Thanks. U will. I didn't think I would either. Follow the plan and it ll happen.

I'd call the nutritionist but I have heard of people for back to all liquids for a week to jump start loss.

I am 11 months out and would like to share my before and after pic and my journey so far pic. Please share your before and afters as well.

Thanks guys. Always good to hear positive things!

SW 289 CW 185 GW 150 Surgery date was 10/25/12

Thanks ladies! Best part is not having to worry about size related things like will I fit in that seat or booth or do I meet the weight requirement for the water slide?! Now I can just live

Slept in a double bed with my hubby and didn't feel like I was gonna fall out!

Yes that happened to me. Take some pepto! It will go away. It's probably extreme gas pains.

Yes! But now 8 months out I feel great. Hang in there, it does get better. The combination of nausea, pain, hunger, tiredness, and stress is enough to drive a person over the edge but it is going to get better. Somewhere around 6 months you will begin to feel a new normal. The first month is the worst I assure you.

SW 289 CW 185 I still drink wine!

I guess I probably get asked this more because I have had so many complications.

I get asked this question all the time. Yesterday I went to the endocrinologist and the medical assistant weighed me and I weighed 195. She looked at my chart and noticed I ve lost a considerable amount and asked me if the surgery was worth it. I try and be polite and I know people are just curious but sigh I get asked this question from my mom to the mail man. Everyone who knows wants to know if it was worth it. Truth is my journey isn't over with I don't know yet, it's only been 6 months. So what do you guys say? Are you asked this too?

I just downloaded I love it by icona pop to add to my list but if ur more of a country gal than u may like raise hell by Brandi carlile

Did my first 5k before I ever had surgery at 289lbs. Walked the whole thing and came in dead last but I did it with my best friend who had won it the year before but he walked it with me instead. This year we are planning on doing the Run for your lives zombie 5k but as zombies, lol. Also the run or dye which is similar to the color race. It wasn't a weird thing coming in last, I was proud of myself for even trying. So for these next two I am keeping the same attitude.
