Thank You everyone...Its been a great ride.I hear people doubting there decision about the surgery but I would do it all over again...It's been a lot of hard work. but I AM WORTH IT!

Thank You so much...

  I wanted to post my newest photos because I'm so excited to be 6 months out from my surgery and down 60 pounds. Speaking of 60, I'm also excited that 60 percent of my excess weight is GONE!

I just went to the doctor and asked him this question...And he said sleeve patients loose about 77% of there excess weight..were full gastral bypass patients loose approx 80% of there original excess weight..I've never had the band so I'm not sure of there outcomes...My question is what stops us from loosing 100% of our excess weight? My eye is on the prize ! No one is telling me that I can't loose 100 %..

Yes ..you can eat more..I'm at 6 months and the doctor says we should be eating 3/4 of a cup of food...and later in the 1 year mark 1 cup.

I have a question..after all this work why are you thinking of when you can eat fast food.?

I didn't tell anyone about my surgery until the weekend before my surgery.I just didn't want to here any negative talk..especially from family..My husband and my daughter were the only ones that knew...It was my journey .

I really enjoy Pure Protein Bars..alot of protien in a nice size bar..

I am an August sleever also.I have lost appox 56 pounds.The last 5 weeks I haven't lost anything.So I went to a trainer and started a new workout program.Then I went back to the nutrionalist to go over my calorie count per day..who knew I wasn't eating enough...And finally today I lost 1 more pound..

Were is the Pics? Congratulations.!

I would love to hear more..!

Can you tell me what your beginning weight and current weight is?

No ..I work with all women..And I do think at least 30 percent are just waiting to see us gain some weight back..or slip up..I do get some rude comments like..."I see your eating more now"or are you suppose to eat that...I would like to say I am happy for the people who loose weight..I am a lifetime member of weight watchers..and worked there for some time..so I am always going for the underdog..I think worse then women ,

are family members that are waiting for you to slip up...

I am almost 6 months out also, I still can't believe its my body..I wake up thinking its a dream and I still will be overweight but thanks to a decision I made to change my life it worked out wonderful..58 lbs and counting...It slowed up alittle but I am going to increase my gym workout to shake it up..Good Luck with those braces!

I am so proud of you ! I have been following you since I had my surgery you have inspired me to believe that I can do whatever I put my too. It's snowing here..so it will be a gym day for me.

Hi ..I also have only 82lbs to loose when I had surgery.I'm only 4 foot 9..so my BMI was high and was able to get the surgery..I am now 5 months and 2 weeks out and lost about 55 lbs..but it has slowed up now and I have to work for every pound I loose..I go to the gym 3 times a week and eat only what is healthy for my sleeve..I wouldn't worry about loosing too much..I would do this again in a minute...Its giving me my life back...and that is a wonderful feeling...You deserve it.

Hi..My name is Barbara I am from South Philadelphia..Right Near the stadium and spectrum...that I can here the games without actually being there..lol..I am married to a great man for 22 years..I have a 21 year old daughter..My journey with my weight problem started when I had my daughter and gained 50 lbs..that did not come off..Then about 8 years ago my husband was diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer..He now has a urine bag...but I don't care as long he is here with me to go threw life with...Then approx.4 years ago my 16 year old daughter(my only child) was diagnosed with cancer ..Its's been 4 years she is in remission and is doing great..she just moved to florida..So this is were my weight loss journey started..I decided It was time for me..so here I am 5 months out ..58lbs lighter and determined to get back to the old me...thats what keeps me going to the gym and eating right ...Its time for me..

You are truly an inspiration...So now we need to get rid of those plaid shirts and wear something more form fitting ...Keep up the good work..

I don't remember them putting it in..or taking it out ..I think I was under for both..But the only thing I do have to say is that they warned me some patients get there period with the surgery and sure enough it brought my period on....

I stayed in the hospital 2 nights.Only because my surgery was later in the day..I was back to work in one week..yep one week.

I just went to the surgeon last week..I went for her to look at my chin area because I carried a lot of wieght in my face and now that I lost almost 60 pds an the skin isn't bouncing back...She said that I need to wait to get to goal or really close My insurance will not cover that.7.000 But. she says I probably would be covered with my insurance for a Tummy Tuck and boob lift..If i start getting it documented about rashes and soreness from sweating were the overlapping skin is they will cover it.She does alot of weight loss patients..s
