This is so frustrating to be right there and to have this problem that is going to post pone your dream come true. you have to wait. The time will go by fast and you will be sitting next to us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH really soon!

This is an even better reason to have chosen the surgery! LOL The scale just gives you #'s. The weight loss is the same and so it's all good. My scale is somewhat crazy. I weight in the AM and it said I way152.6, then less than 1 minute later, I step on it and it saids I weigh 156.4, so then I really have to check it one more time and it saids 154.6 lbs. So which is it? I always choose the lessor one of course. But my scale is a weight watcher's scale and cost me a pretty penny about a year ago. I think I like my old one better. Hehehehehe My scale lies to me and really deserves a time out for bad behavior!

This is so much fun to hear about! You are doing great and pretty soon those 20's will be way toooooooooo big! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

So sad about your loss.......HUGS!!!!! That cornbread must have been what you needed........ Good stopping when traveling. My surgeon and PCP tells us every hour.....

Time to get all that sh** out of the house. Hubby doesn't need it really. I cleaned everything out and told family members that there was to be no junk food in the house. I threw a lot of good food out. I still do, if they bring home junk, I throw it away when they aren't looking. It works for me. Otherwise, I'd eat it! Maybe talk with your mother in law about those cupcakes and ask her for her support. Your hubby can go eat that stuff at her house. LOL

This is amazing! I don't even recognize you from the first pic! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I love these NSV's!

Yep, it does get better. You are doing very well. CONGRATS on your success. The first year will pass quite quickly and you will learn so much about the triggers for your eating and learn new coping skills to eliminate the triggers.

I'd be interested in this topic also...I'm 13 months post-op...and 12 lbs under goal. I'm not trying to lose anymore weight but it's still coming off....I eat a tiny bit and I'm full.. So...
Can our sleeves shrink??

This is so true. You have made so many changes already and have done great. I love that your challenging yourself to socialize more with others. Sometimes I can feel rather reserved but other times I am totally amazed at myself when I just get out of my head and start talking to others without worrying about saying something stupid. If I say something stupid, I just laugh and make a joke of it. I love to use humor. Just be true to who you are and you will be just fine.

This is such a great place to be! CONGRATS! You have changed your habits and that is monumental. Keep it up!

Hi Leaha
I'm 6 1/2 weeks out. I think everyone's different, but at 2 weeks out I was still taking it easy. I don't think you should walk more than a mile a day for sure. There's plenty of time for that later, right now you just want to take care of yourself and heal. It hurt me to bend over until probably 4 weeks out, but now I can do anything and I feel fine. I still get tired easily because I'm not getting all the nutrition in I'm supposed to. But I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and walk and bike for 60+ mins. One thing to make sure you do is try not to lift over 10lbs until your Dr clears you. I know its hard, I have a 3 yr old, but I messed myself up pretty bad from lifting him, and my Dr said I was risking having issues with my incisions if I kept doing it. Luckily I was able to go to my parents out of state and they did all the heavy lifting for me with my son. Not everyones that lucky, but just try your best

I know a few people with gastric bypass that didn't follow there diet, grazing all day long, eating a ton of sugar, and non-compliant with doc's orders. One gained 100 lbs back and the other about 40 lbs. I did give one a copy of the Basic Bootcamp diet from LilMiss Diva. I will have to call her to check up on how she's doing today. Great job on your WLS! I know you will Rock it! please let us know how your hubby's surgery go. Maybe he can also join our little club here.

Looking good!

I bought some desert size plates on ebay that are so beautiful and just the right size. When I use them, I get the right amount. In fact, my husband is also using them too. I never want to use the dinner plates anymore.

I didn't think that this story for funny, it touched me and it mad me sad to see that you had experienced a hardship and a trauma. I know things will get better for you and definately after losing your excess weight, you will feel better. I hope you can get some counseling to help you though the hard part. Please keep us posted.

I thought she got the Allergen lapband. Good for her. I applaud her for having the courage to do something so public in front of the world. I am for what ever WLS works.

This is so amazing! You Rock!!!! I an so proud of you.....
