    Thanks! I'm excited to really start my journey now. We are back on US soil today and home tomorrow.
  3. Reckon it's time to up date this photo and add some skinny ones... But, I think I look so old now. Heck, I got a senior citizens discount at IHOP and then a couple of days later my 4 yo daughter's preschool classmate asked if'n I was her grandpa! DOO! At Thanksgiving we took some pics at the beach that this one was and I need to post it. Laters y'all
  4. I love watchin husbands that truely love their wives take the extra step for them, the insurance compaies have us all by the balls, I pay a lot per month to have bcbs and the detuctable is 3500 a year, i am never able to meet that, so to me it's useless. Thyroid is a crazy problem, have a gyno doctor do a complete panel on her, most doctors stop at a few test when the patient is large, and some of them meds actually make you gain weight, been there done that so i come from experience there. Doctors only do what you tell them to, I was trapped before I started speaking up about my health now I am on top of the game, I use web md alot so look up every med she is taking you just might find the culprit to the problem...Good luck
  5. Hey dude the change of life thing is a real issue for us women, get her the proper help for it ie; hormone therapy and she will be fine, My hubby gets pissed at me cause I am the big one and he is the skinny, no matter what he eats \, just eeks me good, But proper spousal support is key in anything, as she supports u, u should support her, But I'm just saying..Been there done that motto.....Good luck on your continued loss

    I am doing really well! I feel extremely blessed b/c I can get the fluids in without difficulty and my doctor put me on the full liquad diet so I am having fun playing around with new recipes with in that list of stuff I can have. My incisions are healing well and I have been out walking a ton. I have had some rough spells with b/p but that is getting straightened out and the first night home I had to use the inspirometer alot b/c the narcotics had really depressed my respiratory system bad. That was scary. I am totally focusing on recovery right now and weight loss will come. Thanks for checking in. I do kinda feel guilty for having such a good experience and seeing some of my friends having a harder time. Thanks for stopping by!

    Thank you for stopping by! I am getting excited but a little scared too! lol . I guess that is normal though and yes I am enjoying my hubby so much. Just got the kiddo off to Penn state college too! We live in Co so that is a long way. This is definitely a season of change! You made my day stopping in thanks so much!
  8. Dave Ramsey has a website Dave Ramsey Homepage - daveramsey.com or totalmoneymakeover.com. These are the resources we used. We followed his "baby step" plan, worked through a budget and paid off debt in a "debt snowball". Check out his stuff. He also has a free iphone app and you can listen to his radio show. This changed our life and I hope it does the same for you and yours! =)

    Hi! I am sorry I have not responded its been a busy summer. I just posted I got my surgery date for Sept. 19th. My husband will be home from Afganistan so this will be a good time to have it! I have been taking steps to change my behaviors and get in optimal health for surgery. I am really scared for that 1st week but am excited too! How are you doing and how is it all going?
    Hugs, Lori

    Yeah... I hear ya... No going back though, right?? and 1-2 lbs a day is awesome! At my post op meeting with Dr on Wednesday, he took the drain out, omg, that was WEIRD!! I asked him to give me a bullet or piece of leather to bear down on with my teeth as he pulled it, but he said I wouldn't need it... I guess he was right.. lol... I was on soft food (purees) as soon as I came out of the hospital... I've been eating the tuna fish with low fat mayo, and keeping it down (provided it's not eaten or gulped with alot of air.. and then there are the soups...) but Yeah, I'm only off anything uncooked at the moment... I wonder why you have to be on liquids right now... I'm sure your stomach could handle some soft things like cream of wheat, grits, cottage cheese, a teensy bit of fruit... (soft like peaches or pears) As far as the bad flavor in your mouth, is that from aspertame?? I hate that stuff, but have been more aware of the stuff that I eat... I had some gum the other day, and it wasn't too bad, it was Orbit bubble gum which I love... Hang in there... It'll get easier with time, and while you are still on liquids, eat lots of soup... I really had some bad days there, and I"m sure there're more to come, but every day I get away from the surgery, the better I feel about what I did...

    I'm alot better now 1week post op and just trying to keep sipping on liquids.. I was never really the type to drink lots of water so it's again something new to me... I envision my new little tummy as a newborn and it's helping me stay focused on doing what my body needs right now to thrive... Last week about now I was wondering what the Sam hill I did to myself bit by Thursday I felt loads better... Anisthesia is brutal and I'd never had the full effects of it... Really wasn't prepared for the range of emotions I was feeling... Wednesday I get weighed... And this stupid drain pulled.. That is hopefully going to go smoothly... Yikes.. Did you get a drain?
