feel free to add me...I am in San Antonio :happy:

So awesome! Great job!

I am nine months out and thats about where I am. I was 800-100 for awhile but stopped losing. I found that when I increased to where I am now I started losing again.

Do lots of research. I have seen some success with the band..and some not. Same with all surgeries though. I was thinking of either the sleeve or the bypass. I eventually chose the bypass because all of my research led me to believe that was the best option for diabetics and I have been diabetic since I was a child. Over…

No kidding...especially the cherry flavored one. I have to fight my hubby for them!

Awesome! I still havent tried wearing belts yet. Maybe I should give it a whirl!

Welcome! Will send you a FR :)

So sorry :( I tend to go the other way...very easily constipated if I dont stay on top of my fluid intake

congrats! Sounds like you are doing awesome :) Will send a FR

LOL....omg...seriously this thread is awesome

Love greek yogurt...I live on Dannon light and fit. greek only 80 calories and 12 gms protein. yummy

greek yogurt. I use Dannon light and fit....80 calories and around 12 gms pf protein. Tofu and beans are a good source also.

drink lots of water...protein, protein protein.. If I dont get enough protein I am starving too.

According to your ticker you have lost almost 20 pounds...looks like progress to me :smile: Its not unusual to bounce up and down a bit...I do it all the time. The scale doesn't always tell the whole story. How do your clothes fit ? Have you been taking measurements? Lots of times when I am not dropping pounds I am…

Anyone can add me. Mine is open. I dont always make the best choices, but it is there...the good, the bad, and the ugly!

MFP doesnt fail...the person using it does. The work comes from you. MFP is an awesome tracking tool and the support is great. You get out of it what you put into it :smile:

Believe me...that 6 months will fly past! Use this time to start making the habits that you will need to continue after surgery. It will be here before you know it!

I had to do the liquid diet also for 2 weeks. Believe it or not, after the first few days it wasnt bad at all. I developed a secret love affair with sugar free popsicles! I think at that point I was so excited and nervous about my surgery that the days just flew past. Congrats!

bumpity bump!!

Mocha Frappe Shake 1 scoop of chocolate protein 1 scoop Click mocha protein powder 1 cup milk ( I use either light soy or fat free lactose free) 5-6 ice cubes 1 tbsp sugar free Torani chocolate syrup (find it in the coffee aisle) or sugar free salted caramel is good too! Whiz it up in the blender til smooth. Tons of…

Good question...I am still waiting for my brain to catch and be able to see myself as other people see me. I look in the mirror and cant see the difference yet. I still tend to head straight for the plus sized clothes even though I can now easily shop in the "regular sizes". Its a journey...

You look amazing! I still remember the first time I walked into a store that was not a plus size store and bought something off the rack...I literally had tears in my eyes. I also struggle with not seeing myself as other do and I still see that 300+ pound girl looking back at me in the mirror. It is a journey and you are…

Every pound gone is one you never have to see again! Good job :)

:laugh: Made my morning...thanks! Hmmm...wonder whats in the kitchen....

Feel free to add me if you like. I still have at least 70 more to go so I am in it for the long haul!

I started taking biotin pre-op. There is no way to prevent some hair loss. Its gonna happen. I was really concerned about it too. The biotin wont prevent it from shedding, but it will help encourage new growth. I was convinced I was going to go bald! Guess what? I didnt :happy: It thinned...but it is now growing back in. I…

I find that people treat me differently now. I am not sure how I feel about that really. I am still the same amount of awesomeness I was almost 100 pounds ago :laugh: Strangely, it seems that the smaller I get, the more visible I become. Weird.

If you find a place like that let me in on the secret! I swear the first 20 pounds I lost fell right off my boobs.

love MFP <3 Anyone can feel free to add me if they like :drinker:

OMG...you are getting so skinny...to which I am sure they are all smoking crack since I *still* have about 70 to lose.
