I didn't lose last week but today I weighted myself and down 2 lbs. and a few oz. So I feel good. I even ate Ice Cream cake last Friday LOL for hubby's B'Day. But just a little. Slow and steady I am happy just to lose a few pounds a month now. I feel great look great and hope to look better every day.

Oh how awful, were you alone with that pervert when he did your internal? How scary is that. Since the 1970's at least all my doctors have a nurse with them when doing exams. It's the law I think in MA. I am glad you reported that jerk. How sick is that. Great your going back to school good luck. That nurse needs a letter put in her file so she can be warned not to treat patients so horrid.

It's odd that the people who put you down for doing it are people who are also overweight or obese. I think they are jealous you had it done and they haven't or are afraid to do it or maybe they were turned down by their insurance company and they are pissed off. I tell everyone, 99% think it's great. 1% don't so I just tell them don't knock it till you try it. They shut up especially now that I am just overweight and not obese and can wear regular clothing. Size 12 jeans. I went in Victoria Secrets and tried on their new fancy 7-1 bra, it's maybe half a size too small. So in 10 pounds or so I will got get one. Perfect for the summer. Can wear it 7 ways. including strapless. It's comfortable and although a tad expensive $50 it's worth it. I am happy that most people want to know more about the surgery. I find teenagers, in stores that work there are really really interested. Especially the overweight ones. I tell them it's the best thing this old lady has ever done for herself. I hope I have converted a few of them over to the "band side" LOL I would have reported that nurse and told her off....how dare she act like that. Totally unprofessional. Oh how green was she?????? LOL

Hey I love when that happens, unexpected weight loss....Congratulations.

Great job everyone I am the same. But then I didn't gain either. I am losing slower than I want too. But then again no gain LOL My clothing is getting looser anyway so that's good. My size 12 jeans are getting loose in the leg and waist. Woo woo.

I had a serious Diet Coke habit. I stopped the day before surgery and haven't had a drop since. I drink one large cup of coffee every morning. And sometimes a decaf low fat mocha coffee in the evening. It took about 3 weeks for the headaches to subside. Lots of tylenon for that I am now slightly addicted to Crystal light lemonade I do love it. And the pink kind for celebrations. I sometimes mix different ones like half fruit punch and half lemonade. Just to make it different. I don't miss beer at all, I do miss mixed drinks, so I have a virgin mary with all the spices when I am out and love that. Get some Vitamins from the veggie drink too. Good luck. Pati
