I had the bypass and I only told my husband. I have a ton of friends and family and it's none of anyone's business what I do with my body.

I make my own pickles and eat tons of them each day. I just use salt, vinegar, splenda and little celery seed. That's it and they are SO good and they keep me busy eating. Love them! If anyone wants the exact recipe, let me know.

I have ⬆️ this one.... It's awesome! Best zucchini spaghetti ever.

That's awesome! Congrats and you look fantastic btw.

Hi Angelic, I go on liquids on the 8th and yes girl It's creeping up on me.

Happy late Thanksgiving everyone. How did the holiday treat you? Were you able to resist the temptations?
I thought it would be hard with all the carbs and dessert but it wasn't too bad at all.
I had a very small plate of Turkey, ham, green Beans, corn and yes... A little bit of stuffing with cranberry.
All-in-all... I think I did great and I actually lost a pound after all that Black Friday shopping and walking it off. It was a great day.
Shauna29.... It's almost December Gf, the time will be here before you know it. Let me know when you go on liquids.

I had a tiny plate! I had a finger sized piece of turkey, half a spoonful of dressing (because my Mom makes the absolute best dressing ever!), half a spoonful of green bean casserole, sautéed mushrooms, and my "famous" turkey giblet gravy! All of this weighed only 3oz! Then about 3 hours later I had a spoonful of sugar free pumpkin pie (no crust) that my Mom made for me!
All-in-all I'm down 60lbs since Sept!!!

I had my blood work done last month. I was right on target with my Protein. I use GENEPRO daily. I may occasionally go by a Protein Drink shop and buy a shake. I depend at least 65-75% of my Protein from Genepro.....I am still having problems with meat. Greek Yogart is too sweet.....so I rather use GENEPRO.< /p>

I am also new to this..... I am on this site every night trying to take in all the info I can. I don't have a surgery date yet but my last nutrition visit is on the 25th and hopefully things go quickly after that.

You look amazing!

Hey everyone! I feel like I've been away for awhile... But I wanted to post some updated before/during pics.
Just to catch up.....
My name is Misty. I had my VSG (sleeve) done June 2013. My highest weight was 245lbs. I've lost apporox 119 lbs (ignoring today's weight bc the past few days have been "cheat WEEKEND" LOL). For the most part, I eat very well (I've given up rice, bread, potatoes, Pasta, and a few other things I've deemed unworthy to be in my little tummy). I enjoy my gym time very much & consider myself somewhat of a "gym rat."
Tonight is my last cheat meal (today is my birthday!) -- which will consist of my first piece of pizza since my surgery and a piece of Godiva chocolate I purchased for the occasion.
Beginning tomorrow will be a strict ban on all things bad for me... Back to "normal" life, which I quite enjoy. I'm hoping to drop just a few more pounds in the next 6 months, then planning for plastics.
Hope everyone is doing well!!!

I think I got it! Pettit pouchet, little pouch in French! :-)

I'm glad you're back.

I see...I guess everyone's busy trying to take care of themselves. But I'm back from my little vacation so I'll be on here regularly.

Well nothing much been hanging in there. Surgery Is set for December 23, so I'm just patiently waiting..????

I feel amazing.... It has been a few years since I have been at my current weight. I have yo yo dieted and lost and gained over 60 pounds more than once.. Not to mention that I was never overweight until I got pregnant.

I started in a size 20 and I am now in a 14. Very exciting.
I'm 5'5".

Hello boys & girls of BP!
I had to check in today and let you all know that as of this morning, I am in onederland!! It's not a number that means anything to my health really, but it just feels significant. I guess because most women aren't really supposed to weight more than 200 pounds even under the best of circumstances, but especially if you're 5'1/2". It's been at least 9 years...yeah, I was 22 or 23 the last time I was undoh-2-hundo.
In honor of this (personally) momentous occasion, I am posting a couple of pics, which I've never done before. be gentle, be nice, or please don't comment...because my body is a onederland
also i feel kind of dumb because I can not get BP to display pics properly...it keeps rotating them for some reason, grrr. you get the idea.
OH! Also, the order goes : Before, After, B, A, B, A. Hopefully you could tell that!
     

Way to go girl congratulation

Congrats! That's very exciting :-) I'm down 30 pounds and I am extremely excited.

I hope everyone is still doing well.
I wanted to share some progress.
I started my journey at 312lbs. Surgery (RN-Y) was on 8Sept. As of today I'm down 45 lbs making me 267lbs. Also my Stats have shifted:
July 2014:
Weight: 310
BMI: 49.5%
Fat Mass: 153.5 lbs
Sept 25 2014:
Weight: 288.6
BMI: 47.8%
Fat Mass/ 138lbs
Oct 27 2014:
Weight: 267.0
BMI: 45.7%
Fat Mass: 122lbs

Honestly.... I put my scale away for a week or two and that way I don't have to see it everyday.

Congrats!!!!! That's awesome!!!

Pretty much embarrassment and shame. I'm also afraid of failing. I don't want to be the girl that couldn't even lose weight after having surgery. That's why I don't tell people. I would have my VSG done a million times over.. but if I had the choice to go back and do it all again, I would choose to not have gotten this fat to begin with. I hate it. I don't want other people to know AND it's none of their business. I also had an abortion, which I still think is the right decision for me at the time.. but do I like that or tell people? Hell no. I wish that hadn't been a thing either. Is it inappropriate for some people to talk about these things with others? Not at all. Does that mean I have to? No. That's my choice.
