You look great! Congrats

I tried it years back when I was doing Atkins, its pretty good, I also heard you can use spaghetti squash alternative too, I've never tried it before though.

You look amazing! Such a transformation in such a short period of time, congrats! P.S. Love the phone case!

You look amazing!! You have such a tiny waist!

It's so weird to be able to feel bones you were once never able too! I love that my collar bones are starting to show.

Thank you ladies I mean I can tell I have lost weight when I look at pictures, do certain things etc, but I don't feel I lost as much as I have lol. I just think because it has happened fast, because in the past I have lost 50 pounds and could totally tell, but back then it took me like 7 months to lose that lol Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you Alot of days I feel like I look like I did pre-op, it's hard sometimes, I guess it takes our minds awhile to catch up. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey everyone, I found a old picture today and wanted to show the progress I have made so far. The first picture is from 4 years ago (I dont know how much I weighed in it) and the second is from this past Saturday. My highest weight was 360lbs, day of surgery I was 338lbs and I am currently 237lbs, I have been in ANOTHER stall which seems like FOREVER but I hope I will be able to get down to my goal weight.

Sounds like your doing great!

You look great! Keep it up girl

Anyone who thinks getting WLS is the easy way out can kiss my ass! Lol thats all I have to say about that! I have been struggling lately, it really sucks. To me it seems the further out I get the harder it does, I see some people early out saying how hard it is, yes it was hard, but around that time I was so turned off by food, I would forget to eat and had no interest in it at all! I could watch others around me eat yummy foods and not mind at all. Now it seems like lately all I think about is food, I dont know why. I have been eating like crap lately, I want to eat when I am not hungry at all, I know its all head hunger and all that, but its just as hard to say no. No food upsets me, so I can basicly eat anything if I wanted to. I feel like I am so new to all of this even though I have been sleeved for almost 9 months, Im not sure how much to eat at each meal, I try to see how much others are that are the the same ammount of time out and some people are eating 3oz, then I see some saying 5oz, its very confusing, I guess I am just scared about gaining weight back. I've also been very tired lately, I havent had my labs done yet (so I know very bad) I have no insurance, so it will be at least over $1,000, I dont have that kind of money right now, my mom told me she would help me, but I will have to wait for that, I think maybe some of my levels may be off? I dont know, but I am still taking my vitamins on a regular basis. Anyways, I know Im rambleing, I have no one in RL who has gone threw WLS so sometimes its frustrating when no one understands what you are going threw.

http://www.shopyourshape.com/body-shapes.html Here is the definition: As a Spoon Body type (sometimes called figure 8), your hips are larger than your bust and you have a defined waist. Your hips have a “shelf” appearance, you are prone to gaining weight in your tummy and have a tendency towards love-handles. While you may gain weight in your upper thighs and upper arms, your lower legs and arms are shapely and your best assets.

When I put my measurements awhile on one of these sites it said I was a "spoon" shape lol so I have no idea! Im 5'7, Im thinking 160lbs for a goal weight, I really have no set goal though, I have been overweight my entire life so I dont know what will look good on me.

I have a Martha Stewart one I got at Macys, I really like it.

I will have to check that wax out, it sounds awesome, Im not good with the regular wax lol

I never had a butt, but when I was fatter it kinda looked like I had some lol, now its just flat, I wonder if the squats would help. #whitegirlproblems lmao!

Oh man I had a horrible wax experience, I bought the professional kit from Sally's and one day wanted to wax my upper lip, Im not sure if I put to much on or what but when I pulled the strip it ended up taking a little layer of skin off by the corner of my lip and it ended up looking like a cold sore for 2 weeks lmao Sent from my iPhone using VST

Has anyone tried that new Olay cream hair remover? Sent from my iPhone using VST

What other things do you use the flax seed for? I've heard about it but have never tried it and wondering if its worth it to get some.
