I am 9 lbs away from crossing that line.. You look great.

I agree that is my favorite book (Garth Davis) of like 8 that I read about the surgeries... I highly recommend it.. you can also hear an audio discussion of the different surgeries.. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/divatauniamusic/2012/07/03/weight-loss-surgery-options-from-lap-band-to-sleeve He is one of the discussants..

How are you doing? one week out?

I had the same thing in week 3... it lasted about a week and a half.. and others said the same thing.. I made sure to schedule naps and it helped.. however, what is your B-12 supplementation? are you taking a sublingual b-12? For many people this lasts until they get their first b-12 shot.. Mine passed.. but I did sleep a…

Oh yeah.. one more thing.. you won't be able to gulp after surgery.. so today while you can still have fluid.. something I was so glad I did..

I am only weighing twice a week but it feels good to know I am not the only one going through this.. Thanks.. Terri

I do water aerobics... My Doctor did not make me not drink 30 minutes before or after.. work on getting your carbs down and becoming more aware of your portion sizes.. That was most helpful to me..

I told people.. (I accidently did a reply to all to reschedule a meeting so I ended up not being able to pull a star jones).. but I will tell you.. of the people I know that are not telling.. I think they are doing it because they are not sure if they will be successful.. just like when I went on diets before.. and some of…

I am having one heck of a time posting a picture... so I put it on a blog post.. http://drterriwls.blogspot.com/2012/06/before-and-after-for-mfp.html <http://drterriwls.blogspot.com/2012/06/before-and-after-for-mfp.html> 105 lbs lost.. lots more to go.. but you can see it.. <img src=…

You would be such a knockout if you would lose the weight..
