Topic: RE: Encouraging news my July Buds
Amber, that is wonderful. I had my surgery 7/31/06 and have lost a total of 27 lbs. I think it's slow, but hey...at least I am losing.
Thant's for the encouragement.

Topic: RE: Friday Five...weekly update
1. What types of food did you eat this week? baked pork chop, ground beef were the new things, lots of cottage cheese, chicken taco salad, 1/2 scoop of sugar free ice cream
2. What types of exercise did you do this week? walking, especially to get the ice cream
3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I stalled this week I think -1 for a total of -52
4. What was your biggest challenge? I miss popcorn
5. Is there a food you eat now that you wouldn't eat before? Not yet, I still haven't tried a lot of things.
*Fun bonus question:
What is one thing you want for Christmas? Just like everyone else, to get clothes that fit! Especially sexy underwear (did I really say that out loud?)
Topic: RE: wow moment 40lbs!!
Based upon the presurgical loss to this morning on my own scale (not a good judge tho) looks like 52 gone. I would say 50 for sure, but my clothes sizes have dropped by 2 full sizes. If it weren't for my C-section tummy, I could comfortably have dropped another. I think my severely stretch marked abdomin is going to be the problem area for me.
I think what has made me the happiest is looking at my face in the makeup mirror and seeing cheekbones and not fat around my neck and behind the cheeks. I will take a loss anywhere, but that makes me feel really good.
I know others have lost more, and some may have more to loose, but I will take a loss at any rate, as long as I can. I should be drinking more water, and getting more protein, and exercising more, but those things have always been issues for me, so I am happy. You should be too!! As long as we are loosing, let's savor the successes!!
Take care!

Topic: RE: calcium supplement
Jennifer, did your doctor tell you to take calcium carbonate or citrate? My doctor told us to take the citrate because the carbonate does not absorb as well as citrate. Calcium carbonate absorbs at 10% and citrate absorbs at 50%. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Topic: Any post-ops near Sacramento, CA??
I am looking to find some support close to home. Maybe start a group that gets together and maybe even support for spouses. This is such an incredible journey for all involved and it is hard for some to understand.
