Thank you everyone, makes me feel better. All that matters is how I feel about myself

Follow your Drs orders during all the stages of your weight loss. Keep drinking all day long little sips. Do not freak when you stall it's your body adjusting to all the changes. Everyone stalls during the weight loss it is fine. The best advice is follow your Drs orders go to your check ups take your Vitamins and you will do absolutely fine!!![emoji6]

My husband says I look sickly in the face and lost to much weight. My highest weight was 291. When I started my journey I was 263. SW 249 now today I am 180. Dr says I lost 82 pounds since I stepped into her office and I am looking good. I was looking to loose another 15 pounds, but today someone else said I look sickly. I thought I looked good. Now concerned about loosing another pound.
I ate a cupcake when I got home. I wanted to cry

I think you look great. At the end of the day you have to get to the weight that makes you HAPPY and HEALTHY because nobody knows exactly how your body feels but you when you are having issues caused by being overweight. Keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully your husband will realize how important it is for you to reach your goal. Good Luck!!!

My nut said to me today everyone is different and we all mess up and have stalls. Just get up brush yourself off and move on you will be a success. I had my yr check up down 82 pounds and 67% of my body weight is gone. She was so pleased and so am I. Best decision I made.

You do not look sickly. I had the same comments from some people back in 2001 when I lost a ton of weight on Atkins. He's used to seeing your face a certain way. Sickly is being 100lbs overweight! Good job!

We never win with people's opinions. When we are overweight we are called names, when we lose weight we are called names. You look beautiful and keep losing if that is your goal. As long as your doctor says you are within healthy limits, keep losing. I can only see a gorgeous human in this picture.

I don't think you look sickly at all. You have not reached a normal BMI yet for your height so I would keep on losing if that's what you want to do.
Dont let others opinions dictate what you do. People get used to seeing us overweight and they don't know what a healthy weight looks like.

U look so good my stats are about the same as it's. HW 290 SW 250 CW 184. My face changes a lot . I wanna reach 175.

I think you look amazing!!!! Omg! You must feel so good too!! When my aunt lost 60lbs on Jenny Craig, she looked sickly to me but more in a Vitamin deficient/full of artificial stuff and chemicals kind of way. She lacked color in her skin. You look vibrate and have color in your cheeks. And try not to shame yourself about the cupcake. Instead focus on how good it tasted and how awesome it is you only had one!! You look amazing!

I think you look great!! Super cute! Remember you did this for you and no one else!! Congrats on your success! I also have similar stats to yours but am only 3days post-op. Your hair also looks really healthy and shiny! Youve been taking good care of yourself!

You do not look sickly- like the first response said- people get used to you heavy and will get used to you thin! I think you look great!

I had my surgery a year ago. Went in at 5am to the hospital. Surgery started at 7:45am was out by 9am. Up in room by 12:30pm walking immediately going to bathroom no swallow test needed to be done. Dr did it while I was asleep in OR. I never took one pain pill. Went home by 1pm next day. Never had any issues with the liquid diet or any of the other stages I went through.

I will say that do not take what people say to heart after you start loosing weight. As long as you feel good and you blood work is good all that matters. Today I had it hard saying I looked sickly now that I am done 82 pounds.

Best of luck in you journey to a healthier you!!!!!

Youll be fine, I had some regrets the first few days, but it passes. Look at your ultimate goal/goals. Youll eat everything you ate before, just much less of it like a normal human being. Look at my picture, does it look like I regret it?

I can not believe I am at my 1 yr anniversary already. Seems just like yesterday I was getting ready to go into surgery. I have to say best decision I made. I am down 80 pounds as of today:) My family have been very supportive from the start of my journey and I am so, grateful to all of them. I could not have done it with out them. Looking to get the other 20 pounds off and I will be at my goal I set for myself.
Congratulations to everyone on here to becoming a healthier you!!!

It was great seeing everyone on Saturday. I have to say everyone looks absolutely amazing!!!!!Congratulations, to all of you on how well you are doing. Lesile recommended to me to sign up into "Meetup group" to see if others want to get together and talk about there challenges and struggles with there Journey. Be nice to get a small social group together to support each other as we near our 1 yr anniversary of the surgery. The real challenge now starts. Have a wonderful summer and let's see if we can meet up again soon.
