Ever since I moved last year I've fallen off the wagon, hard. I moved, got a new job and started back and school and just let everything get out of control. I got a treadmill for Christmas and just...

Today is my one year surgiversary! I can't believe it's already been a year. I know my ticker says it all, but I'll give the stats anyway. Highest weight: 355. Weight day of surgery: 285. Weight this...

I was 355lbs at my first pcp appointment. She put me on a diet for insurance purposes. On my surgery date (08/13/12) I was 285lbs. Today I just hit 198.9lbs. It's taking me longer to lose 100lbs...

Since you're pretty busty you might lose a little but I think you'll still be a chesty lady! I'm losing weight in my boobs but I'm also losing weight all over so I still look as proportionate as...

You look great!

You're losing like a mad woman! ;)

Thanks to all of the pre-sleeve hoops like egd, sleep study, and cardiac clearance I've definitely met my deductible for this year!

2 weeks out can be rough. I asked myself if I made the right decision early on too, but trust me it gets easier. You'll be able to get in more liquids and if you follow your doctor's food plan you...

The bad news: Yesterday I went to the orthopedic doctor and found out I have a large herniated disc that's basically blocking my spinal canal. The doctor gave me 2 options, cortisone shots or a...

I didn't even think about the carbs. I guess I better look up the nutrition stats!

I did think about having it with milk but I figured combining it with my favorite vanilla greek yogurt would give me more protein bang for my buck and it would also add a little crunch to the yogurt....

Stuff like this just makes me wonder why the hell people are so concerned with other people's weight. Like seriously. SERIOUSLY. What does NPR care? What do the rude commenters care? It's nobody's...

I saw a commercial for special k cereal that supposedly has 10 grams of protein in it. Has anyone else heard of this, or tried it? I had the thought maybe I could crush it up and sprinkle it in some...

Did she go in for physical therapy or did it just sort itself out? Thanks and good luck to you too.

I know what you mean, I basically want to exercise to get the most out of the sleeve. Push ups and sit ups and things like that aren't my favorite, but I don't mind walking and listening to a book on...

Thanks for the kind words. :) You've done a great job with your weight loss, good luck on your journey!

Ok so I had my surgery august 13th and for the first month I was crazy exhausted and against doctors orders I didn't walk, like at all. I was also crazy emotional and now looking back on it I think I...

I was sleeved 2 days before you and I'm actually in the same boat. You're actually making me feel better cause I'm thinking this is normal? I'm getting my 60 grms of protein from food too and I can...

I just did it and it said my "true weight" is 179 lbs and as you can see on my ticker I'm going for 150 lbs. It was interesting.

Yes! I have a pair of petite length jeans that used to look like high waters on me and now they're getting caught in between my heel and my sandals when I walk! I thought it was strange haha. I also...

Yeah I already know I'll have to have the skin on my arms removed on account of the fact that I've been overweight since I was a little girl. I was well into the 300's before my surgery and even now...

I didn't have one either.

First of all, sometimes you just gotta cry it out. Second, I was in a similar boat that you were. I had to have 2 consecutive years of documentation of my weight and unfortunately I hadn't gone to a...

My dream is to be able to go sleeveless, but I've always had BIG arms so I think I'll have some major "bingo wings" going on as I lose more and more weight. A girl can still dream though!

I use one too and I never really thought about it. I usually let the bubbles settle though before I take a drink. I don't think it'll cause any harm, but I'm no professional lol.
