Thanks everyone, just an update on pant size, now I'm in a size 2/3 depending on the brand. Super excited, but ready to stop losing.

Thanks everyone

I do have issues with excess skin, I'm working on it with crunches & running , but I think I'll end up with plastic surgery . Thanks for your kind compliment on my age, I'm actually 38. You just made my day Good luck on your incredible journey ahead of you .

I am only 5'2"

Your welcome , glad I could bring you up. Stalls suck , but eventually you'll start losing again.

Thanks everyone

I am only 5'2"

Sept 26, 2012 , started at 209 , current weight 127, as of 4/30/12. Before Sept 2012 Now April 30, 2013

These past 7 months have been great & a lot of changes for that have made my life so much better. Wish I could of had this surgery done sooner in life , oh well , I'm living it up now. I can be that fun, energetic mom to my kids now. I can that happy wife to my husband , I can be proud of who I am & not be ashamed of letting myself go after having kids. I'm proud of what I've accomplished & who cares if I had surgery to solve the problem , I'm the one who took the risk , not anyone else. I'm the one healthy now. Here are my pics from before to the present.

Thank you

Thanks You will get there, I went through stalls & got discouraged , but little by little it comes off. Before the surgery , I wouldn't shed a pound. Now to lose 1-2 lbs a week or every other week is fine with me.

Thanks everyone . I am 7 months out & I just weighed myself today & I am 7 lbs away from my goal weight. I'm so happy right now, Dr said it would probably take a yr to achieve , but I'm almost there, YAY ME!!!! I had to share this , & to everyone - you will get to your goal weight , don't give up, this new stomach of ours , is changing our lives for the better. So glad I had this done

Thought I'd share this , I posted it on FB group , some of you may have seen already . I feel like I was on an ad for Jenny Craig or something , lol. Feels GREAT!!! My pant Sz was a very very tight 18 , should of been wearing a 20 or 22. Now in a size 5/6

Thanks for your input . I'm waiting to see a specialist. My regular dr said it was nothing to worry about. I'm getting a second opinion.

Had a CT scan done found a possible fatty liver, probably due to rapid weight loss . Ok has anyone else experienced this? Also was told I have a small umbilical hernia , also result off weight loss. I'm waiting to hear back from my surgeon . Any feed back from anyone would be great .

Thanks everyone , time to go back to normal sleeve diet Good luck to everyone as we continue our journey

Thank ya , thank ya!! Ya , it's not a daily thing, it shouldn't hurt me. I'm just being honest with you all. Have a good evening everyone

I couldn't help it, I got weak.... Had a slice of chocolate cake at work, then had a big peanut butter cookie after eating pizza for dinner. Bad day , big OOpss !! I know , I know , was so wrong . But just to let you all know, it happens to all of us every now & then. Just keeping it real Just had to vent , I'll be strong tomorrow

I had acid reflux the first month & OMG it was horrible. That has passed , but I feel it really helped me not to eat as much & my body got use to it. Now if I over eat , I just get full, no acid reflux & I stop eating . Your body will adjust soon enough , just remember to follow the guidelines your dr gave you & you should do fine. It gets easier as the months go by

Thanks everyone

No cosmetic surgery yet, my skin is loose & I hate it. I think I have at least 3-5 lbs of loose skin on my lower abdomen , I have loose skin on my inner thighs, & loose skin on my arms, gross. My boobs are gross & sagging , definitely need a boob job, went from a 42 D to a 38 B Very glad to have lost the weight, but now have to try to workout & sculpt this skin or save money for cosmetic surgery . Glad to have a supportive husband who doesn't care either way . But I want it done. Thanks for the compliment
