Hey! Haven't been on for a while, teacher! Schools consuming my life! I had surgery June 19. I'm down 50lbs! Feel better than ever. Size 20 to 10 and XXL to M/L. Loving life!! Best decision I've ever made. Ignore my laundry!! I am throwing out clothes left and right! One fat pic is of my car accident. Look ridiculous! Lol

My dad had his at victory on Tuesday. He's doing well. I had mine on June 19, 2013 and down 50lbs!! Size 20 to 10. Left stitch was awful and took 3 full weeks for me.

I think it's a great idea but it still shows you added yourself to a group even if its closed. People just can't read what it's about but the name of the group tells it all. I'm not telling my Facebook friends/family and they are already asking how I'm losing my weight.

When I was going through my process I never waited over 5 minutes. Now, when I go with my dad we've waited an hour. I'm glad I don't have to go back until December. FYI: I am on vacation and I feel like I can eat anything I want. It is very scary. I have to remind myself about my old life. In my opinion, it would be so easy to gain your weight back. I literally ate meatloaf and a salad and gained 2 lbs! It was a 1/4 or 1/2 of food because I can't eat more than that. I have to diet. Fresh meat and veggies. Just my two cents. I have to begin my workout program.

Ok, tomorrow is the big day! I want any advice you guys can give me. What should I expect? Feel? Pain level? I have had a c-section before. Taking medicine after? Nervous!!! Plano, Tx with Dr. Nick Nicholson

Just stopped in Illinois at arbys while getting gas. I ordered a kids roast beef. I ate the roast beef (3 slices thin) and calories counter says 70 calories and 8 g of Protein. Ordered a side salad and had 5 small bites with a tiny amount of ranch. Calories counter, 165 total calories and 9 g of protein. Not perfect but it good for what it is. sleeved 6/19/13 203 to 160 last time I weighed two days ago. Size 20 to 12/14 depending on store. No more blood pressure meds!!

That sounds good, haven't been in a situation to go sit and eat.

I have zero problems going out. There is always something I can eat. The other night I ordered a side salad and grilled chicken. Some people say their doctor doesn't allow salad. I was told at my 6 week appt that I can anything I want. I will ordered a cup of chili, sandwich and eat the meat, cheese, veggies. Get a taco and eat the I inside. You will find people judge on here and tell people to eat only at home. I didn't do this surgery to be a recluse. I eat healthy but enjoy my family. I'm off all medications for blood pressure. 203 to 160 Size 20 to 12/14 depending on store. I'm short 5'1

Traveling Feel amazing. It's awesome to not feel the urge to snack the entire trip.

I'm traveling from Texas to Ohio right now and I stopped at a convenience store and bought a turkey Swiss sandwich and ate the meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I was only able to eat half of the insides. Breakfast I found boiled eggs at the store and watermelon. I love turkey jerky pieces. I eat 8 pieces. 100 calories and no carbs!! Tons of protein.

I may be interested in the future. As of now I just don't see myself ever going with school starting. What's it like? I've wondered if it was worth it.

I ordered my size the day I went. Wedding is in November so I know it will have to be altered. The lady said it can be altered 5 sizes! I hope she's right!!

Awesome!!! This gives me hope. My belly looks very very similar to yours. I'm 6 weeks out and I can see it shrinking. Yours has gone right back into place.

Hey guys! I had my 6 week check-up today. I was cleared to eat anything I want. That is very exciting but very scary at the same time. I know that it will be a challenge to stay on track. I can see why people gain their weight back or don't lose weight. You have to be in the right frame of mind to do this. It would be easy to eat ice cream, chips, cookies, junk etc... I am in it to win it!

I am lucky. I have never had anything that made me feel sick. I am 6 weeks and was cleared today to eat anything I want. So, tonight I enjoyed a thin pork chop and tiny salad.

I'm doing wonderful! Will be 6 weeks on Wednesday. Down 41 lbs, 162!!! My dad is 56 and was so negative to me about the surgery. Now, he is scheduled for August 27th!! He changed his mind real quick when he saw how great I was doing. Just remember what drove you to want the surgery to begin with. Pray about it and do what your heart tells you! Good luck
