Omg my phone apparently didn’t update...I just saw your pics. I’m sooo happy for you and an amazing bikini season for you!

I’m soooo excited for you! Post pics!

I love the dating scene! There are some weirdos and creepers, but the world has been my oyster! I've loved meeting new people. My bf is amazing!! This time around, I know that things are on my terms. I think that the big difference is that I used to aim for someone to like me...now I know that I'm awesome, and men are…

Opurity multis are great and I take Bariatric advantage chewable iron and bariatric advantage calcium soft chews. The only shakes I drink are premixed premier shakes. I love the caramel and the chocolate. I put a vanilla or caramel one in my coffee every morning and have for a year and a half.

You can add me! I had RNY 11/15...down 223 lbs and happy as can be.

How wonderful! Congratulations!

Thank you all soooo much. I don't want to sound crazy, but reading your comments and encouragement helps me sooooo much! This much change in life is scary and a bit unsteady. I really appreciate your kind words and support!

I agree! Sip sip sip vs snack snack snack!

I'll be your friend!

Thank you!!!!!

Giving yourself the gift of your health and longevity and quality of life will be just as beneficial to the family that loves and depends on you! I understand that feelings are feelings, but life on this side of surgery is amazing! Please think of the changes in food that you are making as an integral learning for your…

I'm finally feeling better. That was ROUGH! Thank you for sharing your experience Nicole! It'll b a while before I'm back to normal, but I'm able to function lol.

I will! Thank you!

I have virtually no hair. I have to keep it slicked back in a little kid's hair thing twisted 4 times and loop the hair because there is no pony tail to speak of. I've always had big, curly hair so this is a huge change for me. The doc said that some people have extreme hair loss. My labs are textbook perfect. I use nioxin…

Two years and 220lb difference...new me and a new man. I love my life!!

Dating was terrifying! Intimacy seemed like judgement day. I was with my now ex for 17 years. We divorced 6mo post op. I've lost over 200 lbs in just over a year and a half...my body looks like a deflated balloon hahaha!!! I'm very lucky; however, and met a wonderful man. He and I are serious now, but it still amazes me…

Thank you all for the comments and for sharing your struggles and successes! I've been amazed through this process how my friends and family have jumped on board! Many started exercising with me and some even completely adopted a healthier lifestyle and brought their families with them, incorporating clean eating and…

Hahaha Krissy!! I just did the same thing the other day!! Yay new life!!

That's a good idea! Thanks you!

Thank you all! This is such a relief to know that this is normal. I was really starting to get worried. I love my new relationship with food!!

Oh thank you!!! I thought that I was losing my mind. It's a huge relief to know that this is normal.

Yay good luck!! It is an amazing new life on the other side waiting for you!

I keep premier shakes and tuna or salmon packets in my desk....I forget my food all the time too lol

I just came a cross a pic of me from Easter last year....here is one of me 2015 at around 417 and one of me last week at 267

It took me YEARS of changing my thought that the surgery was bad or unsafe ...4 months out now, and I couldn't be happier or more confidant in my decision. I love my new life! The decision process is different for everyone, but I could see where my life WAS headed...soooooo glad that I took the stance and changed my path!

I don't eat bread, rice, or pasta....but I have saltines occasionally or wonton wrappers. I make cloud bread.

Wow!! Excellent job! You look great and soooo happy!

Welcome!!! I never would have believed others when they told me how much pain would go away with weight loss. I'm down 150lbs now and I feel GREAT!

I had a weird internal stitch or SOMETHING! Every once in a while I felt a dull ache or a stabbing pain. I let my dr know and it went away after about 4 weeks.
