The new wardrobe thing is something else. I have lost 62 pounds and nothing fits right at all. Everything looks aweful and he will tell me it looks fine. I dont need to buy anyything. Drives me crazy...

The protien shakes were a killer for me at first. I had to try several to find one that did not tear up my stomach. Like a gal bladder attack every time I drank one. Now the one I drink isnt so bad.

I do mix unflavored protien powder in my crystal light lemonade. Cant taste it much at all. Gotta mix it in cold liquid otherwise it will chunck up. I cant seem to remember the brand name though.

My doctor will not let me work out until six weeks post op. The only thing I can do is walk. Which is excersise of course. But she even said no giant hills.

I couldn't handle it, I was silly and stood on the scale every morning after my surgery. Which was great at first. The number was smaller every day. Then one morning I got on it and it said I went up...

I never really had those thoughts of "can I do this?" for myself. But I knew other people would have something to say about it, so I didn't tell anyone really. My boyfriend, mother, step mom, and...

Oh man no scrambled eggs. My surgery is scheduled for this Monday and I already cant wait to be able to eat mashed taters and scrambled eggs. I don't even like scrambled eggs. Great job on the weight...

I was going to say the same, steri strips will usually be put on if the stiches come out and they were not quite ready.

Great Job!!

You look awesome!!! I hope I do as well as you on my journey. A friend of mine is having this procedure done and her boyfriend said he did not want her to have it done because she would loose a bunch...

My primary said " we havent talked about this before" So then I told him everything I knew about the different surgical options, my reasoning for the sleeve procedure versus the other ones. And he...

I have never had much luck finding things for "real' curvy women at Kohls or Pennys. Ive never shopped for a swim suit at Gordmans but the blue jeans fit great!
