Hi! I lost the gained weight plus 1!! I know Kittycat, I have to stop weighing, but during the first week, I was losing so fast I got addicted to the scale. I'm just so excited about this. Everybodies responses are very appreciated. I knew in my mind what was going on, I just thought maybe something was happening that I didn't know about. I will really try to stay off the scale, I need to hide it. I have until next Friday of liquids. I can't wait. But am keeping busy trying to get my mind off of it. My house is sure organized. Tara

Hi all, Here I am going into my 3rd week of liquid diet. I did so well the first week. I lost over 10 lbs!, But when I started the creamy soups, it stopped, and I've even gained 1 1/2 lbs back. Is this normal??? My group that had it done the same day are having standstills also. I just wondered what to expect. Is it from the sodium in the creamy soups? I think it might be. I just started adding liquid protein supplement to my diet will that help? I'm hardly eating anything and for a weight gain over a week of killing myself is crazy. :lb20: Thanks for your answers. Tara p.s. day by day,,,,,that's all I can say

Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration. Time for a new wardrobe now, that's for sure. Tara

Sounds great. I'm a new bandster but by 2009 I will be an oldie. I voted for Las Vegas purely for selfish reasons. Hopefully the staff can come wherever it is. Let me know if there is a job for me. Tara

Amazing, I'm so glad you do the before and after. What a difference! Gorgeous! =D> Tara

Glad you are back Stormy. See? I told you it would go fast. Heal, Heal, Heal...... Tara

Hi Stormy, I had surgery exactly 1 week before you. I've been thinking about you. The time will fly by. It was pretty much a surreal experience for me. I had 2 margarita's the night before, so I'm bad too. It was my birthday. The mall is down the street, take a cab, are there other people with you doing this. We had a group and split the cost. After we got back from staying at the hospital, we shopped and dropped. The next thing I knew it was almost 10p and I went back to sleep and it was time to go home. You will be uncomfortable for the most part, but just do what they say. It get's better every day. I have lost over 10 lbs on the clear liquid diet this week. I'm having creamy soup today. It's worth it!!! We are all cheering for you. Tara

Ok my 2 cents. I heard we were not supposed to use a straw. Or are you just gauging it by that? I just got my surgery on Friday, and up till about an hour ago I was fine. Now my stomach is growling. Tara, I can't wait to get home to that lifesaver popcycle. Tara

That was a great post. I have surgery in 3 days. I appreciate knowing how hhhot everybody is. Now I can be prepared. And I'm going to take my book to get signed. That was a great idea, Michelle. Maybe it will give me the courage to ask for my panties. Thank you Gina! Tara

Getting exicted!!! Don't bite your nails cottonwoodaz. Good to see you are going Twiddledee & daughter. With the 2 Taras that makes 5. Anyone else for the 12th? Pool party on the 11th if anyone is interested. It's my birthday,

You look so good!!! Thank you for inspiring me. I know you said you were going to take the bikini pictures off, but having a before picture really is nice. You don't even look like the same person in the face. You are so pretty. Not that you weren't before. I don't know, maybe you have another before picture you would want to post. I love your hair!!! Keep it up!! Tara

You are an inspiration!!! Congratulations.... Tara :lb24:

Good to hear!!! Thank you for taking time to write to us. Tara

Vix-Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It has helped relieve some anxiety that I'm feeling. And thank you for letting us know about the heating pad. I look forward to your pictures and hearing more from you. Tara2sassy4u and I get banded on the 12th. Not far away. Take care, Tara :-h

Thank you all so much for the support. I just came back on the forum and saw all the replies. I have been having problems the last 2 nights, eating the wrong things. I have 10 more days to lose 4 more pounds. It will be hard but I'm going to do it! I'm on 2 shakes a day & 1 lean cuisine. Can we not have healthy snacks in between? I'm dying. Thanks, Tara

Sorry, very new to this forum stuff. Anyway we arrive on Sept 11th. @ 4:40p.

Hi, I'm scheduled for Sept 12th!!! I'm very excited. I know there are a couple of you that are on the same day, maybe we can hook up? My friend Tara & I (oh no 2 Tara's!) will be arriving in San Diego @ 4:40p. By the way, she is having the surgery also. Thanks!

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new as of yesterday, and I'm having my surgery on Sept. 12th. My friend whom is also named Tara is doing it with me. We are both very excited. My birthday is Sept 11th, when we arrive. I guess I won't be eating cake! Anyway, I thank everybody for all the useful information that I've been getting off the forum. And I will be on here often. I look forward meeting you all! Tara
