Thanks bry!! Everyday is a challenge

Hi cherry glad to hear you are well- I'm 5.5 months out I'm on Instagram @sleever1212 and sandi sleever on Facebook If you have a Facebook account I can invite you to a private Facebook wls support group for women of color - "divas with curves reborn"

Progress from 290s In 2009 to 167.4 this morning. Yay! Vsg 121213

Hi plum just watch your portions which is easy early out keep protein and water up and vary your workouts when u start. The weight is sure to drop. Good luck I'm on Instagram @sleever1212 follow me

I'm from jersey in the oranges

I can't tolerate citrus fruits at the moment due to gastritis and inflammation at 5 months out -- I was perfectly fine with them at 3 to 10 weeks out so it's frustrating cause I love love love fruits. Hope this intolerance is not forever

Very well said!

I can't tolerate them the way I did pre op so odd I used to looooooove bananas b4 vsg. I will try baby food bananas and see how that goes cause I did well with baby food blends post op

@@Sami u should be very grateful dear! Unless by any chance no wls was performed at all which I highly doubt is the case

Deez you are too too kind! Sorry to hear about the swallowing challenges but hopefully you and I will be Back to our normal selves sooner than later! This time next year our challenges will be a thing of the past praise GOD I still feel chubby despite 90 pound loss since October last year lol -- everyone tells me to stop losing but can't help it due to diet restrictions and intolerances so so weird Follow me on Instagram @sleever1212 or on Facebook sandi Sleever stay blessed!

Hang in there I'm losing a ton of hair too even after cutting off over 80% of what I have left ugh I get all my protein in water, vitamins and workout 2-3x a week so it's frustrating

Highest 293 Surgery about 236-37 on 12.12.13 Today 167.8 (love my very reliable brandy new EatSmart scale) I'm 5'7" tall My loss is mind boggling but I'm ready to maintain at this point as I see and feel too much bone. I take pride in my Afro American curves, lol Total net loss of 125 pounds since my heaviest in 2009 wowza! Down 69 since surgery! Woohooooo! Follow me on Instagram @sleever1212

@@plumlove Glad to hear you are feeling better. At 3 weeks out I was extremely fatigued even walking up stairs was a challenge. Could barely get my fluids in due to hernia repair pain. I was out of work for 6 weeks. I did occasional walks around the block at 4 weeks or so for like 10 minutes but my serious fitness began at about 6-7weeks out when I started spin classes again. I'm 5 months out now and back to my normal routine of a healthy spin addiction. I walk and do moderate strength training occasionally at home for about 20-25 minutes or so. Take it easy but do your best to keep moving so the fat comes off without losing too much good muscle. Good luck I'm down 67 since surgery and 90 since last October -- woohoooo!!! My diet is very restricted due to gastritis but I'm hoping that heals up soon cause I miss sushi sooo sooo sooooo bad!

Welcome & good luck on your 2nd wls journey!

Thanks doll. Your avatar is flawless, I need some hair & makeup pointers ASAP!

Amazing!! Keep it up pretty lady

Just wanted to share my progress. Congrats everyone on all accomplishments no matter how big or small they may be. Highest 293 Surgery about 237 on 121213 (5 months out) Goal weight 175 Today 170 even (been fluctuating low to high 170s past few weeks or so) I'm 5'7"

Thanks Deez I hope you are doing well these days and not suffering with past challenges. I'm 5'7" tall and I guess very "big boned"-- everyone says I look smaller but I don't think so. My thighs are massive trust me. I'm still battling gastritis and inflammation so diet is very restricted mostly protein shakes powdered peanut butter soy milk greek yogurt beans eggs cheese and baked fish. I'm hoping things get better very very soon. Talk to you soon!

My current scale has lost its marbles so I can't wait until my new eatsmart scale arrives A few days ago it gave me readings between 168-177 with a mode of about 172 Today it was consistently reading 170.0 so I will go with that 5 months out vsg plus hiatal hernia repair (121213) Highest 293 Surgery about 236-7 Goal 175 Current low 170s -- wowza!!

Mine has been wacky, much heavier with severe clotting post vsg I'm 5 months out now and my 1st cycle post vsg sent me to ER Due to heavy clotting and menstruating plus scary dizziness. Cramps are apparent but not as heavy as pre op ironically I just took the "plan b one step emergency contraception" yesterday so I hope it doesn't negatively affect my next flow

No worries like everyone said contact the experts -- someone on my fb Bariatric support page is 30 weeks out and 31 weeks pregnant -- her and baby are doing just fine!!!
