Topic: Do I have the ugliest mug or what?
Lol I was just trying to liven up the board a bit. I am on a 2 week stall now and it is driving me nuts!
I actually picked the WORST possible headshot of me to go along with my posts because I am quirky and wanted a more dramatic before shot for when I look really great (maybe in another year or so lol). Anyway if you want to see me from about 1 month ago, you can check out my profile. I had hubby take a shot of me dressed up to give my final 7.5 minute speech for my Public Speaking class I took last semester. I really should take another picture to keep things current. Perhaps I will ! I went shopping at Walmart yesterday and bought 3 tee shirts and 3 pairs of stretch capris size 18-20
That was an eye opener that I was able to fit into that !
How are the rest of you Feb losers doin? Hope you are not stuck like I am! Fill me in! Have you been getting in protein and water? Exercise? I wanna know!

Hi, Kristie. It's not a breathing tube they will be cautious about. It's the NG tube. That's a naso-gastric tube that goes through your nose and into your stomach. You can still have one (and may, after surgery), but they don't want people putting those in without knowing where and how small your stomach is.
They aren't changing your throat or your lungs, so a breathing tube would be the same as before surgery.
Good luck!

Yes for me also...been at 174 for 2 weeks. Today was the first day I got all my vitamins in, my B12 shot and 1200mg LCarnitine. I also started on my Pilates and had already been using the Gazelle. I was in bed thinking I have to sleep I 'm so tired, took my shot and one capsule every 20 minutes or so until I got them all in, within 1/2 hr, I was up dressed on my equipment, worked outside in the yard, then came in cleaned the house and on to the garage. I just kept going and its now 3AM and I am still wide awake reading the board.
I took L Carnitine (1200mg 2 times a day(liquid) from June to Aug and I lost 15 lbs that stayed off without changing a thing. (this was 6 months prior to surgery) So hoping my old regime will work for me. I was holding back on exercising (dr told me no tummy until 3-4 months) and my regular capsules vitamins since I was vomiting everything up. Feeling much better, well as long as I only eat soup or cottage cheese that is.
I had 3 other surgeries with my lap RNY so maybe that is why I am just loosing a little slower.
