I missed my goal by 1.8. I will take my loss happily! I hit a bit of a stall mid challenge. I'm so happy to have lost 57lbs and I know there is no way I could have done this on my own pre-sleeve in a year- much less 3 months!

Yay!!! You have done so awesome! Yesterday was my 3 month and I missed my goal by 1.8- but I stalled and had my period in the middle of the challenge!!! You will get to twoderville soon!!!!

I have a pair if boot cut in size 16- maybe for the future?

3 months post sleeve and I have not thrown up once- couldn't do it even if I tried to make myself. I even had a stomach flu and the flu and no puking. I did dry heave for 3 days post sleeve, but once I stopped taking pain meds I was fine.

Congrats!!!!! I'm so happy for you! I have baby fever so bad .

I tried to go to pecan lodge a while back- but the line was outrageous and I was on a schedule . We might have to go try again

I love some hard 8! We go to the one in Roanoke quite a bit since we live close!

I've only had gates once and I remember liking it a lot

I honestly considered it three years prior- I would have had surgery July 2009, however I found out I was pregnant and obviously could not continue with the process. Then in 2011 I went through the whole process including insurance approval and had to back out due to work issues (I was offered a very large promotion, but the stipulation was I had to start the week before I would have had surgery. I thought long and hard about it. Last summer- I almost lost my dad from complications of diabetes. I did lose my grandfather a week before my surgery from diabetes complications. I KNEW I didn't want my kids in 20 years to be sitting in a hospital bed with me thinking it could be their last time to see me alive all because of my stupid eating habits. I thought about what life after the sleeve would be like- and not just the rainbows, glitter and unicorns- but the what will it feel like to not have thanksgiving dinner with my family. (I had surgery 10 days before thanksgiving). What will happen at family functions? Etc, etc, etc. I know I did what is right for me AND for my family. I have lost 55lbs and I could not be happier. I love my new life- but there have been so very very many things non surgery related that have happened in the last 3 months that it would make almost anyone feel marginally insane .

I have noticed some changes, but I can't say if they are from surgery or more so from dealing with a billion changes all at once. We've had so much family stuff happen in the last 3 months it's crazy! I seriously spent almost 17 hours crying one day last week- off and on- not all at once. But- its been a lot to take in short amount of time. My non op fiancé has had a lot of the same issues as I have (and he is one of those always calm people) so it really may just be the stress. But I know I have had a few crazy mood swings.

Started at 248- sitting at 195 currently. Lost 53lbs. Sleeved 11/13.

I'm from Texas- I eat BBQ a lot. It's one of the few going out to eat places I don't have to think much before I order . That being said- I love me some sweet baby rays! I use it on my pulled pork when I make it. I'm also a big fan of one out of Oklahoma called head and country. Like frye said- I use maybe 1-3 tsp depending on what I'm doing with it, so I don't swear it much. I eat clean most of the time so adding a few carbs from sauce won't kill me. Btw- that kens wing marinade is awesome. My fiancé uses it all the time!

Fat stores estrogen and as you lose fat you get a big influx of estrogen in your system. Having too much estrogen is a big cause of low libido- but so is having too little estrogen!

I've noticed it as well. I'm almost 3 months out an I keep joking with my fiancé that he just keeps growing . I'm not complaining- but I have noticed some positions are slightly more uncomfortable than they were pre-surgery

I started at a 40f- and I am now in a 38g! Somehow they actually appear perkier? I'm not complaining after breast feeding 2 kiddos!

I went shopping today. I'm in a 14 in regular sizes and a large top . I will take it!

I got crab legs and ate them without butter the last time I went.

I'm going to go look! Why oh why is burleson, waxahachie or cleburne the closest HEB to ft worth?!? Although I did hear that they bought a lot not too far away from home! Bring on the hill country fare!!!

Anyone know if central market has it? My parents have an HEB- might have to make them Bring me some when they come see me on Tuesday.

Yeah- I bought a size 12 dress that fit last weekend- there is no way in hell I could fit into a real 12!! I'm 4'11 and 195! My 16w jeans are getting too big- so I 'might' be in a 14?
