Wanting sweets....I ate a sf popsicle, that didn't curb my appetite for sugar...omg...I'm going to have to pray that the sugar craving leave me..oh and yess, my stomach loves it...it doesnt growl at all, I think it is smiling..lol...pray for me everyone, I am 4 months out and now 12#from my goal...ughhh[/quote']

Try lean shakes you get them from GNC they are lactose free and 170 calories and2 grams of sugar and they taste great and keep you full a long time

Hang in there Jami and no you are not a failure the hunger pangs will go away at least mine did, pre surgery I used to love me some Popeyes chicken but about two weeks out I could smell Popeyes and it won't even bother me, I have not eaten it since before surgery 14 weeks ago so hang in there lady ok

Great! Congrats

Pixie Dust yes you will have a incredible story to tell just wait and see time will pass by so quick just stay active and follow the docs orders you will do great!

Can I ask? With that quick of a weight loss' date=' do you have much lose skin? I'm so worried about this and want to know as I am still preop[/quote']

Yes it's only 50 lbs but I lost a lot of inches and no I don't have a lot of skin hanging its loose but I've been working out everyday so that's what you have to do if you don't want to have all that hanging skin. Good luck with your surgery!

Ccrim03 good luck with your surgery you will love the results!

Mrsreyes good luck when you have your surgery! And thanks I excercise every day even went to exercise boot camp for a month and a half it really helped with the inches

Thanks pixie dust! Went from a size 22 to a 10

I can't believe that I'm 13 weeks and I can actually shop in the regular size stores and do not have to find the plus size! I feel really good about my weight loss right now and am looking forward to the next couple months cause I will be going to Puerto Rico on July 4th and that's when I will post my first pic!

Yay I'm 12 weeks today! I've lost 43 lbs since surgery it may not seem like a lot compared to some people but I'm extremely happy! I weighed 227 on day of surgery today I weigh 184 I'm gonna post a pic on my 16 week anniversary

I will be 12 weeks on Monday and pre surgery I was on hbp pills and meds for diabetes but I have not taken no meds since surgery on jan 28 I'm walking 3 miles a day and feeling great!

My surgery was jan 28 and I'm scared to drink alcohol, I'm waiting until At least 6 months. Enjoy your drink if you decide to have one!
