Great information

Thanks aylajane & ac7nj

I love your honesty, you are doing phenomenal! Don't stress over anything in life...I know easier said than done. There are checks and balances. You/We have made a complete lifestyle change and it comes with ups and downs. You are human and will definitely have to make some tough choices. Today I choose Cheesecake,…

YESSSSS!!! My desk chair is killing me. lol

Note! Don't compare yourself EVER! We are all unique. During this journey I have notice how I can wear the same size as some of my friends but the clothes look different on me. So its not about any of that, its about HEALTHY! No more PILLS, lymphedema is getting better, so over all WINNING #DOWN 70lbs! 7/2/14

You look fantastic! Keep going! You will get to where you want to be!

I too am struggling with constipation! Doctor told me fiber, water, water, walk and walk.

3 months out post op

Awesome welcome to onederland! I am still pushing to get under 300...small goals!

Happy for you, your my motivation, I can do it too :)

Congratulations, I am 5lbs away from 50 lbs. That will be my first milestone...then fight for the next 50, then the next, then the next! I am 13 weeks (3 months) post op. Looking for some bigger results since I have recommitted to exercising daily.

I'm proud and happy for you! I have yet to really commit to exercising. I know I would be loosing faster and toning. I have to get it together! I really need a trainer or a work out buddy.

I take the liquid and I purchased it from GNC.

I am 10 weeks Post op. The biggest lesson I have learned is that this is a LIFE LONG Journey. I mess up, eat to much sugar, eat a piece of fried food, of course worst during my pre menstrual cycle. The cravings are horrible. But then I shake it off, get back on the horse and get disciplined. I too am not working out daily…

Trust me, I am positive you can fit a 14-16 from the Avenue! I am not in a Target size 14/16, lol I haven't tried it yet, but I seriously doubt it!

I am 8 weeks post op. I don't have any CONS. This was the best decision I have made for my health EVER! Do I miss a Whopper and Chili Fries....surprisingly I don't. Can I eat that if I wanted to....YES! But WHY? The reward of improved health is greater than the risk of continued obesity!

I have one and I absolutely love IT!!

Ok, so I have a victory to share as well. I donated a boat load of clothes size 28 - 22. I still have a closet full because I am a shopaholic, nonetheless, I purchased some motivational clothes in a size 14-16. I tried them on this past Sunday.....and they FIT!!! I would most likely wear a girdle with them, but they FIT!

Now I think I have acid coming up into the back of my throat. It is very raw.

Thanks

Go out on the "Professional" Course and kick their "Professional" *kitten*! All you have to do is finish! It doesn't matter the position, just cross the finish line! They don't understand your journey and never will because they are not you. Please keep your head up and keep pushing.

YEEEEAH so happy for you!

Well there was movement the scale did go down. Still not as fast as I would like but gives me hope that I well not fail at this too. There is always a great of being on the 5% that the surgery didn't work for. Waiting to cleared for water aerobics.

Thanks :) I did start my cycle on Tuesday which may be part of the stall..... This would be my first period after the VSG surgery.

I am 4 weeks post op and I had a lot of people telling my husband that I was going to leave him after the surgery as well. He was very scared about the surgery. He didn't want me to have the surgery because he didn't want me to die on the table, but wanted me to be healthy so he supported the surgery. During the recovery…

Thanks all. I have an appointment for my next check up this Friday, so I will share all of this with the doctor and nutritionist to see what they advise.

I have those pills as well but am not taking them. I am taking so much as it is...including a urinary tract infection pill which is taking forever to go away. I got that because I was dehydrated. I am still trying to get the hang of this new lifestyle. Its like I am either eating or drinking ALL DAY. I am still struggling…

No they are not serve they are just annoying. I am like, I just ate, why is my stomach hurting as if it is hungry? I am eating every 3 hours, from 8 to 8.

Got on the scale no change but I am fitting into my clothes better. That is a positive sign.

Thanks all.
