Melsauve

I have been buying from them too:-). I love being able to wear there stuff!!!

I understand how your feeling. You work so hard and want others to see your progress. I started at a size 22 so I practically lived at Lane Bryant. So now that I'm a size 8/10 I'm excited I no longer can shop there. I've been struggling to find a bathing suit I feel comfortable in sense I'm still self conscious. So my fiancé said well why don't you go to Lane Bryant and see what they have. Well I was so annoyed with him. I said I can't wear anything in there anymore and he just didnt get it. I felt like he should of known I was to small for that store but he was just trying to help. I don't think he was implying I was big but he knew before that I always could find something there to fit me. So even now I'm still unsure if myself and need time to process how things fit and my comfort level.

Sounds like your doing well! But with out jusgibg i would try to keep your guidlines in mind. My fiancé is in the Navy hopefully once we are married he will go back active and we will move to VA. A little nervous to be a military wife but excited at the same time:-). How long have you been in the army?

I found in the beginning I stuck to It all with only minor complaints. Now that I'm seven months out I find it hard to always do the right thing. I obviously don't eat a lot but I don't always make the smartest choices. It's hard being a mom, wife work a job and then take time for yourself to eat healthy and exercise. Not to mention I'm also planning a wedding on top of all that. Everyday is a battle some days better then others. I try not to get mad at myself and just take each day at a time. Everyday I have good intentions if I'm successful then I try to use it to work towards the next day. If I don't do so well then I try really hard not to beat myself up for it and work towards a better day tomorrow. I know it's a choice I made and I have to live with it for life and I'm glad I made it. It's just somedays are easier then others.

Welcome:-) and I'm so glad you felt comfortable enough to speak up. It sounds like you are ready this time. Stay strong we are all here for you:-)

I also have done that when I've eaten something that didnt agree with me. I would rather throw it up then sit in agony for an hour. Don't feel bad it's ok:-)

I love my Bariatric fusion they have everything all mixed in 2 chewables I take two times a day. I hated taking the multi vitamins and calciums. I got a months supply from the Dr but you can also order them on line.

I've never tried it but I've heard about it. I'm 7 months out and could use something to get me back into things.

Good luck:-)

Every dr is different they specifically said don't use the gummy ones.

it's called the empire plan blue cross blue shield. One small perk for working for the state of NY otherwise not so great lol.

It depends on your insurance. I got mine based on my BMI but they also said I had an easy insurance to deal with. All I had to do was meet once with a psychiatrist and a nutritionist. After that it was just basic clearance from my family dr then pre-testing at the hospital. It was almost too easy to get the surgery.

I get dizzy and light headed all the time. I notice it more when I forget to drink and if I neglect my vitamins. I asked my Dr about it and he just said make sure I'm drinking enough through out the day.

The pain by your ribs is gas. You can take gas x to help with that. Make sure you see taking short walks it will help get rid of the gas and will help. How are you feeling otherwise? I'm so happy for you and that you made the decision for your self to have the better life you deserve:-). You know we are here for you:-).

They gave it to me in the hospital and it did help me.

I'm from Syracuse NY

I love your confidence:-). You are beautiful! I'm sure you will do well! Good luck!!

At this point I'm an open book so feel free to ask. I was wearing jeans between 20/22. Now I'm wearing size 10! I wear size medium shirts and I've even been shopping at victoria secret lately and can wear a medium in there underwear.

My Dr said he figured I would get down to 150. Well I'm 156 so I think he did a pretty good job if estimating that one lol. I hope to keep losing but I pretty happy where I am at now:)

I'm 5'3 I'm short lol.

You will have so much fun you won't care about the scale:-)
