It feels great! I broke the stall at the end of last week and then had 1.6lbs to lose this week to make to Onederland and I made it. It's always a small victory to break a stall.

I'm glad it helps. It's tough at first and just the sudden life changes that have to be made. My doctor told me the sleeve was a tool, and It took me a while to realize that. I didn't start really...

Thank you! It's been a huge life change, but for the better. I went from wearing a size 24 pants down to a size 10. I'm still plus sized in my shirts, but I'm working hard to even out my body,lol.

I haven't posted in a while but want to update everyone. I'm just a few days shy of my 1yr surgery anniversary and I hit a huge milestone!! I'm down almost 122lbs and I finally made it to Onederland...

Thank you all for the sweet comments. It is a great feeling. I still have a ways to go, but my next goal is in sight. Onederland here I come!!! Lol

I never thought I would have lost this much weight. It's hard to even lift 100lbs and to just think that was on my body and I have been carrying it around for years. I have never been this excited....

Hi Heidi, I had a herniated disc between my L4-L5 prior to my sleeve surgery. I tired the pain injections, worked out in a lap pool, physical therapy and nothing helped. I had to have a spinal fusion...

I had my surgery in April and my cycle was crazy the first 2 months after surgery now I have one evey month, and it's worse than it use to be. I cramp more before I start then the first couple of...

I'm newly single and my sister wants me to meet this guy. I'm having doubts though because I have been treated so badly by guys and I'm still feel like I'm going to get rejected for being the fat...

Thank you and you are beautiful too. It's crazy what our world is coming to. We are trying to better our lives and yet people still feel the need to try to put us down. It's ok though I'm going to...

Yeah I have been made fun of all my life, but a guy screaming from a truck with his buddies?? That's a first, but it's ok when I got to the 3rd mile (when it got really hard) I thought of him and the...

I have not been in the gym in a couple of months. It's has been very nice here in Lousisana so I walked 4 miles on the walking/bike trail by the Red River. First day back at it and I found out new...

Congrats, you look great! By the way I LOVE the Saints jersey and LSU hat!!

I just turned 23 and once I made the choice to have surgery no one was going to change my mind. I only had one person tell me that I was to young but she is an overweight older woman that I work...

Jersey John- I have to give you credit that was a good one. I'm a Saint's fan for life,lol. I will be going to the Saints vs. Loserboys @Cowgirl Stadium and I can't wait to lose more weight so I can...

Ya'll are hilarious!! I'm known to be a smart ass but I think I was just so in shock about what my co-worker said because she's also had weight loss surgery and I don't want to act like a fool at...

So the last couple of weeks I have gotten some snarky comments. My grandmother which I know she loves me and probably didn't mean it like this told me, "I don't know if I'm going to recognize you...

Pink, I also have PCOS and my periods would be anywhere from 3-5 months a part. I also was spotting for about 4 days then went into a full period right before surgery while on the pre-op diet. It...

My dr waited 10 days before they took my staples out after surgery. He also took a chunk out of my forehead to remove some pre cancer cells. It was 6 stitches and about 2in long. I was told that for...

Thanks ya'll for explaining this. I should have probably been able to get my mind wrapped around this but it just wasn't happening last night,lol. The peroxide sometimes henders my brain from...

I called the nurse at my doctors office today to find out about how many calories I needed to be taking in. I mentioned that I have been weighing and measuring all my food. She told me I shouldn't...

I'm sure this question has already been asked, but how much protein should I be eating in a day? I'm a little over a month out and forgot to ask this question at my last appointment.

For me it was 8 days after surgery. I had my drain in for a week, so I wasn't going to have sex with that hanging off my body,lol. I still had my staples in and just made sure he nor I laid on the...

You saying smedium has just brought back lots of high school memories :-) We had a young good looking teacher and he was a wrestling coach. He always were smediums,lol.

I work in a call center so there's lots of sitting and lots of over weight people. Multiple co-workers in my office has had the by-pass and the sleeve. The people who had the by-pass years ago have...
