Congrats and welcome!

Congrats to you and your girlfriend, wish you all the success! welcome to the forum, you will have all the support you need here!

Never allow negative comments stop you from living a HEALTHIER life!! your stomach goes from a size of a football to a golf ball, you will have to put yourself back in the grove of things being tempted daily and trying to get your mind inclined with your journey will not be "easy" you will lose some friends, and gain some new friends. friendships/relationships will all change. you have to deal with body image, not in a bad way but slowly you will discover who you are underneath it all and you will start loving your new life. after its all said and done here comes the saggy skiin but don't look at it as another issue look at your body as a journal, and the skin will be your story of who you use to be and a old life you will not return to. no matter what we go through in life whether you are fighting obesity or drugs addiction you have to take it day by day.... its easy for a person to tell you how to get fit....but its all a bunch of bull....i use to go to the gym and reward myself after with a slice of pizza and a big mac....unless they walk in your shoes they would never understand how hard it is. now that you see they are not supportive don't offer or share your journey with them. just do your research, come on here, look at videos on youtube, go online buddy up with someone and you make a decision to change your life. people will criticize you, try to talk you out of it, give you some off the wall advice....do what your heart feels, and do whats good for your health....you can stay big and be miserable, or chose to take your life back that choice is yours! and when you are fitting in those skin tight jeans and pretty shirt, and your co-workers look at you wondering how are you doing it, tell them you didn't take the easy way out, you used a tool that help save your life! people kill me they will try and give you advice on dating and have no man of their own, go in to a beauty salon and a bald lady will tell me how to keep my hair long and curly..., then you have skinny people not understanding the struggles of being over weight, unhealthy, miserable, sick and the one thing they can say is go to the gym don't take the easy way out... this life change is far from a easy way out trust me! i say all this to say do your research and ask yourself whats good for you, forget what ppl say... good luck and you have all of us here who understand and can support you during this journey!!

More than likely if your taking Iron you will need a stool softner to go with it....it will help in that area...and drink lots of Water...I was like this in the beginning and this helped for me..if you are still unable to go ...try milk of magnesia or ask your doctor to give you something to help you through...it will get better

congrats i know the feeling! lol

Lmaoo we have 7 pages regarding gas....no one has more information on gas like us lol

Cross my legs, love my collar bone, smaller fingers and smaller toes, no more red marks around my belly when I wear pants that fit snug, (wearing size 11 pants now) no sweating when I walk, I can keep up with my kids, my kids can finally wrap their arms around me to hug me, I fit my teenagers clothes) I fit in a one seat on a bus or train without spilling myself into the next seat. So many other things, let's just say I am so happy that I chose to take my life back....who knew I was under all of that:)

Hope your feeling better. I think we all go though similar situations, for me I could be good on the outside feeling good, looking good, eating right, but somehow I end up in a funk... Thankfully it didn't last long for me....wishing u peace and light Harlem, good luck to u! Where did u have ur surgery? I had mine in Montefiore in the bronx

I say do what works for you, weigh your pros and cons and come to terms with what you need to do:) Good luck in whatever you decide:)

That's what we are here for, share ideas, inspire , make new friends

Lol I'm more like the walking dead.....whewww lol

Thanks Alex
