YorkieMommy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 You're welcome!!! Uhhh, not so much on the weight loss. I lost 7 of the 14 (it was 10, but then I gained 4 #-o ). Maybe I'll lose some more when I'm starving all day tomorrow waiting for pre-op testing, LOL.
usmcwife Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 Well atleast you lost weight!! I lost 9 of the 15 I was supposed to lose!! I don't think I did too bad! AF made a visit so I think it's water retention!! I'm so excited!!! I can hardly contain myself...haha!! Yeah I will be ready to eat anything in site by the time we have all our tests done!! haha
YorkieMommy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Don't forget to bring AF supplies! I think we did good and hope Dr. Miranda thinks so too.
shrty835 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 well keep us posted, on the weight thing I go next week and I' stuck also. I need to get it off to save my life.
banded4life Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Hey! Good luck and let us know how it goes. You may want to bring some Phazyme. I originally brought gas-x but it did not work very well. I borrowed some phazyme and it worked much better. Also, if you are going to do any shopping, you may want money for that. When you have to tip the drivers, bell boy, etc. the money goes fast!
