Thanks TriksyJ! Do you have a surgery date set yet? There is another support group also, if you google daily strenghth(sp) - It's a good group and they have recipes also for post surgery and as you get on in life with WLS - friend me if you wish - I'm not here often, but I try.

Hi all, I dont think I've been back for awhile -tomorrow marks 4 months since surgery, Since then I've lost 30.4 lbs - I weigh myself tomorrow so it will change - since February 2014 when I first decided to have surgery I've lost 64.4 lbs - I feel great, gotta get better at working out for sure though!

Great job! keep it up!: )

I'm noticing that all surgeon do things differently - I didn't have to do the scope or chaulky stuff for my pre surgery GI - I had to do another kind of white stuff to drink, but it didn't have a smell and I was on a platform, had to turn left, right, straight ahead and then it lies you down and you had to turn from side…

you look great! congrats & keep it up :smiley:

Hey Cheryl - did you have your surgery yet? hope all went well if you did

Hey Happy, I had an upper GI done - 2 actually, one before and the one after to see if there leaks - I had to drink some stuff, but it wasn't chaulky, it was clear and was kinda carbonated I believe - hope all is going well with you - I haven't been messaging you and I feel bad - keep us posted on your progress - you'll do…

Again, it's been AWHILE since I've been on MFP -that's great about joining Gottlieb -I go to the Y in Elmhurst (kind of a cruise for you though I'm sure) - since last message, I started a new journey and had gastric bypass surgery last Friday (Sept 5, 2014) Good Luck! :)

Thanks a lot! all went well - good luck with your journey! :)

Congrats & good luck! :)

I'm on the beginning steps myself (only a certain few know I'm starting this journey) - I go for the dietary eval on the 10th and psychiatric eval on the 15th of this month, I have been with MFP for awhile since my company first partnered with them - Good luck on your journey and you can friend me if you wish also! :)

Chicagoland here - and I am READY for the warmer (ok, HOT) weather of summer! :) -stay warm! :) And good luck on your weightloss journey - don't worry about others, worry about #1(YOU) - they are all just jealous that you have it in you to change

If you have a juicer, make it into juice - I do 2 stalks celery, 5 apples & 2 oranges - it's a weight loss juice and its good - good luck :)

I've been gone from MFP for awhile - ok, a LONG while - scale wasnt moving (either way), got discouraged and hadn't been logging MFP - how did the walking go in Northlake? Did you give it a shot?

I know I'm OVER LOADING you & look like a stalker by now - when, where & how often were you thinking for the walking club? Let me know if you are still wanting to do it

Hi, I'm in Northlake - there is grant park on wolf road, I believe it is 3 miles around, at least thats what the city told me, so if you start at one spot & walk around back to that same spot it is 3 miles, otherwise I have gone to woodfield & the same thing, but it's only 1 mile around OR, busse woods I have done, but…

I have the ultra, although I did not pay for it, my boss got it for me & my coworkers since our company had partnered with MFP, I wear mine everyday & although I dont sync it as much as I used to, I still like to see the steps I'm taking - needless to say, I still LOVE my fitbit ultra :)

have friends in plainfield & almond, family in hancock & almond :)

You look GREAT! you are an inspiration to many, well to me atleast :smile: good job & keep up the good work :smile:

Hey Ben: Depends on where you are eating, I work food service & we give 4oz of meat on sandwiches, you can always ask who ever is making, where ever you go, how many oz are being given. If you are making the sandwich yourself, you can always buy a food scale, weigh the meat after buying it & saran wrap it into individual…

Hi all, I'm from northalke/melrose park area (mostly one zip code) ~ I've been with MFP for about a month now, only REALLY started on it the past couple weeks, my company has partnered with MFP to push healthier eating to our customers, so it was an opportunity for me to give it a shot , I would never known about it…

I usually take my rings (all jewelry) off when I get home every day ~ this way I know where they are & I don't have to worry about losing them :) Good luck on what ever you figure out

Thank you for sharing, you are an inspiration :) ~ good luck with future weight loss & Good job on what you lost so far! :)

Acrynne: do you track your sleeping with your also? I LOVE doing that when I remember to put it on :)

OH YEA, and did I mention I work for a food service company?? THAT IS THE HARDEST PART on sticking to diets & watching what you eat when you work for a corporate food service company :( BUT I am willing to give shot! :)

Thanks for the warm welcome! :) Evonne: I am 42 yrs old, female from chicagoland area, I have 2 teenage girls, a husband & we are all over weight, the kids not so much, but myself & the hubby. My company has recently partnered with mfp, so my boss got us the fitbit (which I so far LOVE), and they want us to be ready &…
