  2. I would like to be thin but I still want my curves.. hips and boob galore! lol After that a "ideal size or weight" hasnt been on my mind. If i end up a 0 but still have my ideal shape I'll be happy but if everything just flattens out on my I wont be
  3. in the same boat i try not to pay too much attention to the scale tho.. i do weekly measurement and i continue to lose inches!
  4. So my bucket list was pretty boring and simple before I even thought I would be able to lose weight! I hoped for common things like: Getting out of debut Advance in my career get my dream car blah blah blah But now that I have started dropping some lbs I feel inspired and I now dream of doing sooo much more like: Finally learn to swim (i was never comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit or want someone to have to carry my fat behind out of the Water if I drowned) I want to take a pole dancing class Travel overseas (not seat belt extension) run a marathon ride a rollercoaster (before I could never fit into the seats of the seat belts were too small) My list goes on and on with each passing day So what are you dying to do before you die now that you have started or completed your weight loss journey?

      You should have gone down about three sizes now.But 60lbs is a great accomplishment. gowalking made a good point our mind has to catch up with the reality of whats actually happening.

      It sounds like you are doing great! Don't let this get you down.. you are doing fantastic, 60lbs that you didn't have before. Keep you chin up :)

  6. In in the same boat! When i talked to my NUT I felt better. I lost alot of weight before surgery and really I only have about 50 lbs to go to get to the weight my doc wants me to be at so, weight wont come off fast for me. Also I do alot more weight training then I do cardio so Ive been "bulking up". I was eating alot of high sodium things like alot of cheese and salsa..so Ive been keeping water weight on me. I have my 6 week follow up next week and by then Id probably be down to 20 lbs since surgery which is still normal! Hope that this will give you some comfort! Good luck with everything!

    Im the same way! So far I lost about 60 lbs and I feel like I dont see any difference.. even some of my old clothes still fit me. So in my head I see that I can still wear a 18 and it fits so I know im still big!
  8. 1.2 lbs from being the smallest I've ever been in all of my adolescent and adult life!!!

      What a great feeling!

  9. All i had to to was answer a 500 question true or false test.. its had the most random and crazy questions I've ever been asked! Every where from "I enjoy the color cyan" and "my mother was/is a good person" to "I have thought about hurting myself or others" and "I tend to eat more when I feel sad"
  10. 5 weeks out and enjoying normal food again!!

      yeah,.....

  11. invest in unflavored protein powder..usual has low calories fat and sugar. Plus its easy to add it to everything. I add a tablespoon of it into my gravies, soups, sauces, yogurt, pudding etc. At first it wont seem like a lot but throughout the day it adds up. Just be careful not to add too much at a time or else you'll end up with a gross unbearable meal!

    Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?

    Ooo yeah I forgot Cavaretta got hurt! Im praying for you honey! I still think it will be pretty quick! Like i said they tried to schedule mine for 2 weeks after getting approved
  13. Soo Im realizing that I am a slow loser and Im actually happy about it! It will give my skin a chance to bounce back

  14. Kiara5244

    Cheated

    it would hurt you for surgery! the whole point of it is to shrink your liver and even if its just a tiny bit youll be fine...I know ppl who barely followed the reduction diet and still were fine. If anything they might have to cut you differently to make sure there is room to do the procedure

    Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?

    Once you get approved they seriously schedule you within weeks! like 2 to 3! so get ready you'll def have a Mat date!
  16. 1 month out!!! cant wait to try some sushi..with no rice of course!

      I hear you!!! I went to a Thai/pan restaurant and they had a sushi bar and it was burning a hole in my spirit LOL!!!

  17. How soon after surgery did you notice hair loss? Im only 2 weeks post op and Im starting to see big clumps
  18. really fighting head hunger! I "want" soo much but I actually never want to eat anything...its a little tougher than I thought

    1. Teachamy

      Teachamy

      Yup. I munch on sugar-free popsicles when I need to put something into my mouth. It helps and hydrates. I also FORCE myself into bed. I usually get "hungry" when I am tired. Weird how my brain misreads my body's signals. Good luck!

      I actually lost most of it even before my sleeve I changed how I was eating for surgery and then the liver reduction diets had me dropping pounds too

    How soon for hair loss?

    I have short hair and its all natural now so I know Im not crazy lol its alot of hair for now...idk maybe I wasnt getting enough nutrition during my pre-op and liver reduction diet? Ive been doing the same hair care regimen Ive always done. Idk it doesnt look like Im losing hair...yet at least so Imma try not to worry but if it gets back I'll be buying a wig lol
