See and this makes me wonder if guys get usable appendage....then for the ladies...lol do our boobes get bigger or more saggy?! Lmao!

OK WHY AM I FREEZING MY BUTT OFF RIGHT NOW.. IM WEARING SOX, A SWEATER, AND FUZZY PANTS.. AND YET MY DUMBASS IS SITTING HERE EATTING A POPSICLE!?!?!?! LOL BUT SOOOOO YUMMY.. I THINK ILL GO HAVE ANOTHER ONE! THAT IS ALL!

AMEN TO THE HEATED BLANKET!!!!!!! i got one too and its the best investment i ever made! lol

ANR--- i about pissed my pants i was laughing so hard ... it funny, people think and let me say that again THINK they are being polite when really its a polite way of saying something rude.. lol. IMO and i think you are right they dont have a clue what we are going thru and probably never will and i assure you that i didn't do any of it for YOU!.. i DID IT FOR ME! I love my mother dearly, but i swear if its not one thing its another.. and as long as i keep trying to satisfy HER... I WILL NEVER SATISFY ME!

ohh im in fair oaks too...well that was easy ... if you would like them... thanks guys but i just dont think im going to like them later either.. lol.. but i already bought all new Vitamins so i dont need them. Message me in a private email and i can either give you my info or you can give me yours. what ever is easiest. i just don't want them to go to waste.

iegal that was classic... lol i feel the same way sometimes.. i go to work and i blast my heater.. and people look at me like im crazy!

wow that is amazing.. you look absolutely wonderful.. and you did all that and dont work out.. IM JEALOUS! and it doesn't look like you have any excess skin..you were beautiful before and you are absolutely gorgeous now! congrats on rockin that sleeve!

yup... and my new favorite... " i hope your not gonna get tooo skinny?!" really first i was too fat.. so now please tell me WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY? cuz thats why i went into have this surgery... to make you happy (in my most sarcastic voice)

i know this post was started a while ago so not sure if anyone will read this but just wanted to let you know if you are hungry and its been 3-4 hours since your last meal.. that is normal, u are supposed to eat every 4 hours to get in 6 meals a day.. 3 normal meals and 3 Snacks. if you are hungry in say an hour i understand thats a little different. but just wanted to put that out there.

also lunges are really good for legs and butt. good luck on your journey we are all rooting for you.. cuz i know im also worried big time about this... so i will keep following this as well for updates!

thanks guys... im workin my butt off... literally..lol afro--- if you don't mind me askin what where your starting stats.. and what type of exercises are you doing.. maybe i can help with ideas on exercises.

i honestly think its the lack of Iron.. its why aenimic people are always cold too.. who knows.. but im freezing all the time now! and yet me eating a popsicle im sure wasn't helping.. lol,

you should actually just be able to take the tab as is.. i have been since day one.. they are small enought that they wont get stuck and dont break like the gel tab ones.. so you should be ok. if you are really concerned you may want to ask your doctor, but i dont think they will prescribe you something you couldn't take. IMO

congrats!!! that is soooo amazing! keep up the good work. your going to be at goal in no time. )

So yesterday i wrote that i was having my first post op apt with the surgeon and i promised id let you know how it went.. so here goes... the doc said i am doing better % wise than most bypass patients...lol.. Because i started at a lower BMI she said the amount of weight that i lost was actually really good. so that made me pretty happy.. and we decided that I can go to full work outs which is nice cuz im gonna start workin my abs like you wont believe... I am GOING to have a six pack or at least the girl version of one.. IM DETERMINED! I was also finally released to eat salad.. which i know doesn't seem like much..but oooohhhhh how ive missed salad. So everything went well.. and we decided my goal should be 150-160 so i going to shoot for the 150 but we will see how much fat i can get off at around 160. Thanks everyone for your support the other day I was truely nervous, but thankfully im doing well and what i supposed to do. and so i wanted to show you guys some updated pics. the first one is me at my heaviest... the next three were taken yesterday!!! down 30 lbs!!!! current weight 204.0

thank you.. its almost all i can do.. i like to smile now..lol... go figure.. under all that chunk was a happy girl.. lol

Thank u everyone...I'm pumped and I can't wait for onederland

thank you all very much! i feel good.. :smilingface (52):

OK ... i think im about to ruin my good rep of working out and being a strick VSG person but here goes.. I have been drinking since about 3 weeks out.. lol.. i know im a horrible person, but when you work at a bar its really hard not to drink. i started of really slow, just trying a sip to see what it would do, cuz honestly i was more curious than anything... Im just under 7 weeks out.. monday will be 7 for me.. And for the past week or two i have been doing shots. now i think im am the exception to the rule... It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ME! Its kinda funny i thought id be a cheap date now, but nope.. i dont get drunk, infact if i have buzz and i don't keep drinking it actually goes away fast now than it did before the sleeve.. I AM NOT ... AND I REPEAT AM NOT CONDONING PEOPLE TO DRINK.. because it will affect a lot of people , and it is empty calories that can seriously hinder your progression of weight loss! with that said. i am also at the gym 5 days a week and work my butt off to make sure i keep losing weight! but seriously i was actually kinda hoping that i could have one drink and me like.. whooo hooo i don't have to drink anymore..lol.. that is simply not the case! I would still caution you to be very careful if you decide to drink, the only thing that i get out of it is a gas pain in my left side. lol..

SO OK.. tomorrow will be the first time my surgeon sees me since i had the surgery back on 12-12-11. Im not sure what to expect.. Im a little nervous...NO FORGET THAT IM A LOT NERVOUS! I am soooo afraid that they are gonna tell me that im behind schedule of what im supposed to be losing. Ive heard stories ad i just don't wanna come out of there disappointed in myself.. I mean im doin everything that i can, i work out, and im getting in my Water and food(sometimes) im just afraid of what they will say.. I guess the only thing that I am excited about is for them to tell me what my ACTUAL goal weight is supposed to be.. the number on my ticker is just something that I made up cuz no one ever gave me a number.. i think im actually supposed to be somewhere around 160-165 because i do have a lot of muscle, but we shall see. ANY ADVICE?!?!?!?!?! CUZ I THINK IM GONNA STRESS OUT UNTIL TOMORROW!

thanks ladies.. i will definitely post an update.. my apt is at 11 so i guess it wont be long.. lol.
