Love this thread! Favorite thing: getting out the shower, looking down at my feet, and seeing EVERTHING lol. Also when someone looks at my Drivers License and says "that's not you!" Less favorite thing: The stalls!

Thanks everyone! Means a lot :-) 30 lbs away from goal. 9 lbs away from onederland!! I could have been there but I was really slacking now its time to push things in high gear!

Lol that was a 'fear' of mine! I started a thread about the same thing lol. I was a 40J when I had surgery and now I am at a 38H so they are slowly going down. I can wear large shirts instead of 1X/2X!

Hey everyone! I would love to see some before and after pics. Been in kind of a slump because I thought I would have loss more weight then I have by now. Something that always cheers me up is seeing and hearing all the sucess stories. Please upload some pics people :-)

So am I! My dad is Cuban and my mom is black :-) best of both worlds lol

Hey guys! I had surgery almost 2 Wks ago. For the last couple of days I have been breaking out all over face, neck, and chest. I have never had a skin issue. Maybe a pimple here or there but nothing like this. My face is burning! I think I am having some sort of reaction. The only med I have been taking is Zegrid and I have to do so every night for 3 mons....is/has this happened to anyone else?

Hey guys! When I went to my derm she informed me it generated from a few things: trauma to my body b/c it was major surgery, meds given Durning surgery, and dairy from all the protein shakes. she prescribe me ziana and Kenya (something like that) I used it for a few days and it helped in the evening but it would flare up surit the day. I stopped using it. My skin returned to normal after about 3 Weeks. For me it got worst day by day until it went away. Luckily for me it was gone before.I went back to work 7/13. Don't worry guys IT will go away!

Hi! I was sleevef May 30th and I wanted to see the updates from others sleeved around that time. How much weight have you loss and what have been the biggest challenge?

Thanks for sharing guys, you don't know much this helps me! I started this thread b/c I have been at a stall for about a mon. I will be honest I don't do my protein the way I should and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. My doc informed me to eat something every 2 hrs. That has been hard for me and I feel like I am sabotaging my new tummy b/c I have not built up my metabolism. I hope exercise changes this stall for me. my HW was 261and I am at 220. I know I should not gage myself off of someone else, but before teading these post I felt like I should have lost more weight. I didn't look at the big pic and see 41 lbs is a big drop!!

That is a lot od weight in such a short time! Congrats :-)

That is great!

That is so awesome! Great job!

Please excuse the bold language! I have a question for the woman...sorry fellas I have a love hate relationship with my breast. when I was a teen I went to sleep and woke up in a D cup, now 11 yrs later I am in a 38jj. Whenever I lost weight prior my boobs barely changed. I would LOVE for them to go down during this transition but I still want something (my trademark) what are some of the changes some of you noticed when the weight started to come off? My fears are I will be 160 lbs w/ JJs or 160 lbs w/ As...ideally I would like to be 160 lbs w/ Ds or DDs...but realistically I know time will only tell...thought it would be an,interesting topic!

I know a little redundant but 1 month down and 34 lbs gone!!

Down 34 lbs from my highest weight of 261! 47 lbs from my goal weight of 180...I am hoping to be under 200 by the end of July. I am set to return to work 7/16 and can't wait to show off the new me! The last time I was 227 was in 2009. doc gave me the green light to exercise, so it should get better from here. I am having problems with my protein. I have been doing oh yeah but getting tired of the taste....any recommendations?

Thanks!

I had the same prob with being able to consume a lot during wk 2-3. I thought I would never drop the weight if I could eat the way idid before surgery. When I went to my doc he told me to start self control to train my metabolism. Consume only 1/4 cup of food every 2 hrs and alternate. 2 pm have 1/4 cup of applesauce, then 4 pm drink protein, at 6 pm eat mashed fish, and drink water in between.

So my daughter just had a recital, and the family decided to go McDonalds for dinner. I am almost 4 Wks post (wow time flyz) and a month ago I would of ordered 2 meals. 2 Weeks ago I would of had too much head hunger to even be in the restaurant. Now I can sit and not even care or be tempted.
