After I lost 100 lbs my 5 year old sons friend called me fat. I was humiliated and so embarrassed for my son. People do not know the impact that a simple little 3 letter word can do so much harm! I...

Let me just say I am THANKFUL that this did not and has not happened to me. I will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't. lol

You don't have to give specific numbers if you do not want but what was the cost comparison to having it done in Mexico compared to here in the US? I assume you researched the cost here and there.

Babs you look awesome! I remember it was not long after surgery when we were comparing our stories and now here we are 1 year later...and our weight loss is pretty comparable! Way to go

I just got my new pic taken yesterday for my license. My weight was listed as 260...but that wasn't even right back then. I was ashamed of my real weight so I reduced it by 20 or so pounds lol...but...

I like to take the easy way out and bake mine instead of frying it. I slice all my veggies and chicken, put them in a baking dish with taco or fajita seasoning enough water to cover the bottom and...

I definitely have replaced it with Shopping. Like a lot of you im sure, I was unable to buy the really cute clothes that I wanted to wear so badly and now I can wear just about anything I want from...

I have to admit that your story made me tear up a little bit. I am so thankful that I had no serious complications after surgery. You look fabulous and after all of the pain and suffering you went...

I love going out to eat. Mostly because whatever I order I can get 3 or so meals out of it! I am with some of the others, I just focus myself on the conversation and take little bites and make my...

The mental image of ourselves can be the biggest hurtle in itself. but I don't see myself fitting in the kid rides LOL although my 5 year old would be thrilled!

Aww thanks! I am going to Holiday World also :) I guess if there is a 250 lb limit I should be okay... I also have to get over my bathing suit fear for the water park part of it!

I have the same thoughts. In 2 weeks we are going to a theme park and I still fear..."will I fit in the seats?" I haven't attempted rides in years because of fear that I would get up there and be to...

I had to take chewable for the first 3 months. I switched to the pills for a whole month, I got so tired of taking pills and missed my little chewable treats and switched back. I just kind of think...

So I don't see anything that would aide in my weight loss? I guess ill try it for the 90 days supply and see what it does for me.

I got a 90 supply for $28 which I didn't think was to bad. But I am just not sure what benefits it is going to do for me.

Does anyone else take Fish Oil? What are the benefits of it? My dietician recommended I start taking it. I am 10 months out and haven't taken it until now. I ordered the Omega 3- Chocolate Orange...

I don't even know you and I am so incredibly excited for you!!! I found my love after my surgery also. At first I put up a wall and was afraid to fall for him because in my mind I thought "oh he only...

aww yay!!! I was so excited the first time I realized I could cross my legs without using every muscle I had to actually hold it there. lol
I now rarely sit without crossing my legs. :-) Its the...

I didn't have my surgery in Mexico. I had mine at St. Francis in Indy. I had no problems or complications. I had a little bit of regret about 3 days after surgery because it was so hard to get the...

I am about an hour and half away from Indianapolis but I had my surgery there. Good Luck :)

Can you explain the parmesan crisps please?

let me just say you were pretty before but you are SMOKIN now...congrats :) Its hard as our stomachs become less constricted and we try more and more foods...those old habits come back. I found...

my BMI before surgery was 50! EEEK. Today im at 29....ive never been so happy to be "overweight" compared to "obese" lol

Rest? what is that!? haha I am a single mom also and after I had surgery for the 2 weeks I was off work, I still took my son to daycare. Thank goodness for daycare! During the day I rested and at...

you look AWESOME!!! We are about the same size now and I started out a little larger so I have wayyyyy more excess skin. Your bikini pic definitely makes me jealous! I'd totally wear it in public if...
