I need to share this because over a year ago, I was the one looking for post of people that were post op and finally got pregnant with PCOS. Polycystic Ovary syndrome can feel like all womanhood is gone and leave you infertile. I was diagnosed back in 2006 and never was informed to take any meds or anything just lose weight to normalize my hormones.
Well I could always lose a few pounds 10-20 but it looks like 100 lbs was my magic number because around the time I hit that milestone, I find out that I am pregnant...the real thing, not a faint line, not just feeling pregnant, all 4 test were positive and I am 3 weeks late and my husband and I are so shocked and scared at the same time so we're keeping this under wraps until the doctor says it's all good and we make it out of the 1st trimester!! It's funny because we had just decided to give up on the baby thing since our daughter is heading off to college this upcoming year, we said, it's finally our time, let's move to Cali and rekindle what the kid took for the past 17 years and then GOD says, hey, who asked me my timeline?!?!?!....lol....and now HIS work will be done on HIS time and not mine!! AMEN
We do plan on telling our moms at Christmas dinner, lets see who hits the floor first...LMAO!!!! P.S. his mom is like 20 years older than mine, my mom, will jump up and down screaming, his mom is going down...I'M SO SURE!!!! Were we wrong to seriously make that $50 bet, because we sure did!!!!!!
Good luck ladies and Happy Holidays ALL!!

*First is my MAJOR scale victory, I am 100lbs down as of Sunday. Hw 290, Sw 282, Cw 190 from a size 20/22 to a size 8/10. Shoe from size 9W to an 8 regular.
*I no longer snore at all, which is big for me since it recently started and was so loud and disruptive to both my family and I. Now, nothing at all, they say im so silent they wonder if im breathing. I sleep so much better and more comfortably.
*Also, the late night cravings have gone away and I never wake up at night anymore so no more late night snacking.
*I no longer have pain from my Fibromyalgia and have stopped my medications completely!!!! I hate meds!!
******Sad to say that I have had serious negative responses to "MY LIFE" decision, here are some of the daggers in my heart...
-I've had family tell me, I didn't need the surgery, I was pretty enough even though I was "BIG"! As if I am so vein that I would do something so serious to my body just to look good...smh
-I was told, "I don't like this on u, it's not YOU, you're not meant to be this small"...SMH
Then, "I could never make myself sick every day just to look good". WAH? Who's that, I'm not sick at all...uneducated speakers make me wanna vomit if that's what u mean...UGH.
-another family member, "don't lose no more, we have enough crackheads out here, wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea". WTF???
THEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF ALL.....
-My husband threw me a big party when I hit my first goal of 200lbs. I invited all my favorite girls to a Glam Session to do makeovers and a photo shoot (my first pics public photos other than on BP) as a girls night but also as a celebration of my successes since at that time, I had also gotten a raise at work (Which is also suspect), a new luxury apt and a new car. I struggled over 2 years to gain these things from a 1 bedroom box apartment and no car to the new life that my hard work paid for. Do you know one friend was heard saying, "Why she gotta show off, now she think she something special because she lost weight, who's gonna shrink her head?" This hurt me the most because my husband offered me anything I wanted to Celebrate and all I asked is that he treat me and my girls, 17 of us to catered food from Carrabbas (My Fav), dj for the room, make up sessions with Mary Kay, we had a pure romance presentation, a man that was selling jewelry to enhance our look and a photographer to document the whole evening and take personal photo shoots as well, all this at no cost to them and this man made that happen just to celebrate me and my accomplishments and I was extremely thankful beyond belief but also so hurt by not only the person making the comment but the 4 that entertained her, 2 by saying, "that's alright, when she fall, she gonna fall hard" "she got a new 2014 car but just asked me for $60 bucks just last week, she's a phony" -this was when I lost my bank card and had to wait for another and she was with me so I asked her instead of calling my husband. Lesson learned!
Basically I learned that people are not always who you think they are. Thank God I did what I did for me and not to impress anyone or seeking anyone's approval. I am happy with my decision and since I've noticed that ppl seem to be down for you as long as you stay down in life...on their level perhaps but the minute you move up, now your not good enough for them. I have since been uninvited to 4 events and the excuse was, " Oh I thought You'd be busy or traveling" REALLY? I was suppose to be celebrating but I literally cried for 3 days. Beyond the gains (materials) and the losses(weight), I thought I had support. I learned an ugly lesson that day and here's some I wish to pass on...
Make your moves for YOU!, Seek only approval from YOU! Make sure you have a true support system. Then my daughter sent me a comment picture that reads,"Don't dim your light simply because it's shining in their eyes" That's for you too. Be positive and don't let the haters tear you down.
I don't have a positive relationship with my family, been on my own since 16, so these women have always been around but now that I can't even share my life losses or gains with them...my husband is taking me away from it all, no more pain, no more tears, no more haters, we are moving to California, his home town and I will make new friends and hope and pray to share a good life together. He even says we will renew our vows so I can get a new dress vs the size 26 I had to wear in Jamaica. After 18 years, we will renew our vows in Santa Monica!!! Haven't told any of them yet but I bet they act like they care... but they probably don't and who cares, I'm over it!! It will be a last minute goodbye and an AWESOME 2015!!!!

I am happy and I will continue to be, I could have uplifted others but I will reach out to the real ones and help bring them up and we can pray together for those too busy hating on others to ever come up in life!! Good riddance to em'...
Love you guys, needed to get that out!! Thanks, whew!

Hey yall. I haven't been on here in forever. RNY has turned me into a fertile Myrtle. I got pregnant again 4 months after having my 2nd son while on bright control and exclusively breastfeeding. I had my 3rd son 2 weeks ago! So I now have a 15yr old, 13m old and a 2w old. I did gain 50lbs with the last pregnancy but lost 38 in 2 weeks! God is good! I am so blessed and thankful.  

Haters will Hate... You have done amazing and keep on the journey. There will be negative ninnys in every croud. I was told to stop loosing weight you are getting too thin..... size 12 weighing 176 lbs... See most people don't even know what a healthy weight is. Either they are fat, they have seen you fat for the whole time or you feeling bad somehow makes them feel better. I say go for it girl.... Dance Sing, where clothing you would have never put on... enjoy life!!!!

I tell ya this past wknd I seen friends that I hadnt seen oh in about a month or so..I am pushing mid 90 something loss an let me tell ya I GOT THE STARES!! I felt like every eye was on me. I tried my best to ignore it. wasnt easy. a close friend of the family came over to me an said YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN! your losing too much weight! I just kinda grind an said well my body is finally doing what its supposed to..got my thyroid med where it needs to be. I said I just made radical lifestyle change like my mom an sister did an its finally coming off. I said Im not slowing down! if it comes off it comes off. it took everything I had to hold my toungue! its not that they are haters here but they were shocked of seeing a almost 100 pd weight differance. I have always yoyo'd for 25 yrs. I guess I dont see that HUGE of a differance but eveidently it is a HUGE differnace..lol..one of my gf's I told her I whispered to her an said its already started! about me losing to much weight(an I still have another 40 or so to go) she said a person cant never lose to much weight! yea she is a very committed ww person. accountable for every pound. I cant imagine the looks I'll get as the wks go on!

First, YOU GO GIRL! Congrats on the awesome accomplishment!! My highest weight was 290 and I can't wait to be 190!!
Second, "Let your haters be your motivators!" ???? I love your positive attitude.

Praying for a healthy and happy pregnancy, mommy, and baby!

Congrats to you, I am so happy for you!

God is good!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

Losing weight will definitely show you who your friends are. One of my pre-op requirements was for me to see a psychologist. He told me there would be people who weren't happy with my weight loss. He said there are people who's only link to me is my weight. I was surprised when he said it but I had surgery just two months ago and have lost 30 pounds. I've had some strange reactions and some real "haters". It's taught me to let go of the haters and embrace those who love me for me, no matter what size. It's also brought me and my "honey bunny" much closer. He's become even more of a protector which I love. Gravitate towards love and close the door on the haters. In the words of Jill Scott:

"Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be mad, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me"
Do you my friend

You know the truth, those who truly love you know the truth, the haters also know the truth, but they have to cut others down to make their miserable little lives better... HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND WALK PROUD!!! You've come a long way to have anyone bring you down !!

SERIOUSLY???!! there is only 3 ppl that knows the truth of my weight journey an I am not about to start. I am soo sorry you had to deal with this neg garbage. it is jealously and many ppl cant handle change. thats why many just stay the same an when others around them do it rocks the boat. Im sitting here shaking my head side to side for ya. I do have one friend that has asked me how I have been losing..I am down 88 so not to far behind on the big 100!! but I told her (shes over 300) I told her I had to get off that path bc I was reaching close to the 280s and I had to STOP it dead in its tracks! I refused to stay on that toxic road. I told her I stopped all junk, no processed sugars, no HFCS, no modern grains, no wheat, got off all artifical sweetners and on a very strict diet an total portion control...which is no lie. I made these dietary changes over a yr ago. but I thought just maybe down the road I MIGHT clue her in on a few other details. I have over 12 dx on health issues an fibro is one...the first month out I felt decent..man after a month my body went into a rebellious flare!! alothough I also have lupus and polymyalgia so yes there is still alot of chronic pain...but Im managing. I am happy to hear your physically feeling much better an off meds! I am however off my cpap machine. prediabetes disappeared..bp is normal! my hubs cant keep his hands off me!! drives me nuts..u keep shinning girl and dont get brought down! keep chin up and head held high!! keep strutting gf!!!!

Sounds like you need a better class of friends.
Your husband and daughter seem to know how lucky they are!

Heck w them! Wow ! U r great and look beautiful and inside n out. That man loves u and that shows who really knows n loves u! And your daughter. Head up move on, life moves forward. Karma gets ur back! Stay wonderful n beautiful cause real people w brains are showing u how wonderful u are!

Some people are so self-involved and jealous, they never learned how to be a friend. I pity them, but I'm happy that you have such a wonderful husband and things are looking so positive for you. You don't need those petty witches with a b.

Girl you are rocking life! Leave them chicken heads in the dust! Now you know who your true friends are.
Congrats on all your success!

Congrats to your success! I wish you and your husband the best!! Thank you for warning us about heartless people!

You go and shine in California. Leave them all to their despicable little lives. I have a hard time relating to people who can hate this much. Wow! You are so right, you never know who is your friend until the getting gets though. Obviously seeing your success is too much for them to handle.
You are on the path to better and greater things, shine on!

Sorry u had to experience that nasty bussiness they say misery loves company well they all have each other now don't they? rise above and keep going your husband sounds like a godsend how wonderful so be happy leave the negative where it belongs behind u congrats on your new life and hopefully better new friends to come ! I can somewhat relate I'm still pre op and have lost some friends already it devestated me for a while and I thought u know what I'm doing something different and nessecary to change my life for the better u can walk with me or stay behind but I will cannot and will not tolerate negativity and bitchy jealous judgemental people

Stay focused on the good stuff! You're a rock star!
