That is an awesome idea!! Buy smaller! Why didnt i think of that???!?

Thank you!!!! I gotta keep it moving!

aBOUT 5 days a week, i have an exercise routine. 40 leg lifts (lay on the ground and lift your legs and butt off the floor), 35 push ups, 5 minute plank, 1 minute wallsits, 15 minutes of Dancing to Britney Spears (my fav)!!!! Thats my nightly work out. My arms look awesome btw

So i am 7mths out and 105lbs down and i am really loving the way that i look BUT I feel hidden underneath all of these big clothes!! I went from a size 24 to a size 16w. My tops are a large. I am trying my best not to purchase clothes because in no time at all, they are too big for me too!! No kidding! I am trying to wait as long as i can before i buy clothes but i feel like i am drowning in clothes. I have a bunch of smaller sized pants (14-16) tucked away that i cant quite get into yet but no tops. So pretty much ive been buying clearance tops here and there because i know i wont fit in them long. Its such a blessing but geez louise! Its sooooooooooooooo worth it i swear but wearing clothes that are too big really has a way of making me feel unattractive. i know its all in my head

Beyond Amazing!!!! Go Go GO GIrl!!!

same here. I am almost 5 months post op and i have been on a stall for about 3 weeks. and i am making sure that i get in more protein and exercising more frequently. Minimizing my carb intake and getting in more water as well. I lose a few then they come back. like im fighting with he same 5 lbs. soo frustrating. it will pass though. i am sure of it

Although i do agree that Fast Food so early post op is not the best idea, However i have to say that its freaking awesome to go to a fast food joint and get full off of one taco ! I am not crazy about fast food but once in a blue moon, its a delightful treat. If i focused on portion control my whole life then i wouldnt have needed the surgery in the first place ! Before, i would have ordered the whole left side of the menu and would have eaten it until i was blue in the face ! and thats no longer the case. I have come a long ways and my main focus is to not make bad habits a regular basis occurence. stay focused!

Girl Please!!! I am 3 and a half months out and i have only lost 58 lbs since surgery. Your doctor is a turd. Its the sleeve, not the bypass!

Control the scale but dont let the scale control you.

for breakfast, i have a half piece of whole grain toast with earth balance natural buttery spread and trader joes strawberry preserve & a piece of grapefruit. I got tired of eggs as well but i like to switch it up. Sometimes i will have bacon and an egg or quinoa and an egg with cheese scrambled. depends.

work out , drink your protein, take your vitamins, drink nothing but water and crystal light, and stick to soups and salads or veggie based meals. Read your labels!!

I have hit my first stall since my december 22nd surgery and i gotta tell you that i am kind of happy because i want to be able to enjoy my journey more. I feel like when it flies off that im not able to just enjoy my journey and learn more about my sleeve. A stall is not negative or bad, its your body changing and we know we will continue to lose so what can be better than that? im in no rush. As a matter of fact, i put my scale away today because i dont want to continue to be a slave to it. i will continue to excercise and focus on being as healthy as possible without judging myself for not being a size 6 yet. Even as i am losing fast, it just makes me want to lose it faster. im not judging myself anymore.

Awwwwww y'all are too kind! Thank you so much. i wana get down to 130 lbs so i have some ways to go but i reall look forward to my journey. Thank you guys for all your support! means a lot.
