everyone is different. ultimately you will lose if you follow the rules. i lost 30 the first month, 80 the second, im 5.5 months post op and lost 115 now. I had complications early on that made me lose way faster. my mom had it done and she lost 120 in total and it wasnt as fast as me but it happened.

yahoooo! lost another pound today. so this is how 186 looks on my 5'11 stature. im giving myself 6 months to lose the other 36, i think i can get there before then though. I want to turn 25 at 150. I am even considering 130 now, my friends think im nuts but i just want to take advantage of my tool to the max. i hope you ladies are doing well, anyone heard from @@layknee ? i've had her on my mind.

hey guys, just want to say you all look amazing. i finally broke my stall, lost 8 more lbs woo hoo. i have lost 114 pounds in 5.5 months. i cannot believe this. i dont have saggy skin aside from my breast so i guess age played its part for me. i feel good now, everything falls off me and im just overall feeling good about myself. my sons father cant believe the change, i still didnt tell him. he just thinks i lost way less, i told him 80 in 5 months. i still cant stand him but now that im hot he wants to change hah, id be a fool to fall for it. ive been working, and started school again. i cant really lift my son anymore hes so heavy to me. idk what else to say, im just glad the tough times are over and now i can say i do not regret this surgery. 37 more lbs til goal, it seems so achievable now.

@@Beni thank you, you're right. I'm not worried about the curves because naked they are gone lol. I don't feel satisfied yet but I know its my mind that was usto being fat, I feel fat in the mirror. I'm at a 14 and a size 12 fit me in gap but very tight, I want to be a 10 or even 8, but I don't want to look sick. I sometimes feel like I'm done losing weight, I've been stalled for 3 weeks. Idk but I just want to lose all I can because I heard we will regain 20lbs after we are done losing weight. I don't want to be a failure. I was passing out a lot last week and started eating a bit more and drinking more fluids and now I feel better, but I feel guilty when I eat and don't get sick, I'm so scared of going back to how I was. I just want to be normal too. I started working out in my house to tone up and sofar its going good, I want to tighten my arms and whole body. This surgery is so hard, because the problem wasn't only being fat it was in my head too. I'm very hard on myself and everytime I look in the mirror or when I get on the scale I feel bad that I haven't lost anymore weight and I'll avoid eating and just drink water for the rest of the day. Before I cut my sons father out of our lives for good he called me fat and I want to say eff you to him now but my pride won't even let him see me now that I'm not fat, forget him. I even feel bad that he inspired me to be greater, I should of did that for me and my son.

@@Glyndalin thank you sweets, I'm looking for opionions because my family says I look like a stick but I think its just because they were usto me being gigantic. I would not mind 160 at all, I don't remember ever being 160 lol. If I can get to 150 even better, I know for a fact that I need to work out to get the body I want though. Someone asked how many calories we are averaging at, I don't even keep count anymore but I'd say I get 300 to 500 now, and some days that I decide to sleep all day I get in maybe less than 100. I've been stalled for a while now but I also had a period and I usually lose 5lbs after it goes away. Thank you for your input I really think I'm going to just keep doing what I'm doing and see where I end up like you said.

hey ladies and gents im 196 and i want to lose 46 more. what do you guys think?

hey guys! i started working this monday and let me tell you guys about my new discovery. sitting down hurts, i miss my big old butt, i have nothing now so it hurts badly to sit around. another discovery is that i can't forget to bring lunch because working with kids will burn off a lot of energy, i passed out 2 times this morning before leaving for work, one time going into the bathroom and i woke up on the floor with scraped knees and then leaving the bathroom as well i woke up in my hallway with a bruised arm. i know its because i barely ate the whole week, but now i am packing my lunches. i was stalled for a few days but since monday i have lost 3lbs, i bet its from dehydration and running after kids. another thing is that i am losing a lot of hair, im thinking of getting a nice bob cut. another discovery is that my boobs have shrunk a lot, i was a 38-40 dd, now im 36 d, they look great with my bra on but without, yikes.

@@layknee its okay baby it will grow back. When I was going through my depression, I went a month without combing or washing my hair and when I finally combed it, I kid you not I lost about half the hair on my head. I chopped it off before surgery because I wanted it to grow along with my weight loss, now its grown but it is way thinner. My mom says I'm lucky I had a lot of hair to begin with but now its just thin and I'm like whatever. Today I had 65 percent of a snack wrap and I kind of dumped but it was worth it, I'm trying to eat more because I need energy to start working. I also had beef again and it was kool beans with my pouch. I think I'm also getting used to dumping like it only last 30 to and hour so I'm okay with it. I'm starting kickboxing in 2 weeks to tone up and I'm also starting the gym in march, I hope I can get my arms to stop looking like jelly.

thanks, girl i think you're safer doing it your way. i don't eat and i said screw protein too. i take a bite of my sons food and then i drink water and juice mixed all day. im basically on a no nutrition liquid diet. yesterday for the first time in forever i made a concoction of oj with pulp and water with genepro and it was ok, i just try to keep my fluids up. i had half a snack wrap for dinner one day and the other half for breakfast, it didnt do anything to me so i guess il get another one tonight. i also had stew beef earlier today and i was nauseous so i know i wont do it again. amy, im almost 6ft lol

guys this is a before pic from may of last year, i was 20lbs heavier for surgery and i know i already shared my other pic but here it is again for comparison, i just cant believe it.

thanks ladies and gents, im so glad i dont feel like crap anymore and that i didnt die. i have good news!!! today i reached onederlandzzzzz and i am 199 lol with a weight loss of 102 and i make 4 months on the 13th. i made an appointment for my 3 month followup but they didnt have anything until march so il be 5 months when i get my 3 month check up lol. I also bought a plain snack wrap from mcdonalds last night and ate half!!!!! i didnt even get sick, i was like what forreal lol, and then i ate the other half this morning straight out of the fridge and still didnt get sick. i start working in 2 weeks, and i start school in 3 weeks, i got rid of my sons father for good, he doesnt deserve to be around my sexy behind and i never told him i had the surgery. i think this might just be the best year ever. 49 more lbs until i reach goal!

Thanks ladies! It has been hard and I still can't eat much of anything. I take a bite of my sons food and then fill myself with liquids. The reason why I look under 200 is because of my height. I went to get an mri and I put my weight and the tech was like this can't be and I'm like oh yeah it is lol. That's why I was reconsidering my goal of 150. I wish I could work out, I probably could but I'm going to admit I'm lazy and also tired. Anyways how are you ladies? And gents....

Hey guys 95lbs down almost at below 200 I am at 206

hey guys, how are you all doing? i am still having a hard time eating, so ive given up. i eat whenever i cant take it anymore so maybe every few days. whenever i eat i am throwing up no matter what it is, and im just tired of throwing up so i just do liquids all day and every few days a bite of something im feeding my son. i am down 93lbs since oct 13th, i never went to my 3 month follow up because i feel these doctors cant help me. im just doing the best i can and thats all. i start working next month and am hoping that in the next coming months i can eat normally because right now i drink like 20oz to 30oz of liquids per day and dont eat.

@dc you look hot! @@Amy Thanks, today was a slow day I got up late and walked to my moms house about 2 miles away. I know I have to try harder to feel better. The last 2 weeks I've slacked on getting my protein and vitamins in and even liquid. I'm hoping I get back into the zone. I'm just glad my back pain is 80 percent gone, I feel human again.

I made an effort today. These are pics from a few minutes ago

Aww thanks ladies! Yeah I still have a gallbladder, I'm just so scared to go back to er I'm really tired of being there. My lil one has been with me on and off, my mom took him for 6 days because I couldn't get up from bed and when I did get up it was literally crawling to get him stuff. The last 4 days he's been here and so has his dad ugh yuck. I think I'm losing too fast too but I know its because of me not eating. I did go get blood work with my pcp around xmas and everything was good except my anemia and everything that has to do with hematology. I feel better today but I just don't feel any hunger or desire to do anything with my life. I also think I'm dealing with depression due to everything that has happened, its like I just sleep all day and I have moments that I'm crying reflecting on my life mistakes. This is tmi but I've been so down that I haven't even showered in like 10 days, the pain won't allow me to stand in the shower and call me nasty but I haven't even tried to wash myself, all I do is crawl to the kitchen fill up a water bottle, cry and then sleep. I'm a mess, I can't wait to feel better.

Hey loves, so for the past 10 days I've been dealing with severe back pain but refused to go to er. I didn't eat or move out of bed for 8 days and then pushed myself the following 2 days. I am 12 weeks post op and 81lbs down. I thought I'd feel better with losing weight but now my back hurts way more than it did before, maybe its the way I stand or walk idk. I feel a little better today although I can't stand up straight or stand for long periods of times. I feel very dehydrated because I haven't been taking vitamin or eating or drinking how I should be. My mom said I look like a stick, I definitely see myself wasting away. I am 5'11 and started at 301 now I'm 220. I think I'm going to have to reconsider my goal of 150 because I already look a bit thin. Anyone else dealing with weird pains? I sure hope this goes away.

okay so its good that im not the only one lol. i definitely see a breast lift in my future, because while they aren't so bad yet if this is only 9 weeks out i can't stomach what they will look like in the following months.
