You are doing great. It takes a while for your head to catch up with everything. I'm almost there. I have stopped calling myself fat. :) One step at a time.

My doctor gave me a 36, but looked at me funny that I even asked him about it. He said the difference between a 34 and 36 is about half a bite. He was a really good guy, so I won't question him....
My one year was 2/6. I am beyond busy and don't always have time to get on here and say hi. Life gets moving faster after the surgery and though that is a good thing, I do miss talking to everyone.

Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to learn, so buckle up and start reading. :) I learned almost everything from this site. I asked my doctor questions that he had never heard asked before....
I was a 42, and some of those were too tight to wear, so right around your size. I'm 6ft, if that helps you picture me a little better.
Thanks again for all the comments. I will try to feel...
Welcome to the forum. I have seen this surgery help many ladies have kids, so they are probably right.
Good luck on your journey. Read and ask questions, we are all here to help.
Foods that will pass through your stomach quickly or things that you can eat a lot of before feeling full. Typically these are carb rich foods.
Examples are usually chips and popcorn. Looks at a...
You guys are both amazing. Great pictures. You can't beat the smiles on your faces.
Thank you guys for all the kind words, a few of you have me cracking up. Anyone that calls me sexy is automatically going to need a drug test.
Wayne, I am trying to actually stop my weight loss, I...
I think you are right, I don't look solid with my shirt off and I think that causes me to feel fat. I don't have terrible skin problems, but it's enough that it messes with my head.
As many of you know, we have no clue if we are still fat, skinny, chunky or what. I have lost a lot of weight, but I still feel fat.
I often go to the store and see what size I can fit in, just to...
I have lost 8,255 nickles. No wonder I feel poor. lol
Ace, that is amazing. For your split math, you have lost 2 horses that are two months old and a moped. Wow, or as you said, two people.
Yes it's a journey. Like you said, be patient, it will all come with time.
Probably. Just try to survive. The pre op diet is harder on some than going through the surgery. Hang in there.
The pre op diet is not meant to be a long term thing, so you will be miserable doing it for any length of time. It's more important to start eating less and start eating healthier foods.
Welcome to the forum, this is a great place to learn. This has changed my life in an amazing way and I'm sure it will for you as well.
This happens all the time for all of your life and you probably just never noticed it. I'm sure it's just water, because there is no way you could consume enough calories to gain two pounds over...
Is this to me? I saw Nate and thought, hmmm, who else is Nate so I opened it.
I am below goal, who would have thought that would ever happen? Not me.
You will be there soon enough.
At ten months my scars are very small. One is about a half inch long, but the rest look like tiny holes where I have had moles removed. As your stomach gets smaller, so do your scars. Most of us lost...
Great post with lots of good info. Congratulations on doing so well.
This is normal, people call it a three week stall, but it typically happens around that time frame. You need to know that this is normal and to not stress out. Just stick to the plan and know some...
I was there for three nights because I couldn't drink enough for them to let me go. They said I could leave as soon as I got in 2 ounces every half hour. So funny how that was so hard to do.
The worst I had was two months. I think at first anything over a couple of weeks could be considered a stall. As far along as you are, you have to start working for those pounds. Change up your diet...
Congratulations on getting the surgery. I think we all had to hit rock bottom before we went through with this. Just be patient with yourself and read everything you can get you hands on, and this...
That is awesome, good for you.
