@Kristy that's wonderful and u look amazing! Also, you have a beautiful daughter and she looks just like her beautiful mother!! The closest I can get is to go to the outlet malls with my 15 year old son!!! He is 5'10" tall and weighs 130lbs. He's y'all and slim with an athletic build... He loves to shop just like a girl and really likes to look good!!!

Down 6 lbs this week! CW: 150 lbs. 30lbs to goal !!!

I stalled for a month as well !!! Finally went from 156 to 150 !!!

4 baked buffalo wings... Love them!!

Hey JPrez, well it seems as tho it may be returning already : ( having all the symptoms again and migraines getting worse... So today I did something I've wanted to do for a while to lift my spirits when I'm down and to help raise awareness for a cure someday! Hope you like it as much as I do !! It's the awareness ribbon for IIH or pseudo tumor cerebri .. They just renamed it for some reason!

Went out for a date with my hubby tonight... We went to the mall an both got 2 new pair of Nike running shoes for the gym. And ten we went out for dinner at Carrabba's... Our favorite restaurant! We split a meal which was salmon, shrimp scampi and sirloin marsala... It was soooo freakin delicious!!! The best meal I have had in a very long time! I only ate a bite or so of each, but man was it tasty and set very well in my pouch!!

It will get better with time! In the beginning I couldn't tolerate plain water either but now apart 6 months post op I love plain water again! I still get waves of nausea sometimes after I eat nut it gets better each passing day!

That I amazing !!! You look fabulous and you are such an inspiration to others ! Congratulations on your weight loss !!!!

Wow !!! Maybe I'm not eating enough but I eat 3 meals a day plus 1 protein shake and I average 650-700 calories a day....... But my surgery was March 13th.... Imma ask my surgeon on the 13th what my calorie intake should be for 6 months post op

I have all you beat, lol !! I gained 24 pounds in the 3 days I was hospitalized. It took me to my 1 month post op appt. to get it all of plus 3 additional pounds. Everyone is different but it will come off eventually!

Don't compare your weight loss journey to others! Everyone has a different story and losses at different paces.

I can app relate to what you feel ! I am 5 1/2 months post op and about a month ago I went to see my sister. My mom was there as well and they both kept on praising me about the weight loss and how good I look! Then we sat down to eat. My sister had made spaghetti with a ground turkey meat sauce that was loaded with veggies. I measured out 2 1/2 oz. That's all I could eat at that point. It was only the sauce and mostly the meat and veggies. Mom mom said in front of everyone "wow, that sure is a lot of food you really should try to stick with smaller portions or you will gain all the weight back" I was so pissed off !! I couldn't believe she said that! I told her it was only 2 1/2 oz. and that my nutritionist wanted me to work up to a half cup(4oz) she rolled her eyes and sighed... My sister said to her" why are you talking to her that way? Look at how much you are eating" it really got under my skin and ever since then I have felt fat and question every meal I eat! I can't seem to get passed the insult that was obviously meant to make me feel bad! There are many "haters" who will try sooo hard to bring you down and we can't let them win !!!

I'm down to a 34D !!! But try are def deflated like flat pancakes!!! I was going to wait till 2015 to get them fixed but hubby said to do it for my 1 year post op anniversary which will be this March! I can't wait!

Thank you!!

DL, if you could email me that list I would greatly appreciate it !! Also, does anyone know where she got that broccoli soufflé ? I really want to try it !!!! Marycrosby007@yahoo.com

My stall lasted over a month!!! Then I stalled again after. I lost 6 or 7lbs. Don't worry the weight WILL come off!!! Usually when I stall I drop inches and go down a size or more!! Try not to get discouraged!

Tomato soup can have high levels of sugar as well.. I was going to try it once but noticed the Campbell's had like 16g of sugar and my nut said to stay under 10. So maybe it was too much sugar for u..

My 15 year old son can now pick me up and hold me in his arms!!! What a great feeling!!!

It makes me very happy!! I just hope to get the migraines down to zero!!! And thank you for the complement !! I feel fantastic !

Stall again... I stall then loose then stall then loose..... Come on !?? Why can't I just loose loose loose and no stall ???

Hey J, things seem to finally be looking up ! The headaches have become a lot less frequent going from every day down to maybe 2 days a week... My eyes don't hurt much anymore either! Had an appt with my Neuro and he said from looking at my eyes he could see my pulse which meant my csf pressure was normal!!! He put me on an daily pill to keep migraines at bay but thinks the ptc is going into remission from the weight loss!

Before surgery about 216lbs. At 4 months post op about 160lbs. Current weight at 4 1/2 months post op 155lbs.

Kraney, are stats are very close !! Surgery date for me was 3-13 weighing 213 on day of surgery... Current weight is 156 !!

2.8oz grilled ahi tuna steak with lemon pepper seasoning and a little evoo drizzled on top!

I had no change in period either.. I had mine 2 weeks before and it came right on time 2 weeks after, except it has gone from ovulating on day 16 to day 14 and from a 28-29 day cycle to a 26-27 day cycle... Can't really complain with that but I have always been super regular!
