Hi don't buy to much because your sizes will be changing so rapidly I would only shop at concession stores because you will be wasting money otherwise like I did. I went from a size 32 to a size 12 so be careful and I am still loosing and I am 18 months post opt . Good luck .

I agree stalls are to be expected but remember to listen to your doctor and eat clean your going to see that this is normal I am 18 months post opt and I m still loosing but have experience many sells just eat correctly exercise and you should be ok good luck .

I was cleared to walk after two weeks for at least 30 minutes but prior to that I was walking around my home and then I was off and running on the treadmill good luck .

I can burn 1000 calories on the treadmill in 1 hour when only a year ago I could not even walk 10 minutes on a treadmill . My hubby refers to my clothes as doll clothes . Going from a size 32 pants to a size 12 I am loving life .

I do 1 hour on the treadmill and burn 1000 calories with my incline and I also swim 6 days a week .

Lol I drink the grape frost one really fast that is the only one i like and drink it only when I know I am going to be running around alot.

My weight has changed me for the better I now see people for who they are and people who I thought were friends were not especially my ex BFF who became so envy that she stop talking to me. changed because I wanted to be healthy and i exercise and ate healthy but remain the same person. Thank God I have a husband and family who were supportive. Now my ex BFF wants to be friend again and has gain a lot of weight. I now have new friends that I have met at the gym and I do not have time for silly people who are insecure by others success. If they do not remain your friends through thick and then you do not need them. Good luck.

Congrats i cant wait to join you , i am working at it and I know that I will get there. I have increase my work out to 2-3 hours a day 6 days a week. The scale is moving again and i know I got this. Thanks for sharing.

I think it is ok to buy smaller clothes but do not go over board because I tell you I had to give away so many nice clothes and buy more because you go through sizes quickly. now shop at concession stores until i reach my goal weight and just maintain. I bought a size 12 pants in January of this year and now i can wear them which is a big improvement from a size 32 pants. LOL. my idea size will be between a size 8 or 10 pants depending on how i look because I do not want to be a bobble head.

wow congrats lucky butt I have had a tummy tuck and will be having lipo to remove more fat from my tummy . I am thinking about a breast lift with inplants since my weight loss they have lost their volume but I am not sure. Keep us posted on your progress and good luck.

Hi congrats on your choice on being healthy I am 15 months post opt and have no issues cooking for my family , you will be able to eat real food again as time progress the challenge is you making the choice to eat healthy and with portion control. Learning how to eat again may be fearful for you now because after the surgery you have no desire to eat but after time you will eat again and learn what you like and do not like, i know for me I hated yogurt now I eat two greek yogurt every day you will see that your taste buds will changed. Good luck.

I encourage everyone to shop at thrift stores because your sizes will be changing . I went from a size 32 pants to a size 12 pants now .

How great congrats I have 19 pounds to go until goal weight good luck. We got this.

You look great and you should be proud of yourself you have earned it. I know i use to hate clothing shopping and now I love it, fining cute clothes in your size has been a dream come true, keep up the great work you got this.

Hi i use to hate shopping but I love it now, why not go on a shopping spree i you do not want to buy all new clothes go to a consignment store and try on clothes that way you get your size and do not pay a lot of money for clothes that you will out grow. This is a very exciting time and your are going to have fun and trust me after hiding in oversize clothing you are going to want fitted clothes. I went from a size 32 to a size 12/14 pants size 3 x dress to a medium and swimsuit is a 12/14 . I love m new hour glass figure and i am proud to show it off. No more hiding in baggy clothes for me. Good luck you got this.

Congrats on your weight lost , i am also loving life and i think goals are important , I am 5 feet 11 and i lost 117 pounds what a difference that makes on your quality of life and your self esteem, I have learned so much about myself as well as learned who my true friends and support are. Who would have thought that I would be a gym buff when i could not even walk on a treadmill for 5 minutes and now i work out 7 days a week for 2-3 hours per day. You wanted a specific amount of weight to loose i wanted an hour glass figure and now i have that with my tummy tuck with muscle repair and weight loss surgery. Everyone you can do this keep up the great work.

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair when i was i year and 1 month post opt i was not at my goal yet but i had lost 119 pounds and my stomach look horrible, i have had no complications and i now have a hour glass figure that I love any my hubby loves, my kids calls my clothes doll clothes who would have thought to go from a size 32 to a size 12/14 pants and a 3 x dress to a medium. I research my doctors and had it done and i love the new me. I exercise 7 days a week for 2-3 hours and feel great. i still have 18 pounds to loose but even if i don't i know that i love me and i am still loosing inches every day. Good luck. I should motioned that I am 5 feet 11 inches and now I have hour glass figure. So discuss with your doctors they know best and my plastic surgeon work withy doctors .

I am 15 months post opt I went from a 48 DDD to a 38 DDD but I am loving the new me you got this you will see that it is not bad as you think. And if you still don't like them you can always get a breast lift or a good support bra.

Ladies until your weight stabilize i would shop at consignment shops , i learn the hard way with buying new clothes and wasting a lot of money i went from 32 pants to a size 12 and 14 pants now and a size 3 x dress to a size medium. when i clean out my closet i had nothing to wear. And I am 15 months post opt. Stay focus you got this. Good luck.
