Gone for Good Club - August 2006

[Bye 0]

Welcome, 503!! I started at 450 and found a good bariatric scale. I'll hunt down the info and send it to you. This group is great!!!

PhotoNut, where do we stand for September? Am I responsible for GFG in September or did CanadianSunshine agree to take another month?

I only lost 3 lbs in August, but considering I've lost 74 since March 15th, I'm not complaining.

*laughs* Good grief, I LOVE this group! Y'all rock! :rockon:

Joyce, its all yours for September hon. If ya need some help, just let me know. Um.. oh crap. I haven't updated yet! LOL! I'll do that right after this post. Then you can just copy and paste them for the start of the Sept thread. For the new folks.. we always start a new thread for each month so our threads don't get so long. There will be a link to the September thread once we get it prepared.

DeAnn - I want a tat! I'm coming to your son's to get it done! Sweet! Oh.. shhh.. dont tell Dawg! *grins*

503 - I'm so happy for you! Inches and pounds can be deceiving, but our clothes never lie! 45 pounds is a LOT of weight!

Diva - I'll be giving your bbq thing some thought. *thinks* Hmm...

If I missed anyone I'll be back!

Diva

How well do you know the host/hostess? Stash some jello/soup in their frige. How liquid are your liquids at this stage? Yogurt smoothies are pretty good. Put it and/or a Protein Drink in a coffee mug.

Thank you all for the great comments about my NSV. It did/does feel amazing. Went to the mall tonight and went shopping....No longer do I get shirts or sweatshirts in XL planning on sharing it with my boyfriend. Nope, today we got the same tshirt, one XL and one Medium. Went to go buy hoodie and the boyfriend liked it too, wanted me to get a XL, I say, no way, got a medium and it looks super cute, no big baggy clothes here.

Hey Funny or Telly,

What's the 6 meal diet? I think that might work for me because I can't eat a large volume of food but I get hungry between meals.

Regarding the colon blow - you can take a bottle or two of mag citrate, about 1.50 from the pharmacy, and blow everything from your mind to your, um ass. I would recommend not leaving home until you're empty though. We use this a lot in the hospital for a colon prep and I've used it before surgery once myself. All I can say is "holy crap Batman!".

I had to have that magnesium citrate for my pre-op prep. They try and make it fizzy and flavored like you're guzzling a soda, but we all know differently. Nasty stuff, but like Andy Liz said, "holy crap Batman!"

Ok... before I post.. how much should I show?

[Telly 4]

Andyliz, I eat the 6 meals per day b/c of my workouts and I want to strengthen my metabolism. To do so you have to eat more often so your body burns constantly. I think Funny is working with a personal trainer as well as I so I believe her trainer told her to do the same.

[Telly 4]

Ok, here's the tat.

It means "Scar of Change". I put the word "scar" right on my scar. I will add more symbols down to above my navel until surgery time comes. I will add Endurance, Strength, etc.

Awesome Tat Telly! - what a cool idea - will your TT ruin any of the lower ones do you think?

[Telly 4]

Mo, that's what I'm wondering. I will only have them up to about 1 inch above the navel. I'm hoping to have the surgery in October or at latest, November. We'll see. So till then, maybe 2 more will do just fine.
