You look amazing Kenson!!! Wow and one pound from goal - you go girl! Yeah, I can't believe its a year later and here we are - two success stories! It's good to see you! :)

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted in a while, just been busy with work and life. But I did want to take the time to celebrate my one year Sleeve Anniversary (January 13) and let you all know that ...

I haven't updated my ticker. I've been at goal for a while and ready for that plastic surgery to get rid of the extra skin!
I'm needing a lower body lift and wondered if anyone has seen Dr. Sauceda...

Jenn:

The first 2-3 months SUCK! Truly they do! You will be starting a new relationship with food. You will feel awful that you can't turn to that "old friend" to find solace as you work through...

Each Body is different. Don't compare yourself to the others, you'll hate every minute of the journey.
It DOES get better! You will feel better... you will lose the weight... Trust me on this one....

You can do it! I had to do 2 weeks of liquid. If I can do it - anyone can!
I warned everyone around me that I was going to be a B!tch... so they were forewarned!

Drink what you want, get full -...

I did the same thing. The first two months, I really didn't lose much - it included 3 weeks of losing nothing!

I decided to just follow the plan and let the plan work for me in its own good...

I had the same issues. I was taking Omeprezole which is 20 mg a day - I was told to up it to 40 mg a day and that's made all the difference.
It's over the counter but prescription strength and can...

Way to go! There is nothing like going from the Woman's Plus sizes to the REGULAR Misses sizes huh?
I love that dress on you! Congrats!

Congratulations!!! What a HUGE milestone! I have watched your posts and they really helped me decide to have the surgery.
I'm so very delighted for you!!!

I am still doing a protein shake each morning - it's the fastest and easiest way to get 30 grams in. I get the Premier Shakes - the come in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. I get mine at Costco,...

I've continued on the Gummi multi-vits and calcium gummies as well. I chew them up with my protein drink each morning.

Christine, are you willing to share the name of your Doctor?

I have never had an issue with getting a job or being promoted, no matter what my size. I'm an HR Director and have hired many people who are technically obese or disabled (wheelchair, blind, deaf,...

Oh trust me, I have been there!
Give yourself and your body the time it needs to heal and adjust. You will like certain foods again, you will also be able to eat "regular" foods, it just takes...

I've just pulled some "bread like" concoctions out of the oven, they are called "Oopsies" and I saw it on FB. No gluten...
Separate 3 eggs.
Mix whites with a pinch of salt...

WOW! I'd never guess that you are the same person! You look amazing!
Please share, what worked for you - when it came to eating.

Yep, just got through those 5 days... I fluctuated the whole time, up two, down two... up two... very depressing!

Are you taking something for stomach acid? I'm wondering if that won't make your stomach tolerate more. My Dr. said to take twice the amount - 40 mg of omeprezole. That helped me to be able to...

I had mine in the shoulder and it took a good week before it felt better. I started to take the miralax every day, in something to drink. That helped. I know you feel miserable right now but it...

Congrats, that's amazing!!!

I know what you're going through! It's like there is no pleasure in life anymore! Nothing to look forward to at the end of a long hard day. No chocolate to turn to when feeling a bit blue. I'm a...

I had the same thing! My Dr. said to take 40 mg of omeprezole per day - as opposed to the 20 mg that is normally taken.
So take twice what you are currently doing (one at night and one in the...

I do a large protein shake/smoothie each morning that has 42 grams of protein. That will last me a few hours.
Then the rest of the day, I try to get in as much G2 Gatorade as I can. I have a...

My passport also had my ex-name on it. Don't worry about it. They will just look at your passport - and photo. Just be sure that if they ask you name, you give the right one! (They didn't ask me,...
