Thank you so much for posting this my dear neck twin. I learned that you have to hold your head a certain way for pictures otherwise I might as well say gobble gobble instead of cheese.
I gained a couple of pounds about a month ago which scared the you know what out of me since I'm still in the early stages. I figured that meant I needed to make a change in what I was doing. I did,...
Thanks for your kind comments and understanding of how wonderful this feels.
I had another celebration this past week. I decided to start celebrating every 10 pounds I hit, meaning anything that...
For low blood sugar, you can get glucose tablets for such an emergency. They don't need to be refrigerated and are easily portable if you get the small tube size. I discovered them after I had a few...
I've been losing from 1 to 3 pounds per week since surgery and have been worried about my slow weight loss as well. I asked my primary care physician about it this past week and she said that it's...
Congratulations and best wishes. Yes, I'm very thankful to God too that I was given this wonderful opportunity. Sometimes I need to pinch myself so I will know it's true.
Woohoo for you and the seatbelt extender. I'm feeling like a million bucks in my clothes as long as I don't look in a mirror. It's funny how good it feels to not be quite as morbidly obese as I once...
That is similar to why I can't stand my PCP. It took me about a year to learn that every time I go see her, I need to ask for refills for all of my prescriptions. Prior to that, I would often run out...
Thank you for checking in to let us know it can be done. I sometimes get scared I'm doing it wrong. I would love to hear any more words of wisdom for someone who is 2 months in.
I was taking a lot of meds before surgery so this was a big concern of mine as well. My doctor told me not to worry about it that I would be able to take my same meds with no problems after surgery....
My surgery was on a Thursday and I was back at work on the following Wednesday with no problem. The caveat is that I work from home so it was only a matter of going into my study and sitting at the...
Ha! Perfect! Especially being from Nashville.
Thank you everyone! This is a small victory that I am so grateful for. Sometimes I need to pinch myself to remind me this is not a dream.
I have been trying and trying to come up with a clever way of saying I've reached this particular milestone like Onederland but this is the best I could do. I know most of you on this board don't...
Great job! I'm so happy for you. You look so pretty and healthy.
It will be here before you know it Danimarie. I was so anxious for my surgery which had to be rescheduled to a month later than originally planned due to changing surgeons and still the date came...
That sounds delicious. I need to find more ways to eat eggs. I was into deviled eggs for a while but it's such a pain peeling them that I'm over it. Well that and the one egg that still had the film...
My insurance would not cover it no matter what. I refinanced my house to get the money. I'm so glad I did. I figured it was up to me to do everything in my power to stop this roller-coaster ride of...
I diced some jalapeno peppers for my chicken and veggie fajita without tortilla meals this past week. I love their flavor but don't eat as spicy foods as I did when my mom was alive and cooking all...
What a wonderful Mother's Day gift to see you did something so right as a mother for them to do this for you. Congratulations!
I was taught that clear liquids were anything you could drink that you could see through. Full liquids were still anything you could drink but you did not have to see through them. Pureed was soft...
Wow, you've done so well! Thanks for sharing.
You are doing good Zacharymom. Don't make the mistake I've been making and that is comparing your weight loss journey to others. I have to remind myself instead to compare my weight lost to my own...
Thanks Grace for this post. You wear your name well.
I did not know that about salads. I just started eating them and thought they were a Godsend since they helped my constitution so well. That's...
Welcome Tammi. Wow, June 8th will be here in no time. This is a once in a lifetime adventure where you learn a lot about yourself. I'm still pretty new at it. Good luck!
