Thank you Kristi! I've done pretty well so far. I did have some stomach spasms and left side pain for about two months after surgery but all of it was so worth it!! I still have a lot to lose but I feel awesome. So much better than before surgery. You will be able to for sure. The sleeve is the greatest tool. I feel so blessed!! Thank you about the hair. I did have to have 4 inches cut off because it was coming out so bad but now the hair loss is slowing down. :P

Congratulations! you've done great! 77 pounds is a lot of weight.

Great job Lisa! Your smile says it all!

Thank you ladies!! :)

Your doing great!! I had my surgery May 18th and have lost 60 pounds but hit a stall about 6 weeks ago. :( Do you stay within a certain amount or carbs, calories, and protein?

Hi, I actually hit a stall as well, I think. I try to get in at least 60 to 80 grams of protein. I usually don't eat carbs if I can help it and I don't count calories. I think if I were counting them I would be getting between 600 to 1000 a day. Somewhere in between. I hope for the both of us we break our stall soon!! I know people who have lost 100 pounds since May. I try not to compare myself but I do. :)

Left side pain for 2 months? Ohhh. I'm 3 weeks out and tormented by left sided pain. Anything help alleviate it, or did it just disappear one day?

Btw you look great!

Thank you! :)

Yes, I had left side pain and man was it hard!! I thought something was wrong. Even had a CT scan to see if anything would show why it was hurting. It didn't. So, I just started putting ice and a heating pad on there every chance I got. It seemed to get worse with exercise so I didn't move around alot when it was hurting. It did finally go away about 2 to 2 1/2 months out. There is hope... hang in there. :)
