of course you can!!! it´s a matter of keeping your new eating habits and exercising. this is not a temporary thing, this is a change for lifetime. plus you will be so happy with your new weight that you won´t even want to go back to your old eating habits!!!:thumbup:

sorry to hear, hope you get better news in the future.

don't give up or maybe you could reconsider a new goalweight, for example instead of 136 make it 140? more realistic? oh well, whichever way, keep it up, don't give up!!! you can do it.

let it go, let it go, let someone else use it, someone else who may need it.....you need to get new clothes and feel good in it.....think positive, you know your surgery will work, don't be afraid to buy new clothes, you'll feel wonderful!!! :thumbup:

i think you should lower your calorie intake and increase your walk to 2 miles, do you think this is going to be difficult for you?

mini goal??? you mean SUPER goal!!! congrats and keep it up!!!:devil_smile:

you can say that again!!! that's the way we need to be positive at all times. keep it up!!!:devil_smile:

CONGRATS!!! what an accomplishment....just goes to show us that everything is possible and that everything we set our mind to, we can do!!! thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I definitely would, so go for it....you've got your information straight then trust it. goodluck

goodluck and keep it up!!! the first few days are a bit difficult, but then you start getting the hang of it. wish you the best.

i definitely think you should tell your mom. more if you consider her your bestfriend, do you think she will not approve or do you think she will get upset because you didn't tell her? whichever way she is your mom and she will always be there to support you. so just like you told your husband, i think your mom should be part of this as well. if you don't want to tell anyone else, then don't because they are not as close to you as your mom and your husband are. whichever way goodluck and welcome to the loser's bench!!! please keep us posted.

congrats, time flies and before you know it you'll have a set date. goodluck with your pre-op diet, be patient and i wish you the best.:frown:

lol nice way of putting it.....in the end, whatever works for you and whatever is best for you. if you're happy with that plan then go ahead.....congrats.:frown:

i've heard that people who don't eat breakfast, get bad breath. do you eat breakfast everyday? try it and see if there's some positive result. goodluck

i didn't have any pain, but it could be a good idea, try those pads, or something that holds your tummy tight....

hi stacey welcome.....whatever help you need, please feel free to ask.....do you already have a doctor in mind?

i totally agree with you, thanks for writing this, because there are so many out there that get frustrated and lose hope and all we need to do is get up and burn calories, either walking, dancing, lifting weights.....etc. any form of exercise is good!!! congrats and keep it up.:tongue2:

oh yes definitely, i expect more of myself.....i know i need to take better care of myself and i can't let down all my effort with my surgery.

do not lose hope.....keep it up, before you know it you'll see the results and you will feel happy again.

goodluck, you're on your way to more weight loss and a new you!!! Godbless and please keep us posted.

yes you can do it!!! you can do this and you can do more.....it's a matter of having faith and keeping your mind focused.....wish you the best of luck, keep it up and you'll keep seeing more positive results.

if you're looking for a surgeon, i definitely recommend Dr. Aceves - he's excellent and very professional. goodluck with your process.

it took me about a month to stop feeling sad and strange. i started taking long walks during the morning and that really helped me, and if i wanted to cry, i'd cry until i felt better.

another thing you can do, is if you know you're going to go overboard on your eating, then you need to include some form of excercise and be sure to burn some calories. besides you'll feel less guilty.

hi, i am glad you have taken the decision to go ahead with the surgery. By what you say you are at risk, and the good thing is you're doing something about it. Be patient it's sort of a long process but if you are constant you will be very successful. Goodluck and please feel free to write anytime. :thumbup:
