lol love it!

I Thought I would be happy as a 12 then when I got there I wasn't. I'm a pretty solid 8 especially in dresses and a medium in most shirts. I never thought I could imagine myself as a 6, but now that I have reached my goal...Maybe???

congrats on your loss! What a great inspiration!

my mom had the vomiting issue with her band and yet had to have it removed. With RNY I have never had this issue. Wish I could give you some advice, I just don't know what the answer would be.

I was looking at pics of myself, and was amazed at how fat I thought I was at 150lbs. I made that my goal. Now that I am there I actually am going for 5 more lbs. at 5'3" 150 is still considered overweight. Though I am happy with my size and overall appearance, it is more about thinking I could only hit 150 now I know I…

I have lost a significant amount of weight but even at 150 lbs Im a 34 DD. The Anita bra is my favorite! I also wore this when I was 304 lbs and a 44J! There was no bouncing, no moving!

I find the fluctuations fun! I can gain as much as 3 lbs. in a day. I really get a kick out of weighing myself right before and after a bowel movement. It actually keeps me sane. So I know that I am only fluctuating. I wont count a loss/gain unless it sticks throughout the day for 5 days or more.

This is not healthy or sustainable. Try eating the grapes instead of the juice, you'll get more satisfaction that way. Drink water. Soup is fine, but long term you might find your diet to be boring which means you won't stick to it. Also, at the end of 30 or 60 days, what will you eat? If you'll go back to what you have…

This!

lmao

bump... help guys nobody even read my post- You all needed the support, friend keg64

Dr. Garth Davis is my surgeon and wonderful. I have used the Vega Protein, but he actually encourages getting your protein naturally. He says we don't need as much as we think we do. Please feel free to friend me.

My loose skin- saggy thighs, and bat wings- My stomach is worse but not as noticeable to others!

definite difference. keep it up!

great idea! Gonna Try in the morning!

great job! you look amazing!

My mom also had the lap band, which is different from my surgery. She did not learn to eat with hers and lived on roman noodles and crackers, everything else she vomited terribly. when she wasted away to 93lbs. we all said enough. I took her to the dr. and we scheduled a removal. The band had slipped and was wrapped around…

Thanks me too but sadly it is now too big. lol!

yay got pics working!!

I love veggies, so it is hard to understand for me. so no suggestions for that but yes eat fruit. lots of it. and different kinds. widen your pallet. for lunch sandwiches are not bad. eat a whole grain bread though. also try a yogurt, or boiled egg with it. Try tuna to mix it up a little instead of lunch meat. a handful of…

if that is all you are eating it is not enough. I had weight loss surgery a year ago so my stomach is the sive of an egg and I eat more than that. Break fast sounds good. Half a sandwich is a snack not lunch. Huge salad with eggs nuts cheese and chicken is a lunch. then a pm snack like apple and 1 oz of cheese or almonds…

wow great job! you look great!

I believe I am gluten intolerant. As a matter of fact, even though my surgeon says that gluten had no effect on my gallbladder which I had removed in march of this year I know my attacks occurred when I had high gluten diets. That being said I do eat bread and other high gluten and carb foods now at 14 months post op. I am…

Thanks all I am on track. I still lose though slower. I have issues with milk and ice cream type things too. Really anything high carb puts me to sleep. And that's what I mean by issues. I ate a 6" sub tonight and actually went a few bites too far. I should have skipped the last 4-5 bites as I was already full and…

I am a 36 G in the Anita sports bra ($85) and wow!!! It is amazing. Keeps the girls in place along with the HR monitor as this was a problem before. A D and DD is not so big...I'm a G for goodness sakes! Go to a real bra store and get sized!! My guess is that if you are in that much discomfort, you are not properly sized…

Don't worry about stalls. I stall every month! lol. I loose nothing for 3 weeks then about 3-4 days before TOM I drop a few pounds and during the first 3-4 days of TOM I tend to continue to loose, then nothing!!!! for weeks! Then the cycle begins again! I am 1 year out and have 18lbs. til goal weight! It is a slow process…

Good Luck!

wow! impressive!

OMG yessssss! I know the feeling. After having lost so much weight I find myself with the same struggles in clothing I had in high school (the last time I was this size) I have to buy bigg to fit my thighs and butt! Then gappy waist, or just plain yuck! So I have found a cheap brand of jeans that I like, actually 3: 1. Old…

This- use avocado on salads, or to top your chicken, and use almonds or pecans in salads for the crunch or in yogurt and oatmeal.
