i get more the head hunger . not hungry like before surgery but I just want to snack and graze all night.... I have the day time thing down, shake at 7 am , lunch at 11, snack at 3 dinner at 6 thats for a work out day , other days are 7 am shake, lunch at 1100 , dinner at 4 snack at 7

My name is Lisa and I am out of Tacoma Washington, I had my sleeve done in Everette by Dr Chock .... she is fabulous and I am down 92 lbs in 6 months ... ddnt quite hit the big 100 but looking foward to more weight loss this next 6 months

So I am officially 6months out today , down 92 lbs per the scale here at the hotel, was hoping for the big 100 but being on the road has totally thrown me off with my work out schedule and eating. do you know how hard it is to eat out every meal because my company wont pay for me to buy through grocery stores. totally sucks...... anyhow hopefully the lbs will start to drop again once I get back to my personal trainer.

I will post pictures soon on my page once i get home and have clothes that fit me ...

omg !! how awesome of a difference !!! where did you have it done?

I was also lucky to have from size 18-26 in my closet but now after loosing 90 lbs I am a 14 /16 and need to shop , I only buy things on the discount rack and they cant be more than $20 dollars. although I did buy a pair of work pants well actually 2 pair that made me look skinny and have gotten nothing but compliments from them for $39 dollars. overall I havent spent tooo much on new clothes and when I buy I buy alittle on the tight side other than the loose side . and they last way longer.

down 90 lbs since sept . love to shop !!!

Congrats !! this is your first step to a healthier new you !!! dont look back and keep moving forward, to be alittle anxious is normal and will come and go the closer you get to your date!!!

I am almost 6 months out and still have this problem from time to time. I have a marriage of different items I take but found once I could tolerate Prunes 2-4 a day does the trick and they are sweet and give me that feeling like I am eating candy..... They are 100 calories for 4 and lots of carbs but they do keep things moving ... good luck cause it sucks when your constipated

I had BC/BS and there was no way around the exclusion because my company excluded it.... so I had to pay best money I am spending !! happy to write that check every month. 90 lbs down and still going! good luck !!

thanks for sharing :wub:

I am almost 6 months out and I stall for three weeks and loose during one week , so as long as you are following the plan you will loose be patient !!! i am 90 lbs down today ...

walk, sip rest repeat

dont need them yet but been thinking about that .... still have 8 grand more to pay on my surgery and then I am starting to save for my plastics !!!! Tummy Tuck is in my future

congrats sounds like your doing well.....

I am doing the exact same thing, I will not pay over 15 $ for anything right now... any store I go into I shop the sales rack only untill I get closer to goal....

also I was just told about a few consignment shops in my area for BBW for my dress clothes that I can try to make some money back ... checking that out this weekend.

my doc said i could do like light excercise at about 6 or 8 weeks out then told me that I should start strength training at about my 4 month mark ... my trainer is kicking my butt !! but i have noticed that i havnet lost weight since I started training, I have totally lost some inches and I am getting stronger .... also I seem to want to eat more .... I am still getting the hang of it ... but the burn feels so good

wowsa looking good !!!! congrats it feels good doesnt it !!!

I took in one ounce every 15 minutes but I get up pretty early and stay up pretty late, I was also sipping at night when I would wake to use the bathroom. your stomach after a couple of months gets alittle more relaxed and you can sip more at a time, now I have no issues with Water intake at all.

Weird I was just thinking about this,.... I have always been the kind of person with the attitude either you like me or you dont. Before surgery I dated quite often but nothing serious the men always seemed to be looking for non commital type relationships. In the coming months before surgery I decided to focus my attention on my self and self improvement and the surgery..... I haven't dated in over 15 months and just started to date again after loosing almost 90 lbs ... I have met two men that have have told me they are working toward a committed relationship with me in the last few weeks. the weird thing is at my fattest I had no problem stripping off my clothes or being in the buff / shorts/ bathing suit and I was very comfortable in my own skin , being thinner now I feel ackward for some reason.. I dont have any loose skin except on my belly but not too much.... I still feel fat but I am more concerned now than before about the way I look if that makes since... I am dreading the day one of them will want to take this relationship to a more personal level.... I dont look the way I want to yet and then I have to make a choice which one I want to date more seriously....

anyhow its valentines day and I have one date today and another tomorrow so life is good !!!

Happy Valentines day

stay strong !! it pays off in the long run!!! my insurance did not cover surgery so I had to pay outta pocket , I know what it is like waiting , and waiting and waiting some more but after a year of saving and then getting some financing I had my surgery best darn thing I could of ever done !!!! hoping to loose 13 lbs more to make it 100 lbs by 6 month mark

when I went to see my doctor last week she warned me that things are starting to slow down about the 5/6 month mark and i can already tell where i was loosing 15 lbs a month last month it was only ten and this month it is following suit or maybe even less. She told me to really watch my food /carb intake and work out more and do not eat more because you are working out I found that working was making me hungrier.. the weight will come off just at a slower rate. Congrats on your weight loss !!!

wowsa thats alot , every doc is different , I just had to stay under 800 calories a day, I was allowed 1 small meal like a lean quisine that had to be under 200 calories and then a couple of shakes. after surgery the Normal is 60 grams of protien a day at least , so I would assume as long you watch your protien intake and calories you will be fine.

I have lost almost 90 lbs so i can tottally feel you, I was told by a co-worker that his wife wouldn't let him have lunch with me anymore. I guess now I am a threat to her, when I was 338 lbs she had no problem with it... say nothing keep smiling and let the people whom have problems be their problem not yours life is too short to worry about it. !!

congrats on your weight loss

I use the magic bullet and totally love it !!

I arrived at my clinic at 7 am they took my vitals and had me change into a night gown and robe they supplied me . the Dr came and asked me if I had any questions and breifly went back over everything , the anestheiologist did the same. the wheeled me back into the room hooked me up to some moniters gave me something to relax and I fell asleep the next thing I remember is I was awake 1/12 hrs later and feeling absolutely great thought they didnt do surgery or something because I felt really good , tried to get up and tehy said I had to wait before getting up. The Dr came in said all went good, I got up and walked ... the only side effect I had was I couldnt use the bathroom after surgery due to the medicine they gave me so they pumped me up with lots of Fluid till I felt like i was gonna bust and the meds also made me have insomnia so bring something to do just in case you get that. ......... i walked all night long on and off ............

Everything will be great !!!! let us know how you do

no everyone is different... just follow your doctors instructions and you wll be alright.... I also didnt have any problems ... we are some of the lucky ones. just measure or weigh your food and all is good !! congrats on the weight loss !!! keep up the good work ..
