Wow! That's impressive! If you don't mind how's your skin? You lost more in the year than I am going to be, and skin is such a problem Congrats on your wl!!! Surgery date 7/25/12

My skin is horrible. My skin can't hold moisture to save my life. I break out on my face all month long & they are huge pimples. It's really embarrassing and gross. My doc says it gets better but it's still pretty bad. Good lotions and good facial junk but no real relief. Surgery date 7/25/12

I did sugar free cinnamon disk things they were great the first month for me. I could do sugar free Popsicles so candy was a God send Surgery date 7/25/12

You're lucky you got to throw it up! I can't ever seem to throw up anymore no matter how miserable I am!!!!! Surgery date 7/25/12

My surgeon prefers decaf but is okay with regular coffee if we double the amount with Water. So if I drink an 8oz cup I drink an extra water bottle 16.9 that's hard but sacrifice I'm willing to make Surgery date 7/25/12

Great job! It's amazing what God can do in a year. Keep it up! Surgery date 7/25/12

Good luck!!!!! No weights just cardio and lots of Protein.... Protein.... Protein! Surgery date 7/25/12

It's HARD! Besides emotional eating my family celebrated everything with food! When I'm sad/mad/time of the month I snack but stupid stuff like carrots or apple for the crunch... Lame I know! I have bite size chocolate for a craving (I don't dump) but approach with caution! For the time of the month. It's all a learning experience. I can't eat cake ice cream and McDonald's when I'm sad or mad. I deal with it. Find your alternative within the limits of what you can do. I like to freeze Water with crystal light and slushy it. I need to figure out how to not Celebrate with food! My family is the worst!!!!!!! Surgery date 7/25/12

Lol totally normal! Not really funny but I was a mess! I remember watching chopped and i was balling because the guy got chopped for leaving out his mystery ingredient. At that very moment I realized this is not me!!!! I cried about everything and anything. food, not being to drink Water, someone looked at me weird, a commercial, my daughter telling me no. It lasted a while for me but when I told dr he said normal from released hormones. Surgery date 7/25/12

I got mine the day I was discharged and it lasted like 2 weeks no stops! But it did lighted up the last week or so. It did suck! Surgery date 7/25/12

I'm right there. I've been an avid old navy shopper since surgery for the deals and I'm shocked when I move down. But I have been avoiding Victoria secret. And in other stores when shopping I feel like what the heck am I doing??? But last weekend went to VS and bought cloths:)) I still feel weird I'm in denial but love my new cloths and love that I'm going down just wish my brain would hurry up and catch up already! Surgery date 7/25/12

Happy one year to you! You look fantastic. A whole new person. Very happy for you! Surgery date 7/25/12

So I started jogging last Thursday on the treadmill at the gym. I did good never thought that day would ever come when I could speed walk! Now I'm up to jogging. Today is attempt at day 3 jogging (gym schedule). I have the energy to do it and I'm doing it. I just get this funky feeling like people are watching me. I look around a few times to see people behind me not paying attention to me and then I go! Lol can anyone relate? I still see the 389lb girl who should never run. And I couldn't get my target heart rate on elliptical anymore. I'm also doing Zumba 3 times a week... Loving it! But I'm in the back of the room and self conscious about people seeing me. Lol. Ugh. I'm weird! Surgery date 7/25/12

Congrats!!! Happy for you! Surgery date 7/25/12

How'd we miss this? I think in general all men want to be taken care of. My husband has some of these things going on too, but since we both work full time and I just graduated from grad school he was kinda on his own when it came after cleaning up after himself. Hope things are better for you lately. Surgery date 7/25/12

Protein drinks have calories. Is he talking soda? Punch? Tea? Etc. but if that's what's he's upset about if you took out your liquid calories and just drank Water does he think your going to drop? Surgery date 7/25/12

Awwww :') THANK YOU! Cloud 9 going on over here Surgery date 7/25/12

White tongue is defiantly dehydration! I waited a couple extra days when i started feeling all these things. You only feel worse. I went to urgent care at the request of my surgeon and got 2 bags of Iv I walked feeling 100% better. I wouldn't wait. Surgery date 7/25/12

I went!!! I went into VS! we went shopping and my hubby went into game stop and I was not interested so I went in. Grabbed the shirts I've been eyeing and headed to the fitting room. Tried it on and couldn't be happier it fit good it's a Large! Bought it! Will wear it next weekend at the game! Surgery date 7/25/12

First off you look amazing! We are the same I'm also 10 months and have been stuck since march. I still feel fat and see the same ol me. I just started Zumba in and back to Protein shakes. I have been stuck at 240 forever! Starting was 389. My goal is 190 so I have 50 more lbs and I want to do it by 16 months.... So I'm giving myself 6 months. Message me we can do this! I'm here for ya. Lets push through and get to our goal. I can't say our brain will catch up but we can do it!!!! I used to do side by side and stopped that too when I just gave up and didn't see what everyone else saw in me. I needed to reevaluate the situation and push through I've been in Zumba 4 times a week and cardio and toning 2. And up up up the protein. And Water.... Boo lol I'm not a water fan Surgery date 7/25/12

I don't have a mark I never thought of that :/ shucks!!!! I do reward myself with cloths and and purses now that I don't spend so much on food, Starbucks (defiantly!) Surgery date 7/25/12

I always go by the least # lol At home I'm 240 at the gym with the old school moving things scale I'm 235 And I think I'm less because I jump on the scale post workout trench in sweat Surgery date 7/25/12

I also moved myself to the next stage one night ahead (dinner) that was from puréed to soft food I ate a piece of chicken breast. I thought I chewed enough but since it was my first food in about 3 weeks or a month (don't remember) I did throw it up. I wouldn't move ahead of schedule keep busy!!! Good luck Surgery date 7/25/12
