Hi I am not sure if I have been added to the Facebook group but I would really like to be my name is Sandra Redd on Facebook I am with my dad and I am really young in the picture hair is kinda a mess and we r black. Please add me surgery was Nov 29 I started at 278 now 192 from size 24 to size 16 have some amazing receipe I would like to share

Did some physical therapy exercises, and some partial sit ups. Tomorrow I start pool therapy.

I think we need to start saying in the pre op threads to remember that WLS doesn't make your body perfect. You are still going to dislike certain parts of your body. In fact I bet if you ask a size 2 woman what she dislikes about her body she can still come up with ten answers. Whenever I start to feel those negative body thoughts creep into my head I force myself to remember the woman who had the confidence to not only appear in public in a bathing suit before WLS but who had the courage to say enough is enough and get the surgery done. stretch marks are evidence of earning my tiger stripes and they are not bat wings, they are angel wings. Lord knows with being overweight and having surgery I ve been through the jungle and through hell and made my way out.

i took a bite of my husbands cheesecake last night and had a lolly pop at my sons baseball game yesterday.... No problems with anything so far, wish I did so I would not eat the sugar on occasion....

Had an angus steak egg and cheese wake up wrap for lunch....well, half of one. Not great, but we were on the road and it was the best thing there that I could have. For dinner, corned beef and cabbage!

Hi Crystal. I'd like to join...

I'm about 4 months post op Gastric bypass surgery. I had the surgery because I was maxed out on blood pressure meds and it still was not controlled. Since then, I've lost around 60 pounds and have been able to discontinue two of my six meds and reduce the dosage of another. My blood pressure readings were looking pretty good and I was hopeful that I'd soon get off of the rest of my meds. During the last week or so, my BP has suddenly gone back up to the higher numbers and I'm so discouraged because I'm feeling like I went through the surgery and all the post-op adjustments only to be back to where I was before I started this journey! I'm supposed to see my doctor next week and feel like I'll never get to the point that I don't have to take medications. I might add that I'm working out with a personal trainer at a gym 3-4 times every week. Anyone else with BP issues have any insight or encouraging words for me? Thanks!

I am from Mississauga I had surgery November 17 2012 starting weight 346 and current weight 180 my goal is 145. I am finding it so hard to lose the rest. Any suggestions?

I see this all the time. I always say, until I am at my healthy BMI, and then I remind them that no matter what I do, someone will have an opinion.
I have a friend who has lost all her weight, and I saw someone actually have the nerve to say "you look like a skeleton" on her newest Facebook picture. REALLY? She just said something like "well, people complained when i was too big, now they complain when I'm too small. really?" That shut them up really quick.
People are always going to have their own opinions.
