Well more exercise I'm sure would help. But still want tips from those who've done it already. I'm happy Roth my results so far 55 down 20 left. But really I'd be fine where I am now. I weigh less than I have in 17 years. Except one brief time in 01. Tips and tricks plz!!

So what' works? Do u go have it done professonaky?

I did same. Was stalled for 7 weeks when i started ... and now finally been losing pretty well for the past 6 wks. So ya I'd like it to all come off fast and easy but in reality it's not going to ALWAYS show on the scale. Now onward to lose this last 20 for sure.! Slow n steady (or NOT!) wins the race LOL.

Ah that's good to hear that there is hope!

Wraps. Not warps. Haha

Has anyone had warps, thermage, laser treatments or any other procedures and how was your results?

I only like vanilla yogurt do idk about other flavors . But it's good. Container is 4oz. 3 carbs and 5 g protein w only 45 calories. Light and fit diabetic advantage yogurt.

I'm almost 7 mo out and have lost 53. About 20 to go. I get this feeling sometimes I think it depends on what and how much I have eaten. When I'm actually eating I'm ok feels fine not overfull or painful but an hour or two or three later it's like I can feel the food going thru my intestines like a lump. It's not terrible or painful just uncomfortable and a weird feeling. It usually passes in a few hours. I notice it most with drier meats like jerky. Or today I had chicken and dumplings. Of course I ate mostly meat and a few dumplings. But it was very moist meat. Just wondering if anyone else gets this weird feeling.

I had a stall at almost 4 months out and it lasted 7 weeks, just be patient as you can and it will pass!

I do xrays for a living and I have seen my own xray post sleeve. The staples are SOOOOO very tiny that even with my trained eyes who have looked at xrays for over 20 years now could barely find them on myself when I knew where to look. I also know that from a plain xray the Dr. would not be able to tell the size or shape of her stomach unless he had her drink some sort of contrast. Who knows... maybe her new Dr. is F-O-S, there are plenty of Dr's out there who are, or just plain mis-informed.

My hair was thin before but not too too bad, see more scalp than I'd like for sure. I was really worried when mine started really shedding pretty bad about 3 months out. Now I just made 6 months and it basically stopped falling out over night! Needless to say I'm greatful! I have been taking biotin and prenatal vitamins since 3 months BEFORE I had surgery also who knows if it helped or not...I could be way thinner by now I guess.

Once I had that dang drain out I felt a million times better immediately!!!!

BMI was 40 now 29.9. I'm short only 5'0". So every pound counts! Down 52 so far in 6 months and that's with a 7 week long stall!!! At 4 months out.

Sizes vary so much. I'm 5'0" and currently 153 and can wear a 6 from American Eagle another pair of pants that I used to have same exact pants pre surg in a 12 I found them in a 4 at a resale place but they still had tags and they fit great! I have a pair of shorts that a jr's 9 from jcp and I can get them on but to button them would be uncomfortable until I lose about 8 more pounds I'm sure. So that said I'd like to get to 130 ish and whatever size that may be!! O ya I'm 42. Forgot that part!

O and I haven't keep up with how much a month dxcept for 1st mobth was about 17 plus I had a stall for about 7 WEEKS didn't lose or gain a pound the whole time scale just wouldn't budge! That was end of may and all of June. Just started losing Again in July which was 6 or 7 pounds in July.

Thanks y'all it is exciting to be somewhere I haven't been in 11 years and that was only for a couple of moths I was at this weight before I gained it all back plus some. WONT have that problem anymore! I just got to get more diligent with working out. I def need to firm up!

Still feeling great and down 50 was 205 now 155. Looking pretty good for 5'0 and can wear a 6 now from American Eagle. I want to lose 20 more for sure. Maybe 25 depends how I look and feel when I get there. Honestly this has been the best thing for me. I still do eat what I want in very small portions of course. I mostly stick to portein first but if I want cake or chocolate I HAVE IT! Just alittle and I don't eat that every day of course! But I don't deprive myself. Sure if I ate ONLY what I am supped to 100% of the time and exercised way more than 2-3 times per week that im squeezing in the past 3 months I'd probably be at goal now but I'm happy the way it's going and of it takes a couple more months to get there so be it! I'm enjoying the ride! This pic was today. Didn't buy the jeans yet waiting til I can fit into a 4! Lol.

Aug. 6 will be 6 months out for me, down 50# which is GREAT for a low BMI'er like me. 20 more to goal...then I will go from there and see if I want or NEED to lose 10 more.

Finally can say I've lost 50 pounds! 2 more days will be my 6 mo surgiversary

Beaumont! Is that close enuf??? Lol

Down to 156 today 1 more pound til I can say I've lost 50 pounds!

I kinda feel the same, now it seems harder to get to the O. Still getting there usually ...just not as easy I also had read all the post about how they turned into sex maniacs and thought BOY we're in trouble bc I was before LOL. But I do think I'm going to do the saliva hormone testing, been thinking about that for awhile just need to make time to do it at my local pharmacy who performs the test. I fugure my body's went thru some major changes pretty fast so maybe it will all level out SOOONNN!!!

After I take a shower and get out to dry off, I can't feel my fat/skin back jiggling as much when I rub back and forth with the towel!!! LOL pretty funny observation but I'm GLAD of IT!

I posted my vanilla fantasy / goal weight before but after more thought on it ... I'd like to take dance lessons from a real stripper and give my hubby a lap dance !!!

Fantasy weight would be 120 which is what I weighed before kids. I'm 5'0". Although I'm sad to say my boobs and skin will never look as good as back then! I started at 205 ... highest weight was 215. Now weigh 157. My realistic goal is 135,but you never know!
