You are on the right road, and don't be so hard on yourself. You made a life changing decision. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I had 4 kids and never lost and baby weight. I have struggled with it for 20 yrs and I hated shopping in the big and tent department too. I was extremely hard on myself, but there is light at the end of the tunnel ... trust me. I found something the other day that I had lost quite a while back...my hipbones! Sad huh? but I was soooo excited. I actually dont have to shop in CJ Banks...I graduated to Christopher Banks the skinny store. I have gone from a size 24 to a 10/12 in 6 months. It will happen for you too. Just stick with the diet and excerise too, it will help with the loose skin. I eat whatever I want to now and I am still losing. I even ate a lindor chocolate the other day. But, no soda....it's been 6 months and still counting. Good Luck! chat back if ya want to. Merry Christmas!

Congratulations....you r on a terrific road. I had my surgery almost 6 months ago.....down 104# this morning. A good thing for your gas pain.....heating pad! It has become my best friend. Since losing the body fat, I am cold more and snuggle with it often. I ate alot of popcicles, course with it being winter, it could make you cold. Just make sure you are getting lots and lots of protein, because by 3months out you will start noticing a little hair lose. Lots and lots of shakes. My only problem is I'm 20-30# away from goal and I added some carbs and I keep losing. I want to know how to stop. As for anyone with the loose bowel syndrome..........yogurt! Greek is the best it has more protein. Good Luck everyone and Merry Christmas!
