I am a 32 year old female. I have five children, ages range from 3 to 13 years of age. My weight has fip flop over the years. As a child i was small and tiny my weight in high school was between 120 lbs to 130 lbs. After my first child at 19 year of age I was 160 lbs.. I had no problems losing after my second child, I got back to 140, but my third child i really pick the weight up after giving birth i was 191 lbs at 5'5 i just looked thick, but i had a hard time losing i never got back down to 160 again after that. My weight with my fourth kid was 232 lbs, by my fifth child i was 267 lbs. After, my fifth child my weight was 300lbs. I knew I had to do something about it, I tried many different weight loss plans, nothing worked on may 21,2013. I went in the op room weighing 300.00 lbs. I was a candidate for VSG. As of july 2, 2014 I weigh 134.6lbs. I have pass my goal weight of 160 lbs. I cant seem to stop!!! I am worried!!!

I was looking for a way to out my feelings about my weight loss journey after VSG. Today I have decided to write about how people treat you before and after weight loss. The difficulties going out to eat, because you cant buy a smaller portion or you cant order from kids menu eating in.

1. how do people treat you?

In the past i felt invisible and i felt a shame. I have the same personality i am the same me although i feel like people are nicer to me. I feel some kinda way about that. I truly now notice how surface people are in todays society. It is so sad.

2.Restaurants do not cater to weight loss patients at all. The portions given are to big.

doggie bag! my kids love when we go to a restaurant because I bring home half. either they eat it or I have for next day

I just want to say I am so inspired! I too am 5'5 and my weight loss goal is 135. I am one month out and down 25lbs or so. You are at a perfectly healthy weight for your height and you look great! Congratulations!

You look beautiful. And you seem to be a good weight for your height right now. I'm the same height and my surgeon said that a good weight for someone 5'5" is right around 135! Talk to your nutritionist if you are concerned about your weight loss and need suggestions on maintenance.

Congrats on the weight loss!

That's great. And it's really refreshing to here your wonderful journey with loosing the weight . I just had the sleeve surgery on June 11th and I've lost 20 lbs so far . Right now I'm on the fourth week and I've stopped loosing. I'm a little discouraged and I hope that I will start to loose more weight. I'm pretty much stick on what to do next. I'm following the diet plan that my surgeon authorized . Will I loose more weight soon? Please help with any advise. I sure need it.
