AngelEyesInNJ you look awesome! Are you exercising a lot? What is your routine and what are your favorite foods? I am 19 days out and seem to be stalling at the moment.

We are very close in stats. How much are you losing weekly? What types of food are you eating? My goal is the same and SW 182

Hey! Umm, honestly I eat whatever I want and I drink alcohol too. Which is bad I know but I really have no consequences, I'm still losing a pound a week and that's what I expected to lose being that I was a low bmi. People tell me I don't need to lose much more but I know I am cause I want to be smaller. Everyone notices that I've lost a good amount of weight and it's very rewarding. I always make sure I eat Protein first whether it be meat or cheese but I do eat chips and bad stuff I shouldn't. I think I became lactose intolerant because I tried to eat ice cream and I had bad pain and diarrhea. It was awful. But I probably don't get all my Water in either and that's the worst part. I need to improve on that a lot.

Thank you!! In the beginning you will hit stalls here and there...but honestly I wish I would have worked out within the first six months when the weight was falling off more or less by it self. I didn't start hitting the gym until 6.5 months out and I have been working on it since. It takes dedication but I love it, I feel so much better after a work out..and all I do is normally an hour to an hour and a half of cardio on the elliptical ( any where from- days a week) and then 3 times a week I do strength training for my upper body and core a half an hour of this. I know I am going to need plastics done though but trying to tighten whatever I can.

I will also say as much as many love to watch the scale I would say just pick one day a week to weigh in.

As far as foods.. I have been a bad girl.. I need to start drinking my Protein again because I am not hitting my Protein goals and I know if I do up it, my weight will probably start coming back off at a more steady pace. I do tend to eat a lot of chicken and eggs ( I do not eat fish or other meats ) but I have days where I eat high carbs which I know people say we shouldn't but I am still human and I am not going back into my old habits (which could be easy with some slider foods out there).

I wish you the best of luck and I can not wait to see your amazing transformation!!! :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
