Ms skinniness

Congrats! I just bought a bike and had my daughter's bF put it together for me. I can't imagine riding it. I've just been looking at it. LOL such a great feeling.

It wasn't that bad, it was quite a small amount to sip. Did the job.

I'm in! Today I weighed 152.4 lb. July 4th i want to weigh 149 lb.

I'd increase my water intake and take it down a notch. Great start, Keep it up!

I can't believe that I just gained 2 lbs within 10 seconds of weighing myself. No, I did not reach goal. I'm in for 4th of July challenge! I weighed in at 252.6 the first time and the second 254.3. Either way I didn't make the challenge.

There is always tomorrow to get back on track. I always eat protein first and then a little of something else if I have too.

Just smile and be grateful that you want to save your life and are willing to work hard for it. Your friend has a very low self esteem and God Forbid, you are successful and then she'd have to re-evalate herself. I go by the notion that I have chosen this procedure and it has helped me ten fold. I would do it again in a heart beat. LOL ]

Thank you for sharing.

I am 5'6 and my stating weight was 223 lbs. Sevenonths layer I weight 150 lbs. I have passed my surgeons goal but my goal is 130 to 140 lbs. Weight loss is so slow that sometimes I doubt myself and eat things that are toxic for me. So I get back on track with protein. I will always eat proteins first and I really dislike breads now. Hope we all get to 130 lbs! We will!

Don't forget that alcohol is toxic and cam kill u'. Ur stomach is much smaller and u can easily over do it in 2 sips. People with was have died from alcohol poisoning. I choose Heath over alcohol or drugs.

Only you can stop yourself. What I did was go through my kitchen and threw away all the junk food. I then cut my portion size down by half and was hungry for a week or so but then adjusted. This is a choice we make and I was determined. They told me that I couldn't loose any more weight, bc my BMI was too low so I tried to gain but kept loosing. Then the doc realized that I had comorbities and approved it anyways. You have come this far and have committed yourself to have this procedure, so now it's time to adjust your thinking by acknowledging that we really don't need to eat all that food anyways. You can do this. Time to get control of your choices and tame the head hunger monster! LOL Good luck!

You are so lucky! I had to go buy a new ward robe and now I own 2 jeans, 1 that a little bit big but will do. Great NSV

I don't know the answer but would like to wish you the best! CONGRATS!

Thanks to my sleeve, I LOVE MY SKINNINESS! I would do it in a heart beat! Orange juice is acidic and causes stomach problems, so I don't drink it. If so, just a sip.

You will have curves and if you exercise, you will have more definition in wanted areas. When you get down to where you like your bod, then you start your maintenance phase. This surgery has very few complications and everyone I've talked too are read their feedback would have the surgery again in a a heart beat. But it is not easy, it requires constant work and patience. Good luck with your decision.

Congrats! Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S CLUB!

So happy your home! Congrats!

That is not their procedure. Talk with your doc and see if he'll contact the insurance company and make some arrangement with them. Insurance companies don't budge, but if the doc wants the business, he will step out of the box and call. If he doesn't, you might have to look for someone else. Might even have to drive further.

I can fill it in the left side of my stomach and my eyes get kind of spacey. I sneeze and i burp. LOL

I eat way too fast! I need to slow way down because I eat a little less when I eat slower. other then that, eating fast hasn't really bothered me.

Welcome! This is a great place for support and to give support!

BTW CONGRATS on your approval!

It wasn't real to me until they were rolling me into the OR! LOL

When i came home from the hospital. The 3rd night after surgery. It felt great. I did have to scoot myself around but actually had no pain.

NOW! This is something to be proud of! It's an accomplishment!! Celebrate and be thankful for having your friends there that will support you.
