Thanks ladies! My parents have always called me big mama. Last weekend, my dad was saying "lil mama come here." I thought he was talking to my daughter! After calling "lil mama" 3xs he said "Mercedes, you don't hear me calling you?!" ???? ???? I'm not that small!! Soon, though, God willing!

hello!! Congrats on you weight loss u look great how long u had surgery?

I had my surgery dec 4th 2014. The first surgery I had was rny and I had complications (extreme pain) because my intestines weren't put right. My surgeon had to revise to a sleeve on March 16th 2015. So I had two surgeries and had to go through all the stages 2x. I am 8 pounds from goal in six months due to this.

It's been tough but totally worth it in every way!!

You look great!! Did you have any stalls? After I lost 84 pounds I just can't seem to lose anymore ???? I still have 40 more to go to get to my goal.

@@bellabloom that gives me hope and inspiration! My highest weight was 247 at surgery day I was 220 and have dropped 25 lbs in 2 months. I can't wait to see me get to that size. I'm 5'6 as well and goal weight of 130-135. I'm 36 years old and hoping my skin will play nicely with my weight loss! Congratulations on your weight loss!!

I haven't had any stalls but I rarely eat more than 500 calories a day. I'm not suggesting you do this- I do because I am dealing with a very very restrictive sleeve and still figuring out what I can eat. I also have very severe gerd.

My intake is starting to go up however as I recover. I'm going to lose to 130 and then do what I have to do to stop the weight loss because I don't want to go any lower. Technically my surgeon set my goal at 135 but I feel I'd be happier with 130.

I've lost 2-5 pounds a week constantly. Sometimes I lost as much as 7 pounds. I haven't been able to exercise but I'm fairly active due to my job.
