I have lost 90 pounds! I am one year out!

I can't wear denim at school. I would love the size 12!!! tautry@wavspeed.com

Have lost 78 lbs since 3/23/12. I teach so I really need clothes!

Wait till you lose weight & your co- workers & family start trying to "feed" you because you are thinner than them! All the heavy people you know will be so negative. I've lost 70lbs & in sharing that a co -worker said " I cheated ". I went OFF!

I had same thing in DFW. I used Dr Kuhn.

I really can't believe the judgmental tone of many of these posts. We are all on individual journeys with different mindsets & nutritional needs. We are only offering up what has worked for us. The smug, superior replies about "shudder" I would never touch a Protein bar with more than x calories, x grams of protein or x carbs are not helping that person that is in a difficult place. Obviously, none of us are nutrition experts or we wouldn't have needed a sleeve. Many people have psychological & emotional issues regarding their eating. Let's try to be more supportive & accepting of our differences. It's not just this thread, but a prevelant problem within this community.

Here are mine. Still have twenty lbs to go!

If you will look under my name, you will find a post that says, "three week stall ugh"! I am at four months post op & have lost 69lbs! I have had two stalls. Just keep doing what your Dr told you!

I talked to seven doctors in the DFW area before I found one who would try laparoscopically. I was successfully sleeved on 3/23/13 and have lost 62lbs. You should have seen the pictures of my adhesions. I had four incisions & one is larger due to my prior surgeries, but I didn't have to have it done in an open procedure! My prior surgeries were: perforated common bile duct, pancreatitis, multiple debredments, c-section, three hernia repairs with mesh. While I was in the ICU for the perf bile duct I had multi system organ failure, was trached for five months, eschemic strokes & had to spend five months in med-surgical ICU, a month in step down, three months in in-patient re-hab & six months out. Needless to say, no one wanted to touch me with a ten foot pole. However, I found Dr. Joseph Kuhn at Medical City Dallas. He has been performing WLS for over thirty years. Find the right doctor and ask what are your options. . You need a surgeon that is older & very experienced. You may have to do an open procedure, but it is worth it! Best of luck & prayers,

Sorry, been on vacation. Gelatin & collagen are both proteins. The biotin you put under your tongue I got at my health food store.

You are going to lose hair regardless. Biotin, taken sub q and get your protein is key to minimizing it. Good Luck!

I got the recipe from the web. 3 cups Greek yogurt, 1 large pkg sugar-free vanilla pudding, 1 tsp vanilla extract. You can add extra Splenda to taste. I tripled this for my 2 qt Krups.

Shoe lover, I have some 16s, especially capris. Give me your address.
