@@twittymilk no problem! good luck to her!

you can expect your loss to slow down and your body will begin to maintain. you should still work on your eating, because trust me, u can gain it back. i gained about 8 lbs over a few months, but it began with the holidays. and i was doing less cardio. so just be mindful from here on out. good luck...

the people who gave me the "dont do it", i didnt say anything else to them about it. i let them have their opinion. because i had more people on my side than not. and once i started to trasnform, i let that speak for itself. good luck! you will be A-OK!

we cant do ibuprofen???? uh oh! im on the ring...nuva ring

squats and leg exercises...

i was able to schedule most of my appts within a week. so i knocked em out really fast. i didnt do too much running around. i live in qnz so i chose the gastroenterologist in qnz. but they give u a recommendation of drs that know and work them when you go in for all of the insurance requirements.

yea more or less...or in the vicinity!

i am loving ur icon! i love sunflowers! Hi all' I am getting sleeved on July 17 at Columbia Presyberterian at 168 at in Manhattan. My surgeon is DR. Schrope @nyelaah...im a july sleever too! *high five* whoooooooo!!!

@@twittymilk and the staff is great!

amazing, very thorough. he is head of the department. ny methodist is great too. my sister recommended me to him, and then i recommeded a friend. we're all successful. my sis got rny over 10 yrs ago. still works. and im just about 2 years out...ready for the world! i would definitely recommend him.

As long as ur moving. I hope that the surgery helps to alleviate your spinal issues. Thank you. I'm always a work in progress. My fat gene is always tryna creep up. But it keeps me focused. I'm not going back! Sure you can add me. No problem!

I have to squat for the rest of my life. I didn't have an ass then, and I sure don't have one now lol

I dunno about aaaaanyone else...I still get hungry. I just know how to deal with it. And I will always love food. I just changed my relationship with it. Just a bit. Some things do change after surgery. I couldn't stand to eat rice. I couldn't drink cold water. But now I'm back. I can't eat too much sugar or certain processed foods. Makes me feel sluggish. You will learn what works for you in order to be successful. Best of luck today and on the big day!

Holy moly donut shop! 13 lbs! U go girl! Yea it's been good this far, but I do understand the "never ever again" sentiment! Took me a good while to go through with it!

not necessarily...im not even thirty, and my tits were nice and firm before surgery. and i've got good genes too...i guess i was bigger than i thought and im down to about my hs size. and i can only call them my ol' bitty bags. i hope children will firm them up, but if not, im def going for a lift around 40 yrs old. even tho my bf says i should lift them naturally...i dont think he gets it. lol

lmao this cracked me up!

haha! right?! me too!

they sure will! i make the best of it. lol got my nips pierced

Hi! i dont live in the city, but im from queens. how are u?! i had my surgery July 2013 by dr. gorecki at ny methodist in park slope, brooklyn. what about you?!

lawd! dont rush it. it will come! TRUST ME! at first it may be irregular. your body is getting back to normal. but it will come back with a vengeance! lol just kidding. you'll be ok

???? OMG! 63?! You look like you're in ur late 30s early 40s! I take that back...you look amazeballs!!! Even more inspiration! WOW! ????????

thanks! yea pretty much..i'm able to achieve muscle growth, i can see it and feel it in my legs and arms. im and apple shape. so most of my body fat hangs around my torso. i have to do a lot of cardio. i think im scared to look too thin. and so i havent kept up with my cardio routine.HIIT cardio is best for fat loss along with diet. I loosely track my macros in addition to my calories but for the folks who really do follow their macros, I've seen some amazing transformations. You can google IIFYM calculator to calculate your levels. I would also keep hitting the weights as well to provide shape and definition to your body as you shed fat. Keep us posted on your progress. Great job so far! Can you even believe you have to worry about looking too thin!!! ???? I will definitely look deeper into HIIT. I don't dig too deep into tracking macros and all of that because I don't want to drive myself crazy. I'm bad enough when it comes to calories. I might give it a try if it doesn't seem like too much. It is absolutely crazy to think about looking too thin! Who would've thought. I will definitely keep you posted. And you look great by the way! Thanks for the encouragement ????

Thank u! ????

it is definitely a challenge. i cant even tell you my bra size. they fit different. and always seem to fall out when i bend over. ive just gotten used to it, and chalked it up to the territory.
