Katie

lol, better now than after the TT! Congrats!!

Thank you!! It does help, I've been stressing out since I found out!

I had my surgery almost 3 years ago (January 20, 2011). I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't get pregnant for 2 year, and I suppose it was close enough? Lol. But I have a few concerns, this is my first baby and I really have no idea how my body will react? Is there any advice you can give me on what to expect? I know I'll be gaining weight..and I'm okay with it because I refuse to gain just because I'm pregnant.

Well, my plans have changed. I had a doctor lined up in June, but lost insurance shortly after that so I decided to wait until I got it again, but in the mean time my fiancé and I have been surprised with a little surprise due the end of June! So for now the Tummy Tuck is on hold. But I WISH all of you ladies luck!!! I know it's a tough surgery, but I believe it is so worth it!

Do u have a band?

If so try raw veggies. U have to chew a lot and they really fill u up. Fruits too.

And of course the Water. Or u could try the Special K Protein water.[/quote']

No, I had the roux y gastric bypass. My huge thing is just not eating meals because I get full too fast, so I won't eat lunch ill just eat a million small Snacks a day lol

I remember my doctor saying "If it doesn't grow on trees, you can't eat it everyday." But every once in awhile should totally be okay!

Awesome, thanks!

You should be okay, I don't see why it would be a bad idea. Not all the time though.

My main downfall has been the snacking. It's not always unhealthy, most times it's fruits and cheese but just grazing all day has added up the pounds. I've been watching it more recently, and when I get that urge I get a bottle of Water but I'm not sure it's helping. I still feel the need to put something in my mouth.

Okay, thank you!

Does anyone know how much Vitamin D is recommended?

Have uou tried using Shapewear? ?? I know its not the same as a Tummy Tuck but it will surely give you a tighter and flatter tummy..

Yeah, I have.. I use them now, but I'd like something more.

I'm not worried about when I have kids. I go to the gym and I eat right, I just can't get rid of my stomach from my surgery. I'm 18, kids are no where in sight in my future. I'm tired of not being totally confident because of my stomach.

Thanks Katie!!...and that is great! How much have you lost?

You're welcome!! I've lost about 100 lbs. I've gained some of it back, but I'm working on it!

Hi everyone! Im 22' date=' surgery is set for January 31st!! Im getting nervous and excited as the date gets closer![/quote']

Don't be nervous!!! You'll do wonderful! My 2 year anniversary is the 20th! Crazy!

Anyone wanna add me on Fb? I need more Gastric Bypass friends! =]

Today is day one of eating better! Wish me luck lol I definitely need it! Also first day back to school....grrr.

Omg today was real bad cuz I decided to swim laps well guess what happen to be to big on me...I was so afraid of my swim suit falling and people would see...lol good news it didnt but I only swam for 20 mins...lol

Aw! Lol I'm proud of you!!!

These past few months I’ve been trying to get motivated to start working out again, yet I’ve been putting it off. Well tonight I’ve decided that I want to lose 80 pounds which will bring me to about 110. My goal weight has been 160, but that’s just not enough anymore. So it’s time for me to get a routine down and get my crap together. And no, this is not a New Years resolution, though it might help lol. So I'm in need of workouts, routines that have worked for you guys and lots of inspirational stories! I'm almost two years out, and I'm ready to get to get where I want to be. I never had a set goal weight until tonight!!

Your now 100% sure of the Tummy Tuck?

I want it, I'm just not sure when.

Thanks everyone! I talked to my doctor and she wants me to really think about it and then talk to her again in October at my next appointment. My tummy is the biggest part I want to work on.

Hey' date=' anytime. Another good thing, you can set a special password on your account, and when you visit your dietician/nutritionist, they can log on and view your log and help you with anything or make suggestions.[/quote']

I just downloaded it this morning, logged my Breakfast and everything. Very cool! does anyone know how many calories we should have per meal?

Awesome! Thanks!!

Is it fairly easy? I'm a little slow, so easier the better lol

I wanted to start tracking everything...any apps that anyone would reccomend?
