Well I'm 5 6 my goal is 160 but I was happy when I was 180 honestly I just want to get back to a 10/12 and ill be golden

I am SO looking forward to this problem!!

Let's all remember one thing that my doc said to me at my 30 day check up - this is NOT a sprint...it is a marathon! Helped me feel A LOT better about the speed at which I was losing.

Here's a non weight posting success. I am able to put on an adorable pair of of pink and green paisley pants that I bought from Talbot's two years ago. They were WAY tight when I bought them and maybe wore them twice. My fear now is by the time it warms up, they will be falling off of me.

Pain is different for everyone but you'll have a pain pump so you'll be good. Walk as much as possible as soon as you can get up.

Sorry to be blunt but ever since I had my surgery i lost my ass and girls if u know what I mean? How in the world do you get used to this ? I always had a problem with a big behind!!!! Now every pants I get I'm sagging !!!!! Frustrating !!!

One week exactly to my 3 month anniversary....really trying to drop 6 pounds to hit my 50 pound 3 month goal...if not would love to be 50 down by Easter!
I went on vacation last week...I had seafood every night, but shared with my boyfriend and only had things that were grilled or steamed. A couple bites each night really filled me up with half a side salad...and I saved money!
You all make me feel so much better! At times I think what if I fail and don't loose all the weight, but when I see you are all in the same place as me I feel so much better! Thanks for the inspiration.
***What is everyone's height and goal weight?***
I'm 5'6, goal at the moment is 140....but I'm starting to think that might be too low.

I just want to come in with a quick happy report that I am down now by 49 pounds since surgery (12/6/12) and I will be busy for the next 2 days with work I pray i return on that 3rd day with the 50 i been waiting for.. Wish me luck December sleevers! I am feeling super great today! Keep up the good work guys

If he is able to isolate an answer, make sure you write it down, because the secret to gaining breast size while losing weight would be a millionaire maker.

I'm 3 months out and live on my fitness pal!!! I usually get 650-800 calories daily 75-85 grams of Protein

Jmbaker, many of us track daily on MyFitnessPal, I average between 700-800 a day, personally. I don't focus so much on my calories as I do on my Protein. I'm 4 months out, so 'm not really concerned with my liquid anymore since I know I pretty much hit my liquid goal no problem now. my nick on MyFitnessPal is also 920amy, feel free to look up my profile, add me, and see what I'm eating if you'd like. My average day goes Protein Shake for Breakfast (190 cal, 30g protein) solid protein for lunch today I had shredded chicken some guacamole salsa and maybe 5 chips, dinner I had 1 piece of chicken tender and 3 shrimp, I usually have some veggies with dinner also, but didn't tonight. For snack I eat beff Jerky, sometimes nuts, sometimes left over protein from dinner the night before. I try to change it up so I don't get into an eating 'rut'. The only thing I usually keept he same is my morning Protein Drink. I am terrible with breakfast and if I don't have a shake I have nothing, so I try to force myself especially during the week to get that shake in first thing! Good luck!

Wait.... Your boobs got bigger after surgery????

My husband wasn't excited about my decision but supported me anyway. Now I can hardly keep his hands and other parts off me!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Okay, I'm a newbie, I'm 20. But I have a question! Is it mean to want all the guys I knew while I was fat to hit on me? BUT I want them to hit on me just so I can blow them off. Lol. Kinda like I was there before and no one said anything, but now that I'm looking good it's different. I'm kinda bitter about it. That's why I've decided to not date anyone I already knew.
Is anyone else feeling like this? Not that I'd lead anyone on, but I might some of the a**holes I knew. lol

I'm down 67 lbs and I was over flowing size 28 jeans and now fit comfortably in a 22

You'll get over it! I had my omg moment about day 4. Mine was because I wasn't able to hold stuff down. You'll learn food is no longer fun but for nutrition. Now food doesn't have to be boring! I love finding good recipes and tailoring them to my needs! You can still love food but just in 4 oz portions

I guess there are worse problems...

This thread is worthless without pics....teee heee hee. Sorry ladies, I could not resist.

Hi All!
I have decided to get the sleeve and am currently a month into my 6 month diet Pre- requisite for my insurance. I am really enjoying reading all the posts. So much great information! Looking forward to learning more and visiting with you all!

I feared that as well. My vice was diet dr pepper multiple times a day. It was easy to give up after surgery when you are trying so desperately to just get down your fluids for the day... Diet coke will be the last thing on your mind... Or at least that's how it was for me
Then after about 4 months I tried a sip of my beloved diet dr pepper and eh I could do without... It just wasn't the same.
You'll be ok
