Hi! Good to see a fellow mail carrier on here. I had surgery last november and went back to my route after 11 days. I was fine by that time. I probably could have done it after a week but i would have still been a little sore. Best of luck on your surgery.

Pamela Thanks again! You really are our little cheerleader. I wish i could just put you in my pocket and take you with me, everytime i need a lift just pull you out and let you go. You are the best!!

Holly We are all here to help. We all need to be lifted up when we fall. I have had plenty of days where i came here to vent and signed off feeling like i had never had a problem at all. Take care and let us know how things are going for you.

Hollybelles NO! Stop eating solid food. You can mess up the adhesions that hold your band in place. You need to call Terry at Dr B's office and ask if you can move on to full liquids. Dr b is very understanding and will point you in the right direction don't be afraid to call him. I am glad you have decided to join our thread all these people are great support. Take care and good luck.

It is pretty yummy, kind of remind me of boiled peanuts.

Thanks Mia! I get edamame at Sams they have it frozen in little indidual containers that you just pop in the microwave. Walmart has some in the produce section near the tofu.

Hi guys! I am on my way to onderland and just wanted to tell all of you how proud I am of your accomplishments.. I realized this afteroon that I am half way to my goal. I am at 217 so just a little while and I will be officially in onderland. Keep up the good work and can't wait to join you all.

Mia Thank you again for the help with posting my pjotos. I finally got them up on out new thread and can't wait to see more from everybody.

The ones in white are from november the ones in grey are from last night. HALF way there!!!!!! I can't get over how doing this has changed my life, simply amazing!!! Keep the pix coming they are so motivating. Take care all!

Pamela Thank you so much! You are always so sweet. I still have a long way to go and I really need to get off my butt and start exercising but I am just so lazy lately. I didnt even know there was a new thread. I will have to find it. Thanks again.

The white shirt is from last November the grey shirt is from last night. I am half way to my goal. It is pretty amazing to me to see how well this is actually working. Take care.

I just realized I am half way to my goal weight!!!!!!! OH MY!! I am so happy!!!!

MIA Thank you!!!!

Can one of yall tell me how to post photos? i am not having much luck..

Mine has gone from a 40.5 to 32.5 since October 07. YAY!!!!!

Allycat Glad you are feeling better. Hang in there and when he starts to see the results he will be more than thrilled. My husband had been chasing me around like a newly wed lately. :eek: Brina I think i saw you standing at the corner of ledo and nottignham with that sign.. LOL!! I laughed so hard when I read that line, believe me i feel your pain on the solid foods but you get accustomed to it and nest thing you know you will be seeing big results that will make it all worth it. Everyone seems to be doing so good, I amso proud for all of us! Keep up the good work ladies, by the time we have a get together we will all be afters instead of befores! Take care!

Sherry I have no medical training at all but... I don't thnk you could do any damage with one little slip up. You have not done that bad. You should get back to the diet your surgeon prescribed immediately but my guess is that you have not done any damage. Just calm down and be careful with your diet... Take care and best of luck.

Pamela I just had my hair cut in almost that exact style. I love it!!! It is super cute and very easy to fix in the mornings not alot of fuss for a very put together look. I will have toget hubby to take some pics to share.

Pamela I am a 204b, your hubby will know what that is. It is a carrier that works in management also. I have been pretty much in a management position for the last 5 years, but i dont want to give up my route so i don't apply for any of the full time management jobs. Your hubby's post master is working in our office for the next month, I really like Bobby. Tell your hubby he could not ask for a better guy to help him get into management. I will be out of town the entire week of the 13th, a whole week on the beach with no teenagers. HOW NICE!!!!!!

Pamela The bubble gum is nasty!!! I should have added that to my first post. My neices love it but it is just not for adult taste buds!! The chocolate and vanilla are awseome!

Pamela I will be out of town on the 13th. Going to Saint Simons Island for another route inspection.... life is so tough But please don't feel obligated to post pone anything on my account. My life is so hectic right now that I could not ask any one to swap schedules for me because I likely wouldn't make it anyway.

Bamboo I went in today too for a fill. Elizabeth asked me if I knew about this thread and said she had had a patient mention it earlier in the day. Aren't they both just great!! I had them put back the .5 cc they took out 2 weeks ago because my weight loss has stopped. HAng in there on the liquids it is worth it to make sure you don't get all swolen and aggrivated and have to have some taken out like I did. Just try solid foods very slowly and don't push your self too hard. I wish I had known you were going in today I would have tried to get in at the same time so we could put faces with screen names. Take care.

Walmart has it. Near the boxes individual packets of water flavors. It comes in chocolate vanilla and bubble gum that i have seen. Very tasty!

A small bale of hay and a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts!!!! YAY!!!!

Ky I had the same problem, but I was trying to eat tuna salad. I have since swapped to talapia and grilled shrimp and have no problems as long as I chew well and don't over eat. I forgot yesterday was friday and took a bite of turkey and had to spit it out and then settle for a protein shake for lunch so I feel your pain. Take care.
