    I really enjoy my Fitbit, it can be such a motivation. I did not realize they had a forum - I will have to check it out!

    It is so cute, enjoy it! I bought a new swimsuit back in February, but I am hoping once it gets closer to swim time, I will need something smaller yet. (Fingers crossed!) I personally don't think I could ever buy a swimsuit online - I am too awkwardly shaped, I need the easy access to exchange if needed. I hope it works out for you!

    I personally do not think it is worth it at your size. You are already so close to your goal! I say just keep trying, and you can get there without having to go to such an extreme option.

    Thanks you two - this makes me feel a lot better! I guess I expected to lose a lot more, I really need to quit comparing myself to others lol.

    It looks like to me for your starting weight you are right on target. Someone gave me this to use as a guide and it’s been pretty accurate. Hopefully it’s helpful to you n

    Yes, me. I'm 45lbs down too. I lost 16lbs on my 2 week preop so I count it! Because Lord knows I wouldn't have kept it off without surgery. I have been able to eat pretty much anything since surgery. I use MFP to track my food. I also workout regularly with lots of strength training. Being almost 6 months out now I'm nervous the weight loss is going to sloooowww even more. I will say I haven't had any serious stalls yet.

    anl1990 got a reaction from CESILEYRAE in HOW FAST CAN I RETURN TO WORK POST VGS?   
    I returned after about 2.5 weeks. I am a teller at a financial institution, so I have some (somewhat) heavy lifting. My husband works at a call center, and took about the same amount of time off for his as well. I think it truly depends on the person - just listen to your body. You'll know when you are ready.

    anl1990 got a reaction from RJL19 in Uncomfortable   
    My husband was pretty uncomfortable the first few days. We don't have a recliner, so we kept him propped up with pillows, and then I also got him a heating pad. Pressure on his torso seemed to help, too (he kept a binder the hospital gave him and layers of covers on him). I didn't have the same problems, so I guess I was one of the lucky ones. Best of luck, I hope you get to feeling better soon.

    I would recommend Torrid for a good bralette. My friend has a problem of dealing with larger breasts, and she absolutely loves their bralettes. Plus, they are super cute and super comfortable!

    anl1990 got a reaction from claricey in Need encouragement from slow losers   
    I am losing fairly slow as well. I just try to remind myself the doctor said I am still right where I should be, and focus on the non scale victories. The last time I went in for a visit, I found out I have lost 10 inches around my waist since surgery! I know it is hard, but just try to embrace the little things. Every little bit counts. <3
