- Hi all, Does anyone use V8 to help get in their vegetables? The 5.5 oz. low sodium (95mg) says equal to 1/2 cup of vegetables. Sometimes, especially at lunch, by the time I eat my protein, I can't get in cucumbers, tomatoes etc. Kathy
- I have three cute dresses in my closet (I love Kim Roger's clothes) that I haven't worn in at least 5 years but have kept because they are so cute. They are all size 14W (the W is a must because it's more generous in the thighs and butt.) I only...
- I made it to Onederland this weekend and had my 3 month check up yesterday. I am doing great well and feel so good about my progress. I'm a slow and steady loser. I started at 240 and have lost 40 lbs. in 3 months. The PA reminded me that the...
- I have a confession to make. I joined another on-line weight loss surgery support group about a month ago. Had been lurking there once in a while and finally joined and posted once to say hello and a second time about my NUT follow-up which I was...
- I am happy to say that since my NUT asked me to try to weigh in only once a week, I haven't stepped on the scale and for the past two days I didn't even think about it. I am looking forward to Friday (weigh in day) because I am very close to being...
- Here in coastal NC spring is right around the corner. I spent Saturday morning trying on all my spring/summer clothes and going through all my winter/fall that have been in my closet this past season. All of my 1X and size 18 and several 16W that...
- Had a good appt w/ my NUT yesterday (I'm 10 weeks out.) We tweaked my supplements a bit (I was taking too much Vit. D, hadn't accounted for it in my multivitamin and can only absorb so much.) She strongly recommends a probiotic and says regardless...
- Amazon.com is having a sale on Premier Protein Shakes $7.00 a case and free shipping if you buy at least 4. I copied the link below but cannot figure out how to make it a hyperlink that you can just click on. ...
- Our church added an early service at the first of the year so we've been going to that one. Last night at the Lenten service, at least 5 people I hadn't seen since we switched services came up and told me that I look great. One said she wondered...
- I had been in a sort of weight loss stall, losing very slowly or stayingThe same for about three weeks. I didn't panic because I was moving in the right direction. All of a sudden this week I dropped 5 lbs. and am at 203! I can't believe that I...
- Hope everyone has a lovely day. Valentine's Day is all about hearts and whether you are pre or post-surgery, your heart is getting healthier and stronger on this journey. :) Kathy
- I am so glad I had RNY!! 8 weeks post surgery and I am eating regular food (slowly adding in raw vegetables) and feeling great. I started at 240 and weighed in at 207 this morning. I am glad to say I haven't fixated on the scale -- I trust that if...
- I know that I can expect some hair loss in a few months but in the meantime my hair is growing like crazy. I'm 6 weeks post RNY and I guess it's a combination of the protein and vitamins. I have fine hair but plenty of it and it usually grows at a...
- I had my 6 week checkup yesterday. She said I am doing great. She said that a 6 week average is 25 lbs. I am down 28 lbs. I go back in 6 weeks (which will be 3 months since surgery.) She said that at 3 mos. the average loss is 50 lbs but she...
- Hmm. Today I wore a pair of trouser jeans (Lane Bryant) that are getting a little loose, a shirt and a cute cardigan sweater that I have worn several times over the past year. Within 2 hours, no less than 5 people told me how cute my sweater was...
