171 this week.
That makes a total of 100 pounds lost. I am so excited I was trying to make that 100 pound mark before Christmas and I did it!! I have to step up the exercise this week because I am going to eat a sugar cookie and a few bites of other goodies on Christmas Day.
Hope you all have a happy, love filled Holiday!!

I am not at my goal weight yet. However, I have lost 95 pounds so far. One thing that I am enjoying wearing that I never wore before is heels and wedges. I am having fun rocking my sexy new shoes. Also, I have been buying shirts that are more fitted through the waist. Even brought a jacket that is belted at the waist. I actually have a waist now!!!

174 today. Only three more pounds to go and I will have lost 100 pounds. So excited.

I didn't really like to cook before my surgery. I cooked for my family, but it wasn't one of my favorite things to do. I almost never baked. Post surgery I love to cook. I also love to bake for others. I think since I can't eat things with high carbs and fat I enjoy watching other people eat them. My entire family is normal weight and can eat anything without gaining weight. When I cook their meals I make sure I have some type of lean Protein for myself, but enjoy cooking all their favorites. Every once in awhile I wish I could have a helping of Mac and cheese, noodles, bread, etc. but it passes quickly. I am 4 1/2 months post op.

Mine is just one big hiccup- then I know I am completely full. It's so funny. I developed this at about three months out.

Count me in too!! This will be my first challenge. I was sleeved on June 23,2014

I took a small travel pillow that I used to hold against my stomach when I walked or coughed and that helped the pain. I had soft cotton gowns and soft cotton underwear that I used. However, my lifesaver was I took a bottle of Biotene mouthwash and I used that frequently as my mouth was super dry. Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, body spray,and a little bit of makeup. I even had a bottle of nail polish and I painted my nails as soon as I got back to my room. They wouldn't let me wear nail polish to surgery. I guess that's considered overpacking but I used everything. I also am the nursing administrator at the hospital that I had it done at, so I had tons of visitors and wanted to look my best. That being said... The pillow and the mouthwash were essential to me. Some people swear by the gas X strips so you might want to take some. I had them, but was blessed with NO gas pains. Make sure you are up and walking as soon as possible. Good luck!!

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I know that after years of getting judged for being overweight, the last thing you need after all your hard work and success is a judgmental attitude from a plastic surgeon. Also, this is the perfect place to vent your feelings. I just want you to know that regardless of that jerks behavior you are such a positive inspiration to everyone on this forum. Your great advice and positive attitude is awesome and appreciated. So, if you need to vent your sorrow and frustrations you are more than entitled.
I am a little over three months post op myself and while I have lurked daily on this forum I have never joined or commented on anything. I joined tonight because I wanted to tell you that the night before my surgery I was so nervous and thinking about canceling it. However, it was in reading your story and journey that gave me the courage and faith to go through with it. So I thank you for that!! I am sending hugs and good wishes your way. Embrace your fabulousness and know that you are an inspiration to so many!!
