4 MONTHS: Weight loss at a crawl. hair thinning. Taking all our Vitamins and supplements. Bottom pain when sitting too long. Deflating boobs. Sagging skin. Occasional food stuck causing foamies/nausea. Forgetting to eat/drink and getting to the verge of passing out (some of us actually passing out). The life of a WLS patient is not always glamorous but I will take it. Nothing feels better then feeling good.
I fell amazing about who I am and who I am becoming. This surgery is "THE BOMB."
How else would we be called:
Small butted
Little
Hermosa
Looking like a model (someone actually said that to me) I had on, a pair of black high heel boots, pencil skirt and blue ombre top. All held together with Spanx. A new hair cut and about an hour worth of make up completed the look. I knew I looked great and everyone said so.
Hot
Healthy
Shapely
Amazing
Having a waist
Curvy
Nearly being able to be tossed across a field (lol)

Yesterday I reached 229, have not been here in twenty years. I admit I actually cried.

I have noticed that I can eat more Soup or salad than other things. Any beef sits like a ton of bricks so usually just a couple bites of that.

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

Today I realized that I am 4 pounds away from 100 lost from my heaviest weight. I'm 80 down from the day of surgery. Starting to really appreciate the struggle!

Today is a day for celebration! Well, one celebration, tomorrow may be another one. Today I weighed in at 200.8 lbs. Thats 50 lbs loss from my heighest weight. This is also the lowest I've been since I can recall from 2006, when I was pregnant with my daughter. I didn't cry ugly tears,yet. I imagine I will once I find that illusive 199 lbs mark. It's so close I can taste it. I managed to find out that I lost around 6 lbs last month give or take a lb. Although it has averaged 10.5 lbs a month since surgery. That is the average amount of loss. My expatations may have been premature and I feel like I will make many of those premature assumptions in the future. Whoever said WLS was easy, have no single idea what they are talking about, we have to struggle with our minds and bodies daily, we have to find ourselves, find the love we may have lost or had stolen from us with hurtful words, evil eyes and our own words repeated in our heads over and over again. One day I will hope that I can look back at this and Say, what were you so worried about? You were beautiful then, you were loved then, you were accepted then. So today I Celebrate the fact that I've lost 50 lbs, and want to lose so much more, but for today its amazing.

I am so excited, I am only 5 pounds to 200 lbs. I am so going to Celebrate that milestone. I have to go back 13 years to be below that weight. My husband thinks I should buy something memorable to always remember that by. I said: sure what about a Porshe? Lol, that's a no. I have been thinking, but have not come up with any brilliant idea besides some jewelry.

@@freelyme,I was 377 on the day of surgery so you weren't the biggest. I just hit 299 a few days ago and cried like a baby. It feels great. I have lost almost 80 pounds though since surgery on 10/15/14. Good luck!!

I laughed so hard at your losing the pants story. I so can relate. When I put the pants on, I am thinking, yes, this is a little big but I'm okay. Then hello, the pants slide right down, I can't even catch them fast enough. Last week, I was organizing the storage area in my basement that has all the Christmas decor. It was a huge job and I had these stretchy pants on. I must have pulled them up a 100 times before I went - Heck, I can't do this anymore, my pants are seriously slowing me down. Now, I can't remember ever having suffered from this predicament in my entire life. I cannot tell you how many times I pull my pants up. This is why I finally moved all the clothing that didn't fit out of my closet (most of it). It was driving me baddy. Even the pants I had moved the button an inch in were falling off. I have lost 7 inches off my waist. I get how moving the button one inch in is not going to solve the problem. Lol, WLS problems. Belts help but asking a belt to address a 7 inch problem is like asking for a miracle. You know how there are "First World Problems" such as 900 channels and nothing to watch on TV. Losing your pants is for sure worthy of "WLS problems."

So I haven't had a lot of issues with clothes being so big they fall off. That is until the last few days. I walked from the car to the house, with my hands full of course, and lost my pants right as I got in the front door. Then this evening I put on my favorite comfy pj pants and walked from my bedroom to the kitchen and lost them on the way.

Congratulations on making it to 299. That's wonderful. I am sure you can't believe how well you are doing. Isn't this amazing. Success only helps even further. It's a great motivator. Well done!

In an epic long stall....working through it. Put on some workout clothes to power through T25 workout of the day. My daughter insisted on taking a pic. She's so sweet - she told me I was the inspiration in her life. Talk about tears ❤️ I'm silently dying with kidney stones - anyone else have that issue? I'm looking for some remedies.
