So about 2 yrs ago I went to a carnival they have by my house every yr and was actually told I couldn't go on one of the rides because the seatbelt didn't fit and it was a saftey hazard..I was soo embarresed I just left..the person I was with tried making a joke about it to make me feel better but I was scarred and hadn't attempted a carnival again until this yr.. mind u I'm 7 mths post op and down 65lbs but I was still worried .... so hear I am on the line for the zipper asking what the weight limit is for the ride and the guy looks at me like I'm crazy.. he said trust me ur no where near it... happy to say I fit on the ride very comfortably and it was by far one of the best experiences ive had since my surgery...just wanted to share my story because ive been o erweight my whole life and I know its the little successes that mean the most

I can manage cereal as long as its not sugary ..its the milk that bothers me

I hit 315lbs when I was pregnant and had ridiculous complications..was put on bed rest for a month ..had hypertension very high blood pressure had to get. Blood transfusion had fluidnin my lungs and even heart failure..ive always been over weight but that was definitely a scary time in my life and my turning point

Try filling up on water about 30-40 mins before u eat...that way ur hydrated and don't feel as thirsty when your eating...its works for me... good luck

Tummy is still there .. I can just hide it better lol no secret just lots of protien lots of Water and lots of gym time good luck to you

Sleeved 12/19/11 down 65lbs still away to go tho

7 mths out no regrets at all.

Hey just wondering how ur doing we had the same surgery date and preposition weight

I actually bought a shapewear on ebay it was a little costly $90 when i bought it but its full body covers my upper arms and goes down to my thighs I love it and even wear it when I go to the gym..here's the link .. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vedette-341-Compression-Post-Surgery-Garment-Sleeves-Liposuction-Recovery-Girdle-/370631593935?pt=US_Shapewear&var=&hash=item564b5d4fcf

Depends on the Dr my surgery got pushed a week back because I lost 1lb less then I was supposed to

Hey im 7 months out too my hair started falling out about 4 mths ago in clumps too the Dr told me to watch my protien intake because if ur not getting enough protien it causes hairloss...I started tracking my protien better I get between 90-100grms a day which may seem like a lot but id rather have more then less drink lots of water I started taking biotin pills and using Dr miracles tingling shampoo and conditioner..I still get some strands falling out but nothing like before and ive gotten about 2 in of new hair growing in..hope this helps good luck

1. I pass a mirror and check out my reflection 2. I can climb up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath 3. None of my clothes fit

You look amazing..def an inspiration

I work as a cashier in a very busy hospital cafeteria and personally for me it was just soo much easier telling everyone the truth..I constantly have people asking me how I'm losing the weight and Its just less complicated telling them I had surgery ..everyones situation is different tho and u have to do what makes you feel comfortable ..

My hair started falling out about three month after surgery I had bald spots all over :/ the Dr told me I needed to keep better track of my protien intake ...not having the required amount of protien everyday causes hairloss I also started taking biotin and washing my hair with Dr miracle grow shampoo and conditioner ..my hair is still falling out but no where near as much as before and its starting to grow back too

You look absolutely amazing..definitely someone to look up to... congratsbon the pregnancy

Wow u look great congrats

Ive lost a bit more weight but ive been stuck at the same weight for about a month now its very frustratiing ..ive been going to the gym a lot so everyone says I'm probably gaining muscles and its balancing out any weight lose...you just have to take it one day at a time and try ur best..good luck
