You are gonna have to change your name to HOTgirl.....you look amazing!

Thanks....like I said I know I'm being crazy complaining about 3 lbs a week.....I would have been overjoyed to lose at that rate before surgery.

Me too....still find myself going straight to the sizes in the stores I wore 98 lbs ago!!!

You've lost over half....woohoo....that's something to be excited about!!!!

I always add a full scoop to a carton of yogurt then split into two servings.....prefer vanilla powder in vanilla yogurt with some fruit added...blueberries are my fav.

Smile...darn auto correct

Mami.....a week like that would sure put a and on my face!!!

The pretzels snacks are horrible....the flavoring or something is way off. I opened them while we were out yesterday and immediately yelled for my husband to pull over....I had to spit it out and clean my mouth out with water. The cereal ones are good though.

Excuse me for just letting this fly outta my mouth but I got some fage regular....added some splenda, vanilla & strawberry preserves and it tastes like ass. Steer clear of this horrible stuff....or either stear your car into my driveway and ill send you home with some.

Gap too?? I knew old navy did but not gap....however I'm looking forward to the near future not even needingplus sizes...however wish i would have known that about gap several months ago.

This has been the absolute hardest and most rewarding (other than having my babies) thing ever in my life. One person that I work with made a comment about me taking the easy way out when I was preop....I let it out on her and asked her what the heck her definition of easy was....she kept saying I should just do weight watchers which I had done before....this really pissed me off because watched her lose and gain for the past 5 yrs on And off of WW. she apologized a day or 2 later and now that I'm 3+ months out she completely sees how 'easy' this has been for me..my whole life has changed.....wouldn't change it for anything! Don't worry about the people that don't get it...we are here for ya!

Congrats to you....whatever it is you are doing sure has been working for you!

Frank seriously?!?! I've heard of people that never seem to experience hunger again and I hope everyday that I will be one of this people. My surgery was 7/20/12 and I've not felt hunger at all at this point....have to eat by a schedule or else I'd never eat. Lucky you! How much did you lose and hows everything going now?

I hot some fage brand Greek yogurt tonight....didn't notice til I hot home I got the plain not vanilla.....will it make this better if I add some sugar free strawberry preserves?? Hope so...I bought several.

I was told no caffeine because its a stimulant and will stimulate hunger and its a diuretic.

My surgeon and nutritionist say no caffeine ever.

You can still do decaf... that's all I will touch now. And I've found several of the yummy flavored k cups on decaf.

When you feel up to it....different amounts of time for everyone.

Is it eating the wrong foods? Soda? Pouch stretching? Everyone I know personally that's had the surgery hasten successful long term but you always hear about people gaining it back. I want to be sure that doesn't happen...so keep wondering what happens with those that regain? My surgery was the RNY with Fobi pouch which from what I understood means there is a band on my stoma that will prevent my pouch from being able to stretch. I would love to hear others input on this and have others ad the fobi pouch? It was an option my surgeon offers and I went with it.

Bought a few of these today....tell me if I'm wrong but I think the nutrition info looks ok on these...and there's actually protein in it. I had been looking for something different.

I'm 14 weeks out and over the last 3-4 weeks my losing has really slowed down....is this normal? Still doing all that I've been doing even increasing protein. I know I shouldn't be complaining....still losing about 3.3/week but I was averaging 5.5/week. How long should the "rapid loss" last?

You were beautiful before.....absolutely fabulous now!!!
