Hello Luck, I know you don't come on here often so I hope you get this. At 3 plus years out how are your lab results? Once you hit goal did you continue to lose weight? I do not want to be real thin so this is a fear of mine. Hope to hear back from you. =)

WooHoo! Congrats!

My whole family and myself have always done the Chinese birth chart. I has only been wrong once and we think that person doesn't know what month see got prego. Try it for people who already had their babies. Just make sure the know the month and age they were and compare it to the chart. It seems that the older we are the more likely it is a girl.

Welcome to the VSG site Kristy! You will find an overwhelming amount of support here. People will be open and honest. It's a great feeling to have so many people that understand just what is going on with you and cheer you on!

Your welcome and thank you! Btw, could you pretty please post some new pic's. We would love to she what you see in the mirror! Hope that didn't sound to weird=).

It's stories like yours that give everyone not at goal yet a great big smile! I can't wait to be where you are. Congratulations! You are an INSPIRATION!!!!!

So I went to the Doc yesterday and they sent my for xrays of my upper abdominal area. Today she called and said everything looks great, no hernia. She said try doing some stretching for a week. I guess I'll give it a try.

Niki, You have a great attitude! But unfortunately for us that struggle with weight loss it's just not that easy to eat right and lose weight. You need this tool! Please look into going to Mexico! In the end the price you will pay is nothing. I paid $5200. I put it on my credit card and will pay it off with my taxes. In a year it pays for it self. Think of what you spend on food, diets, weight loss products, Dr bills you will pay for poor health. Beg, borrow, steal! Just get it done. Oh my flight tic from florida round trip was $340. If you need any info on Mexico, call me. 561-714-9946.

You are doing great too! You are already wearing smaller sizes than I am!!!! It's the craziest thing, last Wed. I weighed 183.6 this Wed. I weigh 177.2. That's more than 5lbs in a week! I've only been losing 1 - 2 lbs a week....then BAM! The only thing I changed was instead of walking on the treadmill I am swimming laps using the kick board at the YMCA.

I was feeling the same way a couple of weeks out. I started eating very thin cream of wheat with sugar & milk and I felt 100% better. Good luck.

Are you sure she was talking about hight.......I heard you guys gain it back in another area......Lol

HaHaHa...you're killing me!!!!! Soon 2b SlimDaddy.

Oh PLEASE!!! I told you that you're to much......lol

WOOHOO!!!!!!! I'm happy for you! Send me some updates.

Thank you! You soon will have your happy story to tell us =). Best wishes to you on the 22nd!

This makes me laugh because my husband is always lying about his hight. He is 6 ft on the money....I was there when the army first measured him.......but he tells everyone he is 6'2....when I point out he is lying he swears and swears he is 6'2. Men are funny!!!

Let me know if you find some!!!!!!

Thanks Anna! I will keep you posted. I have an appt on Wed. You must feel great yourself =) Over 100lbs gone....gone....gone forever!

Thank you! It is an awesome feeling! I can't stop checking myself out in the mirror...lol. I think Im going to need a new scale soon....Im wearing it out!!! =)

Thank you so much Tiff! I have been taking my sub b12. Maybe I need to get shots! I was afraid that surgery could cause a hernia so I guess its time to see the doc. And as for iron, I guess I do need to get some big girl vits...lol. I hope you don't mind, I always tell people to look you up for good info! I tell them you know the ins and outs of tricare. =) And your the best at research!!!! Thank for the big smile on my face....You rock!

Let me see what I can remember......I did a 3 day pre-op diet. Day 1 of pre-op, I cheated. Day 2 we had to take a lax, day 3 I was on the plane to Mexico. I slept most of that day bc I was nervous. The next day I had surgery, I woke from Surgery with the worst gas pain in my back and chest, I thought I was going to die. At the Clinic I felt best when I slept sitting up in the recliner I puked from the anesthesia, I always do that, I had a pounding headache, but they give you meds to put you right back to sleep =), As soon as I woke up from surgery I started walking the halls, I didn't sleep for long periods of time bc of the gas pain, so I was up walking about every hour. The next day i went to the guest house. Then the blues set in, I would cry for no reason at all, I would find myself just stairing at the wall sad. I had no pain. Except for gas. Later I found out this was Post Surgery depression. It is a side effect some people get from the anesthesia. It lasted about 1 week. Day 3 was the worst of it all! The leak test! They have you drink this stuff that taste like posion!!!!!!!!!! I cried and puked and cried and puked! The first two weeks are tuff. I slept sitting up on my couch bc of acid reflux for about 11/2 weeks, then it was gone. I haven't had it again. By a month you are feeling much better. At almost 9 weeks out I eat almost anything. Very small amounts. But for a good part of this nine weeks it has been trial and error finding out what is to much and what my body likes. My body hates Protein shakes. I haven't tried them for a few weeks, time to see if I can handle them now. Hope this helps! You might find info you are looking for by going to members profiles, then go to the post tab, then find their older post. Good luck!

Thank you! I love your screen name. =) And don't worry you will soon be here! As a matter of fact Im a slow loser, so you will prob pass me up. I am just happy for any loss. Best wishes on the road ahead.

Hello all, It has been 8 1/2 weeks and I'm down 36lbs. That's half way to goal! I'm under 180, I have not been under 180 in 6 years! =) My clothes are falling off, my butt is wide and flat, my boobs look like pan cakes, my hair is not falling out yet =), my hooker heals feel much better, I can wear my cute panties again. I still feel very fatigue everyday. But for most part I feel good. I have a sharp pain near the incision on my left side rib area. It only hurts when I try to do sit up's. I'm going to give it a few more week's and see if it just needed more time to heal. I'm going to try new vits this week. Maybe my Gummie vits are not enough and thats why I have fatigue. Does any know if surgery can give you a hernia? My next goal is 165 by Turkey Day!
