  1. I was really teying before even making snack wraps and then idk what happened towards march i stopped trying id just get fruits and Water and go on and i usto take my Vitamins and a month ago i also stopped. I started trying again after my appointment so im back with the shakes. I want to seek counseling but its hard to find one without a 3 month waiting list. Im going to keep trying to eat i also got discouraged because i would burp up my food before. Then i got obsessed with watching the scale go down and only focused on water. Another thing i noticed was that fresh food like fruits and salad went down great so i stuck to it


  2. Thanks ladies! I had a ten pound baby so my tummy isnt great but i havent really tried to work at it with the gym so who knows. Im just happy to not be this huge Amazon anymore, im tall so being tall and fat was so hard on me. Now i feel better and think i look younger. I went to my 7 month post op, they didnt see me for a while because i was going through a lot and wanted to forget them. Well they sent me for blood work and an upper gi, i get this done then go back for my 8 month follow up. My doctor wanted me at 199 so hes impressed but they stressed the fact that i barely eat, i only eat fruits and bites here and there.


  3. sorry for your loss smiley ????????.

    My stats 301 on surgery day oct 13th, 167 today, total loss of 134 and 17 lbs from first goal of 150 and 37 lbs away from ultimate goal of 130. I am giving myself until my 1 year mark to be 130. I didn't go to the gym at all but will start in june so that i can get some definition to my body. I also feel some energy now.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.

  6. 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.


  7. @@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.


  8. @@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.


  9. 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.


  10. @@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.


  11. 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


  12. 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!


  13. 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....


  14. 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.
