Hi Summer!! Funny this is my first post in years. I had surgery in 2006. I am trying to get back on track as well. I have had some weight gain over the years of course and trying to get it together as we speak. I want to upload a recent pic but don't remember how.

I haven't had any plastics yet but I am about ready to have a tummy tuck but want to drop at least 25 before I do it.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Well....I went to see my primary today (first visit since post op).  Interesting visit.  I get there I get weighed and I have a confused look on my face.  Let me say this I weighed myself this morning before getting dressed and my weight was 272pounds.  The scale in the doctor's office said I weighed 250pounds.  I was puzzled by this.  By the weigh my appt was at 12noon.  After the nurse takes my blood pressure and temp, I asked to be weighed again.  This time the scale said 248.  I told the doctor his scale is broken. LOL.  If I hadn't had the surgery, I would have been very happy with those numbers.  Don't get me wrong I like those numbers right now.

And guess what??? No more diabetes medications.  Woohoo!!!! Still have to take the blood pressure medication.  I can deal with that for a little while longer. 

Doctor took a pic of me as he doesn't think he will recognize when I come back in 3 months for my next check up.  Haha. 

Your grandmother might be right about the friskiness. Heard eggs pack a good dose of estrogens. Lol.

My grandmother used to say it was the sign that someone in the family was going to miscarry.  But this is also the same woman (who I love dearly RIP), that said don't give kids too much eggs to eat because it will make them frisky .

Does anyone know what old folks use to believe about cracking an egg and finding a bloody yolk?  I know it means that the egg was fertilized,   It seems like my grandmother used to say there was going to be an illness or death int tthe family.  Has anyone ever heard of this.  I was just trying to get some protein in.....  LOL.  :)
