Sweet as peaches

Hi all, had a few setbacks but overall doing well. With the right medication and lots of therapy, I am working through everything and most importantly prayer.

You guys have meant alot to me throughout this journey. I recently lost my mom who was my rock, love of my life and was extremely proud of me. I miss her so much.

Hi guys. Sorry i have been off the radar for a while i has lost over a hundred pounds from my starting weight which was 398 down to 285. Less than my surgery weight which was 379. I had a few sad moments but im recovering slowly.

Ladies, that does not look normal and if a doctor tells you its normal he should have his license revoked. That is just my opinion.

I don't know some clothes fit differently. Like yesterday i had a tank top that said 2xl which fit perfectly but then Sunday i tried on a 30w shirt and it was tight. Sw 379 Cw 318 Size 36w Size varies now 36w is loose 54dd bra is loose also

I enjoy your post as well. Mainly, because when i first came to this site most weight were from people who were in the 200's or close to 300 which I found unrelated to my journey. I wanted to identify with someone who had my weight or close to it. I search before and after pics but only a few stuck out. Then I saw your post and a few others which I checked out profiles and to my amazement I decided to follow you and a few others. @OutsideMatchInside thank you for your inspiration.

Yes, at work I usually act like I devoured a whole portion of which I know I can't. But when I'm offered food I just eat a little and save the rest.

I received pain medication through the iv after surgery I was drowsy most of the day and evening but was clear headed once that gas pain hit my body.

You might be anemic. Plus it is hot as you already know. If necessary go to the er i know copay sucks but if it gets worse go.

You look amazing!!!!! Love your style and will definitely reach that goal.

I definitely like your style which is classy and elegant. I'm 48 and I understand exactly where you are coming from. Women don't take time to find out what a man is like before hitting the sheets. Women are more careful to pick out a dress, shoes and a purse then looking for a man to date. You have to weed out the bad apples before getting to the good ones. If i start dating again I am going follow your rules.?

Let them hate because you are bringing sexy back. Your dreads and raising your family all on your own is enough to make people hate. But I am proud as a woman to see a brother doing the damn thing right. You keep on jamming.

I know how that goes. People can really get under your skin. I was getting pissed for you too when I read the comments.

Hi @Parrot I am so glad you didn't chalk up to just dehydration because most people would probably went to sleep and it would be a different outcome. Listening to your body is always important. My prayers are with you.

I'm in NYC sleeved 5/15 sw 379 cw 338 hw 398. Noticing changes in my body and overall attitude.

I don't own a scale because I would check my weight constantly for confirmation of weight loss and a second time to make sure I'm not dreaming the weight loss.

Someone call the fire department. Cause you are smoking hot. Congratulation.

Yes, i guess it would be. I am waiting to finish next month bill then i can afford it.

Oh the dreaded talking stomach i know it all to well. My stomach makes gurgling like noise and that says to that the food is going down. I get the burps, hiccups and the noises in my stomach. All normal.

I tried to get rid of Verizon television because it was killing my pockets but I have 11 months left on the contract so instead of paying the early term fee I opted to stay. I only need internet cause we don't watch tv. Here to cutting cost of unnecessary uses in our life. I love football but I haven't been watching last season. It's coming up in a couple months so maybe I will watch it while I have my tv.

Wow!!!! Impressive keep up the great work.

I love hearing about saving money and my bbf I am so proud of you focusing on the future and being the great role model for your children continued success.

That's so great. Im so stoked for you.

This is so interesting. I am looking forward to this process. You're insightful.

Throughout all that you have been through, I am proud that you had family that didn't stop caring for you. My dear sweet girl you keep up the great work. I applaud you.
