  1. I would like to say I am losing weight faster now than I did at the beginning. When I first started my journey I was a slow loser and was complaining. Yesterday morning I woke up and had lost 3 pds, this morning 1 pd. As you can see my starting weight was 311, today 241. I exercise maybe three times a week at 30 mins. My point is we are all different. Some days I rarely eat and other days I eat five to six times a day. Find what works for you and your body.
  2. Went to Home Depot last night with my boyfriend. He asked me to hold a sixty pound bag of cement for him for a moment. Damn I couldn't without his help. However, his point was that is how much weight you were carrying around. That was an eye opener.

    Never heard of that before. Since I didnt have any health problems I did have to have a BMI higher than 50. I would definitely fight it.

    When Did You Buy New Clothes?

    Goodwill has worked for me. However, I only buy my jeans or Capri's there. Funny thing, before when I went to look for a size 26 jeans I couldn't find them at Goodwill, now I see them there all the time. Also, I shop at Goodwill's outside my town. I immediately started donating my clothes to Goodwill. Good riddance. I don't want to see them again.
  5. We are all different.. I can eat eggs for Breakfast one day and the next day have the same exact thing and throw it up. I never have the same meal twice in one week. I can't tolerate Water or Protein drinks. I get most of my protein and water intake from skim milk 6-9 glasses a day. I don't vomit as much but it happens, sometimes from having that one extra bite, eating to fast or simply the stress of my job. It has been a huge adjustment, however I don't regret it. I will live with the occassionally vomiting versuses the limitations I had with my weight. I feel so alive now.

    Late Periods?

    It is definitely causing great anxiety with me. After my surgery I had it for two weeks, then it started two weeks later. It has been screwed up ever since then. My cramps are severly first.

    Hi, first to say Dr. Kim was my surgeon also... great guy, beautiful hospital. I use George Foremand and Leslie Sansone tapes. I bought them of off ebay, reasonable price. I also canoe, hike, and ride my bike. They have all benefit me in my exercise program. Good Luck
  9. Hi, looking for a plastic surgeon, that is highly recommended, out of USA. I need to start researching my possibilites. Thank you

    Complications With Sleeve

    Low Libido

    Yes, mine definitely increased.
  15. When I was fatter I didnt mind my clothes off and walk around naked. Now with my weight loss and loose skin I want the lights off. Oh well, we still keep them on.
  16. My bf asked me twice not to have the surgery.. He loves big women. Yes, I did go through with the surgery. I became very insecure wondering if he was going to leave. However, he has been very supportive. Often he has comment on how well I am looking and he appreciates the fact I took these steps to improve my life. Before we often went out to dinner and a movie, now we are canoeing and hiking. Our sex life is fabulous, it was good before the surgery, but now I can move around easily and have became more flexible...lol. He even went out and bought me lingerie which I haven't worn in centuries. Odd thing my bf said to me the other day. We went to see a friend and she had gained approx 50 pounds. He commented how disappointed he was that she had gained that weight. He said he could tell how uncomfortable she was with herself. The difference in my attitude is that I am more secure with my self, I love me and I love life. I am not hiding anymore and I am glad he wants to grow with me. I do see where relationships do end because of insecurity and jealous. However, I refuse to have drama in my life. I am not setting myself up for failure in my weight loss journey. But I have to applaud his efforts and I am glad we are able to grow has a couple. Did I mention how great our sex life is also.... lol Good Luck
  17. Absolutely fantastic job...
  18. O my why me... My hair is starting to fall out, really this has to happen too. It is hard getting protein in, water, etc. etc. I need to work harder.

  19. Reevaluating myself... I am happy with my wieght loss, however I see myself slipping back into some old habits. I have to work on overcoming head hunger.

    Hello

    Good Luck... There are going to be a lot of changes you will have to make. I felt I knew everything about the surgery before proceeding. However, it has been a overwhelming journey and an eye opener. Almost 60 pds later I know I made the right decision and feel absolutely great. This forum will help you a great deal.
