Ok. Even tho I don't feel I've lost enough to tell much and am losing so slowly ( nothing for over two wks now). I decided to go ahead and post pics. Big thing for me cuz I hate my pic taken. Anyways. Sw 270 surgery date 4/4/13 current wt 215. Hoping this works never uploaded pics before....tried to fix but they all ended up on here... Sorry. Top two before surgery, next two 5/13,next two 7/13 bottom three 9/13.

I still enjoy cooking and eating. Just eat so much less now. Love it!

Sooo funny! Lol.

Mine does this too and I wondered if it happened to others. Especially when I first lay down at bedtime. Sounds loud to me and usually makes me smile cuz I remember the reason for it is my decision to change. :-)

I made myself one using flat out light ( found by the tortillas) topped with some sauce parm onion turkey pepperoni and mozz. One made four servings for me and gave me my pizza fix

Hi I'm in Stephenville tx. Was sleeved4/4/13

Yes. I was there too. I found myself resentful that everyone else could eat. Had a fair share of pity parties with me as only guest. But it DID get better. I'm 5 months out now down 55 lbs and no longer am envious of them lol. Hang in there and drink ur shake while u cook. It helps.

Same crap here! They were billed over 75000 when I was quoted 8-10 thousand. Also keep receiving bills even tho supposedly my out of pocket yearly max is 3000. I call BS***

So gonna find that brush! I'm losing my hair at an alarming rate.... Like freak out rate! I'm taking the biotin also for two months now and I get my protein in most days. Here's hoping!!

Another former diet-coke -aholic here too. I started about 4 months before surgery weaning myself off them so that a month prior I was not drinking any. Mio energy also was my bestie thru that. Unfortunately for me post- op I can't stand the taste of the sweeteners. They taste so bitter to me now. Soooo. I drink only ice water( figi or evian for some reason r the ones I like now). Occasionally I still think about diet coke with that first love feeling..... But I know I'm better off without it.

Made this for lunch today. It was awesome! 1/4flatout light wrap 1wedge laughing cow cheese garlic herb 1tsp red pepper hummus 1 slice hillshire farms deli thin pepper turkey 1 slice hillshire farms deli thin ham Few drops of Dijon mustard Small amt of sliced onion and salad mix with tomatoes Like three drops of ff Italian dressing on top of lettuce Layer all and roll up. I slice so it's easier to eat. On the side is 1 tablespoon hummus and 5 whole grain pita chips( which I prob won't be able to eat all but sure looks nice on plate) Put wrap into my lose it wrap and got these stats Cal 112 Fat 3.9 Carb 8.6 Protein 11.8 I will cut the whole wrap in fourths and make four so I can wrap three and put in fridge for a quick meal or even snack.

Oh. And where I'm at in Texas is a relatively small town. So wont have to wait more than 15 min when the time comes. Sweet !

Can't wait to get a new pic! Here they made me rake my glasses off(first time they've done that) which I've worn glasses since second grade.... Quite a spell ago lol. So not only am I my heaviest(270) since I'm pretty much blind without my specs I look freaked out and...... Crinkling :-(

I use the lose it app. I found it easy to use and love that I can scan barcodes to input the info. Also love I can input recipes and get total stats too. I can customize the nutrients I want to keep track of too. And see at a glance where I stand protein wise.

What an awesome moment!! Congrats to u! Can't wait to have that moment myself!

Thanks! It took some deep breaths and ill admit to several poor me moments and thoughts but I've put it away One day at a time I can and will do this.

Well this morning I got gut-checked by my grandson. I was babysitting this morning and was letting him and his little brother draw and color. Logan's 6 and Luke is 3. Anyway they r drawing away and Logan says "I'm gonna draw u grandma". Then he says. "I'm gonna make you fat ,cuz ur fat". I. Just smiled and said"ok baby". But inside I sure felt like someone kicked me in the gut. I know I've still a way to go, but with 55 lbs down I had just convinced myself that you could see a difference. I know he's only 6 but I also know he was just calling it like he sees it. I'm not upset with him just myself for letting my guard down. I've keep it up for most of my adult life and never let the hurt feelings show when the comments or glances came my way. Hopefully I will continue to lose and by next year be at or near my goal. I know.... This too shall pass As long as I let it. Starting wt 270 Current wt. 215 Surgery date. 4/4/13

Two counting the scope procedure. Five months out seen him twice post- op not counting the three times in hospital

I've lost a small bale of hay and a can of crisco! Huh..., weird to put a visual to it.

When is ur surgery?
