  6. So this has probably been asked before but I can't find it. I'm almost 7 months out and doing awesome.... Except I have now been on my period constantly for over 2 weeks with no signs of stopping my doctor said it's most likely from the fat reasing all if the estrogen... But how can I stop it??? This is making me crazy!!!! AND totally emotional! Grrrrr!

  14. Girls you look wonderful!! Will share mine too Sleeved 6/3. HW 344 (in pic) CW 258
  15. I'm 5 months out on Sunday and down 84 lbs! I don't measure either. I can feel when it's time to stop. Rarely I go passed that point and oh my! It's not fun! You will get the feel of everything as you go along. Last Sunday after church I had a treat meal at Taco Bell. 1 taco and one piece of the chicken quesadilla. It was the perfect amount and oh so yummy!!
  16. For me it's been walking almost every day!! Most days I walk about 2 miles in about 31 minutes. Once or twice a week ill do 3-4 miles. Today i even did 5.21 miles!! It's fast paced but not kill you speed I've noticed quite a change over the last month or so in my upper thighs!!! Good luck!!!
  17. Absolutely NO complications!!! The first couple of days were slow going but since then it's been amazing!! Best thing I've ever done for myself!! Starting weight was 344. Today I'm 263. Sleeved on 6/3/13. Yesterday I did a 5k walked/jogged and today I walked 5.21 miles!! I think working out is the key! There are very few foods that cause me problems and I've only thrown up once and it was because I ate too much too fast!! Good luck with your surgery!!! It's awesome!!!!
  18. Holy cow!! You look awesome!!! I'm only about half way but here's mine 80 lbs down for me so far!
  19. I had a very interesting discussion with a friend of mine just this morning. He has gone carb free and lost quite a bit. He asked if I still have cravings because yesterday he went crazy and had 3 pieces of pizza... Some candy and more. I told him that I really don't because I can eat anything I want. I choose to eat healthy the majority of the time, but occasionally I indulge. Just last night we went to the fair and my daughter got the "curly fries". I had a few bites and was just fine. This lifestyle is not about giving things up, it's about making good choices. I refuse to "give up" foods. This is a forever thing. I just know that some foods can only be eaten on the rarest of occasions I was sleeved 6/3 and I'm down 80 lbs so far!!!

  22. Congratulations!! You look great!!!
  23. When were you sleeved? Are you working out? How many calories are you eating a day?
  24. Oops.... Forgot my stats Sleeved 6/3/13 Starting weight: 344 (seriously I still can't believe that) Current weight: 272 Starting size: 24/26 in pants and at least 3x in shirts Current sizes: 18/20 pants and 1x/2x tops!! Even bought an XL top the other day!!!!!!!!
  25. I feel much the same!! The bones are awesome!!! But there are definitely times I wish I could eat that whole steak, baked potato and maybe a dessert!! Then I think of the new size 18 pants that are already getting a little loose and savor the 4-5 bites of steak and 1/8 of potato )

  27. I have 4 saltine crackers and 1 tablespoon on peanut butter for breakfast everyday. I've had creamy AND crunchy. It keeps me full for a long time!! I'm 3 months out and down 69 lbs
