Good luck!! I know you can do it!! I will be praying for you that all goes well. Congrats on a new beginning.

You look great!! Love the hand on the hip! Very sassy. Maybe your picture will inspire me to post a pic one day in place of my "G" . Right now I don't feel worthy!! J/K. You should be so proud of those pictures and all you have accomplished and all you have been through. Amazing.

You look amazing!!! What an inspiration to all of us in our early post-op stage. . Thanks for sharing!!

Honestly I think you have done great. Not only with your weight loss success, but with your one on one advice with other people. That truly means a lot to other people when you take the time to help them and give your to cents. Um, not sure if you've noticed but people look up to you around here. So maybe people want to "One Up" you around here, they don't stand a chance!!! Your the whole package baby! Don't let ignorance bring you down. I've told you before I can't wait to walk a day in your shoes, except I will have lots of cellulite, and well some veins, and well the list goes on!! Lol

yYou look awesome!!!

Size 12? Oh you might of started smaller than me! I started as a size 20/22 and one pair of pants was a 24 also (yikes) pant.. I wear an average of an 8 juniors jeans now Girl you might disappear in a year! Haha disappear, not. I started my journey on 7/29 at 250lb! I am 5'5. I thought I was 5'5 1/2 LOSER!! Anyway day of surgery 216 and today 200. I tried on an old pair of Eddie Bauer jeans (Yuck) and they were a size 12!! They fit but were a tad bit snug. It's ok. I hate those jeans anyway. Good excuse to buy new ones.

You're a November girl right? I was a November girl last year .. It took me a year to get to this point. Just think this time next year, you will be right where I'm at. Trust me, this year has flown by too! Yes, Nov 1st!! Thanks for the encouraging words. For now I will lay on the bed and suck in my gut and wait for my size 12 jeans to fit nicely!

Lol I had to go look because my ticker is missing in action here.. I'm 14 pounds away from goal That's awesome!!! Congrats!! Right now to me that seems like a dream.....

BTW you look pretty darn good by you pic!! You really don't look like you need to lose any more weight. Do you mind me asking how far are you from goal??

Oh no sorry guys I was just letting anyone out there know!! I am so far from goal it's not funny. 2wks post op!! Can't wait to be a size 8

Love Miss Me jeans, but if you want a classier look without being bedazzled try Rock Revival jeans. Super cute, kinda pricey. I would wait till your done losing weight to buy those jeans!!!!

You have my sympathy!! I don't wish anyone to have hair loss of any kind. I understand it may happen to us that have this surgery but it doesn't make it any easier to actually see it when it does happen. I am 2 weeks post-op and I am not looking forward to having hair loss but I know it is a real possibility. Good luck!!!

I am having the same problem. I even tried logging in and out with no success. This is getting real frustrating.

I'm having the same problem!! I can't see your post unless I look at my e-mail. This is such a mess!!! ;(

AGREED!! Can't stand this! It's more work thanks it's worth!!Ops more work than it's worth!! BTW I hope your doing well!

AGREED!! Can't stand this! It's more work thanks it's worth!!

Hi, I'm I'm on the other side and I have to tell you it's causing a lot of problems!!! I have lost most of my past conversations with people and threads that I have subscribed to do not let me open the next page, it just gives me an error message! This is a bummer as I really enjoyed the site the way it was before. Now it seems to be more work then it's worth!

You should be so proud of your weight loss!! I read some of your posts and I am so sorry you having a hard time!!! Although I am getting through this fine, I can relate to all of your thoughts because I have the same ones, for some reason they just haven't gotten to me yet!! You will get thru this hopefully sooner than later. We are all here for you. Good luck

So the meatball and red sauce... You can get that to the consistency of applesauce?? I cannot wait till Friday!!! Thanks so much for the ideas!! Anymore??

Thanks for the help it's a start I appreciate it. My doctors office gave me like 10 recipes and I know there is a recipe forum here so I know I will get through it, it's only 2 wks...

So do you have any good recipes for us that are puréed ?? Btw good job on the weight loss!! I have not sampled any food as I do not want any complications. I am playing it by the book. I have been blessed so far I am not about to blow it!!

Wow you lost 19 lbs in 9 days that is awesome!!! Good for you. I have lost 8 lbs and I had surgery on Nov 1st!! Maybe you should stick to your liquids a little while longer jk! Sounds like we are doing about the same we are very fortunate. I hate it when I hear that others are having troubles because I know that could have been me!
