I got on a plane today. A Southwest Airlines plane. Any of you who have been over 300 pounds know that their seats are small and their seatbelts are even smaller.
I FASTENED THE SEATBELT WITHOUT AN EXTENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, I didn't have to have the arm rest up!!!!
I am so frickin' thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the scale isn't moving for me, these NSVs are a true blessing and make me smile from ear to ear!

334 to 245

I upped my protein to 80g a day, and I lost 3lbs this week!! I started drinking water continuosly throughtout the day and its really heloing, I just hope it sticks

What I started doing was not only using Myfitness pal but logging my food in a note book, made me really conscious of what im eating, started aiming for 70g of Protein also, since sunday o have lost 2.5lbs so its working! Good luck

Congrats on the decision to take your life back.
2nd- the best advice for you is to keep a food log of your food intake, hold yourself responsible for what you put in your body.....
3rd remove the word *can't* from your vocabulary.you did not gain weight overnight and you will not lose weight overnight...it takes time but don't feel discouraged
I will say this, surgery is not magic, you will have many stalls during your journey (many of us here have) but don't feel down we have many things to be thankful for along the way....grab a pair a pants that you have not fit in a long time, cross your legs, how are you sleeping, feeling? look for other things that you can say wow...I feel so much better.
I can tell you from experience i have had stalls during my entire journey but you know what I look at the positive aspect of my journey and that makes me say the numbers don't matter:)
WLS rules, Protein, Water, Vitamins, FOOD log, walking, exercise...follow these rules and you will be fine....
your pouch will do its job, you have to do the rest, good luck

How about the ones that say you don't need to lose any more weight or you will be too skinny? I know they mean well, but I want a healthy bmi. Health was my whole reason for having wls!

I've come up with a standard reply for my customers who are noticing and commenting on my weight loss more and more each day. I just smile and say "Thank you for noticing! How can I help you?". Acknowledge and turn attention back to them - that's my strategy. It's working so far. :-)

I'm not great at accepting compliments either. Just smile and thank them. I usually do that and say, Thank you, I FEEL great. That usually gets them off the looks and onto how I feel.

So many people focus on size and not health. The only thing is to remind why you got it done or quickly change the subject.

As of 12/28/2013

In the process of toning up so I need to add about 5 lbs to get to my goal weight of 130...I'll keep a posting pics as I come along ♡♡♡
Check me out, patriotic down to my toes lol...

So before I had surgery I was never really self conscious about my weight at 240, ive never jad negative feedback from weight so it didnt bother me, now that im 173lbs im getting a lot more attention, positive attention and its driving me crazy, ive never liked attention to be on me, and now everytime I see someone I know they say how different and good I look, as if I looked horrible before, I know thats not what they mean but still plays on my mind, I didnt get this surgery to look good I got it to be healthy fir myself and my family, its true when they say after surgery it takes a lot of mental strength

I must admit even at 230 I've never really had a tummy, it wasn't flat but I never had rolls or anything like that. I just had Hugh boobs, thighs, and tukkus for days lol so those are my problem areas (sagging issues) I'm hoping as I tone I it will improve lol its not crazy looking ams I'm sure I'm probably my biggest critic lol so my opinion is bias. Don't get me wrong over all I'm pretty satisfied with the new me, but I am still a work in progress

Merry Christmas! The first picture is me and my son. I had bypass in April and he had sleeve in October. I am down 132 total and he is down 130 total! So happy. The other pictures are me last Christmas and me yesterday. Love life!♥
