Hi, oh God I almost cried reading this post. I was so sad. This was years ago but the same hurt was still there like this was yesterday. I pray things are better for you. I continue to pray. Its been 4 1/2 years n i have gained maybe 13 lbs - 16 lbs back. I have added pics for update

Thank you as well for the compliment, u r too sweet????

You are too kind... thank you???

Thank you girl I appreciate it???

Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it????

Thank ypu so much... its an ordeal daily to remember to get in my protein, but i make it happen... good luck to u as well

Hi , how are you... I am currently 16 months post op and my weight is 147 lbs., My clothing size is a 2 - 4 ....... my weightloss was so slow then it started literally melting off... so stay focused n keep pushing. Im attaching a photo for an update... dont lose sight of the goal, be blessed.

Thank you sweetie abd good luck with Your surgery. Stay focused on improving yourself internally as well as externally.

ONG, hello gorgeous goldenbarbie.... I do remember wanting that sandwich, lol. So badly. But yes, i do thank you for the compliment sweetie. You look amazing as well.

Well thank you and you all motivate me as well and so many on here have encouraged me in very dark moments so I am very appreciative.

Thank you girl...I am happy with life right now!

Thank you so much. I hit the ground running as soon as I was cleared to do abdominal exercises... if you followed my posts , you will see that I posted an abdomen routine that my son gave me and I followed it to a T. However, I still have a little area of loose skin in my thigh area. So I’m not perfect but I’m okay with that. I was t perfect before the surgery either ?. Take it one day at a time and if worst comes to worst and your tummy has been stretched out too much, consult with a plastic surgeon about a tummy tuck. Good luck and congrats on your loss. Keep up the good work sweetie.

Thank you... this has really been easy for me the physical part it’s just that I have gone through a lot emotionally since surgery..... my husband was not that great anyways n when I had surgery he really started being really ugly to me and then I found out he had been having an affair for the past 13 years .... so I divorced him. So I have been in an emotional roller coaster , but I thank God for his mercy and strength that he has given me.

Thank you and you will do great ... stay focused

Thank you so much

Thank you and no I have not had hair loss at all.

Well thank you .... I don't have much loose skin at all... I lost just about all of my butt so there is some flaccidity there but it's bearable.

lol, well thank you so much ....n thank u for keeping me in your prayers, that's so good to hear and it's people like you that keep me uplifted. ???

I'm blushing .... n thank you so much . Also u will do great... stay devoted to the plan . I never ever thought in my life I wud go from a size 16 to a size 4 or size 2. I feel amazingly proud of my accomplisjememt not just because of the physical but because of the inner pride I have gained . Stay focused n can't wait until you message me that u have reached goal .

Hottttttttt!

I think strength training with bands would be good. I'm not a fitness buff so I'm not so sure what else but I used just my elliptical and ab exercises and squats to help me. But you may wanna do a free session with a personal trainer and then just do the tips they give you on that free session. I wish you the best and I don't think you are to far gone at all.

Thank you so much

You ate so welcome ... anytime !

Sure .... breskfast -- premier protein shake or Greek yogurt with 15g protein or boiled egg with 2 slices of turkey bacon lunch - ready made tuna pack with laughing cow cheese or 1.5 oz grill chick breast with 1/4 cup Brussel sprouts or small chili at Wendy's snack- premier protein shake or protein go pack from Walmart with meat, cheese, n nuts dinner- salmon and spinach or ground turkey pattie with squash or something similar hope this helps and I also drink like 72 oz of water n also about 20 oz of Powerade zero and I do drink Starbucks coffee with the protein that's in s can but I do that like once a week.

Thank you ... y are you not able to reach your goal? I don't eat much at all . I still eat maybe 3 oz of food n I'm filled to the rim so sometimes I don't even eat that much so I still make sure I get in my shakes daily at least 1 or 2 .
