Princessita did you drink the protein shakes or just stick to clear liquids on day one and two.

For those who have or had the hump ( fat deposits) on the back of there neck can you tell me what you noticed when it was going away mine looks like its moving further down my neck, does it go away for good?

Dr. Lopez

Wow you look great

Ok I get it that's why the eas bars says 3 net carbs on the front but on the back it's say like 24 carbs so u subtract any fiber in it thanks.

For those 4 months post op or more are you eating protien bars, oatmeal, and protein shakes? Tired of eating the same old foods, scared of fruit due to carbs is there any good carbs we can eat?

My date was march 12 went from 254 to 193 as of today, I feel fine best decision I ever made.

I started my journey at 254 and being only 5ft1 that's a lot of weight to carry I'm now 195 so I'm getting close to my goal of 150. I've noticed the closer I get to goal the more depress I am and mad at myself that I let my weight stop me from living the life I deserved I'm at a shitty job that I hate because I thought I couldn't do any better, I let my hair and apperance go to hello, I dress like a bum, picked real bad relationship and just let people walk over me. Fast forward to now here I am 41 years old and now that I'm losing weight I want better I want a better job, I want to fix myself up I just want to be a better me and to be honest I don't know how, I don't know where to start and its sad that I've been single not even dating due to my weight I didn't want to get close to any man because I stopped believing that there where men that actually liked fat woman and for all of you who have been taken advantage of because your fat and desperate for love you all know what I'm talking about. So I'm going to start by getting to 150 pounds get a complete makeover and read Dr. Phill book LIFE CODE and go back to school probably not in that order but its something I got to do can't waste another yeyear

No more than 20 grams of fat

My weight was 254 and I'm 5ft1 now I am 195 should be a little less now haven't been on a scale in a while

I will be 3 months out next week and I track fat and carbs not so much calories cause I don't eat over 600 but I try to eat under 30 carbs which is hard everything has carbs in it even greek yogurt example of meals breakfast egg beater, a slice of fat free cheese, 1 slice of turkey breast, lunch fat free cottage cheese and 5 grapes, dinner which is the bulk of my carbs bocca chicken patty its so good but about 40 calories in fat and due to it being breaded it has carbs when I finsh this box I'm done with them for a while going to stick to lobster tails and shrimp and my carb intake should be under 15 a day so carbs matter. I also am guilty of snacking latley nilla waffers and reduced fat ritz crackers haven't had them in two days trying to get to 190 by next Friday. Still haven't had any fast food yeah just the snacking on crackers and cookies but in all lost 59 pounds so far probably would of lost more if it wasn't for all the mistakes I made example eating the wrong soups, drinking gatarade tons of sugar in a bottle among other things.

Thanks for the response looking forward to dating again 46 more pounds and I'm on my way

I'm 41 I've been single for 9 years due to being overweight I told myself as long as I'm fat I will not date well I had my sugery I have about 46 pounds to go till goal my question is how is dating and falling in love differ from your 30s since I missed that period does your heart skip a beat do you run to the phone hoping its him calling does it feel any different?

I'm also a black woman with a huge hanging stomach, small legs, small butt all my weight is in my stomach I had sugery march 12 2013 I've lost 59 pounds so far here is what I noticed my face is smaller, my shoulders and arms are smaller I have bat wings, my breast is smaller I'm 44dd my cup size is a cc if there is a such thing haven't bought a new bra yet, my thighs, fingers, hips and my waist have gone down but my stomach not so much I was wearing a loose 4x shirt or 26 shirt and 26 pants the shirt so big to cover my stomach now size 20 pants some 18 and xl shirt stomach and bat wings are going to have to be removed after I reach my goal I envy other shaped woman never ever been able to wear a skinny leg jeans due to my stomach so all pants are baggy on my thighs since I never had big legs or thighs ti begin with.

I lost 20 pounds during pre op diet I did it for 3 weeks was told only had to do it for 2 weeks sugery date was march 12 2013 now I'm down 59 pounds coming up on my third month next week if I hadn't of done the preop I would be at 39 pounds lost so glad I did it.

Ok maybe I shouldn't of said that but that what I was called growing up I have a lump of fat on the back of my neck it's been there since I was in my teens the doctor said at the time if I lost weight it would go away so for those of you who had this when did you notice that it went away?

Hi I am 5ft1 inches tall and now weigh 209 from 255 and this month on the 12th will make my 2 months post op (and I thought I was going to be a slow loser) well anyway I have a apron (fat hanging below private area) and because of it I dont look like I lost almost 50 pounds for those of you that have or had a apron when did you really start to notice a difference and did you wait till goal to have it removed?
