I use My Fitness Pal to keep up with the foods I eat and my calorie intake....I just found a protein that I really love and it is the Target Brand (Market Pantry) Whey Protein 25 grams Vanilla....I love it so much...I mix it with Almond milk vanilla and use my blender with a little ice....awesomeness.....

Hi all...I am a April sleever April 18 is my date...that will be cool to keep up with everyone...love the idea

I think I also shrunk and inch because i was 5'7 now it says 5'6....sucks...lol

What are some weight loss rewards you rewarded yourself when you reached a certain goal?

I am still preop but I love this...... Height 5'7 Starting Weight 255.12 wearing a size 18-20 pants and 2X shirts I have lost 24.1 pounds thus far Current weight 231....my goal is to get down to 220 before I have surgery in April Don't know what size clothes I am wearing now...but my clothes are to big!!!!!

What are some short term and long term goals you set before surgery and after you had surgery?

I have my last meeting on Feb 28 to talk with my surgeon and get my date....I have at least 15 questions that I have written down to ask but wanted to see if any of you have any questions that you can think of that I should ask....Also those that are post-op what are somethings you wished you would have asked before you had surgery.....thanks in advance..

thank you so much.....you are an inspiration ....thank you for the encouragement

What are some things that you have done post op when you had a weight stall?......Also to my ladies that are top heavy how has the weight loss done to that area...what kind of exercises do you do to help in the area. and when you started losing weight did they feel extra heavy......what did you use to workout in to help them to be bound down......lol ....I really need help in this area because I am wearing my bras and are starting to ruining them and i dont want to buy any because i know that i am losing inches in this area and my surgery will be in April.... Also, anyone with big thighs...what have you done to slim them down and firm them up, how did they change after surgery

yes ....i am working out and i have lost 21 pounds so far....I was just curious to how people have done post surgery if they worked out preop.....i was told to just lose 10 pounds and start changing the way i eat.....working out was not required (at least not specified) but of course you know you have too....

did any of you start working out prior to having surgery......if so how did it help you after you had surgery, was it easier to drop weight, was it dropping faster, was the loose skin worse or better than what it would have been with you working out prior.....

I had mines done a week ago and got the results back and i have a mild cause of gastritis. I was nervous at first but all was fine. had no clue what had happen at all. It is best to get done so that you will know what is going on inside of you.....i do agree to think of it as a safety procedure so it want be any surprise during surgery....Good luck

You want feel a thing....I had mine and I didnt even know what had happened. I prayed before going in and all was well.....Good Luck to you and it will be just fine
