I have had dressing room anxiety for years. I have left crying or left and cried all the way home. I was in need of course of new capris today so I had to go shop. I grabbed some 12s I always grab bigger sizes and go down bad habit. Way big. I grabbed 9/10 which I am now in. Kinda big. I put on a pair of 7/8's. Fit perfect!!!!! I cried in the dressing room once more. Not meltdown tears but this time tears of joy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a little discouraged because I had a few rough weeks of cheating and being hurried. I think I am able to get back in track now. Don't give up!!!!!! Sleeved Nov 5th 226lbs April 21 160.0 lbs!!!!

I'm so thankful to Dr Walton. I hit the 60lb mark while on vacation ( I actually even wore bathing suits). I'm about 4 1/2 months out. I'm in love with this new lifestyle. !!!!

172 as of yesterday. My husband as much as I love him bought me a beautiful basket and there was nice things along with Candy lol. I love that man

Fridays weight 174!!!!

Today's weight 176!!!!!!!!!!!

I was stalled for about a week. Now the lb is off. It was my first stall that lasted more that 3 or 4 days. I have hit 47 lbs!!! I was at 226 now I am 179. I was sooo thrilled to be in the 100's too. Every time it a new number I do a happy dance. You are doing great. I think stalls are normal. I have made a deal with myself to never get too worked up over one. We will get past it !!!! The weight will come off it really will !!!! Good luck stay positive !!!

That is spectacular. I hope at my 1 year I am that close to my goal!!! Congratulations !!!

I posted somewhere else I'm not sure if it got to you. January 3rd my weight was 185 January 10th 182 January 16th (day early but I will be out of town) 180!!!!

How are you feeling today? I am so happy for you this has been a great journey for me and I hope it will be for you as well. I go in for my 3 Month follow up and I have never been more excited for someone to record my weight!! Best of luck Lucky!

Opinions please. My Dr and dietician are very very very anti carb no bread ever no pasta ever. I can understand but I'm not sure that I can sustain that forever. I found flax seed pitas. 8 carbs 6 protein. I thought oh yay. They said nope!!! I'm curious it what other doctors say. ( they are also against protein drinks which is great I eat high protein Which is easy). Oh I'm 7 weeks out 31 lbs down (since surgery) (43 total) 33 lbs to Go!!!!

My best advice is to listen and write things down. I was so happy but also very overwhelmed with all the information. Yes they give you a sheet but then the little details like w how long before I can take a bath. Or what did he say to do for this or that. They such a wonderful support system you can call and ask questions any time but it still made me upset not remembering. He is so awesome I am sure you know. Pain level. Well mostly I had a total full blown migraine so I took the pain medicine mostly for that. I came home on Wed took one dose Wednesday then one Friday and haven't had any since!!! Best luck in your surgery I am so excited for you. I had to buy some clothes and I did not have an anxiety attack in the dressing room. This is life changing in so many aspects and I am only 8 weeks out I can not wait to seee what is to Come. Please message me and let me know how your surgery goes !!!

Dr. Walton did my surgery on 11/5/13. I'm losing and happy !! Starting weight 226 Pre-op weight 214 Current weight 185. Goal weight. 145 I'm over half way. I cried when I hit 40 lbs.

This is great I have no idea what to expect I'm 8 weeks out and I have slowed down on the weight loss,but I am ready for some more support CW 185 GW 175

Yeah I'm totally living with the mentality if it's white it ain't right on grains. I haven't had white bread since my kids were little (16 years)I had white rice etc I just switched to wheat bread for some reason. I just had seen other bariatric patients talk about having whole grain breads etc. I plan on following My doctors advice best I can. No breads, no corn, summer squash, potatoes, rice. etc. Y'all know the drill. I was just really curious on what other doctors say on the wheat and whole grain. Like I said I know some doctors are big on protein drinks and protein bars and my doctor is not! So different doctors different plans. I'm doing too well to compromise my success. Oh my doctor encourages vegetables and only I have to have it one fruit a day with meals. 2 bites protein one bite veggie. It's a new learning experience and I am so fortunate to have this chance. I was cash pay so my husband is totally in board helping me.

Thank you so much I have really been very careful about following the rules. I feel mostly good but have had issues with bladder infections and being able to keep vitamins down. I have the vitamins solved I believe ( my memory was awful) I just am now starting to question my strength further along in my journey. No starchy carbs ever. Seriously is a scary thought I kinda miss bread, but I have gone 7 weeks without it and didn't die lol. I have always failed at "dieting" so now I'm scared I will eat the wrong thing and we all know that is a slippery slope. The past as I am sure most most of us have done: diet , cheat , feel like a failure, so we eat more. I just pray for strength it helps . Thank God for peanut butter 2 times a week it makes me so happy . Ok I did eat it 3 times this week because i was sick one day and I treated myself to a half teaspoon lol.

I bought new pants today. I love to shop I just couldn't help myself. I have not been in a size 14 in 8 years. I did a little happy dance!!! It has been worth every penny and every little thing I have been through. It hasn't been as bad as I was lead to believe. I've had it pretty good with just a few bumps. Even my boots fit better. I had to buy more a gal can never have too many shoes lol. But seriously my Dr doesn't like Protein shakes but I just can't eat in the mornings. I just wonder if I can drink part of one for now until I can eat. I'm not having hunger at all so I really have to remind myself to eat. Any suggestions?

That's great angel mom. I am Down 24 today. It's so exciting. I'm slowly adding exercise in. I wish there was a surgery to make me like that lol

I had surgery November 5th. I've lost about 21-22 lbs as of this morning. I had surgery on Tuesday went to work on Friday. No problems until the last few days. I'm battling constipation and can hardly get anything down. I'm better now but wow I was do scared!!!
