Topic: RE: Where to buy SF syrups?
I bought two big bottles from Bean and Berry it's in the Shawnee Mall. They were a little expensive though ($10.95 each). I got Chocolate and Caramel. But they had other flavors too. I think I'm going to order online from now on. I live in a small town and they don't have anything out here.

Hey! I'm Holly...
I'm a surgery newbie. I've been an OH member/lurker for a while.
My surgery was 2/16/10. I weighed 298 that day.
I weighed today at 285.5.
The day of the seminar I weighed 317.
I had to do the six month diet bs. I only lost about 17lbs.
Total loss at this point 31.5lbs.
Still recovering from surgery. Everyday is a challenge.
I'm taking it one day at a time.

Lap RNY 1/12/09
Starting weight 231
current weight 125
for a loss of 106 lbs.
I have made my doctors goal but I still want to loose more because I'm so scared of that bounce back. I need to be better about getting all of my vitimines in, I get them all in about 4 days a week.
My high blood pressue is gone, my fibromyalgia is better, sleep apnea gone. I still have not done any kind of organized exercise...that will get better when it gets warmer.
I have went from an 18/20W to a solid 4 in pants, shirts are all over the place but I have went from a 42G to a 36 Long LOL.

Topic: RE: Weight Wise post-op diet more restrictive?
The best is yet to come!!! 
I had the VSG through WW on August 5, 2009. Between my pre-op diet and weight loss after the surgery, I was down 100 pounds on December 10, 2009. A 100 pound loss in 6 months is tremendous! I NEVER cheated... not even a bite or a sip of anything.
Just the other day I was thinking about how great a bagel and cream cheese sounded. I never ate many bagels pre-op, but by saying I can't have any kinda makes me want them. I decided that if I ran to Panera I could have a couple bites of a bagel for energy and that it would probably be okay since I'm so close to goal. So, I ran there, got the bagel, sat down to have a few bites, and headed back out the door to continue my run.
Well, that bagel came back to haunt me that evening. You see, I only ate just under half the bagel, but I ended up having some of the worst stomach cramping in my life and couldn't sleep that night. Let's just say that I don't think I'll be wanting any more bagels for a while.
Many people think that it's unhealthy to live without simple carbs. That is not the case at all. Just think about what cavemen used to eat. They ate protein, probably some veggies, and nuts, seeds, and berries. Now, I'm sure the cavemen would of eaten some cookies if the Pilsbury Dough Boy would have been there to bake them, but he wasn't. Rice, pasta, potatoes, and bread really have no nutritional value whatsoever. You can get some calories from them, but you'd probably be hungry an hour later. Protein is best!
My numbers seem pretty good and I'm happy. I know that it's because I was so strict and faithful for so long. I truly believe that you get out of it what you put into it. It's not a cure all. It's a tool. We still have to do the work.
WW is, by far, the most successful program that I've seen and I honestly believe it's because they are so strict. I am forever grateful for WW and they've helped me have the life I've always dreamed of living.
Current: Size 8 and still losing!
