Completely agree. I am single and I know i've been turned away for being overweight but then I also know I have criteria I look for in a man as well....baldness was a no but as I get older I think its about the person, but there does have to be something whether it be on the inside or outside of that person I am completely attracted to. I'm not even sure, once I'm done losing weight that I'll be attractive inside or out.... and not sure if I want to put myself out there, if it happens it happens.

I too went on a cruise about a month ago. Obviously food is a big time plus for cruisers. Breakfast was easy i made sure i had scrambled eggs and a small portion of meat, one strip of bacon or sausage. No bread. lunch and dinner I had smaller portions but ate what I wanted including dessert. Its vacation. What made the difference for me was not taking the elevator unless I had to. I took the stairs everywhere to work those bad choices off. I gained no weight on my cruise and even had a few drinks.

Congrats to everyones successes....keep up the great work!!! I was sleeved 7/16.... when i started process in April I was 265. Last few days i'm stuck at 201 and just dying to be under 200 for the first time in I can't remember. Didnt feel well last week - so goal this week is to really hit the gym in addition to walking as much as possible during the day (I am blessed to work in a super large building that allows me to get those steps in!).

Does anyone elses stomach make super loud noises at night like mine does? I feel like its hunger pains but then again i'm not really that hungry. Theres alot of swishing and wierd noises coming from in there and I don't know why. Stan is loud. (yes i named my new stomach)

July 16th here.... down 40 since surgery day.... I feel like it has been slow and steady. Sometimes I stay at the same weight for a few days then after that I go down about 2 lbs here and there. I eat pretty much whatever I want yet being smart with food choices, obviously Protein is most important. I also make sure I walk alot each day and/or go to the gym. I think 2 months out, almost 3 at 40 lbs down since surgery i'm satisfied that I will continue my journey and reach my goal

I am 45.... divorced with 2 adult kids (college kids), had done in July and its been awesome. I had no hesitation having it done. Really only thought about doing it in March of this year and began the process in April. I truly didnt know it was an option with insurance until learning about it. Once that initial appt. I had all preop tests done within a month and surgery was 7/16. I am down 44 lbs since April, 27 since surgery day. I have so much more energy and I can breath without huffing and puffing!!!! I fit better in clothes and its amazing to see gradual transformation.

I weigh in everyday... i'm a little neurotic about it, I probably shouldnt but I do.... I do it every morning as they say first thing in the am is always your lowest.

Does anyone know how to update your current weight on here??? Are you meant NOT to after your initial stats? I'm not talking like every day but its been weeks since I've been on here and i'm down about another 15 lbs.....

You don't have to divulge anything to anyone if you don't feel like it only those who need to know. PPl at my job i only discuss with those I care to know, any others can mind their own business. One coworker even saw that i lost 30 lbs already and our work gets a gym discount so I signed up and she offered to pay for a few sessions with a personal trainer........ thats the caring kind. Other than that, you do you!!!!! and you'll be fine.

I like baby rice Cereal everyone says ew. Not the premade in jar but the flakes u mix w Water or no fat milk. Ppl think I'm strange lol. I've done canned chicken salad in water..... mixed with heart healthy mayo. 90% lean ground beef cooked in beef broth then added sloppy joe mix which only has 35 cal per serving. Scrambled eggs with salsa. All were tolerated and instead of purée I was instructed to chew the hell out of things which I do.... mind you, can only eat about 3 small spoonfuls and I'm full. Going to have Soup for dinner :). No sugar pudding is glorious as a snack. Someone on another thread mentioned egg salad.... obviously with the light mayo.... must try!!! Stage 4 in 5 more days yayyyy

My first consult was April 10th..... I had all my appointments done by mid may. All results submitted to insurance and a week later I got my surgery date of July 16 which was perfect timing since I work in a high school. So it was quick I thought
