    Hey woman!! How are you? I see you have hit Onederland! Congrats! I hit 157 today when I weighed, one more pound and that is an 80lb loss. Wow, I never dreamed that would ever happen. I have been doing super gardening for the spring, this week will be putting in the rest of the cobblestones in the backyard. I don't much care for grass...lol have a good weekend I will be checking in again this next week, I don't get on here enough either.

    Hey Woman!! 54 lost as of this morning, even had tiny glass of wine last night at a meeting which was entirely about wine...LOL I wish i had known about this years ago also!! No problems with food, but the salad stuff I do better with raw spinache not the lettuce. but even a few bites then I can't do anymore. I am not really liking any protein truthfully. I like boiled eggs just so much easier also. I dont have a taste for anything really, but hey got back in my size 12's!! size 8 on my way!! you know you've lost in size when the pantyhose goes to smaller size!! lol well have a great rest of the week! ttyl

    Hey woman! you're rocking with -50 something loss! I am at 48 right behind you! How are you doing? Is this not the easiest diet in the world?!?!

    I know! I cant wait to shop for smaller sizes. haha I still am wearing most of my tops, my pants are the issue. I am in between sizes now so i dont want to buy a new pair of jeans if they aren't gonna fit me in 2 weeks. But i guess these aren't bad problems to have huh?? Dr. Harts office screwed up and booked me to see her when i was only like 4 weeks out. I didnt realize it was a mistake until her and I were sitting there chatting. haha they really need to get it together. I know they had some change in staff and someone had to have surgery, but they are a hot mess. My mother had the hardest time getting a hold of someone to see if they submitted her info to her insurance. I know the end of the year is their busy time but they need to hire more staff or something. they sure do make enough money to do so! haha
  9. 40lbs -that is awesome !!! I have never tried pb on grapes but it sounds really good - the sweet and juicy with the thick/dry pb. I will have to try it. I actually wound up doing a spin class light night - it was so much better than I expected. I think I will try a Zumba class tonight. I have NO rhythm so it is probably sad or hilarious for anyone watching me but I sweat a ton. I did read the post from that lady - and there are so many others who also seem to be eating heavy carbs, etc - I don't understand them either. We went through so much to get here - I am afraid to have anything nit on "the list". Good luck with your spinach salad - I am still no go on lettuce, but that's ok - they say your favs eventually come back. Talk to you soon !

    Happy New Year!! and look out 2014 we are past the start line and the weight is leaving!!! I think if you just stayed at a constant with exercise you will do fine, not the extreme stuff for hours. my exercise isn't much because of my MS I use walkers and scooters. but i just walk around my house enough which is better than before, I can really tell a difference with 40lbs gone with my legs. much easier for me to get up and move than before.
    I still love coffee thank God...lol I finally got my grapes and peanut butter which is really good, I can do 5 grapes cut in half with a little peanut butter on each. Now I want my spinach salad with salad shrimp! lol might try next week, I hope my tummy approves.
    Hey did you see the post about a woman who had the sleeve done and lost all her weight then she adds that she is now an alcoholic! she started with one glass a day then 2 now she drinks a bottle a day of wine! and she gained half of the weight back she lost. I didn't reply to that but she was asking for our help on here. hmmmm...I wanted to say stop going to the store and buying it. But what do we say, that was just weird. I was told by NUT that drinking was a no no period and one drink would make the level in us sky rocket to being legally drunk.

2 Weeks Post Op

by DebbieLvswknds on 11-30-2013 at 08:48 AM
Yesterday marks two weeks since my surgery and I am feeling so blessed. I have lost 20 lbs in that time and have really had no problems to complain about. I was so worried I would have trouble getting proteins and liquids in and that has just not happened.

I think I have mentioned before how much faster it seems like my doc moves us thru the food phases:

Week1 (home from the hospital): full fluids, to include protein shakes (3-4 per day), and two snacks (1/2 c of

Home and Sleeved !!!

by DebbieLvswknds on 11-16-2013 at 04:59 PM
I did it. It went so very well, I keep waiting for the problems to begin. But that is just crazy - I need to just be thankful that things are going so well and leave it at that. Everyone was so nice at John's Creek Hospital. I am on total liquids through today. Tomorrow starts the protein drinks. I walked often while in the hospital and have gotten in two good walks since being home. My surgery was yesterday around 11:30 - for some reason they were running late. I was only nauseous in the

Pre and Post Op Meetings

by DebbieLvswknds on 11-04-2013 at 09:05 PM
So today I went for an all day session -- a couple of hours with the nutritionist, a couple of hours with someone on the surgeon's staff, a short visit with Dr. Hart, and then the final pre-op visit at the hospital.

Wow - all of this made it really sink in - this is it. It was all so scary and exciting. I have been reading all of the posts of folks who have gone before and thinking I understood what was coming, but today made it really hit home - more than anything else.

A Surgery Date - Finally

by DebbieLvswknds on 10-29-2013 at 09:46 PM
Dr. Hart's office called today. My surgery is scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2013 @ 8:00 am. I am having a minor freak out now - am I really doing this; what if I have a really rough time with it, what if I am not successful even after going through all of this. I have been eating so bad lately what if I can't break this new, bad habit. I have to stop - this is crazy - it is what I want, need, and have been building up to, right?

I have a bucket list and here is my #1 item

Called BCBS Today

by DebbieLvswknds on 10-24-2013 at 09:37 PM
After reading posts from folks who had called their insurance companies to check on the status, I called mine today. They have received the request from Dr. Hart's office and I have been approved. Scared now but thrilled too. Now I am just waiting on the Dr.'s office to call me with a date
