I have found that telling people that I can still eat what ever I want just much smaller quantities but that I am choosing to eat healthier seems to go over much better. They seem to accept my choice to eat this way rather than it being a restriction.

Sleeved 3/19 and down 76 pounds.

I'm in Portland too. Maybe we start our own support group?

Yum I love that combo

Yeah Furby!!! How are you doing?

Furby and both had dr. Patterson. She did an amazing job.

CBT where are you getting your surgery done?

Just wait, soon you'll say "don't trust farts". Hahahaha

It has been 90 days and I have lost 42 pounds since surgery and 65 pounds overall. It's not as fast as I had expected but I have decided that for me, slow and steady will win the race! I am so glad that I took this step in making myself a healthier me!

Congrats!!! That is wonderful, keep up the good work.

Way to go Dooter!!!

So I notice all of a sudden this week my panties all seem so big and baggy. I know I should go and get some new ones but wonder at what point in your weightloss did you drop pantie sizes? And was it one or two sizes smaller that you bought. Thanks!

Keep trying, it really is hit or miss. I posted about panties and got more comments then when I posted my 90 day before and after photos. That shocked me as some people post pictures and they get pages and pages of comments and then I posted and didn't even get half of what others got. Hit or miss I guess. Hang in there and I am always willing to talk. Karen

I can so relate when it comes to mothers. I don't have any siblings around to pass her off to but sometimes I wish I could. She has been very supportive of the surgery but I get those little comments all the time about gaining weight back and "Oh, you can't have that anymore". I think she chooses what to hear and acknowledge and it drives me nuts. She'll say "oh you're doing so great, I hope you don't gain the weight back" OMG, every single time and each time I tell her about how that can't happen. I think they lose their filters as they get older.

Mental note....stay away from boy shorts. I hate creepers. I have never understood the thongs either....talk about having to pick! Eww. Maybe when I'm closer to goal but I just can't imagine.

That's the Urkle style. I have pants like that from when I first started. Now it's my underwear that's doing it. Lol

So down another couple pounds this week, should have been more and I know what I need to do differently to make this better. More fluids and up the Protein, I have got to get more fluids in. I have 8 pounds to go in 9 more days, I hope I can do this. We are having a family reunion at the end of July and was hoping to have lost at least 100 pounds. That is four more weeks and 32 pounds, probably not even going to come close but I'll take what I've done so far and Celebrate it! HW: 358 SW: 335 CW: 302, 297, 293, 290 GW: 282

Went to the dentist today and I actually fit in the chair! No hanging over the sides anymore! WooHoo!

Could also be bone spurs. I would see a Dr. right away.

I'm in Portland!! Sleeved 3/19!

I was sleeved on 3/19 and have lost 65 total pounds, 42 since surgery. There is no way I could have lost 42 pounds in three months on any diet program out there. I am so glad to have sleevie working for me!
