Topic: RE: I dumped today!!!
How far out of surgery are you? I was trying to read up about dumping and vomiting, am I going to be able to go back to work or am I going to be a spouting fountain!?! I guess I am just nervous about what it will be like post surgery.

Hope you are feeling better and thanks for sharing!

Topic: RE: 5 day pouch test- day 3
 What was your final weightloss on the 5 day pouch test? I noticed that with me I am losing when it is that time of the month. And all the other times I am just at a stand still? Weird isn't it? I don't gain it back once Aunt Flo has left town.. so I am not complaining! lol

Topic: I dumped today!!!
 OK, so much for saying I NEVER dump. I went out early today and just had large greentea Crystal Light drink with me. So I didn't eat something until noon. I ate a half of a piece of grilled chicken and about 3 grapes. Moments later I felt the feeling. The "Uh-Oh here it comes" feeling. I ran to the sink and sure enough .

I am trying to figure out if it was because of what I ate, my schedule being all off, or what caused it? I rarely dump at all. So for this to happen was a bit of a shock. I laid down on the couch afterwards. So today literally I have had nothing but liquids because I am afraid to eat solids again. 

I feel much better now. I rode my bike all over the neighborhood and rode until my legs felt like noodles. Now I am taking it easy trying to catch my breath and drink more protein. 

Have a great weekend everyone. Sorry for the rant!

We must be on the same wave length.....last week I was thinking it has been a long time since I have been to Disneyland and was thinkiing I might actually go on some rides!! Same as you.....always had excuses not to go on them with my two children, now they are all grown up and I am ready......too bad I missed out when they were young...
Have a great time, I bet you'll be smiling for days!!

Topic: Making my annual trip to the amusement park...
Every year I take my students to an amusement park.  Next month we are hitting Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.  And I'm actually considering getting on a few rides!!!  OMG!!!  It's been so long since I've ridden a ride that I don't know how to act!  I've always given excuses about why I wouldn't go on the rides like neck problems or I just don't like scary rides...like the big white elephant in the room didn't know it was because my butt was too big!!! 

But right now I'm sorta excited that I might be able to squeeze onto something fun this year!!!  Instead of watching, I'm gonna be doing!  Wow...just don't have words to express what I have bubbling inside of me.  Such an inconsequential thing like getting on a roller coaster has me beaming.

Now if I can get up the nerve to actually get on the blasted thing...

Topic: RE: 26.8 BMI
 Maternity Jeans would be a great option! I did not think about those! I will have to look into them. I am getting excited about shorts but I am not too interested in the ones that are shorty shorts because I have saggy skin on my thighs I am trying to hide it! I would love not looking like a Sharpei. I think I will have to start considering a body lift. :( I hate the thought but I can't see how just exercise is going to make my arms and thigh skin minimize by as much as it needs to. I have no idea how I would pay for it though. Wishful thinking I guess. :( 

I am wearing a Medium in T Shirts. I don't think I have worn a medium since I was 17!

You are so close to goal! Great job! Those pants look awesome! I tried on some maternity jeans at target ( size 10!!!) and they fit and looked great! I may have found my answer!

Topic: RE: 5 day pouch test- day 3
 Yay! I need to do that 5 day pouch test again too! But I will do it after all my surgery stuff is out of the way. I have to bump up my protein intake before hand and they are making me stop taking my supplements 2 WEEKS before the surgery. So this means I need all the nutrition I can get right now! Excited that your doing so great! I lost another lb today! I was happy but I noticed a trend that I lose when my period starts. Sure enough Aunt Flo came to visit today! 

I wonder how this surgery is going to affect my weightloss? They told me yesterday if they get in there and decide things need to come out I will have a full hysterectomy. I sure hope not! I don't want to go on hormone therapy :( And I am sure that will make me even more emotional! 


Best of luck!

Topic: 26.8 BMI
 I am getting so close!!!! Come on 25 BMI! 

Also on a fun note.. I don't know if any of you have this issue or not? I always have trouble finding jeans that fit right. I find that I often get the huge gape at the back of my waste. I tried "Not My Daughter's Jeans" and OMG I LOVE THEM! They have a "tummy tuck" that holds the gut in. They are spandexish so they fit snug without being too tight. And they don't leave that gape at the back! I looooove these jeans. I ordered a ton of them! Hubby will love it when he gets that bill! I ordered them in size 10. I think they slenderize me! LOVE IT!
