Ok, so i know I am a light weight, but it's still exciting to be in the 100's for the first time in a long time. As of today, I weigh (on my home scale) 199. On the doctor's scale I'm 197. I started at 255 back in August, lost 20 pound pre-op and then started surgery at 229. So I've lost 30 pounds in the 6 weeks since surgery. I lost most of it the first 2 weeks and the past 4 weeks have been slow going (or even at a complete stall), but as long as it keeps on moving in the right direction --at whatever speed, I'm fine with that. So far my total weight loss since August is 56 pounds! My diabetes is getting better, I have a bit more energy, I stopped snoring (yay!), and I move around much better! I'm even taking my kids to the park again. Life is good.
Yeah Onederland!!!!
Sheri ;D

Woot woot! Isn't it great to feel so good? You only have more energy and more weight loss to look forward too. Keep up the good work.
You look gorgeous in your latest avatar pic.
BTW, did you ever try the Shirataki noodles? I had them once and rinsed them for about 5 minutes under running water but even then I didn't really like them. I might try what another poster suggested and rinse/cook/rinse and then use. I am too afraid to try real pasta, I have had a bite or two and even that small amount destroys me.

Shelly, nope I never tried the noodles--but I intend to one of these days. So far, a few bites of pasta don't do anything to my stomach--but the Shirataki noodles have some stuff in them that might not work for me so I'm leery. Thanks for the sweet comments! Can't wait to see you soon. |

How exciting, Sher!! Anything that started with a 1, on my scales, is reason to shout, scream, laugh and do the happy dance. I remember when I saw that for the first time, I must have taken ten photos of the scale. LOL, Id get on, snap, get off, get back on, still the same? snap, snap, off, on, snap...Happy to say, all pictures still showed that "1" at the beginning.
