Topic: 8 week check up
Hi Everyone!!! I went to see the surgeon day for my eight week checkup. I am now off pureed foods and into the soft food stage. Hooray!!!! I also lost a total of 45 pounds since surgery. I am not on diabetic medication. My blood pressure appears stable. And I think my sleep apnea has resolved itself. Not to sure on that one. Will wait till I take another sleep study to confirm. But I know I don't snore anymore. And I am cleared to exercise some more (besides walking of course). Good news all the way around.
NSV Alert
I treated myself to a new pair of capris over the weekend. It came with a belt. I haven't worn a belt in years. Well I wore them Saturday on a bus trip. I buckled the belt in the first hole. I wore them again today and had to buckle in the second hole.
It's the little things in life that make me happy these days. Forget the numbers on the scale!! Not! It's things like being able to bend over and tie your sneakers or wearing a belt. I think I need to treat myself to a new outfit to wear back to work. Hmmmmmm......

Topic: RE: why were we overweight in the first place
Yes........exercise will (and should be) an essential part of your everyday life. I'm not sure where you are in your wl journey, but for sure know this........ Whatever procedure is chosen, it is not an "end all" for weight issues. It's not that magic bullet that needs no assistance. It will take that drive, determination, positive attitude and a total buy-in into the program to make it work for you if you're serious about taking the weight off. You will need to exercise, take the protein, eat less, drink more water, and have an overall winning attitude.
Yes.......You will indeed need a change of mind and heart to succeed with the surgery. So start now, and keep it moving!!...........
Just my thoughts.........from a reformed lifelong loser!......

Wow! This was news to me! I don't ever remember him having a weight problem.
I hope he gets the needed rest and medical attention to restore his health.
Thanks for sharing.

Topic: THIS IS A LITTLE NAUGHTY...
If you know me you're not surprised by my taste in humor. 
Buying Flowers
A BLONDE and a brunette are walking past a flower shop.
The brunette sees her boyfriend inside and says: "Oh no, my boyfriend is inside buying me flowers again."
The blonde asks: "Why is that so bad?"
The brunette says:"Every time he buys me flowers, he expects something in return and I don't feel like spending the entire weekend with my legs in the air."
The blonde asks:"Why, don't you have a vase?"
The Docters Cure
A man went to see his docter concerned about a mysterious ring that he had found around the tip of his penis.
The docter looked him over and immediatly gave him a lotion to rub around the infected spot and told him to come and see him in the morning.
The man come back in joy saying that the ring around the tip of his penis had all but disapeared like it was a miracle.
He curiously asked the docter, the lotion you gave me is it some new wonder drug?
The docter replied chuckling, no my good friend it was lipstick remover.
50 Cents
After many months of trying to make ends meet, a couple decided that the only way they were going to get any extra cash was to have the old lady start hooking.
Early the next morning the wife came home looking very haggard and worn out. The husband guiltily asked how she did, to which the wife replied that she earned two hundred dollars and 50 cents.
“That’s great!“ the husband replies. “But who gave you the 50 cents?"
“Everybody!" replied the wife.

Topic: RE: JUST CAN'T LET GO
Not trying to rain on your parade, but....
With a VSG, you still absorb 100% of all the calories you take in.
I have a DS, because I knew I would need the malabsorption to maintain my weight loss. The top half (restriction) part of the DS is a VSG.
If you ever need the malabsorptive component, you're already halfway there!
I guess you could say we're "half" sisters
Keep a coupla big outfits you really like - you'll be able to use them for "demo" purposes later, and if God forbid, you get some significant regain, you'll have a coupla cute outfits to wear.
Not hatin' on the VSG, but I would consider getting the small bowel switch half for a full DS. It's more of a pain with the supplements, but I'd rather do supplements than risk regain!
