Congrats on the awesome job. be prepared for everyone to start telling you ...... You need new clothes.... My first time around (banded 2009) i shopped a lot at second-hand stores.... It was a very smart move. Got down to a size 6 and stayed there for years. So i bought "good" stuff and wore them for years. Then i lost my band in 2017 and put on 30lbs over the next 2.5 years.... Sleeve 8/28/19 at 173lbs. Now those size 6 that i'm so glad i didn't get rid of are too big... so now i'm slowly but size 2's and 4's. Today's weight 125 and holding.

If it makes you feel better, my close friend Jessie had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and couldn't get prego. Then she had the GB and bam..... last year she had her second beautiful healthy baby. She is back down in weight also.

opposite... i could eat more with the band.

well i sleep naked.... so no clothes to take off..... hehehe..... I have tried to stop, but i can't. If there is a scale, i will step on it. It sits right in front of the toilet... and it taunts me... It tells me ..... You know you want to know... I have even tried to move it around the house..... i simply go to it and then eventually bring it back to it's place. ughhhhhhh..., it's the devil i tell ya.

go on to youtube and watch her post. Balloon BoyMom i thought about it because my BMI wasn't enough to revise to the sleeve at the time...

Most every day since 2009 i have done the exact same thing..... I wake up, get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, pee, and then step on the scale. (except when on vacation). Anyone else?

My personal favorite..... Thin mint.... a good friend called me that.... i rather enjoyed it.... hehehe

This is correct. I have known this to happen. Some dr.'s tell their patients to stop.... and before sx, if they show positive on the test.... cancel

wow!!!!! great job

Welcome and congratulations.

hold on.... how do i get on the "invite" list.... I use to be a bartender (younger years) and make some mean drinks.... I mean in case you are needing...... I'll volunteer as tribute.

Work, I work for a roofing company and except for the 2 week quarantine... i have been going to work everyday.

thank you.... it's been a long road.... started back in 2009 at 232lbs with band... ER removal 2019 at 143lbs..... Revision 2.5 years later at 173.5lbs. Today (weight in profile pic) 126lbs.

Agreed..... had mine out before my WLS

I am sooooooo Jelly....

thank you....... a few.... hovering around 125.... i was floored when i put on the size 4 and tim said.... they are too big for you. I was like.... shut the fk'en door... hehehe... he was right... 2P I haven't been a 2 since my twenties.....

Tim and i went shopping yesterday.... As much as i hated him spending all that money..... I do love what was bought. Dillards: Size 2P https://www.dillards.com/p/nydj-petite-size-chloe-cuffed-capri-jeans/510654296 Size Small https://www.dillards.com/p/vince-camuto-flutter-sleeve-watercolor-print-button-down-blouse/511055397 Size 6.5 https://www.dillards.com/p/michael-michael-kors-mk-plate-thongs/508830722

I was going to suggest Milk shakes... but you said you can't tolerate milk. Can you drink soy, almond or coconut milk? If so, maybe try making shakes with those. I know if i eat ice cream even a few bites... i gain. So i have to stay away.

insert... Clapping.... Happy happy Birthday we're so glad you came, happy happy birthday from the BP gang. We're so excited we hope that you are too..... so Happy happy birthday from the BP crew..... Ok, yes i spent many years waitressing and yes many were at Shoney's..... But seriously, i hope you had the best birthday ever and you look..... Fkin hotttttt and well Hottttt.

you are sooooo sweet. I need a tan like.. REALLYYYYY bad. You know the saying..... if you can't tone it, Tan it tan fat looks better than white fat

Insert sexy voice........ What are you wearing... Jake from BP?.... ummmm lycra... You look amazing..... those legs are incredible...

well she is about 5'6" and she got to a size 2-4... which was skinny.... over the years... now she back to about a size 14ish.... i would say she put on at least 50lbs.... Her SX retired. So check with another and it doesn't look good. She is a bit up in age... 60 i think

banded 11/10/2009, TT w/MR and lipo to flanks 3/2012 .... i never ever regretted it. Even after band removal 3/2017 and putting back 30lb in the 2.5 years with no WLS..... Sleeved 8/28/2019.... and i think the TT held up pretty good. Not perfect in my eyes, but my husband is not complaining and i can still wear a bikini....
