Congrats to you all! Im also at my lowest I have been in years at 235lbs. I've been at a stall now for like a month... :-( saw my dr yesterday, going to. Be having a CT of my abdomen because I been having a lot of issues with my stomach and they want to be sure nothing is going on in there... Ahh anyways hope everyone is doing good. Still in a size 18 pants and a XL to 1XL shirts. Dwn from a size 24 and 3-4xl shirts... I've lost over 100lbs from my highest weight. And about 70lbs since surgery... 4months post op it's crazy thinkin this way. Hoping by February I'll be dwn another 30-40lbs fingers crossed anyways lol how's everyone feeling?

Thank you :-)

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing good. I'm dwn to 236 lbs STILL! Been on a stall for couple weeks. But hope to break it soon. That is 100lbs loss since August 2012 and since surgery I think about 66lbs (day of surgery I weighed 302lbs) hope everyone doing good. Aunt Flo decided to show up today and I'm dying, I been feelin really bad the last week wasn't sure why but thinkin it's cause she was gna visit! Anyways hope all you's doing good! Here's some comparison pics I'm sure you can see the difference all black is day of surgery and the one of pink top is comparing them together :-)

Hey all how's everyone doing? So here's how I'm doin... Got blood work back and everything is good :-) only Vitamin D is low so have to be on Vitamin D3 indefinitely... But that's no problem ! Blood work in January :-) now as for weight.

SD 8-6-2013: 302lbs HW: 336lbs CW: 236lbs

I'm so happy !! I'm officially down 100lbs from HW and I am down 66lbs since surgery. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, I need to start exercising more tho I haven't been doing enough... But I'm happy for my weight loss thus far :-) I am in a 16-18 pants (some 20s just cause sized weird) and in XL to 1x shirt sooo nice to feel this way! Can't wait to drop some more:-) how you all!

Hope all is well with you all I can't even open the app on my iPhone heck to get into the web to even see the site. Anyways here's my stats:

HW: 336lbs SW 8/6/13: 302lbs CW: 246lbs

I am feeling wonderful. I have a great support system an awesome man in my life and losing inches. Hoping I can lost at least 10lbs a month from here on out so I can be down to the 150s to 160s as my goal weight! I'm already seeing difference on my body. My back rolls are down to 1 instead of having 3 on each side of my back lol my thighs have gotten way smaller bit they are still frwaking huge lol and lost almost all my boobies!! I'm feeling really insecure about these :-/ my stomach has gotten smaller from a size 24/26 pants to an 18/20 and my shirts from a 2X/3X to a 1X/2X depending on the shirt... I am 10lbs shy of losing 100lbs in total and about 56lbs since surgery! I'm excited to lost about 100more lbs! Time effort and hard work will pay off!

No problem

One thing you definitely need to do is find yourself- you need to grow and develop the person you want to be. You need to make sure you have your own identity. If you can do all that with your current partner supporting you' date=' then you would be making a mistake by leaving. You need to be honest with yourself. You need do some soul searching and figure out what would make you happy with who you are. Do you want to go to college? Have a career? Get involved on a non proffit? Start a business? You can do these things whether you are married or not. None of it will be easy , it will take a lot of work, communication, and mutual support and respect. Just think long and hard about your decisions so that whatever you choose, you will have no regrets.[/quote']

Thanks so much, I actually ended up leaving my husband back in The beginning of the year. And I just started seeing someone new about a month ago he is very supportive of everything. And I left my ex because I found out he was cheating and he also said some very cruel things... Anyways thx for the advise.

I got me a 7 day med box n I still forget. Lol but I am doing better than before it. I'm happy for ur lost. I've finally been losing almost 3#a week. Dr. wanted me at 250 last week so I cancels my appt untiil this coming Monday. Lol i'm at 268. Now. I'm 2# away from losing 50# so I hope i'm at that wen.I go to the dr. i. jus don't want him fussing at me again. .

well you are doing amazing yourself and don't let the dr discourage you. I guess I got lucky my dr said that there is no specific weight I should be at, but I only see my dr every 3 months for labs for 2 yrs my dr said there are some people that don't lose anything then 3 months later lost 40+ lbs so don't be discouraged by what your doc says. I would take it with a grain of salt and keep doing what your doing!!

Kinsse I also don't take mine as I should shame on me also but just got to really work towards it!!! Anyways hope all is good with everyone. Today I weigh 250lbs!! I'm so happy my goal was to be at 250lbs by Halloween may have not made my goal by then but passed it by 2 days so not too far off... Hopefully I keep losing this way!! So happy

U need to call n set yup a appt with nut. I no Wat u mean about Protein that stuff us nasty!! But really try the core power. Its no after taste like all the rest i've tried. U take almost same vit. Only a few more per day than me. I don't take mine like I should. But I really try to eat as much meat as I can.. as you eat more it will start to grows back.

I have tried the core power chocolate and vanilla along with the light strawberry banana one. The chocolate made me throw up. :/ and so did the vanilla :/ the vanilla one tasted like melted I've cream ewww lol the only one I tolerated ok was the strawberry banana one and that was still gross :/

Oh n all these Vitamins are at Walmart.< /div>

i do have vitamins from Bariatric Advantage 3 months supply, the only problem with my Vitamin supply is it's for a gastric bypass Paitient and I had the duodenal switch which I have to take just a little more vitamins than with the RNY and I have a nut but I haven't seen her since my surgery and I saw her only as a consult before surgery that was all... I have this 100% natural organic whey Protein I got from the GNC store here it's supposed to be unflavored and that stuff let me tell you YUCK it makes stuff sweet :/ with a gross aftertaste :/ so anyways about my vitamins this is what I take Multivitamin - with A,D,E,K 2xs a day I believe calcium citrate -3xs a day 500mgs so that's 1500mgs Iron- not sure of mg on this but it's 1 a day B12 sub lingual- 1000mcgs a day (1x a day) THESE ARE ALL BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE VITAMINS I GOT. On a paper I have I should be taking the multivitamin 3 or 4 times a day the Calcium is supposed to be 2000mgs (4xs a day) B12 is good and Iron is supposed to be 2xs a day but idk the mgs and everytime I bring it up to my surgeon office they act retarded...

TBH I don't think I am. And I don't think I'm taking enough Vitamins but none of my drs are helping me with my questions I ask... They all tell me to ask eachother so surgeons office telling me to talk to my pcp and pcp is telling me to talk to my surgeon ahhh

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing a lot of Hair loss. I lost a lot of hair before surgery but OMG I'm losing by the handfuls and when I say handfuls I mean literally 2 -3 FULL handfuls in the shower and another 2-3 after when my hair is dry... is there anything I can do to help with the hair loss?

Emotional break down status... Ahhh idk if it's because I talked to a friend who annoyed the shit out of me or if my sister gets on my nerves that much or what's got me in this mood but I am emotionally drained today... I feel like screaming and punching someone in the face at the same time I feel so down and dad that I feel like crying myself to sleep (and it's only 652pm here) ahhh idk if it's cause my period is right around the corner (unless prego cause the condom broke and I'm not on birth control) or what is going on... But all I know is I haven't been this emotional since I had my surgery other than the October 4 when I had my 10wk apt with my dr. And I started my period 2 days later..... Ahhhhhh is there anything I can do to not feel this way today feels like the world is on my shoulders and idk what to do!!!!!

I feel you on that Becky I definitely have bad arms already but I'm hoping my thighs and stomach won't be bad but my thighs are huge lol I already noticed my rolls on my back are flattening tho and going away that feels great just hoping my skin doesn't hang bad when I'm dwn to my goal weight.. Which is 140lbs so I have 116lbs to go to my goal...

Hello everyone hope everyone is doing good here's my stats

HW: 332lbs SW August 6 2013: 302lbs CW: 256lbs

Feeling a lil discouraged tho because it's coming off so slow! Plus I compare myself to everyone else lol I know an older woman who had her surgery 2 weeks before me and she's dwn 110lbs since surgery I'm like OMG I wish I was down that much already lol but I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to anyone cause everyone is different.. But still can't help it... Were all human lol I'm still happy with my progress. Went from a very right 24/loose 26 to now an 18/20 and they're a little lose so I am happy for this . How's everyone doing?

you look amazing girl!

I've also get that all the time even with enough Water and food in me. Ice talked to my dr he said classic sign of dehydration but I drink like 100oz of water at least a day.... Idk what it is!!

I been the same weigh for a month only lost 5lbs almost 2months post op need help!!!!! Mz Shay

Don't be discouraged. 5 lbs is still great. I saw my surgeon a couple weeks back, and he told me to make sure I'm getting enough calories in my body, and drinking enough Fluid. He also said that there are some people that don't lose any weight at first then they come back 3 months later and lost 40+ lbs! He told me I need to get in at least 1200 calories but I also had the DUODENAL SWITCH not the gastric bypass. Are you exercising? I'd call your surgeon. Make sure you're getting in 800 to 1000 calories. Don't eat more in one meal but eat more meals over the day. So if you eat 3 times a day try to eat 5 or 6times a day. Anyways hope this helps some. I was very discouraged when I saw my surgeon cause my weight loss I thought was bad but we all have stalls. I had lost 20lbs in the first 2 weeks after surgery. It took 6 weeks before I broke that stall and lost more. Anyways don't be discouraged just keep motivated and all will work itself out hope this helps some
