I made this post a little over a year its been 3 years and 2 months since my sugery and I'm up to 185 pounds and I'm so mad at myself. Two days ago I went back to basic Protein first then veggies and increasing my Water intake and im having a hard time ggettig in my protein and water requirements but I can sure eat a whole lot of fast food and Snacks with no problems I got to get a handle on this or I will be 254 again even my hump on my back came back I have to wear long hair just to hide it. Please any advice or words of encourgment welcomed. Before wls 254, day of wls 234 lowest weight 132 current weight 185 wls 3-12-13

I look so much younger

No I couldn't of done it by myself, for ten years I was single I promised myself I wouldn't date till I was skinny with that said as lonely as I was I still couldn't find the motivation to lose weight so I had sugery best decision ever.

Go to search type in 5 day pouch test review I did it and posted what I ate and pound lost for all five days I think it was like 7 pounds

I also have a fb I had a c-section 23 years ago and was cut from my navel straight down to my bikini line not to mention I have a apron when I was at goal weight it was still there and when I gained weight all 25 pounds went right to my fb plastics is the only option to remove it.

Thanks for all of the replies you guys, it just sucks to be at goal buy all these nice clothes and now you can't fit them anymore but I did it to myself and I'm doing something about it now and once I reach goal again I'm going to stay there cause I never want to feel this way again. I got a good man he saw the 25 pound weight gain and never complained he's away for six weeks when he gets back I hope to be at least 135 when he first met me wish me luck.

Yeah I did, went from 254 to 132 now I'm 147 and that's after losing 13 pounds how did this happen? A new relationship is what happened got to comfortable, not working out, going on dinner dates now I'm paying for it and I'm approaching my two year so I'm bigger now than I was last year this time. Have to admit last summer was the best summer ever I got to wear summer dresses that I never would of put on at 254 and just seeing my man eyes light up when I walked through his door wearing those dresses was priceless. So with that being said I'm going to lose this weight my new goal is 125 to 130 I think that's perfect for a 5ft1 frame.

I'm 5ft1 pre op 254 post op 234 now 140 lowest weight 132 date of surgery March 12 2013

Just an update I had a huge hump on my neck which is fat deposits I had it since I was like elementary school well I noticed it was completely gone like 8 months after my sugery so trust me there is hope

Well let's see this summer was the first summer ever I've been able to wear cute short summer dresses and I'm 42 might not seem like a big deal to most but I felt beautiful and sexy so that alone was worth the sugery and I started dating again after 9 1/2 years.

You want to see a true apple shape go to my gallery I got all you guys beat I was all stomach

Sorry I don't know why my pictures posted that way

Had wls 3-12-2013 in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz preop 254 day of sugery and after 3 week diet 234 today 134 my goal weight to stay between 125-130. I am an apple shape as you guys can tell and will have to have plastics to remove hanging skin on my stomach, thighs, arms, and back fat, not to mention my breast are in terrible condition should of been at goal weight by now but to many cheat days and not enough exercising I'm joining Planet Fitness today.  

5ft1 day of sugery I was 234 now im 140 trying to get down to 130 last 10 pounds is killing me keep going between 137 and 140

It doesn't get any better I started at 254 my initial goal weight was 150 but at 160 new it would have to be much lower so now I am 137 and still feel fat because of my stomach so now I pushed my goal to 130 and I've told myself that at 130 even if I dont like what I see I have to stop. Went from wearing a size 26 pants to a size 12 a size 3x shirt to a lg and that due to needing a bigger shirt to cover my stomach. Just bought my first dress last week a size lg but now need to buy some Spanx to look good in it you would think 130 pounds on a 5ft1 inch frame you would be skinny well not for an apple shape. My 1 year is coming up March 12 will post pic then.

I want to add the Protein shakes for more Protein plus it's fast and I don't have to prepare it. I'm 16 pounds from goal and starting to have a hard time staying on track I just did the 5 day pouch test again and I work better when I know what I have to eat and do so for me having yogurt for Breakfast a Protein shake for lunch and just cooking a hot meal for dinner I think would keep me on track and maybe snacking on one Protein Bar throughout the day might help satisfy the sweet craving so I would really appreciate you guys feedback.

Im thinking of either having a Protein Shake or Quest bar every day is that a bad thing especially the quest bar I think of them as candy bar and is there anyone out there who eats quest bars on the regular and still manage to get to goal?

I refuse to wear jeans till I buy some padded undies cant wait to have plastic sugery next year

Long story short does anyone know of a store that sells padded underwear I don't want to order online need to try it on first.
