Who picked your goal weight????
amberstar replied to mljalways's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just check and see what a healthy BMI would be for your height and that can help determine a goal weight. But I would check with your doc too. I determined my goal weight by how much I weighed when I thought I looked "normal", lol. But I'm gonna have to wait and see when I get closer to my goal, because I can't be for sure I'll be happy when I get there. I might want to lose more, just never know until I get there and see the results! -
50 lbs down and wearing same pants. Why?
amberstar replied to als74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im 5'7, have lost 43lbs. i did go down a size, but they're tight on me. i thought they would be normal fitting. it can be kind of discouraging. and some places sizes are different. at cato's i can wear a 22 comfortably. lane bryant 22's are tight, but wearable. -

symptoms of gall bladder issues
amberstar replied to innwtitdtity's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It felt like the most horrible heart burn I've ever had, not in my throat but in my chest. the pain was so awful in my stomach, it would go straight thru to my back. i was misdiagnosed for a year. something as little as gallstones, lol. it was put off as acid reflux. but i was persistant, i knew something else was going on. usually the burning pain in my chest would cause me to vomit cuz it hurt so bad. i too went to the ER once, i thought i was going to die, i didn't know what was wrong with me. the nurse asked me on a scale from 1-10 how bad was the pain,, i said a 10!! he looked at me like i was lying, and asked me was i sure, had i ever had children?!?! i said no i haven't, so to me, this is the worst pain of my life! jerk! needless to say i left there with no help. just keep pursuing it if you think you have a problem, get that sucker out of there! haha -
i used optifast during my liquid stage. the chocolate ones were the best, vanilla ok, strawberry was gross.

So a couple weeks ago I saw my younger brother, who is 21. I hadn't seen him since I had lost about 30lbs, and he had never said much about my weight loss. He's really a sweet kid, but too cool for school, in a rock band, too busy with his friends and guitar to notice me, haha! But I guess another 10lbs had made a difference cuz he said I looked tiny!! lol. Of course I'm not, but it was nice that he noticed! He said he could really tell a difference and I looked alot smaller. Made my day :smile:

Go to 5daypouchtest.com. Give that a try. Sorry you're having such a hard time!! really does sound like you need more fills. How many cc's do you have currently and what size band?
-
i take biotin too. only been taking it a month, so not sure how well it's going to work. but it's worth a try!
-
Yeah I just moved to the southeast hell hole corner of NM, haha, jk! Small town by Roswell and Carlsbad. It's not too bad... so far. Had to move here for my hubby's job, and he pays the bills so I can't complain!! So you're still waiting for surgery??? How much longer do you have to go?
-
yeah that time is really hard. i just tried to maintain. i had lost about 15lbs i think? i stayed there for a while! but then i got more fills and it got better. i deal with george too mostly, i love the whole staff. i go back end of april just for check up. not sure if i'll get a fill or not. but hang in there, it's hard when you have no restriction, i know! it might take a few fills, but you'll be feeling it in no time

Sorry I missed the get together!!
But I'll be in Dallas April 24 & 25th. So keep me posted if anyone wants to do dinner or something!!

I just saw you're from New Mexico. I just moved to NM last week from Texas. I'm still trying to get adjusted to the desert and no trees!! haha
