    Well this is the new me. I think I've lost almost all I'm going to without surgery. I'm happy w my weight - 135. I have started the head hunger about a month ago' date=' hate it. If I dare to eat too much I definitely dump, not fun.

    Congrats all on your accomplishments and thank you for being here through all that I've went through and continue to go through in my personal life. I see no end w settling our estate w the ex. I'm totally stressed out everyday and its taking its toll on me. :-(

    You look amazing! What was your starting weight? I worry about it all. Like am I doing something wrong, is all my hair gonna fall out before this is over and why am I not losing when I really should be? Its so confusing.

    NO!!!! my surgery was may 1st two months ago today and unfortunately I've had nothing but problems. Throwing up' date=' dizziness and horrible stomach pain. My doctors are actually talking about reversing it! I've been in the hospital since may 1st and just came home Friday with a home nurse, I have a picc line that feeds me Vitamins and Protein 24hrs, guess my Protein is to low and before reversing I have to have good protein levels or I won't heal. So Yes I regret having it done and I'm sooooo jealous of Anyone that hasn't had complications, so to all of you good luck on your weight loss journey![/quote']

    I jad a lot of complications (not as severe as yours but once I got passed the 4th month I got much better! Everyone kept telling me to just give ur body time to heal and I didn't believe them cause I couldn't eat or keep anything down and I was in pain all the time but after the 4th month things started to slowly get better and now I can finally eat but on occasion I still have to lay down after I eat and rest! But I would do it again without a doubt but if you would have asked me before I would have said no way!

    I am also 6 months out and I struggle everyday! My weight goes up and down due to fluid! I work 2 jobs so it is very hars not to eat stuff that u can just grab and run with! My weight has stayed around 162-165 for over a month and that isn't helping my mind set any! Only 22lbs to my personal goal is met!! It seems far away when the scale has been on a hold for this long!

    I love the dove body wash... It makes my skin soo soft then my hubby lotions me up from head to toe twice a day!!! But I use bath and body works cream... I don't have any hanging skin except my upper arms (which is tightening some) and my saggy boobs!

    Me too! I am so getting a boob job when I am at a stable weight!

    Really? What kind if lotion your using? I use the firming lotion & saw no results and I did it for like 3 months before WLS.

    I use dove and olay and keeping skins mositure is what you are trying for to keep the elasticity of the skin. It is working for me so I will keep rubbing down in it! I know I will have a little skin but I can live with that!

    I have been stalled for over a month! I have been staying between 165-162lbs. I get all my protien and my labs were great at my 6 month check up. But I am getting very discouraged with this stall! I think I have done great so far, but I still want to atleast get to my personal goal of 135-140lbs!

    I don't have a lot of skin so far! My dr told me to lotion up 1st thing in the morning, mid day and at night before bed. Also said NO TANNING BEDS! I have followed it and I have some on my arms but everything else seems to be coming together!

    I went from a 38DD' date=' to about a 34 B or C. At least I have way more bra options! I lost my butt as well, but I am just glad to be able to shop almost anywhere.[/quote']

    I have a new problem now!!! I can't quit shopping! I love being able to go in all the store and not have to just shop in 3 stores. Now I can go in every store to shop!

    Had my 6 month check up! My Dr said I was doing great and ahead of schedule which was a surprise for me because I thought I was behind cause of all my stalls! Labs seems fine but B12 and vit d was high. He said all the stalls could be from my body trying to catch up. I fluctuate 5lbs due to Fluid build up. Off all my meds I took befote the surgery except my fluid pill every once in awhile. My kids and husband say I am such a happier person now and wabting to go and do more stuff with them. Even though my husband is jealous of the looks I'm getting now. Shoot I didn't even notice I was getting them. Lol I have lost some friends because I am not the "fat friend" anymore. My daughter said to me the other day "Wow Mom your teeth are so white and pretty" "What did you do to them?" I laughed and told her nothing. I just smile more now and no one ever noticed my smile before I guess! I am so thankful yo have had this surgery and this site with all of you! I am truly blessed
