Please post pictures. .. how thick are they, what kind of apples do you use? Can I eat this 6 weeks out? I want to poo too!

Cereal.. yum.. can't go there

I'm 6 weeks out today. Getting all my fluids in is still a full time job that I often fall short of. Mornings.. greek yogurt, scrambled egg, oatmeal or shake in hot Water Water water water lunch.. tuna or chicken salad, or turkey deli meat with green Beans or some other Protein Water water water dinner.. Turkey chilli w cheese, chicken w veggies, string cheese, tomatoe Soup w cheese, lean ground beef w sauce and cheese or something high in protein w veggie Snacks... string cheese, protein shake, beef jerkey, broth w plain unjury, PB2 (yum), Water water water

Woo-hoo! What an awesome feeling. . Isn't it nice to be looking and feeling great at the holidays when everyone wants to take your picture?

Good for you! Keep up the good work

Ohhhh.. me too!

Not a table with chairs, but a tiny stationery booth like a normal person. I'm down to a 16 but I was still nervous when I went to sit. Then I just felt normal. Cool

To exercise as a regular part of my routine! It's just so hard for me because I'm on my feet all day at work but now that I'm losing weight my feet don't hurt so much all the time!

I know exactly what I did wrong... and yet I have no regrets! My 16 year old daughter has her first job at popeyes and I ate fried food for the first time. Up till now I have been carefull but have had no restrictions whatsoever. I'm now terrified of any thing fried so hopefully that will be enough to keep me away from it forever! I still feel like crap! Yay! Geesh.. I'm really weird! Lol... I threw up three times so I'm pretty sure I got it all out and it was within 5 min. Of eating. I think ill log what I ate at 0 portion size and make a note. Thanks

I will be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I get between 500-800 calories a day

So.. if you eat dinner then go straight home and puke it up do you still log it in mfp??

I list 3 lbs between thanksgiving and today!

Thanks all!... its weird that I can't really see the difference until I put the pictures side by side

I posted 218 on wed but I woke up Thursday morning at 216. Can I change my starting weight? No point doing this if not completely honest with myself!

Thank you.. I'm feeling less like a bowling ball every day!

I have met a couple of people that had the sleeve and re gained. But I sure as hell haven't gone though all this just to do it again!

You are completely adorable!

Look! I do have a neck!

So.. here is a picture from my fattest summer ever.. and one from two weeks ago... [ATTACH]37927[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37928[/ATTACH]

I'm crying as I read your story. And although I'm sure your grown up mind knows that you said and did nothing wrong, nothing that every other sibling does on a regular basis, I can't imagine the burden of guilt you have carried with you. Your sister knows you love her and you know she had a greater purpose. Your message is a powerful one that I will keep with me always. My prayers are with your family

Omg I'm sooo happy for you! I'm still early out ( not quite 6 weeks) and in a regular size 16 down from an 18/20. I just bought a pair of jeans in the normal section. It was amazing! !

Very nicely said

I too have been very open about my surgery and I have no problem telling someone to look into it. But it's just that. Look into it. I also tell people that I researched it for two years and did carefull research on my surgeons and hospital because it is major surgery and I wanted to minimize the risks as much as possible. I let them know that pre and post op is extremely difficult but in order to avoid unnecessary complications I didn't cheat at all. And I let them know that I didn't let anyone, not even the surgeon sway me into having a surgery I didn't want to have it sooner than I was ready. If someone chooses to pick a surgeon because they "know" them, or because it worked for you and they don't truly do their own research and make informed choices then sorry to say but that's on them. And sometimes they do everything right and still have trouble. Things happen the way they are supposed to whether we do it all right or not. I don't feel lucky because I didn't have any complications. I was well informed, I chose the best surgeons and one of the best hospitals in the country. I followed my plan to the letter and I prayed. I was confident that I was in good hands. So yes, I would definitely recommend this surgery but with a couple of asterisks after my recommendation.

Your probably right! Lol... right now I wish my low blood sugar would make me see a clean house and quiet well behaved children who clean their rooms. Wishfull thinking!

I totally agree... these days I am absolutely the most boring person that I know. I don't drink.. I don't do drugs.. I don't smoke.. I hardly eat.. hmmmm...
