My surgery was Sept. 23rd. i've lost 92 pounds, but have been stalled for months. i can't blame the sleeve...it's been me, i've fallen into bad habits. im 35 away from goal. i wanted to lose them by my 1 year anniversary, but it looks like it might be by new years... we'll see.

<----- Almost seven months out does it look like I lost any? I cant tell.......

Heard at least five times in the first month post-op:
Q:"I thought you had weight loss surgery?"
A: "Yes, but they don't cut away 100 lbs of fat, just like they can't cut stupid out of you!"
And, some other favs:
Q: "How much are you going to lose? You are too skinny already."
A: "As much as I want to. Too bad I am now thinner than you and you need a new fat friend to make yourself feel better."
Q: "Are you allowed to eat that?"
A: "Are you my doctor?"

That's awesome! Congratulations!

I have wanted to jog/run for year now. One of my goals after surgery is to run in a marathon maybe a year from surgery. Today was my 6 week post op mark and I walked for about an hour and I JOGGED some of it! My kids were so shocked to see mommy running! I am amazed that I was jogging, me! I also realized today that I lost 20% of my body weight already and I am so excited to keep losing more! Dreams do come true!

ok Im back..
I confess I would love a glass of wine.
some Thai flavored wings from Buffalo Wild Wings.
A huge cigar.
a plate of homemade biscuits & gravy.
Lots of Coors light,
and yes I weigh myself several times a day.
:ph34r:

I confess that I am not exercising like I should be either...
I confess that I think about going to Cheesecake Factory and ordering
a chocolate chip cookie dough slice of cheesecake :wub:
I confess I had a fish sandwish from McDonald's last week -
I did not eat the bread tho.. like thats an excuse.
I confess I WANT A CORONA SO BAAAAAAD!!!!
I confess I could tear up a snickers right now.
Now having confessed all this.... I will not go back to where I was...I ate the fish, the rest was in my head.
I have come too far to turn back now. But I do like these confessions.
It felt good to get that off my chest.

I confess that this journey is both harder and easier than I thought it would be.
I confess that in public situations I finagle things to make it look like I've eaten more than I have.
I confess that it makes me sad that I might never be able to consume a large sandwich with big ol' slices of homemade bread again (like I need it).
I confess that I occasionally use a straw.
I confess that I haven't told anyone about my sleeve and I don't plan on it. I don't need your negativity or opinions.

I confess too that I think about food way more than I want to.
I confess that I don't exercise as much as I should.
I confess that I drink Sonic caffeinated several times a week and love every drink of it.
I confess that I weigh myself every day.......at least once.
I confess that I'm never hungry and sometimes eat Snacks because I'm craving something.
I confess I spend too much time VST when I should be doing other things.

I CONFESS THAT I:
* sometimes get irritated at the success stories here...I WANT TO POST THOSE PICS!
* am addicted to weighing myself ( after going YEARS not knowing my weight!)
* I can't wait to flaunt my new body
*

I love these confessions. I confess that I am not exercising like I need too.

hello my name is Jason and Im an alchoholic, no wait. wrong web site, yes I lust for the baconader at wendy and a giant Dr Pepper and snickers and fried fish and popcorn ect. but PEOPLE that is the food that made our jea ns tight and our t shirts tight and underwear tight and I can only speak for myself, but I refuse to go back to that.

I confess that I too, think about food way too much, but I know Im not really hungry.
I confess, because of number 1, that I am totally addicted to sunflower seeds
I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee everyday, but add Unjury unflavored to it.
I confess that since I quit smoking in December, I still think about smokes everyday. (prolly explains #2)
I confess I eat chocolate once in a while, but I think that is why I DON'T eat it everyday.
I confess that I USED to get upset about missing my old eating habits, but now Im proud of the fact that I don't give a crap about it anymore
I confess that I lie to my husband when he wants to go out to eat and I don't. I tell him I don't feel like it. The truth is, I have better things to do than to sit and watch him and the boys make 5 trips to the buffet.
I confess that I am secretly amused when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat... I just think "Keep going skinny man, one day you wont fit into that chair".
I confess that I am proud of the fact that I am forty something and getting physically fit. I make sure everyone in the house knows I just came from the gym.
I confess that I looked in the mirror way too much today, the first day I have worn size 14s.

1. I confess that I think about food way more than I should.
2. I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee on occasion
3. I confess that I have sucked on a tiny peice of chocolate and let it melt in my mouth because I'm on soft foods
4. I confes that I have cried until I can't cry anymore about how much I miss my old eating habits
5. I confess that I secretly am angry when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat....

I must confess... My husband made our toddler homemade pizza on pita bread (sauce and cheese). I don't have issues with anyone eating in front of me, but when I went to clear my sons plate, I put my tongue on a saucy cheesy part, I didn't lick, just placed my tongue on it for about 2 seconds. The cheese felt like plastic and the sauce felt metallic.
This was a day before I became a week post-op.

I'm 45lbs down and feel so much better! I started this process at 242 lbs. I lost 20 lbs during my preop diet and am down 25 lbs post op. I had a 3 to 4 week stall at 3 weeks which was so frustrating but eventually the weight started coming off again. I'm 5'8 and have finally made it to onderland!! Current weight 197. My NUT set my goal as 153 in 10 months. I don't think I've weighed that since elementary school! Can't wait to see what I'll look like! I'm sure enjoying the journey! I don't post often but often read others posts which have been so helpful! Thanks for the support!!

thanks for posting this... it cheered me up on this dreary day <3

Well, I'm onlu down 33 lbs and already my hubby says "you're still beautiful and you can stop now, I think it's enough..." Uhhh...doesn't work like that buddy!! Hah! I wasn't upset though, I know he's been worried about me all along cuz he wants what's best for me. Maybe that's what the people in your lives are doing??

I know how y'all are feeling. I am 4 months out but the weight is dropping off! I am over 75 down and 20 from goal. My husband and family says I should stop this weight loss already. They are approaching me continuously that they are concerned and I should stop it now. I am feeling healthier than I have felt in many years. I understand that the weight went quicker than I could have ever imagined. But I did not lose weight because of others. This was about me and my health. When I am approaching goal I will look into slowing or stopping and maintaining. I am just going to remind them - this is about ME!

My husband told me that I can only lose 25 more lbs. Because when I have skin removal that will take care of the other 25 lbs.
I looked at him like he had 3 heads.....First I am too fat, now he is worried about how much I am losing....Like you I will continue until my body is happy where it is, and not before.....lol
