thanks everyone!... im actually a little sad with this weeks numbers, but ill get back on track!

ok so after last week i was really excited, but this week just hasn't been good for me.. so here are my stats 5'7" hw: 265 gw:250 dos: 238.1 cw: 203.6 so here goes, today is week 8 for me and i only lost 3 lbs from last week.. and i know thats not really terrible except for the fact that before i left for vegas on 2-2-12 i was down to 202.1 which means i gained weight! OK OK i know.. it is definitely my own damn fault cuz i partied like a rock star in vegas.. not really eatting things that i shouldn't, but because of the alcohol.. total empty calories.. it is officially the price that i pay! I guess tho it has been buggin me because even before i left i realized that i hit a miniature stall.. and normally i don't worry if the number on the scale doesn't change a bit, because i work out so much that im sure that i gain muscle which is much more dense than fat meaning at some point yes im going to stall on the weight loss i guess i just didnt figure it would come soooo soon. Now i really need to get back on the band wagon with my workouts and cardio, so that i can break this stall that i seem to be in. On a good note tho!!!! I HAD AN AMAZING TIME IN VEGAS bought clothes, went to go see a show (beatles love w. cirque du soleil) it was freaking amazing!!!!!!! and we got vip treatment the entire trip! so thats good.. i've included some pics..

thanks ladies! lol.. i think i was just really tired yesterday cuz i apparently wasn't thinking.. i always weigh myself in the mornin and when i weighed yesterday it was mid day after i ate.. so when i reweighed this morning i realized id only gained a pound.. which is sooooo much better than the 3, but its still a gain regardeless.. which means definitely need to get back to routine.. and since i wont be drinking a ton of alcohol i think i should be ok.. lol But either way you are right..BACK TO BASICS! and hopefully i will be be losing soon, now the next problem i have to conqeur is the fact that im about to start my period which means inevitable gain. lol ugh.. the joys of being a woman!

ok so here is the deal.. went to vegas came home... gained 3 lbs.. and honestly i guess thats not terrible seeing as how i didn't really follow any type of diet while i was out there.. and obviously didnt work out at all.. and drank like a fish... PLEASE NO BODY FOLLOW MY INCREDIBLY BAD EXAMPLE... now i need to get back on track cuz i have this sneeking suspicion that i am not going to lose one more pound without some serious effort... heres why im posting.. since a week before i left i haven't lost any weight been sitting at 202, and i swear all i wanted to do was make it to onederand before my vegas trip.. obviously didnt happen.. and im not trying to write about a stall, but i am trying to find out if my last 56 lbs are gonna come off at all a little easily.. cuz dang.. thats just gonna suck.

lmao! see this is why i love this forum...no judging..lol i ask a ridiculous question and i get awesome responses..and can i just say... i just got back from vegas today... and i swear sin city has a whole new meaning.. lol and no i didn't sleep with anyone, lol but what happens in vegas will forever remain in vegas!!!!!!!!

ok it wasn't till after I wrote the topic I realized that's not what I meant...lol...but it was to funny to change. Ok so my question and ladies I'm serious about this. Why am I so freakin horny?! Lol ok but seriously I am going to go stir crazy...so what I lose a little weight and now all of a sudden I'm a sex addict....only heres the problem...I'm not gonna go sleep around. So now I'm just walking around all day like a guy! (Sorry fellas if any of u are reading that) lol but seriously what is goin on?!?!?!?!?!

See and this makes me wonder if guys get usable appendage....then for the ladies...lol do our boobes get bigger or more saggy?! Lmao!

AMEN TO THE HEATED BLANKET!!!!!!! i got one too and its the best investment i ever made! lol

ANR--- i about pissed my pants i was laughing so hard ... it funny, people think and let me say that again THINK they are being polite when really its a polite way of saying something rude.. lol. IMO and i think you are right they dont have a clue what we are going thru and probably never will and i assure you that i didn't do any of it for YOU!.. i DID IT FOR ME! I love my mother dearly, but i swear if its not one thing its another.. and as long as i keep trying to satisfy HER... I WILL NEVER SATISFY ME!

ohh im in fair oaks too...well that was easy ... if you would like them... thanks guys but i just dont think im going to like them later either.. lol.. but i already bought all new Vitamins so i dont need them. Message me in a private email and i can either give you my info or you can give me yours. what ever is easiest. i just don't want them to go to waste.

iegal that was classic... lol i feel the same way sometimes.. i go to work and i blast my heater.. and people look at me like im crazy!

wow that is amazing.. you look absolutely wonderful.. and you did all that and dont work out.. IM JEALOUS! and it doesn't look like you have any excess skin..you were beautiful before and you are absolutely gorgeous now! congrats on rockin that sleeve!

yup... and my new favorite... " i hope your not gonna get tooo skinny?!" really first i was too fat.. so now please tell me WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY? cuz thats why i went into have this surgery... to make you happy (in my most sarcastic voice)

hey guys.. i bought about 100 dollars worth of Vitamins from the bariatic advantage site and the chewable ones makes me nauseous.. i have found that i can only tolerate the gummy stuff so now i just have all these vitamins sitting here.. im willing to just sell them at the cost it would be to ship it.. cuz i don't want to waste them so if you want them just let me know.. heres what i have chewable Calcium citrate with vit D 270 tabs chocolate flav complete multi Vitamin 180 chewable french vanilla

i know this post was started a while ago so not sure if anyone will read this but just wanted to let you know if you are hungry and its been 3-4 hours since your last meal.. that is normal, u are supposed to eat every 4 hours to get in 6 meals a day.. 3 normal meals and 3 Snacks. if you are hungry in say an hour i understand thats a little different. but just wanted to put that out there.

thanks guys... im workin my butt off... literally..lol afro--- if you don't mind me askin what where your starting stats.. and what type of exercises are you doing.. maybe i can help with ideas on exercises.

i honestly think its the lack of Iron.. its why aenimic people are always cold too.. who knows.. but im freezing all the time now! and yet me eating a popsicle im sure wasn't helping.. lol,

OK WHY AM I FREEZING MY BUTT OFF RIGHT NOW.. IM WEARING SOX, A SWEATER, AND FUZZY PANTS.. AND YET MY DUMBASS IS SITTING HERE EATTING A POPSICLE!?!?!?! LOL BUT SOOOOO YUMMY.. I THINK ILL GO HAVE ANOTHER ONE! THAT IS ALL!

alright so here is the skinny..lol no pun intended.. my stats as of today 5'7'' hw: 265lbs gfs:250 dos:238.1 cw:202.9 gw:150 As of today I am 53 lbs from goal. I had my first post op meeting with my surgeon a few days ago everything went well.. doc said im on track and infact that i have lost something equivalent to those on bypass surgery, which i took as a good thing. She said that im healing nicely and that i can return to full workouts...YAY!!!!! THAT MADE ME HAPPY. Im gonna really start working my abs now cuz i want to have a 6 pack.. or at least something that resembles a 6 pack. So i have to admit.. lately i have been slackin on hitting the gym, but its cuz ive been really tired lately, i think a lot of it is due to the fact that i am NOT getting in my required amount of food and i keep forgetting to take my vitamins.. I know i know.. not good.. so im trying to get back on the horse and remember to take my vitamins and eat right. I am gonna keep this blog short as i decided to slice my hand open and its kind of hard to type.. but ive added progress photos for you to see! ITS A NEW YEAR!!! TIME FOR A NEW ME!

you should actually just be able to take the tab as is.. i have been since day one.. they are small enought that they wont get stuck and dont break like the gel tab ones.. so you should be ok. if you are really concerned you may want to ask your doctor, but i dont think they will prescribe you something you couldn't take. IMO

congrats!!! that is soooo amazing! keep up the good work. your going to be at goal in no time. )

thank you.. its almost all i can do.. i like to smile now..lol... go figure.. under all that chunk was a happy girl.. lol

Thank u everyone...I'm pumped and I can't wait for onederland

thank you all very much! i feel good.. :smilingface (52):

OK ... i think im about to ruin my good rep of working out and being a strick VSG person but here goes.. I have been drinking since about 3 weeks out.. lol.. i know im a horrible person, but when you work at a bar its really hard not to drink. i started of really slow, just trying a sip to see what it would do, cuz honestly i was more curious than anything... Im just under 7 weeks out.. monday will be 7 for me.. And for the past week or two i have been doing shots. now i think im am the exception to the rule... It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ME! Its kinda funny i thought id be a cheap date now, but nope.. i dont get drunk, infact if i have buzz and i don't keep drinking it actually goes away fast now than it did before the sleeve.. I AM NOT ... AND I REPEAT AM NOT CONDONING PEOPLE TO DRINK.. because it will affect a lot of people , and it is empty calories that can seriously hinder your progression of weight loss! with that said. i am also at the gym 5 days a week and work my butt off to make sure i keep losing weight! but seriously i was actually kinda hoping that i could have one drink and me like.. whooo hooo i don't have to drink anymore..lol.. that is simply not the case! I would still caution you to be very careful if you decide to drink, the only thing that i get out of it is a gas pain in my left side. lol..
