Another thing I always have on hand are the individual packs of tuna. They're in a foil envelope so you can keep them in your purse

That's why I love it here... I doesn't matter the circumstances or your walk of life, we're all in the same boat and we're all here to support each other. You got this. . Now go rock your sleeve!

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Thanks for the info! I'm lol because I'm only an hour or so from Sacramento. .. pretty good stores

11 weeks post op tomorrow 48.2 lbs lost total [ATTACH]39777[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39779[/ATTACH]

Well... I didn't do Zumba today but I cleaned my teenagers room for 3 hours and had a good cry. Does that count?

11 weeks out and my stomach is hilariously and embarrassingly LOUD a lot of the time. All you can do is laugh about it.

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations

I had my mom which was amazing but after the third day of her not letting me do anything I kicked her out! Lol... I was very lucky to have such great support

Omg!!! You look stunning! How much have you lost?

You ladies all look totally amazing! Have you all had plastics? I have lost 48.2lbs and had an event to go to the other night that I really wanted to wear a dress to. I haven't worn a dress in years. I tried on several and some of them looked really great except for the tummy area. Just couldn't do it. I wore black slacks and a pretty red top and I felt great but I was disappointed that I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear a dress.

One night

Hey all October buddies! Glad to see everyone doing so great! I was sleeved 10/21 down 48.2 lbs and feel pretty for the first time in YEARS! yay us!

Surgery 10/21.. down 48.2 from HW. Finally starting to feel normal (almost)! My husband and I went out the other night and for the first time in years I felt pretty. What a great nsv! You should stop by my salon sometime (SeelaDavid Salon) for a yay us, we did it! Hug.. lol

I'm not so sure going back to a post op liquid diet is such a good idea that far out. Check in the vets forum for 5:2 diet. Even if you don't go that rout you will get lots of good advice and support from the vets. <3

The first few days they say sip sip sip. What a joke! It's more like barely dipped your upper lip into the water = sip. Gets better (for most of us) pretty quickly though

Great! How are you doing?

I agree and disagree with the above posters. I do recommend this surgery but only if you do your research and understand all the risks first. And I certainly feel more confident now that ive lost 48lbs. As for waiting until your older and fatter with more health problems? Um.. what? I wish I could turn back the clock and do this ten years ago BEFORE I got old, fatter and unhealthy. If you're informed, and you feel you've tried to loose weight unsuccessfully through other means then I say go for it. Barring any unforseen difficulties you are young and should bounce back easily. Hopefully this will set you up for a lifetime of good habits instead of a lifetime of yoyo dieting and unhealthy weight fluctuating. Best of luck to you

Since I went back to work I haven't excersised until last week. Im 11 weeks out and have lost 48.2lbs. Im 5'5" started at 250 now 201.2 and holding. .

I would ask your doctor to write you out a specific schedule. Let them figure it out

You look so sassy and cute! Congratulations

I have been so good... I eat really clean and choose my foods carefully due to struggling to get in even 800 calories. But in the last 3 days ive eaten a bag of dark chocolate covered almonds, a bag of cinnamon glazed almonds, two been burritos from taco bell and two slices of pizza!! I don't know what happened to me? Just out of the blue! I've been doing soooooooo great it's like im sabotaging myself. .. but I dont want to sabotage myself. I feel like I fell off a ledge or like I pushed myself off and im terrified.

You are an amazing inspiration. . Thank you for sharing your progress and congratulations

I felt like that until about 8-9 weeks when I finally was able to get enough water. I still struggle with staying hydrated enough alot though. But... I just went to a local tea bar (Starbucks for tea) and bought some super delicious herbal teas (my favorite is Orange ginger mint- yum!) And maybe it's the ginger but omg I feel so much better and I can easily drink a lot of it
