Wag woah is me day! Sad and depressed. Not really with the surgery but with life. I figured after losing some weight I'd be more attractable to the opposite sex. Lol. I know it's a selfish reason but my life goal is to get married and have kids! I'm 22 with a BA degree working full time in my career. I have everything else going for me in life. So pre surgery I thought it was bc I was too fat. Now I see a lot of people in here married' date=' happy or not, lol and realized it wasn't bc I was fat it is because I must just suck in general. There has to be someone out there somewhere right? I know I'm young I have all the time in the world. I hear that every day from friends but I'm just bummed out :(. Love all my December buddies sorry for complaining! :)[/quote']

Keep your head up girl! Some of the best times in my life happened when i was single! And as RuPaul would say......you have to love yourself before you can love someone else!!!

No word that I know of from Simply Southern. I've pm'd her a few times but no response. She has been on the site a few times but has not made any posts. Doesn't she know we're all worried about her???? I do hope she is doing well.

I think you have the right idea. I've found increasing Protein, Water, and exercise usually does the trick. Good luck.

I had to go to get a dress for my brothers upcoming wedding, June 01. I got a dress that is actually form fitting, woohoo. Went from trying size 12 on; to trying a size 10 on and ended up being in an 8. I checked the stores return/exchange policy and its 60 days. If I continue to lose and need a smaller size yet, then an exchange isn't a problem. I also realized, I don't have to leave my T-Shirt untucked anymore, to cover up. I now tuck the T-shirt in plus I can wear my daughters belt which is huge accomplishment. She is a size 3 and falls towards the end of the holes. I fall at the 2nd hole in, but that is huge and a big accomplishment. I definitely have no regrets about this surgery. It definitely is a confidence booster ;-) Tomorrow will b my 4th month anniversary and this morning I was at 166. I have 24-34 more pounds to go to be at my goal weight. I chose between 130-140 cuz I'm not sure which it will be or just be between the 2 #s. 12 pants are getting loose in the waist. Medium shirts now. Happier than I've been, since forever it seems. Ex can go to!!! I have learned so much about myself over the last 3 years w/o him in my life. I'm happy with who I am and definitely happy with what this surgery has given me, a renewed life :-)

I can't wait to be a size 8. Lol :)

I never imagined I was that small ( I still can't believe I'm using the term small when referring to myself) until I tried on dress after dress when I reached size 8. I looked at myself in one of those 3 sides (way) mirrors and boy did I have a huge wake up call. It's amazing how you could still look in the mirror and not see the actual loss until you're smacked with it. Yesterday, I definitely got smacked with the reality of what my body was truly like. What a wake up call to actually see what everyone else has been seeing.

I never thought I would be a size 8. Not even 2 months ago. You'll get there Sammi and probably sooner than you think.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
