Oh I just saw you 61 day post!!! Congrats!!

I remember missing crunchy food!!! All three of my aunts who had the surgery kept telling me to eat one thing "PORK RINES" now I know people are going to disagree... I must of told then no 50xs before finally giving in at around 1 month post op.... And they were HEAVEN! I took little bites.. Did NOT eat the super hard crunchy ones and just chewed them up until they all but dissolved in my mouth.... Before I ate those I would snack on a couple gerber baby puff treats ... But they're high in sugar and everything else except protein where as the pork rines have a bunch of protein... just a suggestion

Depends on how far out u are... It may just be a long irritating stall.... Don't get discouraged

OMG AARVAL! You look great!! So skinny now!!

Wow!!! I have been MiA the last 2 months and i didnt even recognize you!!!!! You look fantastic!!!

Niiiice!!! Woohooo!! Bet your back is screaming THANK YOU!!! I've only gone down in my strap size not cup...still a DD but they are sagging.... no longer supported by my belly, lmao!

Unfortunately, I'm four months out and STILL get the "foamies". Wish I had some advice but I've learned it just -happens- Hope you feel better!

E-Cig!!!! My mother sent me the BLU ecig on August 8,2011... and I haven't had one since then! I was a pack a day menthol smoker and that thing helped A LOT! Good luck on quitting!!! I know it's hard at first but it's worth it!

I am so very sorry. The only advice I can think of is about that drawing..... Don't let it get to you so much, soon you'll be a stick figure too :)

I'm sorry you feel aweful although protein is VERY IMPORTANT .. You are only a couple days out of surgery the only thing you NEED to get in is water and as much protein as you can... My doctor told me to just worry about WATER ... Sip sip sip walk walk walk.... And about the diarrhea ... I was the same way ... Almost messed myself a couple times... I was told its because of several things but completly normal. Hang in there... The beginning can be very rough for some of us (my first month was AWEFUL!!!) but it's completly worth it!!

Awesome!!!!! And yes you do!! Didn't you wanna do the happy dance when you hit 50lbs gone!!!!!! I was in my doctors office and litteraly pumped up my arms and shouted "woohoo" the nurses came in to make sure I was ok and after they saw tears of joy they knew ..... I'm so emotional lmao!!

Thank you!! && So far 50lbs

Wow!!! You all look great!!! Heres me today .... All black .... 8 weeks post op. (first picture taken in doctors office before surgery)

Lmao!! Love that!

I was just thinking the same thing!! Also, I'd like to be able to just Jump out of the pool instead of waddling out like a sea lion or having to always swim to the stairs (not the metal ones cause I'm terrified my fat ass will rip them of trying to tug my big butt out!!)

Starting weight- 271 7wks post op -221 Loss to date - 50lbs

I'm almost 7 weeks post-op. and I go to the gym every other day..... but I still dread it.... I haven't reached that point where I strive on the work out..... Instead, I jog on the elliptical and steady watch the time and distance.... Waiting for it to be over cause it hurts and I always feel like I can't catch my breath............. Please tell me this has happened to some of you and eventually it gets easier .........

You all have some great tips!! Thank you I'm going to try a work out video today.... Let's see if that's more my enjoyment..... If not, time to wrangle up a buddy or two and hit the gym Maybe when I lose some more ill get a trainer if it's still to hard Thanks again, everyone!!

Glad he's doing well!!! And Lol about the ice chips...... I swear ice has become my BEST FRIEND after surgery!! Warm drinks make me gag, they HAVE to be super cold!!!

I think you're right about the Gym buddy!! I need to convince some of my friends to just "join" me ,-) .... I usually listen to pandora durring my work out even tried watching a show on Netflix.... Years ago I would read while walking on the treadmill or bike..... Hopefully it just takes time.... Once I don't have as much weight on me I pray it just get easier

I agree with ALL of yours!!!

Sending you both loads of positive thoughts and prayers!!! Hope he has a smooth surgery && a speedy recovery!!

Not sure how your doctor is about the gain but mine was actually not surprised when people gained... his response in group was "well, if you were capable of doing it ALL on your own, you wouldn't exactly need this surgery, would ya" Plus you have health reasons .... Talk to your Dr. I'm sure he/she will be supportive!
