GALS who started their journey over 300 lb+<br /> +

  • Popular Post
While scrolling through past postings I noticed there is" Guys who started over 400lbs" in the Guys Room. Well I believe if there is" gravy for the ?rooster" there certainly should be "gravy for the? hen " especially those of us with meatier? drumsticks. Are there challenges we face that aren't faced by our 200 lb sisters? Do we tend to lose weight faster or slower than smaller? flock members?
Weigh in my sisters, weigh in!

Hello to all! Newbie here...You all are so inspiring! I'm doing my pre-op liquid diet for 3 weeks. It's frustrating but I will continue to push forward. My surgery date is January 24 2019.
Girl, you got this! Let me know if you need any tips! 115lbs down, 8 months post op! I'm no pro, but I've been where you're at.
Update on me: just crossed into the 100’s on Saturday! Started at 301.

Very very proud of you, Tangela! Keep up your Good Work!?

Started at 343 in February 2018 when I first saw the surgeon and nutritionist. I weighed 283 the day of surgery 9/17/18 and today I am 228. You're all doing great and we've got this! Being less than 30 lbs until I'm in the 100s is craaaazy to me. Can't wait!

Hello Ladies!

It's been a while. Still trying to claw my way to onederland. But I am hoping I see it soon! Been dealing with a lot of depression, anxiety, and health wise I feel pretty blah. I have some deficiencies going on--Vitamin A, D, Zinc and iron. I am trying to be more religious with my vitamins but it is hard since they still make me nauseous. Also, I am almost always dizzy.

Goal for this year is to get and be more positive. Welcome to all the newbies and congrats on all the progress!

Hi ladies, it's been a while since I last posted. My RNY was yesterday, the 23rd. Just in recovery mode and trying to take my meds on time. Continued success for those who have been on and have just started this journey.

Good hearing from you again Nic C, don't stay away so,long, we missed you!
Hey guys. Just wanted to check in with everyone! I seem to be stalled a little at 232ish. Ugh. A little over 100# down though! Everyone seems to be progressing well on here! I have found that I cannot tolerate 99% of meat and the vitamins made me sick so I am trying to get protein in with beans and quinoa and the few meat sources I can eat. I have started doing the vitamin patches which is really a God send!

Fast forward to today and I gained weight back. I was up to 336.
