@@lclemur Aww that precious on many levels!!

@@jane13 Oh I know the struggle, not my ankle so much but thick calves! That's was one of my earliest goals I remember having was to wear zip up boots! @mykdzmom@Bronx40 Thank you!

@@laguerr13 @Alex Brecher Thank you gentleman!

Congrats!!

You'll be fine, search through and you'll see tons of these same post. It would be pretty sad if you got denied over cereal though...Now, stop that crap! You have to suffer just like the rest of us did! It's a right of passage!!! Ha!

@@laguerr13 Yay!!! Looking good! Keep up the hard work!

@@_Kate_ Thank you! Today's special value qvc. I'm a sucker! They do come in wide calf too!!

@@AvaFern Dang! I was hoping for pictures!!! Congrats girl I'm sure you look stunning and are deserving of every bit of it! Screw that guy!

Coffee and I are like this.....and I'm perfectly healthy and alive! In fact I'm having some roasted hazel nut right now...just don't load it down with junk! I use heavy whipping cream as creamer Because it has 0 carbs and a Splenda pack.

@@momfromjersey22 Oooh la la!!

I bought my FIRST pair of tall boots last night!!! One of my ultimate goals was to be able to zip some over my large legs and I finally can!!! I'm so excited for the fall fashion!

@@magicalwoman I did it a few years ago and it was THE stupidest thing I have ever done to try to lose weight. I was prescribed it by a DR. I literally starved myself, that's what you do starve yourself so yes I lost like 30 lbs in a month but I gained it all back plus some and had horrible leg craps for months afterwards.....stupid, stupid, stupid!

@@momfromjersey22 Ha! That's awesome!! Go YOU! Isn't it wonderful! Yes, you could go for a smaller size!

All Drs are different but they can say what they want your body is going to let you know what it will allow. I'd get a few liquid items just in case!

You could pick out the meat. I'm sure you know that so I admire your willpower to not! Chinese food is one of my favorites but it's still loaded with sodium, hidden sugar ect.... That's probably why I like it! You made a smart choice. If you do ever go just order some egg drop soup.

@@shaqkhi I'd say yes and no, yes on the amount of food I buy but I buy higher quality foods which cost more than the junk food.

Well I say embarrassing but not really. I'm pretty proud of the 90 yr old woman looking belly!! I've been asked a lot about how the stomach looks after losing so much weight....well here's mine. It's not perfect, I never expected it to be so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me to show it. I'm 34, I've had 3 c-sections and 5 wonderful VSG stabbings so to say my body/stomach has been through some trauma is an understatement. It's ok though, when the time comes if I feel I want it fixed then so be it but until then I'm not hiding her from the world anymore. Set goals, strive for excellence but remain realistic and you won't be disappointed. Be proud of what you have/are accomplishing. We can be our own worst critics! PS: There is a C-section roll hiding under those pants, don't be fooled!! My pup pup in the background is not impressed but I put him on a diet so......

@@downsizingdiva thank you!

@@brandeett You're fine, every once in awhile someone will make a loooong post with all the lingo. I didn't know what a "nut" was forever. I thought everyone was just calling their Dr a nut which I found odd. Finally I found out it was short for nutritionist. That makes a lot more sense

sending prayers for you both! Xoxo

No way! That's would make me crazy!

Yay! Congrats!!!

@@leag78 Thank you and yes it does. I stay off that thing as much as possible!

Thank you!

@@sleeved_diva That depends on the hospital if all else fails they will stick it on your toe or ear ect....
