I cudnt wait to respond to this thread! I am 28yrs old. I had high blood pressure and was on meds at 25yrs old. I cudnt walk up the stairs without getting out of breath. I cudnt tie my shoe or paint my toenails without a struggle, the only regret I have is waiting 2 years to get the surgery. I have a co-worker that informed me that our insurance pays for this surgery. So I sat back and watched as him and his wife got this surgery and between the 2 of them they lost the weight of 3 people. And I STILL didnt get it. I have 3 boys and I cudnt dance with them I cudnt run or race with them I cudnt ride bikes with them or play basketball with them. I cudnt wrestle with them. Now these are all things that I did wit them this summer. I cant believe the difference that weight made in my life. I run the stairs I jog I wotk out everyday I dont sweat I dont run out of breath like I use to. I played baseball and basketball with my boys this summer we rode bikes we dance all the time! My youngest son (7) can wrap his arms completely around my waist now. I can fit my oldest sons jackets coats and shirts. (Hes 10) im now known as skinnny tiffany instead of the heavey set tiffany lol yes I laugh at it now. My co-workers didnt recognize me, people I have known for years dont recognize me now. And I soak uo every bit of it cuz I deserve it. People think its easy to have this surgery but I wish I cud show them exactly how hard it is. My hubby tells me all the time he admires my strength cuz he cudnt have did the pre-op diet let alone the 2mth long post-op. Even now I don't eat the things I use to. Dont get me wrong im far from perfect but compared to what I ate before...I eat like a bird seriously lol my hubby at the timed weighed 260lbs I was right behind him at 240lbs and I am 5'1 now I am 137lbs and you ask wud I do it again and my answer is in a heartbeat. Do I regret it? My answer is not at all!! I regret not having this done at 24!! Its cheaper on the household its convenient when your to busy to cook its normal! Im now 14mths out I can eat a normal size meal that wudnt look weird to someone that doesnt know ive had this surgery (for those of you who want to keep it a secret) im no longet on bp meds ...I wear a size 6....I cud go on and on about the good things this surgery has brought to me. No I didnt have any complications my surgeon was amazing and I healed wonderful. But if the outcome was the same I wud go thru complications becuz its worth it [ATTACH]20253[/ATTACH] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

I need to accept the fact that I cant continue to lose weight and still eat carbs. Smh but the things I want are things I shudnt be eating anyway. chips, cake, sweets smh I need to back away from all of that competely Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

I'm going thru this now! Its like I don't know when to stop! I can feel that I'm full and my mind is telling me eat eat eat! ! Smh I don't get sick and throw up but it's doesn't feel good either smh. I need to start over on a pre op diet soon becuz I'm afraid of stretching my stomach and also gaining weight. I haven't gained anything tho Thank God and im over a year out now si I can eat more and I work out 3 days a week and my job is very physical but this still scaring me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

I haven't weighed myself but I have lost a half inch from my waist so far! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

Yea I found them for 2 for $9 at kroger! So I cleaned up! !!ya they are lower in Protein but the calories are much lower and that's what I like. The premier shakes were just to expensive for me at $9 pet pack of 4 at kroger. Especially that's basically all I eat all day Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

Also I noticed that drinking these have curved my cravings for carbs ... Is it just me or have you noticed a difference?

Current weight 138 goal 130

Ill join in seeing as tho I have 8lbs to lose ! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

What is 5:2??

I am going to put myself on a strict protein shake diet until the 24th.thats my one year surgiversary. So I will be starting as soon as I'm able to grocery shop and buy my shakes. Which will be in a couple days. I've been ranging between134-138lbs with water weight. I want to get down to 130 now so I won't die every time I get close to 140 because of water weight.
