Topic: Moving to Holloman soon....
My husband is active duty Air Force and we've been given orders to Holloman. We're not sure on a time frame, but no later than August is what he's been told.
I haven't had surgery yet... actually expecting aphone call today sometime to get the ball rolling. I know I want to have the surgery before we move out there, since there are no WLS surgeons in New Mexico.
My question to you all is... do you know of any plastic surgeons? In case I need excess skin removal surgeries? I've my fingers crossed that I won't have to have them, but I'm also a realist. I've been heavy for most of my adult life, and I carry my weight all over. I think the latter will actually keep the amount of saggy skin down.
Thanks in advance!

Darlene, if you pass through Kingman on your way to CA, give me a shout! We'll be in that area mid next week for a bit.

Hi Kat, So happy you are doing great. Nice that you found a surgeon "relatively" close by. I'm going to try to see if I can get a group together next month sometime. I go to Calif. next week so I'll work on it when I get back...around middle of the month.
Hope to meet you soon.......Darlene

Do you like yogurt? I buy the plain non fat yougurt from walmart and put sugar free dry pudding in it until it tastes good.......... yum. I even sucked on a spoon of low fat peanut butter, yum love peanut butter. There is sugar free syrups (I have strawerry and Rasberry) I add that to my vanilla whey protein (1 scoop at a time) with some splenda and maybe throw in just a few frozen blueberries or strawberries and yum............ ice, water and blend in the blender and I could drink that all day.
You need to get your protein in extremely important so experiment.......... I drink decaf coffee and have even put that into my protein shake because I love the coffee taste.
Good Luck.............. keep up with you liquids......... what about sugar free pudding?
