Just added everyone to this point :). I have got to get back to tracking...I've been slacking lately!!!!

Thanks everyone!!

I made it, so I had to share, 199 today!! 7-0 lbs kicked out FOREVER!! Whoever thinks this is "the easy way" to weightloss has no idea how difficult it really is! My road seems to have been easier...

Completely normal! I still have issues with "regular" food, but have no problems putting away 6-8 ounces of yogurt, pudding, soup etc. I eat potatoes. Maybe look for a protein drink with less...

Sounds like you're right on track to me :). You may find once you start meeting your nutritional goals, that your losses will speed up.

Glad you are feeling better Tina! It does help when you can start eating...I wouldn't say i regretted it in the beginning, but it was definitely much harder! Food hurt, fluids hurt and I swore I...

I used the chewable version the day after surgery....helped tremendously!

Adding all of "y'all"....ginnyintn

Putting the final touches (cleaning) the house before I return to work from my "vacation" :(. Need to hunt down my old scrubs and see which ones fit, so I have something to wear to work! And maybe a...

Did you call your md? Can't hurt to run it by them....just in case.

I'm not sure if its physical hunger or the thought of one more bite of tuna/chicken salad or cream of whatever soup is going to make you vomit!
My first time was also 12 days out, and I stuck to my...

I agree!!! And Hormel chili with beans!! Looks really gross but smells and tastes great!!

I compared my "waiting period" to a pregnancy....it starts off slow and then wham...all of a sudden your surgery date is here :)
