How sweet.... he is awesome!!!

Welcome to the boards. This is a great place for motivation and help!!!

Woohoo!!!!!

No one here can tell you whether or not to have the surgery... Only you can decide. Do research. Trust in your doctor.. Make sure he or she tells you the good and the bad. Personally best thing I have ever done... I have had no complications but it is hard work and it requires a lot of discipline and patience. If you have any doubts then your not ready. This is a life changing life altering endeavor not to be taken lightly!!

It's bizarre to feel all these bones.... I like my collar bones and my hip bones. I love that now I'm front and center in ever picture and my smile...

Dude... I was behind you.. The smiley face boxers were a nice touch.... Just kidding ladies... This was too funny to not post a response to... Frugal boy... Buy one pair of pants for traveling!!!! Ha!!

1/2 a hawaiin porkchop, a little dab of caesar salad and half a deviled egg.

I mourned my relationship with food almost as much as I mourned the death of my father. It truly is a sickness and thank god we have been given the tool to handle this addiction.

walmart... centrum chewable.

I must admit when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was one of those powder room posts ladies gone wild... lol... Not from SE texas sorry. But good luck and thanks for my giggle at myself...

Try one of these kmilller... They are great!!!

You better smile girlie... You look great!!!!!

It's so weird to see bones poking out... Where fat used to be... Lol my feet look boney!!! Ha Just another mind blowing moment... Must be Friday!!!

Awesome post!!!

Almost to onederland girlie!!! Keep after it!!!!

Personally I choose to log. As you get further down the road you will be able to eat more. Why not start the habit now of logging. I mainly log to make sure of my protein. It's to easy for this old gal to forget what she has eaten for the day.

I know what you mean. Everytime I say something to a complete stranger... I think to myself ... what the hell. The lady at SAMS was handing out samples and instead of saying no thank you ... I said... I have had gastric bypass and I really cant... wth... like she cares!!!

Let them step up to the plate. It's good for them and it will be good for you to let go a little bit. They will be stronger then you think and you will get to see the compasionate side of them. You wont be out that long where it will be of any detriment to them. Good luck girl. Let them prove to you that you have taught them well.

sw: 340 CW : 155 Total lost 185 lbs. Date of surgery 02/21/12. Upped calories this week trying to level things out and ended up losing 3 lbs. Still trying to figure out this whole maintaining weight thing.

My daughter says I word vomit gastric bypass. I am trying to be more aware of that and not let it consume me... Tough!!!

So sad that your surgery turned out this way for you. I pray that a medical physician some where can heal you and make you whole. Sending prayers your way seems almost hollow to what you are going thru. But I don't want you to give up. Please keep searching whether its the net or trying different doctors until you can find a better quality of life... Those babies need you!!!

A lettuce wrap

It's a struggle to be sure those first few holidays. So much of our lives revolve around food... Try and keep things as normal as possible. Stay busy stay focused and concentrate on the new you!!! You got this!!

ask for the pain meds. I wanted to take morphine home... lol. It does get better... but verbalize what hurts and that you need something. There is no shame in that.
