Little update on me everyone's looking great xx
I'm nearly 10 months post op, 93 lb (42 kg) lost so far, still have 28 lb (15 kg) to lose but I'm getting there with sweat and hard work
My stats : Height - 5'9" (1.76 m), SW - 287 lb (130 kg) , CW - 194 lb (88kg)
TW - 165 lb (75 kg)
Can't believe I'm posting a picture of me in that state. The before picture was 3 days after my surgery, when I got home

Well. This thread has been quite interesting.

Hahaha its almost awkward haha

Please don't turn this into a gay bashing thread. I was enjoying this and besides, it's 2013...

Never thought I'd say this about trolling...but this one is worth it for the laughs!

I think we are all being trolled.

Wow....who says romance is dead?

Hey guys! Get a room. Lol. I guess I should have expected that from a thread about sex.

It's been a few months since I posted a pic, so why not! I'm sooo close to Onederland, I can't wait to get there! But NSV'S by the boatload on the journey to getting there, so I can't complain about that a bit! My current in progress pic is from today- date night with my husband "fiddleman".

Every fat girl knows the right angle to hold the camera for a good selfy.

Um, all fat girls have pretty faces.

RJ's, I believe the focus is on high glycemic foods... refined sugars and processed foods.

[The conversation went back to her then, about how she needed to lose weight, but she was just too busy. There was no question about what I'd done to lose. The other mom, though, we've been good friends for years, and she just went on and on, and began asking what I was doing (as we've share weight struggles for years). I asked if she could keep a secret, then shared I had bariatric surgery. She was so excited and impressed, and wanted to know how I felt and how things were going, etc. She asked some really good questions. It was good!
Oh, hon, I know. While I tell everyone about my surgery and I believe in being honest. I totally understand how this type of people are better off not knowing about the surgery. While everyone I told was supportive and very nice about it, I have a similar acquaintance, this woman that looks really nice, she's always been slim , she had 3 babies, and she carried a bit of weight, and by "weight" I mean, a maximum of 10 pounds, so overall she's at a normal weight. And every time she sees a picture of me on Facebook ( she lives in France, I live in Britain) , she keeps saying things like " now you're losing so much weight and you look so good, and me, on the other hand, I get fatter and fatter and everyday" , or her first reaction of me telling her I'm having the surgery : so you'll get skinny and I'll stay fat! Felt like virtually slapping her.
I can understand how even 10 pounds can be hard to lose, it's very annoying, when she compares her "struggles" with weight with me and my actual struggles at almost 300 lbs before the surgery when she's only 140-150 lb . Somehow , this kind of people, will always make it about them, and not you. Luckly, there's not many as them. Most of people are like the other mom at your school, supportive, curious, asking good questions, etc.
Anyway, hopefully we won't have to deal with many people like this, many hugs and speedy recovery and hope you have an amazing journey ahead of you xx

I saw my BFFs DH today. I haven't seen him in a year. After saying hello he started digging in his pockets. All of them: pants, shirt, jacket. I asked him what he was looking for? He said, "five bucks so you can get a cheeseburger or something!" It was really funny. I know it's a compliment coming from him. It was all the theatrics. So funny.

I have one to add. Not sure how to take it. Lol! My boss always remarks on something "other" than my weight like, "is that a new sweater" "is that new perfume you are wearing" "oh, did you do your hair differently?". It is so bizarre. I just want to yell, "it's okay, I lost 100 lbs, I know I look different!".
