Congrats to you! You look great! Weight Watchers is a great program. In 2010-2011 I lost 60 pounds by doing WW on my own not going to meetings or online. My issue has always been keeping it off though. I get to a point where bad habits start to creep in and I ended up gaining back 40 pounds I had lost by the end of 2011.…

Good luck to you. I thought about lap band surgery in Jan 2011 but after attending a seminar I decided it wasn't for me since I had lost about 60 pounds doing weight watchers on my own in 6 months. Fast forward to Sept 2011 I got off track and had gained back almost 40 pounds. Come Jan. of 2012 I decided I had to do…

That is wonderful! I have bone on bone on my left knee and was told I am too young for knee surgery and then with my weight they wouldn't do it. I don't want to have a knee replacement either so the news of them not doing it wasn't bothering me but I needed relief from the pain. I got a cortisone shot in that knee in Feb…

LOL! It's when you weigh 199 or less! "What is this "Onederland" of which you all speak? It sounds very Peter Pan like. I don't think I want to go there." [/quote]

Thanks for sharing your story and being brave enough to show your before plastic surgery pictures. You are an inspiration! I had gastric sleeve surgery on June 11 of this year. It sure isn't taking the easy way out but for many who don't know that much about weight loss surgery they think it is. I lost 47 pounds pre op and…

My surgeon puts everyone on a 2 week liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery. I could have 2 whey isolate protein shakes mixed with skim milk and 2 shakes mixed with water. I was allowed to eat sugar free applesauce, sugar free pudding, cream of wheat or oatmeal (sugar free low cal) and a list of approved veggies that were not…

Mine recently was fitting into size 16 jeans! Yahoo! I am out of the plus size section of stores and now into the Misses section but lost when I shop since I haven't shopped in any misses clothing section ever! I have been obese all my life, wore "chubbies" as a kid! I've been hitting up the local Salvation Army for…

Chobani 0% greek yogurt has 14 grams in a container. I usually can only eat 1/2 a container. I eat it for a morning snack and then the other 1/2 of the container for lunch. Have you tried edamame? The dried is good and with lots of protein. Good luck! I struggle with getting enough protein in also. I am only getting about…

I haven't told many people either about my sleeve surgery. I told a co worker who had sleeve surgery last year and then I did tell one other co worker via email right after surgery. My Mother knows and my hair stylist knows since I was asking her what to do to prevent hair loss. That is it. I haven't told my closest…

Thanks. Shoulder is better some but today it's really bothering me. I go back to work tommorrow working 1/2 days 8am to Noon and then the following week back to full time. I get to start soft protein foods tommorrow like cottage cheese, egg/egg sub, diced chicken, tuna. Looking forward to being able to chew my meals…

I've been going to Goodwill and Salvation Army for clothes. On Saturdays my local Salvation Amy has a certain tage color that are 49 cents a pc. I look for those. I have bought sizes 14, 16 and 18's to fit in as I loose. I am only out 49 cents if they don't fit and will just give them to my Mom or donate them back to…

I would plan to not be able to eat…

Thanks everyone! Tommorrow is the big day! I was hoping to met my personal goal of loosing 50 pounds pre op but as of this morning I am at 47 lost. Oh well, that is still pretty good considering I started tracking weight on here in Jan of this year. Got the house all ready and mowed the yard one last time yesterday. I have…

I bought a 5 pound kettlebell I use while walking to my at home dvd. I have been doing 50 arm curls with each arm. I am wanting to move up to 7 pounds and then 10. I saw a weight set on Walmart I might get, not kettlebells but would work for what I am doing now. I have bad knees so I can't do alot of the exercises I have…

I joined MFP end of Jan of this year. I started the process of weight loss surgery mid Jan of 2012 and working towards a surgery date. I have gotten the ok from the Psych., Physical Therapist. I am sure my Nut. would sign off too since everytime I see her she says I am doing great and I bring in a week of MFP logs for her…
