B:  none because I had an early dr. appt.

Hi Gina!  Congrats on getting off your blood pressure meds!  That is awesome!  Let's see...what is "wonderful" about my surgery....I can fit into my clothes!  My blue jeans and most recently my black jeans!  I am fitting into more of my cute summer tops.  They just looked horrible before and my arms were so big I thought they were going to rip some of them made of very thin rayon or linen.  It feels good to be losing weight instead of gaining weight.  My beauty is coming out.  IT was pretty buried by my swollen face.  Some things are getting easier.  I think when people lose as much as I've lost they have gone down in sizes but for me I was wearing only stretchy clothes and so now I am fitting into my other clothes so I don't feel such a big difference.  I have been sick the last 3 days and have had to cancel my personal training sessions and other appointments.  I canceled for tomorrow too.  I am hoping to be able to go on Saturday but not holding my breath.  Jon and I are not going to our dance class tonight.  I hate this!  But I know it will pass.  Not sure when... but it will.  breakfast - protein/fruit/ice smoothie snack - smoothie lunch - 2 bites ricotta/spinach/cheddar bite (Amy's Organic), broth from chicken & rice soup (JOn ate the rice) dinner - not sure my stomach hasn't been good today I did order 1 box of Supreme Protein bars & 1 box of Oh Yeah bars and received them today!~!  So I will probably have a few bites of one of those.  Have a great night everyone!

Hi Lish, love seeing your smiling face every night.  I totally know what you mean about clothes sizes.  Myself, refused to buy anything 40 lbs ago so everything was so tight I was a sausage everyday.  Now, everything fits and is getting big.  I can't even tell what size I was I am guessing a 26/28 because all my 24's have buttons or zippers that are broken and shirts forget it, if it wasn't stretch I didn't wear it.  I love clothes and can't believe how I walked around for the last year (gained the most weight ever)  I am so... looking forward to getting back into pinks.  Yes the color.  I love Legally Blonde, even though I am a brunette.  Hope you feel better soon.  Hang in there.  Gina

I was a sausage too!  Only I didn't dress up very often so I could get away with my stretchy clothes.  I am still a 26.  I was probably a 28 or higher...eek!!  I think that is why I didn't buy anything bigger than 26.  I love pink too!  Hence fushia being the signature color of my wedding!  I  looked on your profile to send you a pm and we are almost the same age!   When is your birthday?  I am a December baby!  1970.  I will be 38!  I've waited a long time to get married.  Kissed a lot of toads!! LOL  For some reason I thought you were older than me.  I guess it is bc you have kids that are like 10 and have been married for a while.  Have a great night! Lisha

Well now that you ask, my BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW, I AM GOING TO BE 39.  I was born on June 27th.  1969.  :  )  Gina

Congrats Gina on your good BP. For me, not such a good day. Fighting with my husband and now I have a headache. So I took some Tylenol and am going to chill out for a bit. B-12 grain bread with smear of PB L- 1/2 bumble bee tuna fillets D- 1/2 c ff refried beans with dab of sour cream and avocado dip-- yum Not much else for today. Hopefully tomorow will be a better day. Night all

Hi Tara, thank you.  Try to go onto your profile and add your surgery date.  It is helpful to know how far someone is out in order to answer questions ect...  When ever my husband and I have a spat, he always reminds me that we are going to be together for 100 years why waste any of this time being angry or mean.  It usually snaps me out of it.  Most things are rarely important enough to fight over.  Funny, how, men are pretty simple, if you love them up and treat them very nicely they are usually pretty wonderful back.  Us women, forgetaboutit!  LOL!  Gina  : )

I can't figure out where I can update that. Help!

Hi Harley, look at you, 4 weeks out and getting so much protein in.  Good job!  Thanks for sharing.  Do you do anything to make your shakes taste okay or just get them down?   Gina  : )
