I am swimming a lot lately- laps are super fun!

Oh my weigh in isn't right.. I have lost 6 lbs since then!

My friend got tattoos on her outer ankles of her two kids.. and now she is pregnant for her third. I don't know where she is getting that one! My advice is to make sure you have a place that is adaptable for more babies ;) You could always get a name bracelet .. my friend has one of those and its really pretty.

ooh I never noticed.. I will try and pay attention to it today :)

Thought this posted but I guess not! Start weight was 270 Currently at 226 lbs

I am almost 8 weeks out and I still don't have much of an appetite until I force myself to eat.. then I feel hungry while I am eating but not all day! I kind of hope that it stays like this!

I have lost 46 lbs :D down 6 from last week!

I think you will surprised at all of the positive that you will receive. I told everyone at work and now they walk with me, check up on me, and ask me what I am eating. They are all so supportive. I haven't heard a negative thing! Its really great to know that I have that support all day..not just at home. I believe you…

IDK how to post pics but my profile pic is a before & during :D on the right I was 270 lbs on the left I am at 224 lbs i am 7 weeks post-op today!

My niece once said "Auntie don't lose your Jiggly Bigglies cuz if you do you wont be soft like a pillow any more" and another time she was playing a pretend game & said "I'm going to pretend to be Auntie..she grabbed a blanket and sat on the couch." That was one of those days that really made me realize that I need to get…

I don't have any pics on this computer but there is one on my ticker.. it says "My body is a gift to me" in Mohawk with a red bow. It is on my left collar bone. I have seven tattoos.. working on saving enought to get my 3/4 sleeve on my right arm. I go to Body Art Tattoo in Plattsburgh. I am also getting a T-Rex :D

I do share everything with my man.. every pound.. every smaller size. We are really great at communicating. I always worry when people say "Don't change" I think having more confidence is a great thing..not a negative. My man says I was beautiful at my largest size. I am pretty lucky. He is amazing. We did have a hard time…

I am only 6 weeks out but I also have some serious dips in energy. I am sending you my sympathy ;) I try to eat when I feel like I am slowing down! Do you have sleep apnea?

eat potatoes as little as possible.. lots of starch. They are my last resort. Do you know what the menu will be? Find out what it is and make adjustments. If they serve lasagna you can eat all but the noodles... If you are on pureed foods, you could always bring some string cheese with you.Thats my pick-me-up and adds…

I am walking about a half hour a day .. about a mile or two depending on how fast I go. I am 5 weeks out so can't workout like I want to yet.

I use that pantene for hair breakage.. and it seems to be working. I haven't taken biotin since before surgery. I am 5 weeks out.

I am about 5 weeks out from surgery.. I don't regret it at all. Its a hard adjustment.. everything changes but for the better. It is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do but I needed a constant reminder to take care of myself properly, to have some self discipline and to say goodbye to my old friend food..…

I am really proud of myself for making the decision to have this surgery. It wasn't an easy one to make! I tell anyone who asks me.. I don't care how they feel about it because I did the right thing for me.. I'd rather they hear it from me then to whisper behind my back- and you know they all do! If they want to be rude or…

I am 3 weeks out from RNY .. follow your surgeon's orders to a tee.. make sure to go slowly even when you are bored to death.. keep reminding yourself that you just had major surgery. Do not eat anything dry when you are on pureed foods only.. Its awful! Breathe through your pain, don't hold your breath- it hurts more..…

Just got a shoulder tat on saturday :D

congratulations :D
