I have been fat forever. I am now almost 2 months past surgery. My body is changing very rapidly. The problem is, my fat was usually very, how can I say, solid ( It did not giggle). Loving the weight loss but I got a good look in a mirror( trying on smaller clothes) and my fat is so different it is very squishy and when I move it giggles. I know that I am loosing it but it looks so bad. Does it get better? I have never had giggle legs and belly before. I even think my smaller bum is giggling. I do love that I can wear smaller sizes but I cant wear shorts because my legs look so bad. May be I should tan or something. And the hair loss is coming on strong. So many body issues I never thought of. I am still glad I had the surgery and I am eating right and exercising to. I love my VSG, it is a great tool. I know that this time I will succeed. I am shock by my body morphing to a smaller person. Changes are happening so quickly. I have lost 48 lbs and 34 have been since surgery. I was a size 24 and now I am in a size 18. I bought a very thigh sized 16 that I will wear in a few weeks.

Thanks Guys. I do not like auto correct. Sorry for the typo.

Funny I so did put the wrong word but it does jiggle.

Good luck. I am excited for you. Your journey is just beginning.

You look great. Younger and well rested. It is funny how we see ourselves. Strangers can see the difference and you know we will tell you the truth. You look great enjoy your accomplishment.

Girl you look amazing! Way to go. I am so proud of you! Keep up the good work!

So I had surgery on June 10th. How many calories am I supposed to consume? I am about 1000-1200 a day. Is that OK?

Congrats. You look great. So proud of you and your accomplishments. Go Cubs. I am inspired. My family went to see the cubs one week after my surgery and I missed out. Next year I will not. I hope to be as successful as you. Good luck Sunday.

Good luck. Prayers said. This will work trust me I was in your shoes. I am almost two months out and lost 34 since surgery and 48 total. You got this girl. God is with you and He will get you through this.

You look great!

Happiness. Fitting in a regular sized isolation gown and I could tie the waist and the neck without chocking me. The things you don't realize truly affect your daily lives. Before I had to always order X large gowns and hide them so no one would use them.

You look awesome

Go girl. You look great. Keep it up.

My boob's did shrink but I am still a D cup. I just went down from a 42 to a 40 and from a DD to a D. They actually look much better now because they look like regular boobs. I do not have any "Titback". You know how they go all the way to your back and still look like one big boob. They are just boobs now. I do think they will shrink but when I was skinny I had a C cup and a I had a butt. So I am thinking that I will be curvy. May be.

Good luck. I am ready for change and I am hoping that I will continue to see the scale going lower and lower each week. I only weigh myself once a week. One of my friends on the June forum, Frank told me he does that and I liked the idea. I got less scale conscious after talking to him, but still would hope for a weekly loss. I know that we will get there. The journey is long but it is so worth it.

So I was nbt thinking about those girls. I thought it was sisters.

I had surgery on June 10th so yeah I am in the 6 weeks of my body reajsuting. Thank You! I needed that. My Dr never told me that. I was telling my husband that I think my body is adjusting to my new diet and it will catch on to the idea that I am not starving myself and this is how life will be like from now on. I agree the smaller clothes is a much nicer reward that the number on a scale. I did get rid of a bunch of clothes and still had some that fit. But after this go around of clothes I am going to be naked unless I go shopping. I think I am good for a few weeks may be a month or two. My good friend started calling me Lilly, as in Lilly Tomlin the incredible shrinking woman. I see that I am loosing and I feel bones I have not felt in a very long time. This morning I finally lost 3 pounds. I was shocked. I am happy to have lost and feel bad for complaining. I am so scared that this surgery will not work for me because nothing ever worked before. I eat less than 1000 calories a day. I walk when I have a chance. I finally have more energy and I am doing so much more than I did last month. I guess I am scared. I so want this to work. I am tired of loosing and regaining the weight and even more weight. Thanks again. I am so happy for your advice. You Rock!

Hey guys I am stalling. I am smaller but the scale and I don't agree. I was a 24 but now I am in an 18. The scale has been the same for 2 weeks. I increased my protein. I walk daily.

Thank you! I am stalling. One month out and I have not lost weight in a week or two. I am much smaller but the scale is not moving.

You look great.

I live in the area. Talk about temptation, it's every where. People show love by sending food and it is never healthy. The food is amazing as well as the people I am glad you came to visit and I hope you enjoy your stay. It is hard to find healthy food but it is out there. Good luck finding it.

Oh yeah today is my birthday! My friends did tell me I looked good and three did call me sexy. My husband did say that to. I was wearing a skirt that is so big and a very loose shirt. I did not feel very sexy. I think my friends are very excited ab out my weight loss because they loved the old me in and outside.

So is anyone else having relationship issues? Today I had a meeting at work. I get dressed up and do my hair and make up, like every day. I had to drop something off to my husband at his work and he said you look so good. I said thank you and he continued to complement me. I said thanks again and he said who let you out the house looking that good. I just rolled my eyes because he says that all the time. I tell him I had to go and kiss him good bye. I start to drive away and he acts like he is throwing a fishing line and reeling it back in. I look at him and I say what are you doing? He said your going fishing and I got mad. I told him that he is nuts. His insecurity from his prior relationship is rearing its ugly head. I have been a faithful wife for 22 years. I lost weight get a grip. I am still the same person just in smaller clothes. Really, I still weigh 250 lbs. What is going to happen when I get smaller? Anyone out there dealing with this please let me know.
