The doc rushes through ur appointment, i would really YELL, i need help & take as much time i would like. Im 16 months out & i can eat anything but not that much, bread is not my friend. I only lost 55 pounds but i wouldn't change it for the world. Good luck

My condolences, be encouraged. .. I'm only 55 pounds lost 1 year & 4 months later. I've also had some major family issues, but im happy that I'm not where i used to be. A lost is better than a gain.

U look fantabulous, congratulations, how was recovery after the tummy tuck? What other surgery did u have?

Congratulations ???? ???? ???? ????

How much have u lost in 1 year. March made 1 year for me & I only lost about 47 pounds. Im now 1 year & 4 months and lost 55 pounds. My highest was 218, im 5'1 & now 164. My stomach is my biggest problem, wouldn't change it for the world. Congratulationssssssss to you.

You look fantabulous. .. Im 1 year out and only lost 55 pounds. I went from a tight size 18/20 & wear size 6 jeans now that are a little to big, i even have a size 4 white denim skirt. My only problem is my tummy, i look about 5 months pregnant. I can exercise much due to 2 back surgeries. I can't eat much, but i have been vacationing & drink8ng like a fish daily. As of this week alcohol is out during the week. Im thinking about a tummy tuck. Keep up the great work.

I'm kind of pissed because I can eat & drink everything, just in moderation.

Check with ur doc u might have a polinyduel cyst. Might not be spelled rightn but its a cyst on the tail bone, it hurt like hell, it was hot to touch & had to be surgically removed. Good luck.

???????????????????? u look fabulous.

How many grams of protein do u get in aday? I went on Premier Protein website and use their calculator, & it saw because of my height, weight & activity, i should be taking in 122 grams of protein a day. What do u think of this?

Anybody take fat buners after surgery?

Im 10 days out & down 13 pounds since surgery. Just walked for 1.42 miles, it took me 50 mins. I walked 25 mins in one direction & turned around to come back home. Woohoo I feel good. [ATTACH]43176[/ATTACH]

I walk a lil over a mile most days, some days I do about 5 miles. Friday I walked 2 & from the surgeon office, in total it took over 2 1/2 hours. I need to some strength training & I just did 5 leg raises jolding hubby ankles & he tried to pushed my legs back down when I brought them up. Slow & steady don't want to hurt my stomach.

Im 5 days post op how much Protein should I be getting in. Today I wss able to drink 2 125oz Protein shakes they have 23 grams of protein, for a total of 46 grams of protein. Drinking all that I only got in about 4oz of Water. How much of both should I be drinking?

Thank u, how many grams of sugar does it have?

Thats awesome...U got farther than I did so stick to it, you are doing great.

Noooooo don't do it. My surgery was cancelled because my insurance denied me at first, then it was scheduled again 3 days later. Stay on track, it will come when u lrast expect it & don't want to have to start all over. U will soon be on the loser's bench. Keep up the good work.

Just say you ate before u left the house & get a small plate & nibble. Good luck. Im 6 weeks out & just came from om the ER last night for stomach pain. My surgeon thinks I might have been eating to much, because I don't no my limit until it's to late & it hurts. So he put me back on liquids for 5 days ughhhh.

Thanks everyone this was very helpful for me.

Woohoo u look awesome. ..
