Grace, you have way more restraint than me! I think that woman was a classless idiot and deserved to be called out on her comments. You handled the situation with such "grace" :) but, I do believe a...

Hi Tabby,
I love it! Isn't that a wonderful feeling? I'm still a work in progress in that department but I'm getting there.
Best of luck for continued success.

Hi Dawn,
My weight loss has been slow and steady - and that's the way I like it! Just know that your that moving closer to your goal and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes for...
Haven't been writing much lately but I have a few things to mull over. I've heard other women discussing getting attention and now it's starting to happen to me. The strange part is instead of being...
You look awesome! And too old? How is that possible - 50 is the new 40 (or something like that).
Mary :)
Hello Jessi,
Oh boy can I relate to you! I have been frustrated as well but...I did get advice that has really helped me out (thank you Grace!). I started doing "2 days low carb" which has been a...
Hi Mary,
Can you share what specifically that you regret? I know from personal experience, naming the issue gives me a sense of freedom and takes away the stress. I did briefly regret the VSG for a...
Hi Shirley, Just curious about your friend and her sleeve failure. What happened?
Mary
That's wonderful! You have a chance to clear up the misconceptions about VSG and how it's changing lives. I know you're probably nervous (I know i would be!) but just remember we're all here pulling...
Hello Haley!
Welcome to a wonderful forum. Anything you need to know, you'll probably find it here. We've all "been there, done that" in one way or another.
Best of luck to you in your journey!...
You look marvelous! And I bet you feel marvelous too :)

I am still using up my 180 tablet supply of Bariatric vitamins. Not sure what I'll do once their gone - probably try a regular multi-vitamin and see how that goes. I was told by my bariatric doctor...
Hello Tori,
For my routine, I lift weights 3x a week. I also walk my dogs, scrub the bathroom, do yard work, etc. for cardio. I wear an exercise/heart monitor while I'm exercising ~ it's amazing how...
Hi McKenzie,
I guess my first thought I don't think your Grandma meant to be sassy. Now your co-worker, that's another story. It seemed like one of those "comments with a smack attached to it". Now...
Grace, Thanks so much for sharing ~ I totally appreciate the progress post. Keep up the good work & keep on losing!
Mary :)
Good luck to you! Consider 5/11 your date of "rebirth". Prayers are being sent to you for a speedy recovery ~ keep us posted on your progress.
Mary :)
You have allot of valid questions to address. One thing you will find in this forum is honesty & plenty of support - no matter what you decide. You should make your decision on what works best for...
Wow, not THAT's a story you don't hear every day! I admire the surgeon for being up front and telling you what he had done. I also had a hernia repaired and it was painful to say the least. However,...
Hi Wendy,
I really appreciate your positive posting. It puts things in a much more "it will happen" kind of light. I wonder if you could indicate what your losses were by month. It might help those...
I could not agree more, Kay! I write down and account for everything and I will probably always have to.
Mary :)
I love it! Yay for you...and your poo.
Mary :)
Hi Grace,
I think this sounds like exactly what I've been looking for! I've trying to keep low carb every day but it seems to backfire - the weight loss stalls and I'm left frustrated. Thanks for...
Hello from one Mary to another...
Consider 5/9 your "rebirth"! Best of luck to you and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Mary :)
I know from personal experience, change can be difficult under any circumstances. However, you're on a new path in life and I'm excited for you. I also think that sharing your story will help others...
Hi Suzie,
Congrats on reaching Onederland!
As far as the 5 day pouch test, it definitely got me back into losing mode. I think the trick for me was just cutting down on carbs and exercising...
