i was fairly lucky as most of my skin shrunk back even tho i lost 120 pounds. the little bit i have does not qualify me for insurance covered surgery however i am trying to save the money to get it anyways. vanity you know, lol. if i do pay out of pocket it will be only for the skin around my tummy so maybe a tummy tuck.…

i am almost 3 years out. immediately after surgery i left the country and had no post surgery after care, took no vitamins ect and im paying for it now! i went down to 126 pounds but i felt ill. finally went to the doc and i was chronic anemic, extremely vitamin deficient. i now get monthly b shot and every couple of…

i am almost 3 years out. i went from 253 to 126. i didnt look good that thin so i tried to gain some back. it took a minute but i got up to 137 and loved that weight. now however more has creeped back since i started eating candy and stuff to gain weight. i started bad habits. i got as high as 153 and i was like hell no!!…

my first 2 weeks werent too too bad that i recall (im almost 3 years out). i did end up getting prescribed more pain meds cuz i did feel quite a bit of pain and my stronger pills ran out! and the backup ones for home were crap! i think i had meds for 2 weeks. i had no appetite at all..... the worst thing for me was im a…

i buy salvation army/thrift store items, also clothing swaps with other people losing weight (try support groups especially for gastric bypassers)! craigslist! ebay! also if you can get away with it buy stretchier pants such as yoga pants that will fit longer. and shop around. theres a store in my town that sells real…

i had a bypass so i did go from 253 to 126 in less then a year. i was accused of being very ill and or doing drugs lol.... i have recently gained some weight back tho and am now 144. its way healthier looking but im scared of the regain and going back on track here at mfp. oh and i also kinda dont like all the male…

i cry a lot. guess im a crybaby lol, but a book, a song, a movie, anything emotional, can make me cry. and if its personal forget it im a wreck lol.

as soon as i wake up i down a bottle (each bottle is 2cups) with a packet of energy crystal light, after i bring my kids to camp i walk my dogs and make sure to carry another bottle with me, as soon as i get home i pop in my insanity or zumba dvd and during my workout i down 2 bottles more! so by like 10am ive already had…

how tall are you? i used to be size 22 my heaviest was 253 im currently 144 size 9 smallest was 126 size 7. i did not look healthy at 126 tho, people actually asked me if i was sick! your doing great.. just wondering if 120 is a good weight for you!

i had a cup of pure 100% oj blended with a scoop of vanilla whey protein, a cup of water, and a banana. oh and ice cubes.... it was 263 calories and delicious

this...i believe the same. you need to reset your metabolism and this takes longer than 2 weeks! also you might try cycling your calories....

i half a half grapefruit almost everyday i put it in my protein shake. not sure if its helping or not but i heard it does and im having decent weightloss with everything im doing combined!

to me it tasted like watered down milk. and since i use it pretty much only in my protein shakes i cant tell the difference from the real milk i used to drink.
