Isn't it amazing! I just worked out for an hour.... 6 months ago my work out consisted of 4 minutes of trying to tie my shoes.

Please take some advice on this. My husband is a yr post, he is in an acceptable size and weight and thinks because he lost weight his sleep apnea is cured. It is not, its better but the fact a person has extra skin inside they throat is still there. He won't use his machine and I'm sleeping in the guest room because of the snoring and gagging he does, so please get your new sleep study done before you discontinue using it

You know, phad Thai used to be one of my favorites too. That is the only dish I would order for the most part. Never got tired of it, but felt bad that here I was eating 1 thing from a menu of 100s of different choices (figuratively speaking). After surgery, I never had phad Thai again. I probably could have, but did not want that interfering with my weight loss nor did I want food to control me anymore. Long story short, I decided to start ordering things off the Thai menu I was always a wimp about before. Now I can eat at Thai all the time and know that there are many different lower calorie options that are not noodle based. So go ahead and try different options from the menu. You might find something you never knew you had a taste for.

Update: the weight is falling off! I am 5 months post-op and down 85lbs! 14 more pounds to onederland! Praise God!!!

It is all good country girl..... This is a marathon not a sprint... Stick to your surgeon's plan, you will get there

thank you guys... I appreciate and respect your comments... its true, its sad to see a life end for any reason... but because of what ppl are going to say.... senseless... ppl are going to talk about you anyway...big or small... I hope my weight loss does encourage others... that is very important to me...

I love seeing the long term success! Congrats

I am 10 years out.. I've stayed at 150 for 10 years... If I had to do this journey all over again... I'd do it in a minute... I don't push the surgery on anyone... it is a very personal decision. I've only approached 3 women in 10 years to look into it... there complaint: I would rather do it myself... the right way... all had families all had babies... found out a couple of years ago... all three women died... all heart attacks.. this surgery is not a cure for obesity... it is not a cheat either... its a tool.. this surgery saved my life... I promise, I am a very up beat person... but I've been holding this in for such a long time... it feels sooo good just to release it...

According to my moms scale I'm down 102lbs. :-). Guess I did good on the cruise after all. Id like to lose at least 72 more lbs but would love it to be closer to 100. At any rate; in ecstatic about my progress! How's everyone else doing out there?

Just got back from vacation where I flew on four different planes and for the first time ever I didn't need a seatbelt extender!! Amazing!!

Down 133 since surgery in July

The STALL IS OVER!!! I've last 6lbs since last Friday :-). Total down; 83lbs in 4.5 months :-)).

All I remember is waking up in the recovery room and looking over and there was an old lady next to me that looked dead.... my drugs were making me pretty carefree and I remember thinking... huh, not my problem.... sounds cold but I blame the drugs

Had dinner at Morton's of Chicago tonight with hubby! No steak for me (but I had a bites if hubby's) I had crab cake. It was just nice to sit down at a very nice restaurant for the first time in a long time.

Today I put on a pair of my sisters size 22 button up jeans; no spandex no elastic waist. I could get my hand in, sideways, bw me and the waist band! I'm shocked!

November has been NSV month for me. I have been to two college football games and an NFL game with even thinking about being a tight squeeze into the seat. Tomorrow I fly out to TN and am not stressed on where I will be sitting on the flight and when I get to TN I am going to be in a tree stand that I am not too heavy for.

I bought two pairs of sweat pants in a 1x (I was a 3-4x), 2 pair if 1x bike shorts, a 48 bra (was a 52), and a 1x blouse (I was 3-4x) and the shirt is a little big :-)). Oh yeah... And a size 22 jean! I was 30/32!! Amazing!
