  1. My friends pushed me out of the circle post weight loss surgery. They stated they didn't want to make me feel bad eating around me. Since then I've upgraded to better more active friends. My surgery weeded out the duds.
  2. I've lost 78'lbs and it's hard for me to see...I think it is because I was in denial about how big I was. Everyone else seems to notice.
  3. My surgery was in Hagerstown
  4. I'm in the area, but my surgery was at Meritus.
  5. As someone who works in a hospital, I hate to hear all these negative experiences. We aren't all callous and bad! On a positive note, I had my annual with my gynecologist and he told me how proud he was of me! He had suggested it in the first places and I hadn't seen him since!
  6. If it makes you feel better, I got stuck on 211 too! It was my first stall! I thought my scale was mocking me! I'm down 67 lbs since my surgery in July...my stall was at 3 months.
  7. I was luckily, that's one of the first places I've lost weight. I've been using strivectin, it seems to help
  8. I decided I should start running today, I was able to go a mile before I stopped! Oh and my small clothes are starting to be too big! Yes I hate shakes. But without them my Protein lacks.
  9. I'm in. Current weight is 212, my goal by the end of the year is 190.
  10. I had VGS and I find myself gurgling when I wake up. It's crazy and it just started 3 months out.
  11. I'm a big diva cup fan. I had no issues with insertion/removal at 270.
  12. I went to a frou frou fancy restaurant. I got their small plate with a prawn on it. It was creepy and it had a face, but it was small enough I just blended in with the other eaters.
  13. I'm at 3 months and it's yet to start falling out. I've actually noticed my hair looking thicker and fuller (I have hashimotos and I previously experienced the thinning.). I'm hoping that my increased vitamins, protein and biotin help)
  14. I think the approval took a month, I needed a note from my Gp, blood work, psych eval and visit to a NUT.
  15. I did 1.5 weeks, but I could have went back after 1
  16. I'm 15 away from wonderland. I'm so excited, it's so close I can smell it.
  17. I tried on clothes in the normal section of the store and they fit! I nearly cried.
  18. I've lost 50 lbs and I've only gone down one pants size. I'm cool with that....the longer I can make my current clothes stretch....the better
  19. I have hashimotos/hypothyroid. I'm a week shy of 3 months out and I'm down 52 lbs.
  20. I went to a festival and the shower house was 5 blocks away. I walked there in a dress with no leggings underneath! No chub rub!
  21. I love the purge....I've worn the same size since the late 90s and my closet is ridiculous. It's nice and hat it's shrinking and I get to reinvent my wardrobe. Plus I always need the deductions at tax time!
  22. The whole AT is my goal
  23. I do day hikes, I live off the AT....lots of good hiking around here
