I kept one pair of my biggest pants.....everything else to St. Vincent DePaul...they do very good works in my area. I know there was someone out there that needed them as I did once. I spent so much money on clothes...as you know...clothes that large do not come cheap! Now I despise spending money on clothes!!! I'm on the clearance racks...because I can be now!! Yay!

I'm 2 years and two months out....

I had a few family members that were scared for me...I appreciated their concern and did it! I have never looked back...should have done it years ago!!!

Bless you and continue to work on you just as before and allow Karma to take its course! Because Karma is a mofo! Concentrate on you and your kids

I love the look on the server's face when my honey and I tell them we will share a meal! He is a tall large guy and I am well...still not a little gal. We usually both get Water... I think they must think we are broke or homeless...lol At least they look at us that way...lol

It may not seem like a big deal, but this week I stopped in at Target and bought a bathing suit top off the rack. I didn't try it on but I got one size smaller than the one I have been wearing. Today, when I got to the pool I tried it on and actually looked at myself, in my bathing suit, in front of a full length mirror. The suit fit, and I looked pretty good all things considered.

I will tell you this as I was 385 when I started my journey. See how YOU feel at 230. You do what works for you! I had 200 in mind...but because of all the lose skin and my collar bones protruding...200 is not going to happen for me. You will know when you get comfortable with you! Best of luck to you!

The only advise I can give you is sip sip sip....You will feel better I promise! Best to you!!

My doctor didn't require but I did....I wanted my liver as small as possible..I had zero problems!

I was a self pay at $9800 in Louisiana...

I work in an office...two weeks was plenty of time. Best of luck to you!

I haven't had plastics, but since my weight loss, I've had the same problem. My armpit is like the Grand Canyon!

I have one word for you sweetie! NEXT!

It is very hard to be objective about a relationship when you are in it....One day you will thank him for showing his ass! Best of luck to you and your new life! You will not regret this!!

What an insecure selfish prick move that was.
So.......surgery to improve your health was all it took to run him off ?????
He's got tons of issues that will take years that work through....... And if he is even man enough at some point to work through them.
Have the surgery and improve every aspect of your life that you can. You'll find a real man who is unselfish and values you and your choices.
If he's younger.......then all the better.
Get revenge through getting healthy and living each day to the fullest.

That's a horrible way to start on what should be the most life-changing experience you will ever have. It does get better. As you continue to lose weight, your quality of life will improve, not to mention your range of motion and overall health.
If you get a survey from the hospital, fill it out and tell the truth. Hospital administrators read those things and take corrective actions - especially if it is a Press-Ganey survey that ranks them among other hospitals across the country.
Geeze-o-Pete, it sounds like you got your surgery at Walmart with Goofy as your anesthesiologist and Donald Duck (quack) as your surgeon. Not all medical staff has IV skills, even at the best hospitals. If you are among the unfortunate few who have hidden veins, the task is even more challenging.
The worst is over now. You've done well to have a 74 pound weight loss already. You will feel better as soon as you graduate to soft foods. With the improvement that is coming with your nutrition, your body systems will rejoice and reward you with better health than you probably have ever had.
Just be patient, dear. We get in such a hurry to undo a lifetime of dietary error, and it just takes some time to reverse that process. Buyer's remorse and the emotional roller coaster are common at the stage you are at......what you are feeling is perfectly normal.
Be kind to yourself. Rest. Keep hydrated. Follow doctor's instructions as best you can. Visit us often. This is a great support group here. I tell newbies that opinions and tact will vary, but we mean well.

I think you dodged a bullet. For all you knew he could have been married and was just looking for a little something on the side.
The good news is that there's plenty of fish in the sea and you are at a time where you don't need to be jumping into something serious. You need to experience the joys of just dating and having fun first before you move on to a serious relationship. You will need time to process everything as well as discover yourself after weight loss.

Nothing is easy when it comes to clothes period. I can wear a ladies large...no wait...my torso can...my arms still need an XL or 1X. My co-workers say "oh...you must be having so much fun shopping". I just smile and say yeah. No...no I am not.
I am thrilled with the weight loss but truthfully shopping is more of a chore now...even tho I can shop in stores instead of ordering from Romans or Woman Within. I have no clue what size to pull off the rack...it's a crap shoot., Just the daily life of a woman who lost 170 lbs...I knew the skin would be an issue but guess I never thought about clothes, I still thank God everyday tho.....and avoid the fitting room!
