Oh, these hips! - I've had a question for a while, and I've wondered about calling my doctor, asking my regular friends, etc. but silly me, I didn't even think about posting it here. All the jogging...

Fiber - So the NP for my surgeon's office recommended I get a fiber supplement to work on my slow bowels. She actually said I should get "bulk forming fiber." I spoke to the pharmacist I w...

I've found the cure for a stall!!! - Apparently, all I have to do to break my spirit killing stalls is post to OH about how frustrated I am, and watch the magic happen! I hit that amazing 3 digit loss this morning! I ...

So frustrated with the *#%+$&@ scale - So I've lost 99 lbs. That's great, and I'm really proud of myself, and excited about that, but I've been stalled here at 98-99 lbs. lost for about a week and a half. I am so close ...

SV in the bag! - I have now officially lost the most weight I've ever lost before. Feels pretty good. And only 6.2 more pounds until I can join the 100 pound club! 

Capacity? - So I can have the same measured meal 2 nights in a row, and the first night it feels fine, and the next night, I feel over full, get the slimies/foamies, and get sick. I'm not sure...

NSV, baby! - Tonight I managed to get through Week 4 Day 2 of my C25K. It kicked my butt, but I did it all in one go (I had to break up day 1 this week with some strength training, or I wouldn'...

Almost...! - I am 0.3 lb. away from losing the most weight I have ever lost at one go in my life. It is SO close, and I feel like it is just out of my reach. I am really excited about it, but s...

Ouch! - I've been having problems lately with pain in my lower abdomen, mostly at night. It's something like really bad cramps with gas pain (maybe?). I've been trying to take Gas-X thinki...

Why? - Yesterday I did something stupid (oops, sorry). We were having my son's birthday party, and I made the cake. I make cakes. But when I make cakes, everything else gets shoved aside....

I am a rockstar - I had my 3 month follow up today, and the dietician and nurse practitioner were very impressed with my progress! They said I'm doing better than their bypass patients! I've AVERAGE...

Woot! - My tickers haven't been working, so it only JUST occurred to me that I have passed my halfway mark to my initial weight loss goal! Woohoo!

A couple NSVs from today - Today at work, I had 2 patients that didn't recognize me. One said, "Are you new here?" And the other was trying to reference me, and I said, "that's me." She said "Oh my god, I di...

Struggling a little today... - Today was REALLY stressful! Forecast calling for up to a foot and a half of snow makes people in the south lose their minds. I work in a pharmacy, and we were short staffed, crazy ...

A little of this, a little of that... - This is a multi-use post. There have been a couple of things on my mind the past couple days, so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with the things I'm going through...

Leftovers make me sick? - So up until this week, I was thinking I had passed through the vomiting stage, and was good to go to eat just about anything. On Sunday, though, I had some tilapia that I had made ...

Well... - I posted a comparison photo to my profile. I felt like I needed one to actually see the difference. It won't let me update my avatar or post a picture to the forum from my phone...

Clothes, clothes, and more clothes!! - So, I realized over the last several weeks, I've been avoiding the obvious - most of the clothes I've been wearing are getting to be way too big. It's to the point where I keep ...

New Gym membership! - I had been going to Planet Fitness, which is a great gym at a very affordable price, especially if you have a schedule that's a little all over the place, and if you don't have ...

Scale victories! - So I am just past 6 weeks post op, and I have a couple of scale victories. 1) I am under 250 lbs. this number is a huge one for me. Hitting that number at 15 was a huge problem ...
