@@segatz80 Thanks for your honesty about life further out from surgery. I'm not as far out from surgery but I'm pretty motivated in this part of my weight loss. If I can help let me know.

@@LipstickLady My husband told me instead of buying grocery's for one dinner meal. I should buy groceries for a month and see if anyone wants to pay.

@@blacktee92675 I also have been married for 20+ years. So, I have been out of the being single stage for many years. Maybe things have changed in the world of pick up tactics.

@@Rovobay Got a good chuckle. I have a question. What is the deal with working out with a hoodie on?

@@anw1588 know you are beautiful. It's all a part of our battle wounds with weight loss surgery. Shapers will help. If you are lucky enough to afford plastic's that's great. There are worse things in life than loose skin.

I'm the same as @Mike4132. I hiccup or burp. It's my signal to stop.

No offense to men that are reading this thread. But I would love to hear a guy's take on all this.

@@VSGAnn2014 *laughing* I'm trying to envision women standing around the grocery store waiting to buy a guy's groceries. I guess food is the way to your heart. LOL

@@sa1976 Wow look at you! thanks for the before and after pict's. You have done amazing.

@@mi75 Funny that we have no control over where the weight comes off first. I had small chicken legs and a big middle for quite a while. Just know It will all balance out in time.

@@joatsaint So excited for you..Do you have a 5k run in mind that you plan to participate in?

@@catlover2565 It's fine to be nervous. I was hyper sensitive to being on track. You are doing fine with your weight loss. Like @@JamieLogical said. It's a good thing to know if your blood work is out of wack. Just needs to be adjusted.

@@zsmom2003 For me at three months my weight loss started slowing down. Calories, I was also at 700. I realized at that point that my honeymoon phase was over. I am one of those people if I don't move the scale does not move. Be patient with yourself weight loss rates are different for all of us.

Fantastic! 8 months out so impressive. What do you plan to do to celebrate onderland?

@@Monasongbird_38 Wow, Maybe it's my age or lack of experience with this... but men really do this? Yes, Take it as a compliment!

@@AvaFern Yep, It's my inner fat girl. I have that standoffish personality as well. I'm trying to shake it.

@@Pepper123 I guess it's nice to get a bit of attention. But it's strange at the same time...Just wanted to ask..Do women do the same to men after weight loss surgery? Do men get the same reaction?

@@*Lexie* I'm still not sure how to take what he said.

After a consult with my trainer today he said....I need to back off from my workouts. I'm over training.

My local support group is geared toward people in weight loss mode. The information presented seems to be repeat. I have met some vet's and they are great support. They do not attend regularly and quite a few have dropped out completely.

@@CanyonBaby Hummm who are "they" that say if you don't have a hobby by 40 you won't have one? *laughing* I am living life up at 46. I'm an adrenaline junkie! Always up for something new. Never to old to live an amazing life Hobby's kayaking Distance run's for our vet's, cancer and diabetes I'm a gym rat. An hour of cardio 6 days a week. added weight training 3 days a week for an hour Snow shoeing and a natural hot spring soak concerts with my youngest son. He's in his 20's and having a hard time keeping up with an old fart. (Band in this moment (love Maria Brink) and Band nothing more I want to see this summer)

@@Idonerds For some of us it seems that with weight loss surgery you project a positive and confident self image. People seem to approach and talk to you more.

Slow cooker pulled pork. chicken or beef fajitas (no tortilla) Baja Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa (no tortilla) Chicken curry shrimp kabobs Broccoli white cheddar au gratin asparagus wrapped in prosciutto sliced Pear blue cheese and a candied pecan Peanut Butter sugar free pudding - Crumbled sugar free short bread cookie topped with smuckers sugar free fudge and chopped nuts...Two bites and my sweet tooth is gone.

Check with your Dr. to see if all is well. Sorry to hear about having complications. I hope from here on out all will go as planned.

@@JamieLogical Pictures I think I can handle seeing. My husband said I need to put one next to the bed and one on the bathroom mirror. Trying to get my head to catch up to the weight loss.
