquids only on Monday and since then have been focusing on only protein. Was 228 this am which broke my mini stall! Kicking it in gear when in a stall works!

Way to go!! Looking AWESOME! 28 more lbs and I'll be there with ya!

Chicken got me once again. Why do I even try it?? I hate the foamies!

So after my daughter's size 16 jean success the other day, I thought id try her dressy size 14's today. Got them on but they were about an inch from being able to button! Wont be long!! This is exciting!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I am still fluctuating back and forth between the same 3 lbs everyday. I broke it and went down to 229 but went back up to 232 and keep going back and forth. Am going with all liquids today to try to break the stall. Wish I could exercise as im sure that would help! Found out the surgeon that was going to do my back surgery is now out of network for my insurance so today I am trying to find someone else. Means starting over and hoping I can find a surgeon who will help. I am so sick of this and frustrated beyond belief. If nothing else I'll stay with the same surgeon and pay the 30%. Would be alot of money after a big major surgery but would have to do monthly payments, probably for the rest of my life! Fingers crossed that I can find someone else to help!

WOW! What a difference! You are very pretty Pebulz and are looking great! I hear you abojt not weighing yourself back then! Wish I really knew just how big I was at my highest cuz I know it was more than 340! Keep up the great work girl!

I honestly dont know much about it. I had researched it when I was first deciding which route to go but dont remember much. I am going with him for his 4 hr pre op class on Wednesday and will learn more then. I have pushed him to learn more but he is a boy! Guess we will learn more Wednesday.

I saw my daughters jeans in the laundry basket and thought "they'll never fit me" but I decided to see. They fit!! They are size 16! I showed my other daughter and she couldnt believe it. She said they looked so good on me!

Alaina, here is my niece's belly today! Holy crap! [ATTACH]5159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5160[/ATTACH]

Glad your bloodwork came back good. Seeing a psychologist is something im thinking of doing as well. It is hard when I dont work and have any interaction with people on a daily basis other than my family. I am on some meds but not sure they are doing the best for me right now. Hope it helps you feel better! What is your blog about? Dont think I had heard about it and id love to check it out!!

Ok so I am 6 month post op and I was doing some thinking today. I usually drink my protein powder drinks throughout the day. I maybe have 2 shakes with milk and another 2 of my cappuccino stuff mixed with water. I also eat protein but really dont eat very much. Should I only be doing the protein shakes and powders as meal replacements? Or is what im doing ok? Dont know why I thought of this today, 6 months post op, but I guess we will always question if we are doing things right! My surgeon and nut said to focus on protein and water and not to necessarily count calories and I have lost 74 since 4-22 surgery so I am doing something right. If I can do better of course id like too! Thanks for any advice!

I do get some protein from food, probably 40 or so grams a day on average. I am hardly ever hungery and have to force myself to eat most of the time. Most of the powder I use is syntrax nectars or matrix. I would guess I get 100 to 120 a day.

Went for my labs todqy. They only drew 4 vials so you all beat me! Have my post op appt on the 22nd which is exactly 6 months. My son is having the sleeve on the 21st and we will already be at the hospital then so it was convenient.

Good job!!!
