I loved sweet tea but I gave it up....I gave up all caffeinated beverages the day I first saw my surgeon. Kroger has diet unsweet iced tea that comes in gallon jugs-over by the cheese & eggs. It...

Thanks everyone, it's always a work in progress! :)

I'm a few days shy of my 1 year anniversary but it's not going to change how much I have changed. Physically of course but the mental and emotional changes are mind blowing. So thankful &...

You look great, congrats!!!

Congrats to you! There is nothing like going under 300 lbs....I think mine was 12 or 13 years, can't wait to hear of your continued progress!!

I agree with Ann!! Stop worrying and be happy!

I've lost 114lbs (including my 12 day pre-op diet) and am 9 months post op. I have been working out at least 3x/week since 3 weeks after surgery. ...

Oh Ann thank you for that, brings me to tears! I'm proud of that-being able to show young children how to be healthy. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks because of my knee but I'm trying to keep my...

I cannot believe I am posting a side by side picture of me with my stomach showing but damn it's kind of liberating! The left side was 2 days before my surgery and the right side was last...

I'm currently on steroids so I'm not going near the scale, add the time of the month which equals additional weight! Glad you are on the right track again!

OMG that's awesome girl, congrats to you!!!!

Like many have suggested I would take them out myself. This surgery was maybe number 12 for me? Maybe 13, heck I don't remember but either my dad or I have removed the stitches from most. I only...

I take a probiotic and fiber every day......I didn't have this problem after surgery but have been dealing with it off and on since month 4.....maybe I'll try the prune juice

Yes mine has slowed way down, I've only lost 5 pounds in the last 2 months. I'm 14 away from goal and fighting for it. It is frustrating but we can do it! Hang in there!

Yes they can, I weigh in every three weeks or so now. :)

So true, thank you for your words! I will check out the Hydrostatic Tank!!!

I will have to search on that, thank you for bringing it to my attention! I'm heavily European decent with some Algonquin Indian thrown in there but not enough to make a difference! Thank you :)

Currently @ 8.5 months out I am 234lbs with just around 50 inches lost. I gained a few inches due to muscle but I'll take it!

My weight loss has slowed down soooo much BUT I am thrilled with...

You keep me motivated, well done!!!! :)

Growing up my cousin (who was 3 years younger than me) couldn't say Emily, it came out as Emmers......so the nickname stuck and he still calls me that! Everyone calls me that, but I'm fine with it! ...

Before surgery I was 343.......I got to my 100 lb mark at just over 6 months out.....lets say 6.25 months.......I've only lost 9 more lbs since....but I'm fighting tooth and nail! Everyone is...

I have lost a 15 foot canoe (40lbs) and a Golden Retriver (69lbs) or a 2 month old horse and 9 salamis lol.........either way it's funny!

Thanks Angie you are doing great, you'll work up to an hour before you know it!

Thank you :)

Thanks! I agree that it's weird to be motivated to exercise, funny really! I've done Zumba for a few years and at my heaviest, it wasn't easy. I went back to a class this week and was stunned at...

I say as long as you're moving it's a good thing! And wow 2x a day good for you! I'm not sure what's happening to us but I really like it!!!! :)
