  1. Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I really appreciate it. Yesterday afternoon we were outside on a beautiful day and I was running with the kids in the yard. Aside from all the other reasons, that right there is why I did this!
  2. I feel amazing!!!!! Never better!
  3. I feel like I'm shrinking in height. Need to measure myself and see!
  4. Thank you! Younger is good! You know, I've realized lately that I'm only 34 (35 in June) and I am still young and vibrant! I used to dress and feel old. I'm enjoying the cute clothes I can wear now. I love feeling like a young mom and wife that feels great every day! Thank you! Younger is good!

  5. I had a hernia repaired as well. I had a lot of pain the first week. It was much more than I expected. Worse than my c sections.
  6. I've never posted pictures on here before. My co workers found an old picture of me yesterday and wanted to take a picture to compare. We were all amazed at the results. It was very emotional for me. Down about 90 lbs in 6 months. Never been happier!

  8. Congrats. I hit ONEderland today too! Feels great!
  9. Ha! That's the way to do it! I bet that's a big change from how you would have celebrated pre-op!!!! Huge change!!!! Lol
  10. Thanks everyone! Yall have me smiling! Oh, I celebrated by going to the gym and having a great workout!
  11. I never thought it was going to happen but it did! I'm almost 6 months post op and today I hit 199. Haven't seen it in over 15 years. I'm down 87 lbs. as of today. This surgery was the best thing I could have done for myself. I have been frustrated lately because the loss has been slow. I've been continuing to do what I'm supposed to and I guess it's working. My goal is 160 so 39 more lbs!
  12. I would say 500-600 as well.
  13. I'm almost 6 months out and feel like I'm at a standstill! The most frustrating part is that I have NOT had any setbacks with eating! I've never cheated. Not one time and not one bite. I'm so frustrated!!!
  14. Cw- 200 Took a week to lose a pound! Taking forever to get to 199! Oh well.
  15. I'm in the same boat. Will be 6 months out on the 30th and I'm down about 86 lbs. however, the scale has not been moving much the past few weeks. It's frustrating. I still have 40 more lbs to hit my personal goal.
  16. 4 oz of purée is different than 4 oz of solids. I wouldn't go over 4 oz. but I think you are ok. I couldn't eat that much at that point but everyone is different. Are you uncomfortable after eating?
  17. So I need to go to the bathroom. Should I try one? Lol
  18. Mine are 11, 8, and 6. I was very honest with them and explained to them what was going on. I told my oldest one early on because I didn't want her to worry cause I was going to the dr a lot. I'm not one to go to doctors so I didn't want her to think I was sick. All my kids handled it well. They are very proud of me. The hardest part for them was watching me drink liquids for a month. They didn't like that I couldn't eat. My son kept trying to feed me. Lol. It's funny cause I love that my kids now read labels and talk about how much protein is in stuff. Lol
  19. 202. Seems to be moving again but it's been frustrating lately. I figured this would happen when I got close to wonderland!
  20. You have to make yourself eat. Just eat a little something every few hours. It gets better.
  21. Well, the 2 pounds are gone plus 1 more. I think I was constipated! lol
  22. I'm going to call them today. Work has been killing me lately and I'm so sore that I'm not sleeping well at night.
