My best gift I received was from my hubby an it was the new iphone 6+ 64gb The best one I gave was a MacBook Air to my little sister;)

Same thing me an my hubby do! Lol..

I use the gnc total lean 25, an it works well for me. They have lts of different flavors an it's very affordable.

How long after surgery did your doctor wait before he put you on metformin? I'm actually considering going on it myself. I used to take it with chlomid before my surgery but was told to stop all meds for fertility purposes until at least 9 months after surgery. Dr wants me to wait at least a year to try conceiving big said at minimum 9 months. My surgery was 5/28/14 an I'm thinking about starting the metformin now.

Hey bebe so sorry for late reply.. I'm not on here much anymore but try my hardest to check in at least once a week or every other week. What clothes are u interested in? The post above is when I was I'm 16's but now I'm in 12s an some 14s. I already gave my size 18 an up to family friends an good will. I will be having a new bag of 16's an hopefully 14's too before long, well as soon as I clean my closet an dresser out. I live in lake jackson which is about 25-30 away from pearland an south houston, but yea I know exactly where Baytown an pasadena/deer park is at. I Do a lot of worn out there;)

Here are a few more!! I know I'm probably posting to many.. I'm just feeling good, an very photogenic now;)[attachment=50359:ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1419671332.093496.jpg]

Most likely have posted before/after pics on here or 1 of these forum group sections before, but here's updated shots! SW 294 an size 24/26 CW 214 an size 12/13 lol

I use the gnc total lean 25 vanilla mix, an blend with ice frozen fruits an skim milk to make fresh fruit smoothies! I even make a banana split shake with half banana 1/4 cup crushed pinnaple! Ummmm... Even make protein popsicles with my xtra shake mix left in blender!

I'm in the Houston area in lake jackson, who's is 30 minutes south of pearland. I was sleeved 5/28, an just hit my 6 months out. It has been a remarkable experience and an amazing journey. Good luck to you all;) Here's a few before/after pics and stats below! Surgery weight 294 Current weight 213

I snack on beef jerky all day.. Literally!! lol.. 16g protein in a bag so I usually go through a bag in 2 days, by snacking on pieces throughout the day. Also have been on the p3 packs, there a great on the go snack!

Congrats on getting started on your new journey! Mine has been amazing so far. I was sleeved 5/28/14 an I'm down 74 lbs! It's going so fast... I to also have pcos an hope to beat it an have a regular cycle so I can have babies. I'm 27 years old and I have had pcos all my life but wasn't diagnosed with it until I was 23. When I would go to my gynecologist an explain the lengthy or non exsistence periods, he would tell me it was my body changing an hormones going crazy! That it was normal for ladies my age to go through body changes. It wasn't until me and the hubby went to a fertility specialist that I was diagnosed. Well I know I'm probably going into to much detail so I will just shut my trap! Lol.. It's just so nice to have conversation with other ppl going through the same things as me.

What all did you get done? How long did you wait?

Let me rephrase this a little... Because my doctor didn't just say, "You will become an alcoholic." He was basically giving me facts, about how most of us have an addiction an it's food, that's our comfort an go to. When we can't have certain thing we try to replace them with sonething else.. Like alcohol. Statistics show that 34% of wls patients that drink to early after surgery continue to keep drinking more than they had prior to surgery, an 15% end up doing rehabilitation programs for alcohol instead of over eating. He basically was giving me facts an letting me know the statistics of what others have gone through. I have been looking for these statistics online to post link but I can't seem to find.... Sooooo idk if dr was pulling my leg or not, but to be honest I really dnt care. It's not a crime to have a drink every now an then, so I will continue. #BottomsUp

Protonix? What is it for? I'm assuming heartburn... I had a hiatal repair same time as sleeve an I never had heart burn a day in my life until surgery. I told my dr about I an he told me to take Zantac. It does work but not all day an take a while to kick in. I mean I could get heartburn from just drink in water!!

To be honest I'm happy now at 224.... But I think it's because I haven't been that low in a while. So... I think 170-175 would be ideal for me. With my height an structure I believe anything lower than that would make me look sick! Even in high school I was 180 at a size 10/12 so it would be great to get there again;)
