Way to go Joy and Stacie!!! You'll be there before you know it 'Stine. ~bb

Good job Susan. : Ditto on your thoughts about this amazing tool. Sometimes it feels like a long time since I've had this surgery and other times I want to pinch myself to make sure this isn't a dream and I'll wake up to find it hasn't happened at all. This has been such an 'a-ha' week for me. Even though the losing has slowed considerably, the inches are still coming off quickly. I guess our bodies really do need to catch up. I practically skipped a size 12 altogether and went from a size 14 to a size 10. My husband and I have been doing so much fun stuff that I NEVER would have attempted before........ I've taken up golf, we bicycle at least 1 day a week, & I'm going to do a half marithon this fall with my daughter, niece and sister-in-law this fall. I used to hate exercize and sweating. Now I love it. Life is good! I applaud 'us' all barb 276/158

Very exciting!! CONGRATS!!

same here basically. It is physically impossible to eat and drink for me. I will take sip at the end to rinse my teeth out but that's about it. Like everyone else said you will not feel the fullness long enough if you drink and eat at the same time. I say the reasons you listed are the real reasons.

I hit 199 yesterday too!! But how tall are you? How in the world are you in a 10! I need to shop at your stores. I'm in a 16 right now and I started out in a 26. I'm so glad I'm over the 26's. Goodtimes!
