I've definitly noticed my shoes get loser. I had put on some weight the year before surgery and my shoes had gotten too tight one me that i couldn't even wear them. I remember crying and feeling so badly and that was one of the things that pushed me to surgery. Any way those shoes fit loosely not even with thick socks!! And I'm hoping I lose even more. I've always ha extra big and wide feet (12 or 13 extra wide) so it would be great to be able to fit into a regular 11 one day! I think I would pass out haha

Made these the other night and they were yummy! They aren't very sweet though so if you want a little more sweetness add some Splenda or even some honey or agave. The calorie info for these is without any of that though. Going to add some dries cranberries in next time!
1 banana (mashed up so it's smooth)
1/2 cup whole oats
1/2 scoop of vanilla Protein powder (could use more but didn't want an over powering whey taste)
1 egg white
Mix the banana, Protein and egg white together. Add the oatmeal and combine. Drop Cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15 or so minutes until light brown. They don't have a cookie texture per say but are a great snack if you have a sweet tooth or even as a Breakfast treat!
Here's the nutrition info for one cookie. This made me 4 Cookies.< /p>

Hubby doesn't really bother me, but the abbreviation DH just irks me sometimes. (Darling husband or Dear husband) I just find it silly when someone could easily just say husband. It just sounds kind of sarcastic to me lol. I don't know. Not much bothers me but that one kinda does.

Happy 3 months all! I'm down 77lbs (lost 20 pre op) Im at 302 now SO badly wanted to see 299 by my 3 months surgiversary but I finally broke a stall so I'm okay with that. 2 pounds till I say bye bye to the 300's forever! Yay!!
Hope everyone is doing great!

At two months you should be fine. My dr said 6 weeks. Some say 6 months. It really depends on the surgeon/nut. I've had plenty of salads since then and I'm fine!

It's starting to happen more and more for me. I'm single, but it's still kind of weird and some times it throws me off and I don't know how to act. I did get hit on before even at my biggest, but it's getting more frequent now and from men that I would actually have interest in and honestly my mind is still kind of learning how to deal with it. I've never been really good at flirting or telling if someone is interested in me or just being nice lol so it's a learning experience. But I will say there are days where it's much appreciated and a nice boost to the ego. Even if your not single receiving attention or a compliment always adds a boost of self confidence for the day which can never hurt

I think it's less about judgment and more about being shocked someone would take those risks at that point. I haven't been the perfect patient either but I definite didn't do that DAYS after surgery. Though i was still in a lot of pain For the first week so food wasn't even really on my mind. That's a really risky chance to take less then a week after surgery that could potentially kill them. Say a prayer for them and walk away I guess. Not much else you can do. Your doing what you need to do and that's great!

Greetings I am in Queens. How long did HealthfirstMedicaid take to approve? I'm in month 5 out of 6 and almost done with the testing...I'm kind of anxious but a little bit more at ease since I found this app.

Who the heck gives surgery approval with out getting anesthesia approval? It's not like you can opt out on the anesthesia, they kind of go together lol! I really hope you get that sorted out soon!

I think you should take them back. If you think about it if they don't fit now and it's February, by the time they fit it will be too warm for them. Then who knows what your calves will measure next Fall/Winter. I know it's discouraging. My calves are super insanely large and I tried on boots a while ago after losing 75lbs and they are still too big for most boots. It sucks, but don't let it discourage you from how far you've come. Eventually you WILL be able to wear boots like those.

I wasn't quite 400lbs but close. I was over 380 at my biggest but I think I was closer to 400 then I thought. I was too big for my scale. I have got down to 359 for surgery. I'm 2 and a half months out and down to 305. All together 74lbs lost so far.
As a heavy weight is is a longer journey but it is completely doable. I wasn't sure I would be successful with the sleeve at first at my weight but I'm convinced I can now. There is a BMI over 50 board on OH and some of the people there started over 400 and have lost a LOT. It's very inspiring.

I will gladly share my pics! 185 pounds down! I'm still about 25 pounds from goal but I get closer every day!
