347 Last week 351 4 lbs. 128 lost

For school I make little deli wraps. Its turkey breast with provalone cheese and laughing cow in the center. Super yummy with around 15-20 protein. Depending on the turkey size. Really conveniant for on the go.

I recently got a new job, I'm making 15.00/hr as a manager at a fast food joint. It's a pretty physically demanding job, and I can't imagine doing this at my starting weight. It's pretty crazy.

The first few months after surgery I went swimming for a couple hours 4-5 times a week. Now, I have gotten a trainer at my local fitness center and it's been really helpful. I still work out 4-5 times a week, although there were a few weeks where I fell off that bandwagon, but I'm back on now. I do cardio three times a week, and strength training three times a week, I double up on Wednesdays.

I am a size 20 for the first time I can remember. And I had a date tonight and was on top during acrivities. And didn't have a nervious breakdown about it.

It will be here sooner than you expect. I went in thinking I was a 24. And my best friend picked a buch of stuff for me to try on. She didn't tell me the size when I tried it on I was pleasently surprised. Then she grumbled that I was only one size away from here and that her closet was off limits. Lol

I was a size 28+. I can't wait to be in the teens.

Ross! Only 11.99!!

Todays weight 350 Starting weight 474 124lb down. Surgery date 4/25/2013

121 lbs gone. I'm starting to see more and more changes...I have collar bones!

It happens to me too. I dunno what it is.

Isn't EmergenC slightly bubbly? I can't do anything that's bubbly.

I happens frequently in close knit families/friend groups when there is a dramatic change in one of the people, but not the others triggers first off Jealousy. Second, a phenomena that I've dubbed 'the fat friend constant". Families and friends rely on the fat friend to always be there to, in a since, make themselves feel better. Although no one will ever admit that they do that, but everyone does. There really isn't much you can do about the situation, except sit them down and tell them that their comments are hurting you. If you were having this problem with your friends, I would tell you to dump them, you don't need the negativity, but seeing as it's family, you can't really do that. But you can be brutally honest and tell them that you need their support, or if not their support at least their snide comments to stop. Good luck! I hope things get better for you.

I had my first drink about 2 months after my surgery, it was a glass of wine at my friend's wedding, and it was alright, I was fuzzy for about an hour, but then I peed....And all was fine. haha.

That's awesome!

355. 5 lbs this week Loss since surgery 119 Total loss 145

God yes. I hate it. I've broken chairs, beds, couches. It's awful. The most embarrassing moment happened at my family reunion, I sat down in one of those plastic lawn chairs, and the thing just collapsed, it was awful, my family looked at me and gave me the pity face. I can't wait until I can sit down and not be terrified about the chair collapsing, or laying in a friend's bed and not hear the ominous creaking. For a really long time I had reinforced my bed with cinder blocks.

I'm 4 months post-op and still have bouts of depression.

Congrats!

I was told "as soon as you feel up to it."

During purred/liquid/soft foods I was going 2-3 times a day. Now, I go once a day, if I'm lucky.
