Thanks Kris and Jules!!!!

Sleeved almost four months ago and down over 90 pounds since date of sleeve. Feeling amazing!

Current pic update, no more size 40 or 42 (varied by brand) but now a 30 waist! Almost four months post op! Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Weighed 252 day of sleeve, October 7, 2013 and down over 90 pounds since day of sleeve :-) Feeling great!!!

My belly button incision got infected a few weeks after surgery and I had to go to hospital, where they put me on IV, told me about 'packing and cut it to drain it. After packing it for a couple days I realized the same thing and freaked. Gave it some time with try to pull it and I was SOL I thought. Few days later took a nice warm bubble bath and soaked, and pulled the little guy out lol.

What the hell is that? Is that like the incision thingy majingy? Lol. I had laprascopic robotic so mine are not noticable. What did you have Jules and BrickHouse?

The Vent Fitness is next to the KMart in Lathem. $9.99 a month, no start up fee, no contract so figured I would give it a shot. I've tried Planet Fitness before and surprisingly coming from a gay man I found the locker room very 'uncomfortable' and way to 'friendly'. Need I say more? I was pretty grossed out so I called it quits. Lol. Must feel good to be free with no restrictions!?! I remember when they lifted my food restrictions and I tasted normal food. It was exciting but not as much as I thought. Thought I would have missed food, but don't. Lol. Glad your doing well and great job on the weight loss! Remember to eat slow and chew really well. If your chest feels heavy, or like something is stuck tilt your head down, chin pressed against chest and just leave it there for a min or two. Keep up the great work!

That's awesome!!! I want to have your stats but I don't imagine I'll be losing 50 lbs in the next 6 weeks. Hey a girl can dream. Men lose faster anyway... Patience is a virtue and you will surely get there! Damn is men for losing quicker then women!

Woot woot!!! Work it girl! Looking good, looking good! Keep up the good work! Looking friggin fantastic!!!!!

Congrats! Keep positive it's the best journey imaginable! Three and a half months out and down over 90 pounds! Keep us updated!

Congrats! Keep up the great work!!!

I just joined Vent Fitness in Lathem, figured 9.99 a month, worse case scenerio I just don't use it like I should lol. The Y, even being on disability I found to be a bit high, although I LOVE the whole pool factor about the Y. Thanks for the compliments :-)

Yay!

I'm almost four months out, swear by coco butter.

Pic update :-) Also, no longer have sleep apnea :-)

I'm always around BrickHouse, always :-) I never see anyone posting anymore bit I check several times a day :-) How are you feeling? How's everything going!?!

Do not use peri colace as your body can begin to rely on it. I am a little over three and a half months out and use Equate (walmart) brand stool softener capsules. It's what my program recommends and it works wonders

Stalls happen. Personally I would not recommend taking in more calories unless discussed with your doctor or nut. Also, you may want to try equate brand (walmart) stool softener capsules. That's what my program recommends. Sorry I can't really give to much advice, I try not to when it comes to these kinds of things because I don't want to push someone away from what their doctor is having them do. Best of luck to you :-)

I don't really think it has to do with the meds at all. It seems with the surgery the surgery and I have done all the work. Your stomach is so small afterwards I don't really feel like the meds effects it. I am three and a half months out and down over 90 pounds :-) It was well worth it.
