    Hey hey!!!! Don't know how I missed you on here. Glad to see you doing so well. I didn't hit my personal goal by September but was only 3 lbs shy. Just about a month and a half later I hit it and I'm doing great. I flew past what my doctors said I should hope to lose. I think my grand total today is 183 lbs down from day of surgery. Hope everything else is going good for you.

    A 1/4 a pound a day is amazing!! I'm just about right there with you. I usually lose 2-3 lbs a week but it happens on my two days off from work. For soda l...I had a sip awhile back but haven't had it again. Actually this past month I've kicked it into over drive. I have almost no sugar...just lots of fruit. I cook everyday and its all grilled and healthy crap. I'm in a crazy zone right now. Even my doc and nutritionist couldn't believe I was down 120 lbs at this point....woohoo. I know you'll hit your mark by the next appointment so no worries. I hope everything comes back ok with your child...I can tell you this my mom when I was that age took me for tests too for the same reason. I ended up being ok and got better a few years later. And I'm jealous...DisneyWorrrrlllld!!!! Lol I love Disney...I'm going to DisneyLand with my family in June. Finally get to ride the rides again. I've been in Nashville for almost 10 years now. There is a solid food truck scene out here too in East Nashville plus you have oooo about 6 colleges in about 30 - 40 mins of each other so you could make a killing. Knoxville UT campus is huge and during football season y'all would clean up to but there food truck scene isn't as good as ours in Nashville. I'm actually playing around with doing a food truck too. I've got like 3 different themes I would want to do but I'm just in early stages of seeing what it would take to start up. Throw that money up and make it thunderstorm lol. Go get that money lol

    Hey...It has been a good little minute. Its going pretty well. I hit the 70lbs lost this week so can I get a WOOT WOOT!!! Lol. Now that i'm eating better I keep eating WAY to fast. I've also cheated a few times. I've had a scoop of ice cream, slice of pizza, a few sour patch kids, and a glass of REAL lemonade with real sugar and all. Now granted all that happened over a two week period and that is minimal to how I used to eat. So I guess its not all that bad but I still cheated. How about with you? How's everything been going for you?

    This week I can tell you I am eating to fast too. Its going down much easier and in my mind that means I can go faster. Its funny you say about the turkey meatballs I tried that about a week back and I won't be doing that again for some time lol. My calories I'm still lucky if I get about 500 in. 900 to a 1000 I can't even imagine right now. My weight loss has slowed down I notice when I work on the weekend (I work my 40hrs over 3 days) I won't lose a thing...then starting on tuesday I will start to lose again. Then I hit saturday and it stops for those 3 days i'm at work. You're weight loss is gonna pick back up soon I can feel it.

    Definitely missed your last message. The medicine they have me on is called Ursodiol its supposed to make sure I don't have issues with my gallbladder with the rapid weight loss. As far as going for the follow ups. I went in 1 week out, then 30 days out, I go back Dec 5th for my 3 month, then at 6 months out and the last one is 1 year post op. How've you been doing this week?

It's been a long time...

by fairyzbeth on 05-14-2016 at 11:51 AM
I started my journey over 4 years ago. My original goal weight was 160 pounds. Today, I sit happily at 120 pounds. It hasn't been easy, not one bit. I'm still mindful of everything I eat, knowing the bad habits could sneak right back up before I even realize it!! I do, in fact eat what I want, I just know when I need to put the fork down. My best advice I adhere to 100% of the time is that I never, ever drink with my meals. Not ever!! For all to see getting started, you really can do this!!

Protein Bars

by fairyzbeth on 10-24-2012 at 06:30 PM
I would love to phase out my protein shakes, but I drink Premier Protein that has 30g a serving. I found their bars, but noticed they have 290 calories. Does anyone know of a great bar that is excessively high in protein, with fewer thatn 200 calories and 5g of sugar?? Thanks!

A Painful Sunday!!

by fairyzbeth on 10-14-2012 at 07:28 PM
I woke up this morning with a constant pain in my right shoulder blade. It has remained all day. If I move a certain way, it will cause a sharp pain through my whole mid section. Even if I just yawn, I will gasp in pain. Right now, it is throughout my entire middle back area. I never experienced any pressure from the anesthesia, but 5 weeks out seems a little long to have it start now. What could it possibly be???

a little cheat...

by fairyzbeth on 09-16-2012 at 05:12 PM
So, I'm only 11 days post op and tonight I ate about 2tbsp of mashed potatoes with a little gravy. Please tell me that isn't so bad...I feel awful about it...Now I just imagine little pieces of potatoes healing in the pouch of stomach...also

I've found that last couple of days I can consume larger amounts of liquids at a time. Is that normal? I can drink a whole 11 ounce protein shake in about 45 minutes...I am so worried about stretching my stomach out already...

3 days post-op

by fairyzbeth on 09-08-2012 at 05:50 PM
So, I'm finally all sleeved. It has been a tough few days thus far. I was the first case of the day at VCU, which was great. First, no one could get an iv in, that tookabout 6 people and as many needles. As soon as I woke up, I was so nauseated I couldn't stand it. I was dry heaving all afternoon and then threw up blood clots in the evening. They changed my meds around, took away the morphine and started delotid. Then, I was totally unaware of how awful the upper GI would be. That was probably
