Was going to buy something online from Torrid, and those charts are NEVER accurate. For example when I was 192-200 (did cardio and strength training) my measurements were 46-37-46 and I wore a 14 in jeans, and would buy 1x/2x tops from Torrid because of my big boobies (38ddd.) According to the Torrid charts a 14 is 34 inch waist, lol!. I am an apple/rectangular shaped person and I wear my jeans at my waist, not low rise or anything. Now, I'm 5'6, 283, and I wear a 22 jeans, and 22/24 tops from Lane/Ashley. My measurements are 56-50-56. I know brands vary between misses, women, and juniors. I usually buy from Torrid, and I wonder if Torrid is considered a juniors plus store? I digress. I have also noticed it elsewhere, where a person's actual waist size in inches doesn't match the size, i.e. a size 6 with 31 inch waist. Long story short, what are your true measurements and what size do you wear? Include your height. Thanks/

I have HS which is similar to folluculitis, but I digress. Hey yall! Anyone getting their surgery in July?

Just curious.

How did you lose the weight? How long did it take? I just started a reduced carb diet. Im 5"6. Trying to lose 20 by July

Is there a percentage or average out there of when post vsgers stop having heartburn? Is it after eating or all day? I know it varies per person but Id like to know when it ends on average and what brings it on. I know certain food trigger it, but Id like as much info about this. Im pre op and heartburn has never really been an issue for me. Once in a blue moon, usually too much water or grapefruit. Its not that bad that medicine is required.

I noticed there wasnt an option for people who log in using their facebook. Do I have to create a new account when using the app?

Im going to the grocery in fifteen minutes any brands of mixes you can recommend? Can someone make a protein liquid sticky of all the brands, tastes pre and post surgery as well as prices and where to buy?

Thanks Abaco.

Thanks Abaco.

I saw a percentage of 70 something but Id prefer hearing the numbers doctors usually tell you. Im bigger (284) so I might lose more at the beginning.

Even ten pounds a month sounds great.

Thanks everyone! Im going to fax it early or show her on the first if March.

Wow 105 down? Ive been noticing eighty lbs down by six months often. Is there a chart with figures here?

I guess what I really need to see is a copy of what peoples clearance letter looked like. I wont be able to see the secretary of the surgeon until the first. I dunno. Its more about having the right things than a lengthy eval. Even the secretary was expecting me to need a second appt because thats what she told me in the beginning. First was suppose to be a thirty minute fill out paperwork, then second visit was suppose to be about an hour of talking. Hmmm..

Okay so weeks ago I booked a psychiatrist that my insurance covered. I did mention to the receptionist what it was for. Went there today. He asked basic mental health questions, I.e. voices, depression, familt history of etc. So he documented what he asked in his comp then told me I was sane enough for surgery. He printed that I was cleared and that was that. I thought I would have to come back but then he told me he was the psych that gave meds only. He wasn't the one with the couch and you go into details about your life, etc. He did give me a number to the place he recommends if I need that type. So now I'm like uhhh is this good enough. Im going to bring the letter to my surgeons secretary to look at.

Id like to know how much did you lose at six months? I am noticing a trend. You can add other stats if you like. Is the average ten pounds a month? If not what is?

There's another forum that has some NYU patient. I don't know if it's the same doctor though.

Maybe I should post a photo looking for my body twin. That would be a great post. I'm going to clean though so if anyone wants to start one they can.

Lol, at big boned.

Foxbins I tried to see your pics but your avatar is of your living room I believe. Is anyone having issues with Lilyslim? I am trying to either quote or check out someones profile and it opens up a lilyslim page. ARGH!

What I really want to see is someone who started out with the same build as me. I'm trying to avoid going through the photo albums to look at befores and after. I would have posted in there but there is no feature such as that. Oh well. Thanks anywho.

I checked the last site and although I put a height and weight I wanted to see it seems so different. It seems like although you can chose different shape it doesn't help with the frame. Some women look super small, and some women look bigger. I'm going to look into the photographic chart.

Hey. I'm 5'6 284, and medium to large frame going by the measuring of the wrist chart. Anywho my goal is 125 or a size 2 or 4, but I would be okay with 150. I have more boobs than legs. I would describe my shape as straight or a perhaps apple. Anyone here same height? I guess I'm trying to see if 125 lbs would be too small for my frame. Thanks.

Did you start at 164? How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?
