havent been on in awhile but been doing really well up to about a couple weeks ago. April is a very stressful time for me. My daughter died on April 2nd 2010 my son was born April 3rd 2011 and my oldest son is April 16th 1996. anyway idk if its stress or what but i am totally off track nibbling on everything in sight not drinking my protein at all. just reliezed today havent been taking my vitamins either. i cant seem to get back on track. it will be 3 months on the 24th of this month and ive lost around 45 so not to bad. and i havent gained but i dont want to fall into bad habits agian. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much just getting it out that i wasnt doing so hot helped me make some corrections. Like going to confesson LOL.Started back at the gym Saturday working on 3 days strait now and getting all my Protein in and Vitamins. Can so tell the difference when i drink my shakes. Thanks again to my sleeve family for all the kind words and encouragement!!! New goal is 20lbs by my 35 bday on May 23rd hope i can do it

HAppy HAppy Birthday!!! it is one month fro me today and have lost 20lbs. i walk 2x aday for 15 min with weights on my anckles up and down the 5 flights of stairs at work. plus walk all day at work. i did have a stall for about a week and half.

do you use regular cream cheese or lowfat/ fat free?

The 14th was 3 weeks out for me and i havent lost weight since about a week and half ago. if im not getting in enough calories and protein in could that make it slower for my weight loss? so thought maybe if i tracked it online i would see if im missing something. i try to do it in my head but dont think its working so great i feel like im gonna fail so bad some how. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello all, My name is Kristine I am 34 years old happly married with four children. I have been looking into Bypass surgrey for a couple years now. Highest weight was 315 lowest 120 current 215 at 5'2. I have been thick all my life and over the past few years I have had some tragic events happen to where i no longer cared. My husband and i have tried to have another baby since 2007 all ending in misscarrage 3 total with a set of twins. In 2009 we had a daughter that was born with severe conginital defects and she passed away at 8 months April 2, 2010 (Good Friday no less). Well this year we were able to have a perfect little boy went into labor on the 1 year anniversary of my daughters death. i held him in there for one more day. Well since he came i have decided to go through with getting the surgery and start my new life for myself, children and husband. I have decided to stop looking at all the bad and cherrish all that is good to me and look forward. My surgery is set for January 16th with Dr. Taylor in Yspi. MI. I am so excited to the point of almost obsessive lol. My husband and children are extremely supportive. My oldest daughter (14) is an extreme athlete and health nut. She cant wait to have all the Protein drinks in the house she would live on those and the bars if i let her. My oldest boy (16) just wants me happy and my other daughter (9) is my happy little chuncky monkey and i hope when shes sees mommy eating right she will do the same. the baby is 8 months so all he will ever know is a skinny hot mama. My husband is tall dark handsom and has the body that belongs on a calander lol i tell all my friend that im going from a hot mess to a hot mama lol. I read all your post on here and have got so much ifo it isnt even funny. i cant wait to join the losers bench.

Thank you both i have not started the pre op diet. Im going to start after the first of the year my BMI is under 40 and the dr doesnt want it to get under 35 for surgery cuz insurance can cancel on surgery date. if im not mistaking is it kinda like the adkins minus the fat?
