sophiepants

I PM'd you Sophiepants, I noticed that we were sleeved around the same time and have the similar weight losses. I was wondering what you're up to these days in terms of eating patterns/habits and exercise routine. I've been pretty steady (stair-steppy but steady) but I'm definitely slowing down. It's like that elongating hallway, I'm just so close but not quite there. I'm doing really well with cardio (treadmill 75 minutes/day). I'm not as good about keeping up with my arm weights and I rarely do the other things on my "To Do" list--tricep dips and core exercises. I'm doing ok on eating. I'm not able to get 700 calories but I have managed to cut out sugar, grains and wheat. I've had a forkful of quinoa but mostly all my carbs come from vegetables.

WOW everyone is doing so great!! For me my pant size was a 20. At one time I also wore a 22 for a little bit. 5 months out I ware a size 11-12. Shirt size was 1-2x, now I'm in a Large/Medium and I still have 20-30 pounds to go.

I too am very well endowed. Worried I will loose a lot off the girls after surgery. My husband said that would be ok he guesses. We will just have to see how it goes. I wear your before sizes now and hope to have the same type progress you're having in a few months Oh ladies!!! I wish I was able to keep some of my girls! I was at heaviest at 42DDD, an F when Pregnant 3 years ago. Now sadly I have no bra's that fit and am about a 38/40 C. And I'm only 5 months out. I still have 20-30 pounds to go! I know doesn't sound to bad except they look like F'n pancakes hangin there....... It's a sad thing for me. lol I always had over sized "Girls" even when I was thin. Now I'll go cry in the corner!

I'm right there with ya chicka! No loss but thank gawd no gain!! Next week WILL be better you'll see or we'll see

170 again no loss....sniff sniff

Last night lol sat good in tummy too I'm 5 months out.

Congrats!!! That's such an amazing amount in out short 5 months! Great Job!

Dinner... Bacon Wrapped chicken Bites with Bacon Wrapped Green Beans and Sweet Chili Sauce

I have been getting bored with my lunches and seriously was thinking this morning what I was going to think up!! But you did it for me! YESSSSS.... Thank you for sharing some much needed food thought porn For me the egg plant is seeming very interesting idea to try out

Congrats!!! That's amazing!! Your hard work is paying off!

You are totally normal not crazy. The decision to have wls is very much a hard choice for most of us. You have to face a lot of things about yourself in order to get to his point. And you will probably question yourself again and wanna back out. I know most of us do. But do your research and know your facts and you will be amazed at yourself. Good luck on the next step of your journey.

Speaking for myself I chose the sleeve for that very reason. I didn't want to have a chance to have some of the issues with the band. The sleeve for me has been the best choice I ever made. I'm 5 months out and 30 pounds from goal. It's such a personal decision and one you should research for yourself. Good luck with whatever you chose

Wow lady great Job!!! I honestly didn't recognize you in the second pic! You look totally different. Your doing amazing girl! Keep doing whatever your doing because it's working for ya I just added pics to my gallery a few days ago

Great Idea! Thanks for sharing.

88 is all I could do! yikes!

Ok I'm game I'll start back off with as much as I can stand!! I'll post later on and be looking for yours!

YAY Your here!!

Misty I'm in the exact same spot! I'm all outta my next size clothes. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it either. But here's to us clothes shopping and being able to fit into clothes off the rack!

I'd strain it and then drink the liquids. Still has the taste. Check out gamergirls profile and find the link to her recipe blog she has all kinda foods for the different phases for us to eat.

Terry I did too! I got the stomach bug last week and never got back on to planking! I really like it to. I love the idea of a challenge so I feel accountable and need to check in. Thanks for hanging in there with me for a while

WOW you look fabulous! Love then white dress

At 5 months I'll eat a pickle and am fine but only if I have calories left I can spare. For the creamy soup I put unflavored protein powder in mine to get some protein in.

170 this morning! yeah baby

Supermom you look amazing!! Great job

Please keep us informed on how you are feeling and what they determine. I get dizzy all the time still at 5 months out (getting 8-10 glasses of Water a day) and 80-100 grams of Protein daily. My BP is always about the same as it used to be. I hope you are feeling better soon! Good luck lady
