My surgeon cleared alcohol after two months. He doesn't encourage it because of empty calories.

Smoking can cause gastric ulcers in your little stomach.

No. I hope you start feeling better.

You look great!

I do this also

Woot woot!!!

In my opinion, they will never be able to handle it. I think you should be selfish and want better for yourself. It sounds like you've sacrificed for your family for many years before this. I work full time and am married and the mother to 4 children (1-biological and 3 step).

Good luck to you!

From 236 last week to 234 this week

Good luck to all of you on your upcoming surgeries !!!!

I'm pretty sure you can only update on the site, not app.

Girls are mean.

I was very emotional at that point post op, I'm still emotional as a matter of fact. I think your melt down was normal. You will feel better once you're loosing weight and feeling great. And remember, you will be able eat anything you want further down the road, just not much of it. Good luck

Best wishes Tabby!! You'll do great! I'll say a prayer for your speedy recovery!

I was going to keep it a secret, but decided against it. Ive been telling everyone. In my opinion it would've wrong to lie to one of my friends, who is in the same boat as me, aka another fat person, but as I stated its just my opinion. Of course, there has been issues with some of my friends, that if I would've lied, wouldn't be issues. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on this issue

Congrats! You look good!

I would love to hire a personal trainer for the strength training stuff. I feel totally lost in that department. I'm pretty sure my body is going to need it. My 5 year old son is enrolled in swimming classes, to learn all the competitive racing strokes. I'm thinking about hiring his swim coach to teach me the strokes like breast stroke, butterfly, etc. all I know how to do is freestyle

I really don't think that's slow, that's good! Congrats and keep up the good work

Awesome post, most of them are on my list too! I really can't believe people would make farm animal noises at you! Well I can believe it but it still amazes me people can be so cruel. The one thing I'm looking forward to is being in pictures. I avoid pictures at all cost, because it reminds me of how I really look, not the vision I have of myself in my head. Me and my son go a lot of places and I'm never in pics with him. If friends and I are taking pics together, I always stipulate a head shot only. All in all, I'm hoping my new skinny life helps leave proof I do exist in pictures.

^^ This?

That's funny!

I was cleared to eat anything at 5 weeks, so around that time. Good snack, high Protein low carbs
