honestly since April 2011- as of literally today I have been to many family or good friends funerals. Today I went to another one.. death in the family, so far 4th one since November... so hard to focus on me sorry for the depressing tone.. but I feel blah!

aww yay!! congratsz!!! I feel a connection to you know, lol. I am happy for you. And you are right! I am so glad I came back to this forum. You are all an inspiration!

thank you all!!!!!! you all have motivated me again I use to be a size 22 and now a 13 so I need to chill lol. I need to plan my meals again and have a work out schedule and not let this depression get to me. I guess I compare myself to all 4 people that I personally know in my family and a friend who had the gastric bypass but they all weighed approx 300-400lbs and in a year they lost over 100lbs. I am different because they were bigger than I and I had the sleeve. I do not regret the sleeve at all. I am happy with it! so today I will start up again.. I am rereborn!!!

I will. I use to post at the begining alot but my computer broke and I just got me a new laptop this week! so yes I will keep in touch with everyone and this place always motivated me!

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! I am going to set mini goals and get my butt in gear... to the gym as of tomorrow or at least pop in a work out video, lol. thank you for the pick me up

honestly I stopped excersizing due to a death in the family. Got very depressed and stopped going to the gym. I should stop whining and go back, huh? lol i guess i am use to watching the fat melt quickly... I feel so depressed, I don't feel like I lost 69lbs at all. still feel 240lbs!

I was sleeved 3/1/11. I am feeling mixed emotions. I am so happy that I was sleeved. I wish it was 3/1/11, it felt as if I was reborn! However, I am very disappointed in myself. Is it normal to have only lost 69lbs in a year? I am 30lbs away from my goal I am having a hard time. Is there anyone out there who had this problem? I wanted to loose 100lbs by today! Please help, I am so depressed and feel like a major fat ugly looser!

well I feel like a failure... I have been sleeved about 6months ago. lost 57lbs, gained 4lbs back... how can I gain 4lbs in a week!!! I hope it's water weight or something.. I feel like just starving myself!

thank you all <3

thank you everyone!!! I need to buy me a laptop!! so I can be here more often, lol. I use my desktop which is in my daughter's room!! you all rock!!!!

I was sleeved on March 1st.... as of today I am -54lbs!!! I wore my first dress in over 10yrs this weekend! I wore my 1st swimsuit 2 weekends ago and I looked fantabulous, except the bat wings.. saggy skin, but honestly it isn't bothering me as much as it use to, I wear them proudly now. I just wanted to share my joy with you all!!! I finally fit in junior size large and out of the plus section clothes!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of me, I am so proud of all you I love this community, thanx everyone for all your support

you look great!!!!!!! Love seeing awesome results on WLS <3 congratz!!!! can't wait til I get to that weight!

woohoo!! let us know so we can all cyber celebrate!!!

I am a little over 2.5 months post op and I still get super cold, even when it was 90 degrees outside. I asked my doc couple weeks ago, he said it was normal with the surgery, it will take some time. meanwhile I am the only nut with a coat on outside, lol. I don't sweat anymore, which sucks, it makes me feel as if I am not working out hard enough when I really am trying. Bow Chicka Bow wow dept is as hormonal as a pregnant woman.. what the heck! I guess this is all part of it the surgery effects.

time to celebrate the poop!!! lol

I just heard about Biotin, Vitamin for hair/nails. I am starting to loose my hair, has anyone used this yet? If so, let me know how it is, is it over the counter? Side effects? Very curious, I had thinning hair even before surgery!!! thank you!!!

I guess I live under a rock! What is Biotin? Do I get that over the counter? I will be honest, I haven't taken Protein shakes in about a month!!! I did however purchase a Protein powder supplement that sprinkles over food. It's just too much for me, bleh... today I did have a Protein shake for Breakfast. anyways.. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS!!! CAN'T WAIT TO POST ANOTHER WOOHOO POST... REACHING MY 2ND GOAL OF 175LBS!!!!

My cousin had WLS in Nov, so she has been giving me advice on what to expect. One of them was.. depression. I never understood why would anyone be depressed after loosing weight? I am approx 2months post op, lost 36lbs, but why do I feel depressed! She tried to explain why she was sad, which didn't make any sense to me. The reason why I feel this way is because, I feel disappointed. Not sure why. Have any of you been through this, or are going through this? I am sitting at home, feeling very lonely and left out... bleh

Hi everyone! I have been MIA, friend recently passed on and I just couldn't get back to life. Slowly getting there. update... I still can't eat, but I am o.k with that. I just work with what little I can eat. This week at work for Breakfast I had 1/2 cup of oatmeal, lunch I ate chicken Cesar Salads, prob like 1/2 a cup. Every 4hrs I nibble on some cheese, cheddar or laughing cow. I sometimes have a small handful of almonds. I can't really eat meats or anything dense/solid. I try to eat Soups and soft stuff. I am o.k with it. Yesterday hubby ordered some pizza and the grease smell made me sick to my stomach. I am not complaining, I actually like it. Keeps me away from all the junk. I am approx 2months post op and so far lost 34lbs, I was a size 22 pre op and now a 18 fits me big, but a 16 fits me tight.. woohoo!!!!! I am happy!!! Just wanted to share my joy with everyone, hope everyone is doing well. I missed being on here <3

you are all amazing seriously, thank you again for your encouraging words!!!! I LOVE THIS FORUM!

Thank You I should quit being whiny, lol. I should quit comparing myself to everyone and just focus on what I am loosing.... OH BUT... GREAT NEWS... as of yesterday, I realized that my boobs are now bigger than my tummy tire roll!!!! woohoo!!!
