Finally feel small. Date of surgery 02/21/12 340 lbs, today 146. My mind finally caught up with my body

Awesome!!! Congrats to you!!

DL.. I'm in a similar situation. Thanks for the tip about adjusting my fitness pal. I really hadn't thought of that

Is key to this whole process. Ran 1.25 miles this morning. Move your butt today!!!

Hey bb I knew you were into running. I've always been a big walker.. Just getting into the whole running thing.. Can you recommend a good shoe?

Grouchy pouchy!!

Actually ran a whole mile without stopping this morning!! I've been run/walking for the last month after work... Always felt like I was peeing a little. Key is to run in the morning before I drink anything for the day.... No peeing.. Lol it's hell getting old ... But great running!!!!

I know you are trying to be a police officer right?

No just want to run... Weird for this fat girl who used to not want to get off the couch... It felt so invigorating!!

Looking good honey

Beautiful young lady... Congrats!!

It is frustrating to be sure. We have all had some sort of hoop to jump thru... Try not to let it get you down. The end result is worth it!!

I had horrible breath for a few weeks after surgery ... I didn't realize it until my husband said something. Hurt my feelings but then what didn't during that phase. Lol. I read that it is your body going thru ketosis and bad breath is one of the side effects. It doesn't last.

I take a centrum chewable twice a day. I also take iron, biotin vitamin d and calcium. I have added a probiotic into the miz

Onward to a better healthier you!!!

Patience is key... I also am a slave to the scale... Sorry DL. Follow your dr and nuts guidelines even when you read something different here. There is a reason you picked your surgeon. You have to trust him. I still do a ton of research. Google will be your friend. Take your vitamins. And move your butt. Remember to smile and say thank you when you get a compliment. We have all lived in the shadows for far too long enjoy this moment. It's hard work but work the tool you are given and the rewards are great!!!

I had surgery 02/21/12 exactly a year and a half ago

Good luck girlie... You got this!!!

I didn't start feeling better for about 2-3 weeks. Remember you just had major surgery! It's gonna take some time

Date of surgery 340 lbs Today maintaining 147 lbs Surgery date 02/21/12 Very happy!!!

Down 193 lbs

It was 60 lbs before people started to notice on me. The closer you get to goal weight the more people will notice the 5 lb loses. It's frustrating but patience is key

I have a stabbing pain in my gut and have narrowed it down to green onions. Before I figured it out I just laid on the bed in the fetal position til it passed ... Horrible
