No New Years Resolution This Year!
Crystal Woods replied to SexySlim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just made my day! I have 11 pounds until I reach my goal but I am happy where I am. This will be the first New Years in 8 years that I won't be making a resolution to lose weight! -
Why Are/were You Fat?
Crystal Woods replied to Gastricsleeve4me's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was very petite until I became pregnant at 19. I had a second daughter 17 months later without losing the baby weight. I weighed 176 when I got pregnant with my 3 child. I suffered from Dilated Cardiomyopathy after I had him and was unable to exercise or even climb stairs for 1 1/2 years. My weight climbed to 228. I am now 121. I love my sleeve. -
I cooked the taco meat last night so that we can have the taco cupcakes tonight.

Regular cupcake pans... The French dip cupcakes, Hawaiian BBQ cupcakes, and the breakfast hash brown cupcakes are phenomenal!

Can Someone Help Me Please!
Crystal Woods replied to fyre_storm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have a problem with my VSG incisions but I had a similar reaction to my first c-section incision. I couldn't even look at it without feeling that way... 3 c-sections and several other surgeries later I don't bat an eye at it. -

Any Good (Trusted) Dr. In Mexico For Sleeve
Crystal Woods replied to chiki's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I was sleeved by Dr. Almanza on 03/01/12. My start weight was 228 and my current weight is 121. My personal goal is 110 but I am not rushing the last 11 pounds bc my skin has done much better than expected. I want a mommy makeover but I need a financial miracle first. -
I stalled hard at 6 months. I am not almost 10 months out and the losing is slow but I only have 11 more to reach goal. Mix up your calorie count daily or every few days and mix up your exercise routine. For example, drop calories to 1/2 of what your daily average is for two or three days each week... Same way with exercise but you can change type or amount. Increase water intake - that always helps me.
