Iambeautiful

I would if I knew them lol Its not something I kept track of honestly I just knew I lost weight every time I was weighed and that was good enough for me. The only time I happen to write anything down was when I was 2 months 8 days out and I had lost 106lbs in that time 119lbs pre and post overall. On the 20th I was at the docs and I was down another 11lbs, which took me under 200lbs and a total overall weight loss to date both pre and post op of 227lbs How on earth did you lose 106 lbs in two months and eight days? Amazing!!! I have never heard anyone that lost this much in such a short time.

@sassypants Wow you look great. you are an inspiration for me too. I am only just six weeks post op and my appearance has already changed a lot after 33 lbs loss. I have a big lower stomach and wondering how you lost your stomach...(sorry no offense intended... I have a smaller waist but a large lower abdomen from having children) Did you happen to have plastic surgery on the abdomen? I'm hoping I can get that done later when i lose my weight. What kind of diet did you stay on post op.... low carb? Thanks.

I found your post very helpful. I am only two weeks and a few days post op. I am doing good on soft food and it's so amazing that when i go out that i have no desire to go to a fast food place. I can relate with the occasional 'cheating' thing. Before I had surgery, I would often justify myself and reward myself for being good on my diet with allowing myself a favorite food or meal. But then I found myself craving it then on my strict days and would find myself giving in to the cravings again. I used to visit a fast food place like McDonalds almost everyday after I'd take my son to school and usually it was just for a coffee and sometimes a Breakfast sandwich. NOw when I go out the fast food places are not even a choice for me now.... not even for a coffee. I make my coffee at home now and not tempted to have any thing bad with it. I feel so free since the surgery.... I plan on using this tool to my advantage. I haven't even thought of an M&M and doubt if I could even eat one if I wanted to. I won't start when i can eat solid foods.... that's for sure after reading this. A food aholic can never eat 'just one' of the junk food crack....... At least I can't for sure. The photo at the end of your article had me cracking up. I could see my name being on there too...... We miss you.......hahaha
