Topic: RE: Protein ideas wanted
Hi Karen,
I started buying protein bars at Walmart. They are only 50 cents (cheaper than a candy bar) and not only do they satisfy me, they have 20 grams of protein. I like the peanut butter and the chocolate chip the best. They dont taste bad either.
Topic: 81%
I had a checkup with my surgeon on Friday. He says to me.. "you're normal, see you in 12 months" Just like that lol. I have lost 81% of my excess weight so far. I wonder if I can hit the 100%..which is about 13lbs by June 20th? I have a date on May 18 to go swimming with sharks...no cage... maybe they can help out LOL

I am having a Full Tummy Tuck with Verticle Cut. The insurance pays for that. I am also having a Breast Augmentation/Breast Lift!
I got fitted today for my garment. When I got home I tried it on! It goes from above your knees all the way to below your breasts. It also has suspenders. There is hook and eyes going down the outside of each leg with a zipper on top of that. It was hysterical seeing me put that on! My husband had to help! I hope it fits better after surgery. I felt like a sausage!

WOW. I cant even think of tt until after 1 year out. That is what my wls said. You had yours done the same day. I am so excited for you. So what are you having done? I am thinking of going to Dr. DiNick also. I have been to a seminar with him and Carey and he does wonderful work like you said. Keep us posted.

Oatmeal. I have ALWAYS hated it since I was a child. I remember eating it once as a child and it made me sick to my stomach. Now, I eat a package EVERY morning of Qucker Weight Control Banana Bread or Maple and Brown Sugar. I have done this since I was on the mushy stage. Isn't that weird?

I am in shock! In about an hour, I have to to my pre-op appointment. I will be fitted for my garments and implants. On Tuesday the 17th, I have my bloodwork. The big day is April 27th! This has been a rollercoaster. I was scheduled for May 21st. So I thought that I would have plenty of time to get my work place, money, and home in order! Not so! I had to re-do paperwork for work. I have had to figure out how I will be able to get $8000 on short notice. I am WAY stressed out. The biggie, you might ask? I am SO nervous this time around! Don't get me wrong, I am SO happy that I will have a normal tummy. Dr. DiNick has done some awesome work on people.

I think I will be forever stuck at 183! I guess all in all, I have been 'stuck' at worse numbers!
Everyone is doing great!

I looked on the suger free pudding pkg and there was no sugar alcohols. I try not to eat alot of those either, but sugar really knocks me out. The milk was lowfat. I never had a reaction like that to sf pudding before so thats why I am thinking it was not sf. I also can't eat Bread it feels like it is swelling up in there and i get a stomach ache. Am I not normal or what? I am not losing as fast I don't think as everybody else. I know every body is different but, my scale says I only lost about 127 pounds I am getting enough protein and I even joined a gym. My scale still says the same for the last 5 weeks. I bought smaller clothes a month ago that didn't fit and now they do but the scale won't budge. (I need a new scale lol)
