Tired Of Trying
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

Small Rant
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.

Panties, Glorious Panties...
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

July 4Th Challenge
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

Panties, Glorious Panties...
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!

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

People Sleeved Around 03/22
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!

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!

July 4Th Challenge
Okay, phewwww, had a short stall and it kinda worried me there for awhile. Things are back on track and down four more pounds. I have 11 pounds to go and only 16 days to do it. Maybe I was a bit too aggressive in my goal. No matter, I'm still going for it! HW: 358 SW: 335 CW: 302, 297, 293 GW: 282

Depression
The first 4-6 weeks were tough, was thinking I was going to melt overnight and when it wasn't happening it was depressing. Three months out now and doing and feeling great. It will pass.

Brand New.
Renee, I read your post and it sounds exactly like my journey. I turned 49 this year and decided that it was time for me to take of myself. I had surgery in March and have had no complications. I would do this again in a heart beat. I am losing consistently and am happy with my progress. I gained alot of weight after the twins were born and have continued to gain over the past 19 years. I finally decided that I needed a permanent tool to help me get back to a healthy weight and keep it off. This was the right choice for me and am loving every minute of it.
