OMG Juli - the mental image (my retinas are burned)...LOL

Okay - FINE - I admit it I'm a recovering scale Whore Too...you people are going to make me fall off of the wagon. Tomorrow it is - weigh in! I cannot hold myself responsible if it isn't the number I wish...

(pst...Lulu - your DH may need to send me your "lost" scale..ah hem...mine may be riddled with shotgun pellets or even better dented from a hammer -- oohhh that sounds like fun!)

I am a scale addict as well. I like to weigh myself before potty time and then after to see how much I lost! :)

I had one ran over by a truck....truly horrible...lol..

I am ready to start protein! :)

How is everyone else doing??

Here's something, I went for a pear, peeled of course, instead of something like pretzels or cheese.

It's a little slow going down, but yeah, I feel like that's a reasonable choice as far as food goes.

As an aside, no desire to hyjack, but anyone twitter?

Work has me blocked - will have to check it out when I get home. Always looking for motivation and yes a place to whine...if you are going to do something, do it well! Thanks J!

I would love to join in on this party if it is not too late! I have got to get my a$$ is gear. I have just slacked off and I don't have a good reason for it!

I do have a question for all of you. If you have a dialated esphogus and you do liquids for a fews days does the esphogus revert back to normal?

Welcome Becky! You are more than welcome. Some of us have started some have not.

As for the esphogus, I have no good answer. Sorry! I would ask your Dr.

So I do believe that I will ABSOLUTEly be having a mixed drink on New Years Eve this year. I have a 4 year old son who will be spending the night at his grandmothers, and I intend to take full advantage of the situation. We plan to go out, somewhere, and one drink won't kill me, it will just knock me on my a$$, that's all.

I've moved on to mushies tonight, having baked ricotta cheese with marinara sauce. I made about 1/2 cup of cheese with a 1/4 cup of sauce, and it is so good, but I am getting full quickly, which is a great thing. I'll be back to liquids tomorrow as I just made broccoli cheese Soup for my lunch.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

It is so great to see everyone is doing well. I am so glad to know that I am not the only one that steps on the scale before and after going potty just to see what the difference was. I can't go in there without stepping on it once. Did my smoothie this morning and it actually held me for several hours. I felt so full! I have NEVER felt like that from my Protein Drink. I am so glad that you started this BBK!

This thread has been a godsend. I started liquids today and I feel so much better. I have been sipping on Special K Protein Water and it really does take the cravings away. I had my lap band surgery Nov. 20th of this year and have only lost 13 pounds. However, I have been able to eat more than I thought possible during this Christmas holiday. The good news is that I haven't gained any weight, but the bad news is that I am not losing as I would have had I not overindulged myself!

I was so... happy to see this thread and I hope with the new year, will come the new attitude that someone mentioned in their post. You guys are great!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
