Hey, long time no hear. We should get a group of us together and head to Mexico. It is TOO $$ HERE. I need some work done too and it would be nice for a team of us to go, and we could likely get discounts for groups, I am told.
Lately I have noticed I can eat much more than before. HOLY! Have any of you experienced this? It is kinda scary. I have to star****ching my portion sizes.
Happy Mothers Day =)

I would have still done this to get to 210 but it just takes a bit more work to lose over 60-70% of your excess body weight . To some people it isn't worth all that extra work for the extra excess weight . 100% ewl is rarer for most people. Life is pretty good now I must say and I am content for the most part .
congrats on the surgery date on monday.
i had 2 hernia repairs done 2 weeks ago along with scar tissue removal.my main hernia repair was one that they hadnt seen before post rny.
as for the click:its awesome,its a mocha coffee protien shake.i have gotten so many post ops addicted to it lol.you can have it hot like regular coffee or cold like a frappachino.it has 15 gr protien in each cup.i go through 4-5 canisters at a time.i order mine from amazon and jump across the border to get it as i have a mail box there.it cost 19.99U.S on amazon.you can get it in canada on the internet.i hope this helps
I wish you nothing but a speedy recovery. Do they think you have a flu and this is affecting you worse? This may sound "out there" but what is "click"? Wishing you well. My surgery is Monday morning! A little anxious!
i am going back to work on wednesday but am still tired.havent been posting or commenting much as i have been recovering.i miss solid food.i am still eating very little as it really hurts to eat.i can feel the food moving through my system.i have lost 12 pounds since this has started.i am really hoping that this will end soon or i will call the clinic again.i am not Going much lately,i figure this is due to lack of food and the fact that they have played with my inards again and everything has to heal.i am still taking t3s quite often due to the pain of stuff moving.
please remember that if you think you have a problem call the clinic and discuss it with them it is better to be safe.
thank goodness for my click as that is mainly what i am consuming along with greek yogurt.i do try real food at least once a day but am warey due to the pain it causes.

They gave me a high number as well (195). I have not put my personal goal in a number..... I am leaning toward just being in the "normal" catagory with my BMI which would be 165. The goal weight that the NUT gave me would still leave me in the obese category - lol. I have people already telling me to stop losing weight, when I ask them how much they think I weigh, I get estimates in the 160s all the time - ?????? - I weigh 192 right now. I don't think I will be able to get down to the 165 mark (maybe after plastics takes some) and it DEFINITELY gets harder the further out from surgery you are. I have heard it said on here that the last 20 lbs are still the last 20 lbs..... as hard to lose as it was before WLS (deeeepresssing!) So don't get crazy playing the numbers game, make your success about your fitness, your clothes, your relationships (which can change for good and bad). Make sure you take measurements and pics in your "before" stage. I weigh and measure every Monday and it is really neat to see the progress on paper and in pics. Have you been to any Meet and Greets? now there is a wealth of information ...... conversations with people in every stage of the game.
