Good for you. We seniors must forge on. It is not easy. I have stopped losing for months now. I also know why, I eat the wrong foods. I also know how to maintain because I am maintaining. I fluctuate 3 lbs. it is very disappointing because I am good all day and then bam at night I cheat. I only have 23 lbs to go and it feels like 100. I have lost 85 and wanted to be at goal at my surgiversary but that can not happen since that is only 2 months away. Best of luck to you and keep in touch.

Very pretty. You have done excellent.

Sizing is sooooo stupid. I have lost 83 lbs and wore a 24-26 now I wear 14-16. Must try on everything because sizes at one store are so different from one to another. I so want a pair of regular jeans. I have never worn jeans with a zipper because of my weight. Asked all my DIL's yesterday where to go and what to look for. They said to be prepared to try on many pairs and the sizes can vary 3 sizes. It is not you. They have made clothing bigger and marked with smaller sizes. When I weighed 140 many moons ago I wore a 14 in pants. Now I weigh 190 and have bought some 14's that fit. What gives? Just go shopping and try on what you think will fit and go from there.

This is the time of the first of many stalls. Just keep following your plan and hide the scale.

Aren't you on a PPI? I had to sign a paper before surgery that I would probably have acid reflux after surgery and I do. I am 9 months out and occasionally stop the pill to see if it is gone and within 2 days I have to take it again.

The veggies you chose are ones very hard to digest. Are they on your food plan this early out? Keep things very soft and easy to digest. Your stomach is not healed at the earliest 6 weeks.

Where is this held in Las Vegas and dates? I am going to be in Las Vegas soon.

Your experience is so different than all the other posts I have read. Thank you for posting this to give others that are contemplating surgery in Mexico a heads up. Glad you are doing well now.

Where do you all see a picture?

You are doing great, keep up the good work.

Glad everything is going so well for you. You are almost there. Congrats on all the weight loss before surgery.

Thank you, now I can read your post and you look great.

Why in the world did they cut you open? With your mobility issues you would have thought they would be very careful. How thoughtless!

I have a hard time too. I went to find some underwear since I have not bought any since weight loss and have to roll them over a bunch. I wore a 5X. Went to dillards and the girl said you wear an X-large. I held it up and said are you sure, this is so small. I took home and sure enough fit like a glove. I still hold up clothes I get out of the closet and think I'm not going to get into that and slide right in. When does this go away?
