Hey all!!

Hey guys....I'm on another forum and they're just sooooo active. Let's get a really strong support system out here for us island folks. I mean...there are only a limited number of us out here in Hawaii...while in the states there are considerably more people. I'm only pre-op but I know there are a lot of yall post op folks out there. It doens't even have to be a physical kinda support thing...let's just start supporting each other HERE on the board What do yall think of having a daily whad ya eat or excercise challenge, protein challenge or anything....let's liven up the board Okay...I'll start off then...lol...what did I eat today... Breakfast: Pure Protein protein bar. 20 ounces of unsweetened iced Jasmine tea Lunch: 4 small summer/shrimp rolls (not the fried one...the one in the rice paper) and 20 ounces of water (oh...and don't tell...lol...two french fries from the hubbys McDonalds's meal) Dinner: 11oz Cookies 'n Cream Muscle Milk blended with a Luna bar and ice=pretty darn good shake. Total protein for the day-73grams Excercise- 1/2 mile uphill

WOW.....awesome job on the protein, I wish I could be as good!!! I haven't had anything to eat yet today, just a little bit of orange juice. And, LOL, no exercise, I really need someone to kick my butt to get me started!!

Wow Jessica - Check out that hot girl on your photo. I had to look at your profile. You look so different. Great job on the weight loss.

You are such a hottie!!! Congrats on all that weight loss...you really look great! How are you feeling now, I know you had a few problems with strictures and all????

Awww...you guys are great! I am feeling soooooo much better, it is like night and day compared to what I was a couple months ago. LOL..I can actually eat now and not throw up, I have energy, and everything, it's exciting! My confidence is getting better, but I think I still see myself as being 300 pounds, so that's a hard thing to work on---I'm trying though! I am down about 90 pounds since surgery so I am major psyched about that!! Thanks for everything!

I'm sooo glad to hear you're doing better! !!!!90 pounds!!!! that's so totally awesome!!!!! I hear the confidence thing and body issues lasts a while huh? I guess that's why we all work closely with psychs (i originally typed psychos...lol...whoops), but I can sooo totally see where you're coming from. When I lost a large amount of weight on my own after my first son...I still saw myself as 250 pounds even though I had lost nearly 50 pounds. I remember taking in size 20's to the dressing room, when I was wearing size 14-16 and being confused about why they were too big. Strange what the mind does to you. Dana

Wow - 90lbs. i just love those before and afters. They always give me such great inspiration.
