Woooo hoooooop... im officially over weight...lololol. sooo excited HW 233 SW 216 CW 164 SURGERY WAS AUG 8, 2013 NO LONGER OBESE haven't seen 164 since I was 20

Well well, look at all of us her the close to or at 5 months post op! It feels like so long ago. I am confortable with my sleeve but kind of got knocked off the wagon a bit over the holidays. & We are remodeling our kitchen so not too much cooking here. Thank god for protein shakes, & Bars!! Stats: HW 233 SW 216 CW 167 GW 135-145 Surgery was 8/8/13

I had surgery 4 months ago..I told noone except my husband and parents. Now Im 4 months out and down 60 lbs since surgery. That much weight loss on a 5 foot 2 frame has everyone asking HOW I did it!! I feel like such a liar telling them about my low carb diet plan with small portions and exercise even though that is all true I just leave out the part where a surgeon has removed 80% of my stomach. So my question is HOW do I tell people the truth after living a lie for all this time. I know its noones business and I wanted to be private about the surgery. For one I was afraid it wouldnt work and didnt want everyone expecting me to lose all this weight, two I didnt want to be the topic of anyones discussion when Im not around (Although I suppose I probablly am now anyway) Three I didnt want anyone to talk me out of it and I didnt want to admit to the anyone that I was so heavy that I even qualified for weight loss surgery in the first place. ANY ADVICE

Wow! Amazing! How tall are you? 5" 2

I HOPE TO BE "OVERWEIGHT" BY THanksgiving!! (LOL) Fitness Goal for November Gym 720 minutes of Gym Time!! Thats 45 minutes 4x/week I hope to lose 10 lbs by the months end!! 164lbs!!!

I have same question. I was diagnossed with PCOS at 21 yrs old (164lbs) I had surgery 8/8/13 and almost at a 60lb loss(230lbs >174lbs)!! Went to dr yesterday and ultrasound indicated cysts were still all there and no indication of ovulation. Dr ordered lab tests to see if I have reversed the condition. Kind of confused. Im only 3 months out.. Not sure if and when cysts will go away and IF I will ever ovulate on my own despite my VERY regular periods...

Did your ovarian cycts go away??? Had an ultra sound today (Not pregnant for other reasons) Lost almost 60lbs so far and cycts are still there!! Going to check lab levels as well..

A bit or two of everything at Our house "big italian family". Would give me probably 2 heaping plates..lol.. we have shrimp cocktail..fried raviolis, antipasta which is a huge platter of cold cuts and cheeses, then we have sausage bread which is a family favorite that everyone goes crazy for..and of course chips dips..and veggie plattter..and that's all before the turkey and stuffing even comes out...lolol not to mention the wrap around 3 tables desserts...luckily I have 2 small kids to keep me busy and away from the table...

Thanksgiving is right around the corner The Day Of Stuffing your face with goodies...Uhh I mean Giving Thanks,,(lol) What is YOUR Weight Loss Goal That you want to meet By then AND what is your plan of action to get through Thanksgiving Day feeling GOOD about yourselves.. HW 235 SW 216 Surgery 8/8/13 CW 175 GW 135 My Goal for Thanksgiving is to be at my Wedding weight which was 169lbs!! I plan on eating some Turkey, green beans and 2 tablespoons of stuffing I also plan on making sugar free fat free banana cream pie and just eating the filling.. I may also make Sugar free Canolli dip .... Your Turn.>>>

I have a strict rule about only weighing in on Monday morning..(was getting obsessive with scale) So this monday I weighed in at 176.6. I lose about 2 lbs a week so Id say I hit my halloween goal..yeah! Now for my Thanksgiving Goal..170lbs AKA Wedding Weight!!!

Best of luck..I had surgery at winthrop 8/8/13..and have 2 say..I am thrilled and have had no complications ..was running around doing errands withins days and driving after 6 daysand can eat anything steak salad brocolli chicken eggs...Nothin bothers me...and I have lost 55lbs in since my preop diet started on jul 25th! I hope u have an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery!
