That is so inspiring to hear! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off. YAY

YAY how exciting it is. Best wishes for your surgery. Get back to us when you get to the other side!

Great job guys! Dansha...85 pounds HOLY CRAPOLA.

I think it is very reasonable. You are a "lightweight" so I would say up to 25 would not be out of the question. I lost 15 pounds the first two weeks and I started at around the same BMI. I think Blackberryjuice and Sleeveorbust also started around the same BMI.

Cindy prayers for you too. Keep us posted and have a great recovery hun.

Yup gall bladders are tricky my mom kept complaining to her GP he tested everything was fine...she kept saying no im pretty sure thats what it is finally 3 weeks later she went to ER they got her right in and removed it and even though it tested fine it was terribly diseased and slimy stuck to her surrounding organs.

BUMP...anyone have any info on how JG is fairing? I sent a PM but it was on my mind this week.

I am currently googling PCOS...I know what it stands for but not sure what it entails. EDIT: ok wow it sounds NO FUN at all. If surgery can help aleviate it that would be wonderful for sure! Good luck and best wishes.

Funny thing my grandma just had a consultation about a little growth that was in her line of vision and the doctor is going to remove the excess skin on her eyes also since there is so much of it and it is hurting her vision also. Her insurance is going to cover it. I was like SCORE! LOL.

Congrats and best wishes on a great recovery. Try not to get caught up worrying about what you can and can't eat in the future. I am eating everything I previously ate (minus the junk food usually) but I just eat smaller portions. I ate at Olive Garden and ordered from childs menu. I ate 3/4 of that bowl of pasta and four bites of salad. I did not have bread sticks this time because the last time I went I had a half of one and couldn't hardly fit any pasta down lol. We went to a birthday party last night. I had an average slice of thin crust pizza. No birthday cake though. Today was my sisters baby shower. I had a small helping of rice and beans, two bites of a tortilla and a couple oz of shredded beef. I did take three bites of the cake an hour later. So now that the special occasions are over I will be good this week and eat my normal diet but you can always eat your faves....just wont have room for much of it! It is wonderful.

STILL NOT WORKING!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

One month has been great for you! What is the total pounds lost thus far?>

Wow only 15 weeks and look at you. You look GREAT! Keep doing what youre doing and keep working on making yourself happy.
