You go girl! I agree that its hard! I always get at least 60 with my two daily shakes but need to focus more on foods with protein other than yogurt and cottage cheese. They are just the easy ones and really all im interested in.

Sure hope so otherwise its gonna be very hard to fit in clothes!

Yikes! Not fun at all. Why hands and wrists?? Have a fun ride home. Am on the way home from Milwaukee myself, 1hr 45 min. Son had his last weigh in preop. He will have the sleeve on Oct 21. He is waiting so he can finish the summer at his job where he gets some good overtime. Everyone at the office commented on how good I look which made my day. My son is also doing awesome at under 400lbs! I said by next summer we will be rockin!

Tried on my size 20 Levis today. Got them on fine but why must the waist be tighter when the butt and legs are already loose!?? very frustrating cuz I wanna be comfortable in my clothes not feel bound up with a tight waist!

Too funny! Im sure you are not minding! Dont think it really matters to a man what shape they are!

I am right with you! Old man wrinkly balls describes them to a tee! Was a full 44DD and proud. Now 4 months post op they are all flab and skin. Wonder what they will look like in another 50 or more lbs down?!! UGH!

Glad this experience is better for you! I totally get what you mean with weight loss. I am down 53 from 4-22 surgery and while I am happy with that, I was really wishing for more and faster. But in the end, I will take whatever I can get! I am sooooo glad I dont get sick on milk because I drink it everyday with my shakes. That was one thing I was worried about preop.

You are very talented! I really need to start a hobby now that I dont work. I read but that is not really productive!

I dont mind doing parties either. We used to do alot but its slowed down lately. I wont sleep until its over cuz I have things running through my head all the time. Got the tent up today so I feel 100% better now. Id come if you had a party! If I was closer that is!

I was dojng online schooling for medical assistant and I loved it! I only have 2 classes left but stopped because my back got so bad and clinicals were coming up. now im not sure if thats what I want to do. My week is gonna consist of entertaining my mom in law and getting ready for the party this weekend. Daughters grad party on Saturday and baby shower on sunday for niece and her twins. Thought we'd do them at same time since I'll have the tent up and tables and chairs rented. If we ever even get the tent up. Rained yesterday when i had the help and supposed to rain this afternoon. My husband and son work seperate shifts and its so hard to get them awake at the same time! I was 250 this am! Down 53 form 4-22 surgery and 90 all together! Weighed less than hubby for first time in long time! Am loving it. Foot is still swollen; went to urgent care and they didnt see a fracture. Am to go to orthopedist if swelli g continues. Such is my life!

This just happened to me too! I got my new scale Saturday and my husband was there when I tried it. I was 251 and he was 256. It had been FOREVER since I was less than him!

Safe but good!

Good for you! You are obviously the better person and it is time to move on. You have tried to remain polite but enuf is enuf! Yay for you!

Hope your day gets better my dear! She is obviously obnoxious and has no idea how to treat people! Write her off and move on to better things. She should be ashamed of herself! Hugs to you!

I'll be thinking of you! Keep me posted of what happens. Dont let them bring you down; you are way to awesome for that!

Stand your ground and let them know they were wrong! How much longer are you there for?

Yay for you! Congrats!

Did they apologize? Or seem remorseful at all? I feel so bad for you especially being stuck there.

Welcome Kyle. I had my surgery in April. My son is 22 and is having gastric bypass in September. He was 486, as far as he knows, at the highest. He has always been big and was a huge football player throughtout his school years. I think he really became motivated to lose once that part of his life was over. He started losing on his own before deciding to have the surgery. He just hit the 390's! I have tried to get him to join here but he hasnt yet. You look awesome, congrats on your success and best wishes!

Im so sorry! That is just a horrible way to treat someone, especially someone in the family! I wonder if they know how ignorant it makes them to judge someone else for the way they talk? I will NEVER understand how people can treat others that way. I could never in my life do that and intentionally hurt someone! I hope your husband continues to stand by you and lets his parents know how wrong they were! Time to go home and leave them to themselves. You do have an outlet and that is by venting here to people who wont ever judge you! You are a better person than they are as you are nothing but kind to us. Dont let their judgement bring you down my friend. You deserve much better! Hugs to you from way across the USA!♥
