Simpy amazing! Congratulations to you.

I weigh once a week usually on a Monday or Tuesday morning.

Sorry I forgot to tell my height. I am 5 feet even.

Hi Sugarbee. I had my surgery on 4/8/14. My stats are as follows: Pre-surgery: 219lbs Day of surgery: 207lbs 8/3/14 (almost 4 months post op): 165lbs with 35lbs until goal I am a slow loser due to not being able to get in my Protein and Water goals for the first 2.5 months. I had at least 2 stalls. I'm doing much better now that I can eat a tad bit more. My plan is to reach goal within the next 3-4 months, maybe sooner. Good luck to you!

I am dying laughing ????????????????

Although I understand why some people keep their surgery a secret, I tell anyone who asks how I loss the weight that I had weight loss surgery. Everyone on my job and family members know I had the surgery. I don't care if people react negatively. It has been the best choice for me and I don't live my life for others. A couple of people I know are now looking into WLS since seeing my weight loss at only four months post op. It is my hope that more people will open up about their surgery but if they don't it's their choice.

Hey there Kaz, I was actually thinking bout you today and wondering how you were doing. Ahhh mazing by the way!- .5 is still .5 take that and add it to the rest it will all add up in due course. I've learnt early on to remember not every time i overate or ate wrong foods did I see immediate weight gain but sometimes I did and sometimes it came on slowly but eventually it did of course - therefore on the flip side, I expect I should see some immediate losses, some slow ones and some stalls.... Just coming out of a stall and slow loss these last three weeks. Keep going strong - and remember all the good advice and support you give to everyone else :-) Thanks, I needed that. Yes, slipped off the bandwagon into a chocolate lake again. Not the answer! Have to keep reminding myself of the money and pain I've put myself through for this; I'm determined again! X Hi Kazyy! I think we are both walking the same path but we will not be defeated! I know stalls are frustrating but we have to push forward. One of my tools is to only weigh myself once a month or I just wait until I go to the doctor. I took someone else's strategy about getting more Protein in. I also let my clothes tell me if I am losing. I bought a dress on 4/25 that was too small for me (it was bulging on all sides, lol). Yesterday was my second time wearing it and it is now too big. I didn't realize how big it was until I saw myself in a photo my friend took. So although the numbers on the scale aren't necessarily going down, my body is obviously getting smaller. So.....take it slow, keep eating healthy, exercising and getting in your Water and protein and you will do just fine.</blockquote>Thanks Miss B! I put a dress on today and was tripping over it with less boobs and bum to keep it up lol. You're right, I'm clearing out clothes already. Lost a couple of pounds, probably just the stress of doing school reports haha. Thanks for the encouragement! We will succeed! Hi Kazzy, I just wanted to check on you to see how things are going. I'm down to 165lbs. Working hard to get to 130. I hope your weight loss is going well. Take care.Nia

Hi daisy2355. Sounds like the weight is just melting off. Good for you. Here are my stats: Pre-surgery: 219 SW: 207 CW: 165 Keep up the good work!

You have got to be kidding. No exercise and you look like that. All I can say is wow, amazing etc...

You look fantastic! I'm almost 4 months out and down 54lbs. I'm having difficulty getting my tummy down. Your tummy seems to have come down nicely. Would you mind telling what were some of your workout routines, especially tummy workouts?

Great post. Thank you.

Nice! I love those shorts. Keep up the good work.

Congrats, you look fantastic!

Hi Faye. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. I was experiencing the same symptoms after exercising because I would exercise on an empty stomach (early morning). Now I drink a cup of milk before I exercise which gives me a lil protein and carbs all at the same time. I wish you all the best ????

You look wonderful Erica. That's an amazing transformation.

What are truly heartfelt story. Thanks for sharing. You are such an inspiration. You've done an amazing job. Keep up the great work. I wish you and your dad all the best and much more time to spend with one another. Take care.

Awesome! You look wonderful. You look so happy on your vacation. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, you look fantastic. Please share your workout secrets.

You look stunning and so does your outfits!!!

You look beautiful.

Wow you look great. I almost didn't recognize you without the facial hair, lol. Keep up the great work and you'll be at goal in no time.

Yes, I had an itchy rash that started on my right arm near my shoulder. Then it spread to my left shoulder and back. I had to go to the dermatologist who said it could have been an allergic reaction to the anesthesia. They gave me a cream which has worked but at 3 months post op I still have 1 little bump on my right arm where the rash initially started. I will address this with my dermatologist at my next appointment. I hope all goes well for you.

Kaiwil you are doing great. Do you mind sharing what workouts you do to help the stomach go down. My stomach s the last thing to go. It is so frustrating because I lose everywhere else first so it makes my stomach look larger, ugh. I would appreciate any info you have.

Way to go. You look great.
