  1. 5lbs away from goal but am completely happy with where I am right now! I can’t believe how far I’ve come!
  2. At 6 weeks that is fantastic!! I don't think that is slow at all. I really just followed my Doctors orders. Protein based diet and I work out 3 times a week. I will be honest also do not prohibit a treat occasionally and that is promoted by my Dr.! That way I never feel deprived
  3. I have PCOS was diagnosed over 15 years ago. I have had fast weight loss according to my doctor. I had surgery 2/9/18 and to date am down to 145lbs. If you have any questions let me know. I have lost over 75% of my excess weight!
  4. I was so excited when I got into VS bras. My be advice is to not buy to many. I now have a bunch of expensive bras that are at least two sizes to big!
  5. I plan on getting plastics. I was a full tummy tuck I have so much loose skin there. And I would like a breast lift. My boobs are very sad these days. lol My doctor said he would be comfortable with my proceeding with plastics at 14 months!
  6. I had a boca burger with a piece of swiss cheese. It is my favorite.
  7. I’m annoyed by this to. I was using Carmel as a creamer for my coffee but I have not found it in months. Vanilla is just not the same in coffee.
  8. I think I belong here! I am doing good. I just had my Dr. appointment and they told me I have lost 75% of my excess weight. That felt good to hear. I am so very close to my goal weight and will probably be in maintenance soon. I am excited to start my next journey into the world of plastics as soon as my doc okays it. As far as hair loss goes it was bad around 6 months but has leveled off now. I chopped my hair when it was at its worse!
  9. I am a lesbian sleever. I had my surgery back in 02/18.
  10. I have almost hit the 100lb lost mark. I still have weight to lose in my belly but everywhere else is skinny. It can be frustrating.
  11. I love Kevin Smith! I think he looks great. I’m not sure if he had surgery or not. It’s not unusual to keep it private. I keep mine private besides from close friends and family.
  12. Images added to a gallery album owned by Krista27 in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos
    Krista, a weight loss surgery photo album by Krista27 on BariatricPal. 1 photo in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos.
  13. I am not sure why my team is insistant about it. They have been since I was pre-op. I never have been a breakfast eater. I like to do coffee in the morning with a little premier mixed in. But they also want me to get out of the protein shakes.
  14. My breakfast. It’s one egg and turkey sausage link mixed in. I’ve been really struggling with eating breakfast but my team is insisting I get better at it.
  15. My surgery was 2/09/18. I feel like I am doing well. Super happy with the weight I have lost so far. Its on my ticker. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 11. Skin is a problem for me. I have currently been stalled for over a month so I have upped my workout routine.
  16. I didn’t tell anyone at work and I go into the office maybe once a month. I work from home. People at work really notice since I’m not there everyday and every time they see me I’m smaller. I’ve had people ask me and I just explain smaller meals high protein and lots of water.
  17. I was thinking the same thing and was kinda bummed. I thought I was done losing. I had stayed at the same weight for over a month and a half. But then I jumped on the scale today and had last 5lbs. I just feel like I am losing at a much slower speed now.
  18. I have this issue as well. I went from a 42DD to now a 34D. I am sure it will go down even more. I am horrible and get all my bras from VS. It is the one thing I will spend money on.
  19. So lets do a face to face Friday! I also had some non-scale victories this week. My daughters teacher from the last 2 years did not recognize me! And my fitbit is on the last notch so I need to get a size small band now! Geez I really hate the older picture. I can finally stand to have my picture taken now though!
  20. This is me kristanles
  21. No they were pre-made ones Hyvee sells. I wanted to try them before buying a zoodle maker!
  22. I am just wondering how long everyone had to continue to take Prilosec after surgery? I am still taking it and if I miss it I sure can tell. My reflux isn't horrible but it bothers me without meds.
  23. I just recently got my hair cut. I have always had very very thick hair. Thankfully no one notices but me. I love my new shorter haircut and now that I have lost weight I don't hide behind my long hair!
