I am struggling with depression. I have been from a young age. I'm on meds for it and in couseling for it. I still struggle with not wanting to self harm. So I know how you feel to struggle.

I had it done May 2011. It's not an easy fix, it's a tool to help aid you with a new healthy lifestyle. I know some people think it's the easy way out and that's not the case. There really hasn't been anything easy about it. Yes I've lost a lot of weight since my surgery,but now I am battling bowel issues and constant…

I have mine completely closed.I don't eat much. I had gastric bypass last year so I don't eat much because of it. I've had people tell me I need to eat more so I keep it closed.

DO NOT GIVE UP!!! You can do this!

WAY TO GO!!! You should be proud! You can see the difference

I don't eat the calories back.

My son works out with me. Hes almost 4 years old.

YES YES YES!!!!! I completely agree with you!!! I had Gastric bypass done May of last year. I have been told by many that it's taking the easy way out. There is nothing easy about the whole process.

Keep your chin up! You can do this!

You lost me at getting up early. I'm not a morning person at all.

I was 28 (I just turned 29 on the 26th) when I had my surgery, I was the youngest one. My surgeon told me that I picked a good time to have it done because I was still young.

Hello! I am Steph. I am 29 years old from Wisconsin. I had gastric bypass May 17th,2011. My highest weight was almost 500lbs. The day of surgery, I was 381. I'm now 231. This surgery honestly saved my life. My health was going down fast. I'm a mother, so I need to be around for my son. I got denied at first but I appealed…

I lost alot of hair starting at 3 months and it lasted until I was 7 months out. I'm almost 8 months out and it's growing back thicker than before.

I feel this post is putting people down who had weight loss surgery. If you have never been through the process, then you don't know how hard it is. I had gastric bypass surgery and I don't regret it all. I was on death's door. I tried losing weight on my own, I always gained it back.

I know some gastric bypassers that are the same way. I had gastric bypass done in May. Before my surgeon would even think about doing surgery on me, I had to change my lifestyle. I changed what I ate, and I exercised more. I lost a 100lbs pre op. I've lost a 149lbs. If a person isn't dedicated, it won't work like with your…

Hi! I'm a bariatric patient as well. I had Gastric Bypass done in May of this year.

You can do it!!!!!!!!

Sometimes daily. I don't log it on here though, I just log it once a week. I am very close to my mini goal weight and it's starting to drive me mad lol.

I love my coffee!!!! I don't drink it black. I put creamer in it.

I drink coffee everyday and I am still losing weight.

I proudly tell people who much weight I've lost. i am happy with my weight loss :)

Good luck with your journey! I've been on here for over a year now.

I will be your friend :)

I admit it, I'm obessed with it. I had someone hide my scale so I can only weigh myself once a week.

Ideal weight for a that is 5'9" is 125-169. It all depends on what you feel comfortable with.

I did The last chance workout and I lost 30lbs when I was done with it.

Because in my opinion, it's a waste of money to drink. I'd much rather use that money on myself or my son.

I eat just the toppings on pizza.
