You are doing amazing and you look fantastic! Keep up the good work and the 100s feel better than any food ever tasted!

You look amazing!!!

Dammit warrior! Get your head out of your :ciappa: and get your stuff together! You only have 25lbs to go! Just quit it with the sugar already, dude you were on such a roll! Nahhhh seriously You can do it, we all have slip ups and we just pick up and get going again. I think a sugar detox would be good for you and then just getting back on plan :hug:

Um people are crazy that's all I can say. Any of you who have had babies can remember this same crap from when you were pregnant. People telling labor horror stories, don't eat this, don't touch this, don't sleep on your back. The insane things people think to say to each other. I would have said, "Thanks for sharing!" and moved on. :bolt:

You look awesome coops! Congrats! :tea:

Wow woman, you look amazing. All that running really can change the shape of your body. I'm 15lbs less than you and I probably look like I weigh 30lbs more. You can see how the muscle you have really changes your body structure. I need to get exercising, i want to! Where is my motivation!? Other than running what else do you do to work out? You look fab congrats on all your success you def worked for it and deserve it all! :youcandothis:

Would be okay for the mushy stage or you could strain it (so the flavors are in the broth) for the clear stage. I wouldn't worry too much about nutritional info. All those things you are putting in there are good for you and at that point in post op you will be good to eat much at all.

I eat about 3-4 pieces of sushi and damn, now I've got a craving for some.

Omg skin bouncing back? That would be AMAZING! My tummy there is no hope for but perhaps my arms and thighs? Oh that would be fabulous because I don't really like the results/scars of either of those surgeries!

Slow loser WHAT!? Girl, I don't know who gave you that misinformation but you are not at all a slow looser. You look fab btw!

You can see my weight loss in my signature. I averaged my weight loss starting month 4 and it has been 3-4% of my body weight each month.

I get hit on constantly and that's the biggest compliment I could ever receive just because they are looking at girls who have been thin their whole lives as well. It's not just my friends comparing the old me to the new me, it's a fresh pair of eyes.

I had my surgery on October 8th 2010. 5lbs lost preop and 117 pounds gone total.

It's so worth it to use a coordinator at least in my experience. I used Nina with Dr Aceves and she answered all my phone calls, got in contact with Dr A whenever I had a question and got RIGHT back to me. With the slew of questions I had post op her work was invaluable.

Diva you look amazing! I'm following your plastic's journey so close. My thighs and knees need some help too but I think they need both lipo and a lift. When I lost the weight I thought "at most I'll get a TT" well now i'm thinking, if I had the money I'd get a full body lift done. I'm scared about healing though, I read a lot of stuff in the Plastic's forum and some people have very major complications. I'm glad you are finally feeling good and may you feel GREAT tomorrow!

Okay so I was at a pack a day. I started back in June and for the last 3 days I have been smoking 3 cigs or less a day. I thought about going ot the ecig BUT i read that the amount of Nicotine can very so much depending on several factors and some where dangerously high. Also that the vapor has never been tested as far as inhaling it several times a day. I'm sure ecigs are better but just not sure how much better.

I started out looking at lapband but then I visited the revision or failed weight loss surgery board. The more I read the more I knew that my previous first choice, lap band was now my last choice. With the complications I would have about any of the surgeries before lapband.

Stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup/Fructose in general but I would go all out on glucose (pastas good breads fruits) and see what happens. I think the fiber that you would be getting from those foods might give your body a little boost and kinda of a "Hey we are getting fed, maybe we can burn some of this leftover fat". I'm interested to see what happens!

Can I hold her? PLEASE! I have baby fever! She is beautiful Tiff, absolutely one of the prettiest babies I've seen aside from my own Good for you nursing and if you ever need any help I'm on my way to get my lactation consultant certification so I'd be happy to help. Also nursed two kids for 7 years, one of them post op. Take care of you, lost of rest and relaxation. Oh and can I hold her please

You are setting up a cycle of self hate. Hate because you are fat, hate because you have binged. You have NOT stretched your sleeve you will throw up before you do this. Listen a 3lb gain doesn't mean you actually gained that weight. Every month I gain between 3-5 and then lose it again. BUT I will not lose as much of it if I make poor food choices. How do I keep from making poor food choices? Don't buy it if I can't control myself with it. I say, "But my kids or my husband haven't had surgery, they deserve X" the fact is they will become obese like me if I continue to do this. CUT OUT HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! This "sugar" doesn't signal to your brain that you have eaten anything at all so you continue to eat more and more of it. If you want a sweet or chips or a beer have some but not everyday and only have them when you go out. STOP the self hate. Look how far you have come! You are eating 1 whole hamburger OMG (drama) how much would you have eaten preop?

Kid's meal, side item, soup, appetizer, split hubby's food (though he usually eats it all), or (my fav) as for a to go buffet. They will usually give you a box to go and you can fill it up then eat what you want and take the rest home.

Read up on Dr Almanza before you make your choice. There have been some bad stories about him and his practice. I've heard great things about Dr Kelly though.

I can't see any pics

Dude! Wait until you lose your weight! My boobs went from 44 E to now a 36 C and it's only a C because of the skin.

Can't wait to hear about your experience! Good luck girlie!
