6 months post op with pics
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!

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! You know, I've realized lately that I'm only 34 (35 in June) and I am still young and vibrant!

Hernia?
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.

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!

ONEderland!
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!

calories
I would say 500-600 as well.

Wondering if I'm the only one...
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!!!

Easter's Challenge
Cw- 200 Took a week to lose a pound! Taking forever to get to 199! Oh well.
-
5 months out...
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.

How much is too much? Pureed foods
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?

Sugar free candy
So I need to go to the bathroom. Should I try one? Lol

How did you talk with your children about your surgery?
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

Easter's Challenge
202. Seems to be moving again but it's been frustrating lately. I figured this would happen when I got close to wonderland!
-
Is there something wrong with me?
You have to make yourself eat. Just eat a little something every few hours. It gets better.
-
Gain?
Well, the 2 pounds are gone plus 1 more. I think I was constipated! lol
-
Muscle relaxer?
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.
