99 to go!! And an NSV!! -  There is something less daunting about saying I have 99lbs to lose as opposed to 100.  I started off needing to lose 134lbs. Now I've lost 35 and I'm well on my way. I can't remem...

I'm still around! - I read a lot, but never post. I've been down about the weight loss being so slow. But I have decided to just enjoy my new body and the things it can do now that it couldn't do befo...

NSV... What is that???? - Three things... Last night I was lying in bed and went to lotion my leg and holy cow, it was so easy to reach everything and my leg was straight out and up in the air. It was so...

4 weeks out -  I am loving the energy I have now. I was out weeding for hours the other day and I felt wonderful afterwards. I even enjoyed the sore muscles the following days.  I like that m...

4 weeks out - No more restrictions! - I had my 4 week Nut appointment. I'm clear for all food and exercise - as long as I can handle it. I'm still in a stall. I've lost a pound or so, but that's about it. The Nut t...

The stall is over! -  The scale is moving again. Thank God. An entire week with no loss was really starting to get me down. Not to mention when I took my measurements, it wasn't as much as I'd hoped it...

Dealing with snide comments - xpost - So, twice now I've gotten snide comments about weight loss. One was from hubby's ex wife.. no surprise there. But she got in the "I'm just glad I was able to lose weight the natura...

Bye bye stall, Hello 20lbs lost!!!! - I don't know if this is just another up/down of the stall or not, but I've been stuck at 19lbs lost for a week. Now I'm at 20lbs!!! I'm so happy! It feels real, with a nice numb...

Desperate for new protein ideas!!!! - I am sooooo sick of sweet protein drinks. I have the Syntrax Nectar proteins. I have tried mixing them with water, milk, yogurt, pudding, EVERYthing and anything and it never loses...

When to exercise? - So, my NUT never brought up when I can start working out. I do laps around the house and my cul-de-sac, but that's about it. I still have a lot of left side pain so I don't kno...

Stalled for a week.. only 3 weeks out! X-post - I've tried so hard to not be irritated. I've seen plenty of folks go through stalls. My NUT even warned me that a stall was coming at about a month out. Well, since my 2nd week (...

First Stall - So I haven't lost anything in a few days now. I'm doing ok with it. I can see my clothes are looser and I know I've lost inches. But it is frustrating to not have lost anything. ...

2 Weeks Out - Just a quick post. I'm feeling sooooo good today! It's been interesting to watch my progress.. myself. hehehe The first few days all I could do was lay around. I wore the loose...

First NSV!!! - So tomorrow begins my second week. Hard to believe! Remembering how SLOW time passed waiting for the darn surgery and now time seems to fly. Anyway, first NSV for me! My pants f...

Left side pain ? - I'm sorry to be whining once again. I've had pain in my left side since the surgery. Duh I had a drain and a large 3" incision on that side. Well, aside from the obvious pain, ...

First post-op appointment - How weird is it that my surgeon is nicer now then he was pre-op. I don't get it. Also, I love that my clinic has a deal with the insurance that there are no more co-pays after surg...

Prayers Needed for Butterfly80 - Kimberlie was my angel and has been so wonderful since I've come to know her on here. She had surgery on 5/9 and has had nothing but problems since her surgery with pain issues and...

Surgery story & one week post-op - It's amazing to me how slow time passed before the surgery and here it is, one week after surgery. All that waiting and it's so weird to realize it's over, the hardest part is over...

Feels like failure already - Tomorrow is my one week post op appointment. I feel like I'm failing in this journey already. I feel like I'm 'eating' too much. I am getting in 8-16oz of protein which is around 4...
