You look beautiful! I see your results, as well as some others and plastic surgery is probably in my future. I'm still concentrating on losing my weight right now. Can't wait to be thin and not to have the excess skin - I would probably give anything to look like that right now!

Forgot to check in - 194 (only 2 pounds lost this month)

ualaw - you look AMAZING! Super cute & sophisticated! LBAnna - you are beautiful! Tell that soldier of yours that we appreciate him keeping us safe & free! I know that you are so happy that he is home - I bet he was so surprised at your dramatic weight loss!

I use these protein shots from Walmart by body fortress - I think they are 24 grams of protein. I will take a picture of it when I get home from work. You get 6 in a box for about $10.00. They come in fruit punch - tastes a little like cough syrup but manageable because it's just a small bottle. I have had a hard time finding protein shakes because I don't like milk - the isupure is good - they are a little expensive - but you do get different flavors hope this helps!

I had the same thing when I had my surgery! Just make sure you walk a lot it does help with the gas pain. I hope you feel better soon - congrats! You are on your way - so happy for you:)

Hey - I haven't seen you here for a while! So glad to see you back! I hope you are well!

So glad I read this! I didn't even know that! I have lapband but I still had surgery & it's probably the same

That's great advice - I count my calories right now because I am still learning to eat healthy and my mind is not banded (unfortunately- lol). After I learn what is healthy and what is not - I will be able to do what you are doing! I can't wait to be free from it all and just let it be! Thanks for sticking around for us, because we need people like you, Cheryl, Jim, Carolina Girl & alot of others who have been here for along time & continue to help us

Congrats on your surgery! It's worth it - trust me!

So happy for you - you look amazing! Glad you are feeling better!!!!

Good stuff & true - from all the above!

Its scary because you are changing the entire way that you eat, but you will get used to it. You will just have to do a little more preparing for just yourself. I prepare my Breakfast & lunch every day to take to work. Just make sure you have the foods that you are allowed to have in your house and that will help. Its attainable, it really is.

I felt the same exact way! I am so happy for you that you are getting your surgery tomorrow - you are definitely on your way! You are gonna be ok & you will be happy with your results. Just follow your doctor's instructions and do your part and you will be happy with your decision. I wish you the very best of luck Take good care of yourself

I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. It is very difficult being a caregiver, but I know that it brought you many blessings being able to care for her as you did. You look beautiful!

You know I'm sure it was a great thought to have all of the weight loss surgeries together on one site, but to be honest I'm tired of trying to defend myself on here! There is so much bashing it's ridiculous!

Yea me too - I am going to try the magnesium supplements - I will just take the recommended dosage and see how it goes:) Thanks y'all I think its hendering my weight loss!

I have issues too - I was too embarrassed to do a new thread - lol

Feb 8 - 196 Feb 15- 195 Feb 22 - 195 Still the same - hopefully I will go down another pound at least before the 28th If not, I'm ok with it. Personal goal - I have not gotten organized at all! Dietary goal - doing good with little carbs! My exercise goal - I have tried to do something every day (I'm up to over 7,000 steps daily on my fit bit & that's a lot for someone that sits at a desk for over 8 hours) - lol

That's great! You are doing amazing!

I forgot to add something- you know they (members of congress & news media) knocked him for being obese and said that he wasn't healthy enough to be President. Don't you think that's discrimination? It doesn't matter what political affiliation you are - I would imagine a lot of us have had some discrimination because we are/were obese? I personally think it's discrimination. Now I understand that every president has to submit to a health examination and he might have had some physical impairments due to obesity - I'm not sure. But I don't think it's right for so many people to bash him for being overweight. It makes my heart hurt when people do that to others! I am happy for him losing weight and for him making the decision to do that - I know that he has more to lose but 100 pounds is differently in the right direction!

I'm not really trying to be superwoman I just have lots of bills and just trying to make ends meet - I make good money and I'm happy for that! I have a child with a heart condition and medical bills are expensive - always hoping for the powerball or lottery

My heart's desire would be for me to be a stay at home mom/wife. I would love to take my kids to school, pick them up every day, and volunteer at their school. My husband works 70 hours a week and I would love to be able to make home cooked meals and have a clean house. If he was to get off work early I would be around for him. I want to slow down to not be in a hurry all the time! It would have to include the money to do that - because I wouldn't be able to do it without sufficient $ coming in. I work a stressful job (I love it & they are good to me) but I feel like I'm running and so busy all the time. Everything seems so stressful all the time basically with everything - always in a rush, always hurrying - what I would give for a slower more simpler life!

I think that it's great that he's done so good! I think that it's amazing that anyone can lose 100 pounds! Good for him!

Great pics! You should be so proud of yourself! Great legs Girl! I'm jealous!

It sounds amazing - I love pumpkin spice anything. I'm gonna check it out and maybe try it over the weekend!
