Mcmann1. Yes. I think it takes time for our brain to catch up to our body. I won't have to buy clothes for a while yet. I have three sizes of ME in my closet. I did hang a short skort on the door of my closet that I wore 10 years ago as inspiration. I'm hoping to be into it by the end of summer and lose out of it again. That's what I'm using as a bench mark. I look at it every day and it makes me smile.

Redstacy. I do understand that. After losing 60 I tried on some clothes in my closet yesterday. I out on a pair of jeans and a shirt I haven't wore in a while. My adult daughter came in and told me the shirt was too big and talked me into wearing a smaller one. She told me to look at myself In the mirror. I just kept looking at my trouble spots instead of where I have lost. I wanted to put the big clothes back on because they made me feel like I could hide those trouble spots I focus on. ????. I realized I need to work on the inside me as well as the outside me. I'm a happy and loving person to everyone except me. Today I looked in that mirror and said. Dang. I look good. Lol. And I have raised a very smart young woman.

I was revised dec 31 and have lost 50 lbs. I'm also concerned about hearing being a slow loser with revision. The first 25 lbs came off in 8 days and the rest has been slower but so far I'm pleased. I'm trying to stay positive and I think sometimes we want it and want it NOW!!! Lol and have to focus on being healthy and not getting caught up with numbers. Just my thought for the day. Stay healthy and love yourself.

My husband is by his standards about ten pounds over weight. He has lost five of that. My teen son has been eating so much better and has not complained at all. We don't has soft drinks in the house hardly ever and I cook smaller portions for them of my old recipes. I'm only two months out so I don't eat the same things as they do but hopefully we will all be on the same page soon. The funny thing I wanted to add that I noticed was my chihuahua has lost weight though. I didn't realize how much I fed her off my plate until I see her slimming down. She loves the walks we go on also. So I would say my surgery benefited my fur baby as well.

Girl Scout Cookies? ?? Hey we have almost made it through that season now.

OhYeah! good grab bars
Balance bar Gold chocolate mint cookie tastes just like eating an entire package of girl scout thin mints.
Makes me want to have a glass of milk with it

I have been wondering the same thing about which Protein bars to order so I decided on Quest because some of their bars have 20 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbs and I see their on sale...here is a link to help http://www.questproteinbar.com/cookies-and-cream-box-of-12.html

I had mine on 12/19 and am eating "blended" foods, including cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, cream of wheat, Protein Shakes, etc. I am allowed to eat cream soups too, but I kinda gag on those.

As of today I'm 3 weeks post op. Also 3 weeks of non smoking. I smoked up to the night before. After surgery I was coughing up black. I made a promise not to smoke. I tell myself I did WLS to better my health but if I continue to smoke it seems useless. The second week the cravings were the worse. Three weeks now, they are much better but still a battle. Congrats to all who have stopped smoking and those who are trying. We got this!!!! My Love to all.

Hello everyone. I have also tried to get into conversation in other threads and thought it was just me but only one person talked to me. Once. Lol. I had my band removed and the bypass done 12/31/13. How's that for a New Years celebration. Lol. My clear liquids was for 3 days then moved to full liquids until the 15 th day after surgery. It's strange how different dr's have somewhat different diets. But I feel we all have the same destination just the journey may vary. Good luck everyone.

My surgery was dec 31. In ft worth texas.

I agree sips of Water as soon as you can so you don't dehydrate yourself. Yesterday my pain in shoulders from gas was pretty bad yet so I took the prescribed liquid meds and that left me light headed and sleepy for most if the day. I didn't want to eat or drink which was bad. Today still have the gas pain but dealing with it so I can move around eat and drink sips of Water.< /p>
Where I see myself in a year...at my goal weight of at least 145 or even lower and off all co-morbid obesity meds. Already off of diabetes meds so there's one down

Thank you so much for the welcome. Yes. I'm needing some info. Have my binder and info from the nutritionist but it's not the same as talking to others who are walking down the same path.
