I started off at 186 and am 142 now (3 months out)and do not regret it for one minute. Why wait until you have htn, diabetes etc... to have surgery. Do it before all of that starts! I tried everything to lose and the only thing that has worked is WLS. you won't be sorry....

sip sip sip those protein shakes...

3 months out, haven't blogged in a while been very busy working. I've been riding the motorcycle some, doing good with that. Rode into a small town sat. by myself for a sheriff's inspection so I can license it. Didn't have any trouble but was pretty scared. I just have 12 lbs to go to goal so feeling awesome about that. The hairloss has slowed down some (thank God). Feel tired alot lately...Not much else to write, thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

hope all goes well for you. I'm sure it will! Keep us posted...

5 lbs a week is good...

yea, what she said...

forgive yourself and go on, the cravings will decrease eventually...

I'm 3 months out and it's pretty bad... Had plenty to spare at first, not so much now...

It'll work...

My husband and I have ALOT more hootchie koo, lovin', wild thing, whatever you wanna call it. Sex, i'm talking about alot more sex! LOL!

Pre-op weight: 186lbs current wt.: 143lbs christmas goal: 138lbs

I read that the caffeine restricts blood flow to the stomache, thus can delay healing... I drank coffee from the get go and didn't have any issues; ( hadn't read this at that time), and then there's also the dehydration issue.

Good for you! That's awesome!

I started this journey at 186 lbs (near the heaviest I had ever been), and have a small frame, so my ultimate goal is 125-130. I'm at 145 now and if I didn't lost anymore I would be happy, but i'll be happier if I lost the 15-20lbs more... I think wherever you FEEL the best is what a person's goal should be. And above all HEALTHY...Hope to get into size 5 jeans...wear 9 now...

I reached my goal set for Thanksgiving! 145lbs!

Miralax does great for me, one capful daily in 4oz water...

Have 1lb to go to meet my Thanksgiving day challenge! My stall broke the past 2 weeks...

I'm also taking in protein shakes (forgot to list), so probably getting atleast 60/70g. protein/day, and lots of water... Take a protein shake for brkfst. and another at bedtime to keep me from getting up and eating in the night. I sometimes have a shake for lunch/supper if on the run, and at work...

My goal is 125-130... 130 will be good, 125 will be better! Thanks alot...
