It is different, that's for sure. Kind of irritating in a weird way how strangers men and women actually TALK to you and try to engage you in a conversation. Also how men will hold the door for me now...I'm thinking you weren't HOLDING the door for me 57# ago! I'm sure I will get over this irritated phase and actually it's better the past couple of months. There is definatly a mental component but it's not anything major for me atleast. I never really SAW myself as that big or big as I was until I look back NOW at pics from last year and think DAMN I was pretty big.... so I guess that's why I wasn't scared to lose the weight. -
Today is 12-12-12 ! its the last time there will be a date like this in our life time. Make it a great day

Surg was 2-6-12. down about 57, still wanting to lose 15-20 more since I'm so dang short 5'0"! I have been very happy with the surgery. I still eat what I want just WAY smaller portions, and I have barely exercised...so I figure to get this last bit off I will have to exercise consistently. I have been stalled for alittle over 2 months this time, before the longest was about 6-7 weeks. I have went from a tight 12 pants and xl shirt to a 6 pants and med shirt. Feeling great! My personal goal is 130.

I live in the Beaumont area had mine 10 months ago and have lost 57. I have had virtually no problems and am very happy with the surgery. I still need to lose 15-20 more but I'm sure this part will take the longest. -

5'0" started at 205 currently 145 surgery was 2-6-12 highest weight of 215. I now wear a 6 Pants and a medium shirt. . No problems other than i also had hair loss. Started 3 mo out and stopped 6 mo out. My hair was thin to begin with so it's still recouping! I pretty much eat whatever I'm hungry for just much smaller portions than before and I really haven't exercised at all but I plan to after the holidays. It's been a great experience !

How Much Can You Eat At A Time 1 Year Out?
mommy794 replied to mommy794's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did a shake for breakfast for several months but i may start back for my New Years Resolution lol. Good to hear I'm pretty normal. I also can eat 1 taco, or about 1/2 to 3/4 of a small burger. I usually eat half all together then wait while and eat the other half of the meat. Or else my dog get a treat! They get lotsa treats now -
How Much Can You Eat At A Time 1 Year Out?
mommy794 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a low BMI-er, was 205 now 145 5'0". Still need to lose 15-20. I'm almost 10 months out. I can ... As best as I can figure bc I haven't weighed my food... Eat about 6-8 oz. at a time depending in what it is. When I go out to eat like tonight for instance I ate 3-4 bites of spinach dip with a small chip, 4 bites/pieces of salad, I sliver/half of a small lobster tail, and 3-4 bites of my steak ... All a little spaced out of course. I still eat whatever I like of of course much less and I stay full a lot longer between meals. I don't wanna feel line I'm on a never ending diet! I was just curious now much others can or do eat??? Of course if I were more diligent about what I eat and exercised.... Which I barely have I would probably be at goal now, but even though slower I think I will !!!! Just wanna hear from others and how they "live with" the sleeve. -
The Wendy's on Garth road is the faster freaking Wendy's on the planet!!! Literally about 1 min. from order to food in the car. And the order was right. WOW!

Worried About Lack Of Restriction
mommy794 replied to ksgirlmomof4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I could always drink super easy from the get go. And eating rarely was. a problem either. It's been almost 10 months and I've lost 60 just 15-20 more to go! i am short 5'0" and started at 205. I eat pretty much what ever I want and I don't exercise. I'm sure IF I were more diligent I would be at goal now. But I also didn't want to feel like I was on a never ending diet! After the holidays I plan to start exercising more faithfully so I will be 100% at goal by spring -
FYI: If you buy products you end up not liking like shampoo,makeup, lotion, hair products etc. you can donate it to a mission or women's shelter. That way you can de-clutter and not feel bad about throwing away practically new stuff!

Low Sex Drive After Losing Almost 80 Pounds?
mommy794 replied to Preacher's Wife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here !!!! started about 6 mo out from surg as well. Now I'm 9.5 mo out. It sucks! I just had my hormones tested last week no results yet. I'm thinking the same things I should be raring to go buy noooo. I HAVE NEVER had this low of drive. I hope whatever it is fixes itself SOON!!! It's gotta be something to do with the fast weight loss and the estrogen going down? Not sure. But i don't like it one bit! -
