Hey everybody it's been awhile since I been on here I just wanted to talk about my progress I had my surgery May 21,2012 I was 271 it's now 4 months later I am 192.6 and still losing I can remember the day I reached onederland I was so happy I took a picture of the scale lol...I am 37 pounds away from goal and I am getting there slowly but surely I work out 4-5 times a week for at least a hour in the gym and sometimes it gets rough but I am determined here are some before and after pictures

Girl you look good, definitely an inspiration....I may need some tips once I have my surgery as to how you have stayed focused. Again, you look great keep up the good work.

Thank you it's not easy I fall short a lot but I try to always remember the reason I got my surgery but I can answer any questions you may have

I definitely know its going to be a struggle, but overall it definitely looks like you havent allowed falling short to totally deter you. Looking at the before to the now shows you have put in work...It is a good feeling to see that as long as we do what we need to do we can reach these realistic goals...I hope to have my surgery sometime next month and just want to be as successful as I can be because I know everyone is different. At the beginning for you was it really hard to get your liquids down, and have you had any dumping?

Looking good girl

Great job! I hope i am as sucessful as you..... How tall r u?

I have never experienced dumping and I think I thew up one time in the beginning but it was past my liquid stage the one thing I can say is Just take your time eating and drinking and when your satisfied stop don't over eat its painful and don't eat and drink at the same time at least allow a half hour apart

Great job! I hope i am as sucessful as you..... How tall r u?

Thank you I am 5 ' 7
