  1. STAY SAFE EVERYONE!

  2. So after over a month I decided to weigh in.... HIT MY GOAL! Figured I had gained honestly with all the weight training...

     

    Now what?

    Considering plastics...... But is it really worth the money/risk? Yeah I will feel better ( I think) but vanity is not everything.

     

    Stuck in limbo..

  3. Feeling cute had to!

  11. 1 year anniversary from the start of my journey. My very first apt with my surgeon. At my highest weight. And then now, post op 5 1/2 months. Life feels amazing and everything has changed. couldn't feel better! Down 100 lbs!!!! Seems crazy.....

      Great job! May I ask, if there is one, what was the tipper when you choose to go with a bypass versus a sleeve?

      I wanted that extra tool of the dumping to be honest. I have been able to stay strictly sugar free since surgery and wouldn't want it any other way. I don't even try to push it to see what I can handle and what I cant. Not worth it to me to even try.

      To me the sleeve doesn't stop you from eating what you would normally eat before surgery. So I could go right back to my bad habits once I was healed. NO THANKS! With the bypass you really cant do that with out FEELING IT!

      Plus for me after surgery I DO NOT CRAVE THOSE BAD THINGS! I do have moments where I think I ate to much and I def feel my pouch yelling at me and I throw it up. Have had horrible gas pains with eating certain foods. But my lifestyle is working and I cant even imagine eating that "crap" I was before. It doesn't even smell good to me now.

  12. I BROKE MY ONE WEEK STALL AND HIT ONEDERLAND!!!!!!! AWESOME WEEK?

      Congrats. I am closing week 4 tomorrow. Not sure if i hit a stall or the scale hasn't moved because i haven't been able to produce a BM since Friday (today is Wednesday) and this Friday marks 30 days since my last cycle and i am anxiously waiting LOL.. Something has to give!!! Somewhere!

      I was hoping to see the scale move this past week but it was exactly the same. For the rest of that day it really messed with my head and made me feel all sorts of emotions. But didn't stop me still hitting the gym daily and sticking to what I know to do.

      I thankfully haven't had issues with BM's. When I was drinking protein shakes I had horrible issues but now that I take all my protein in through my food and homemade protein shakes that my surgeon told me about I don't have any issues. That really sucks you have to deal with that. Really not a good time.

  15. Haven't hit a stall but this week with only a 2 lbs loss after hitting the gym for 5 days is really getting to me.

      I had a stall for 2 weeks, lost a couple pounds, then started the gym and now I'm stalled again!

      Think of your gym time not for weightloss but as preplastic surgery. I promise the more you work out (whether you lose fat or gain muscle through it) the better your skin tone, tightness and elasticity will look in the long run... (Learning that now, too late after taking a break from the gym during a recent very active losing phase, I HAVE TO GO BACK)...

      YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!!

  16. Addicted to that gym life... LOL

    Idk why before I didn't want to go but now OMG best feeling ever.

  19. Day 3 pre-op diet. Finally past the head hunger games. OMG that was kind of rough. But glad that it  is gone. Not even feeling hungry today. I got my breakfast protein shake down but other than that not feeling like I need anything else.

  20. Pre-Op started today......
