Low BMI before and after photos?
Elode replied to calmclear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't recall having any real stalls but I also don't weigh that often so I wouldn't really know that for sure. I've noticed that when I do weigh now it's not as dramatic so now that I'm closer to goal I have to really work for it. -
Low BMI before and after photos?
Elode replied to calmclear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The face changes a lot!! I think the worst part of my body would be my arms! They do have some looseness to them that I HATE and my boobs shrunk, obviously not your issue...my stomach isn't "great" but I've lost 90+ lbs and have also had 3 c-sections so it was already shot. Hold on and I will add a picture of my stomach before and after,.... -

The cost is crazy! I have Federal BCBS and only had to pay 560 for everything but the bill to insurance was $38,000. Wow! I have a new luxury car for my stomach!! -

I'm not LOSING weight, I'm getting RID of it. I have no intentions of finding it again -
No, not everyone. Most.

Elode replied to Michelle Tarver's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Michelle Tarver I was the same way. I had to gain 8 lbs to qualify and keep it the whole 3 months. I know, ridiculous! -
@@samuelsmom Me too! Thank you!

@@Nikki Monroe Lol!! Yay! Now don't you feel better sharing that ha!! It's ok I'm sure there's a LOT of "embarrassing" issues we have all been through that aren't being shared. I'm proud to say I have not put any pants in harms way since dropping the weight. If you are a pair of pants you are safe in my presence!! -

@@jaterika You will be at that 100 before you know it. And I can almost bet you there will come a time when you cross a Full length mirror and it will hit you all at once. Keep up the hard work!

@@samuelsmom Congratulations on your success thus far!

I forgot to mention after not wanting to leave the house for so long now I've planned a trip with the kiddos to Colorado starting Thursday for a full week! I've planned a rafting trip, ziplining, hiking!!! The amount of stuff I want to do now is just crazy! I can't stand to sit in the house any longer!! It's like I'm trying to make up for all my fat years where I was to ashamed to get out and do anything. I'm so excited you just have no idea, I may drown out there but dang it I will be out in the world!!!

@@natnat919 And with some hard work you shall have that again! I think the best thing about your situation is you have a whole lot of different things driving you for motivation! I can't wait to hear your new stories that this life brings! Good luck!!

There's a 90% chance your hair will start to fall out......I'll just leave this here. That's all

Mine started falling out the week after my 3rd month anniversary. It noticeably slowed down in my 7th month. I now have all these little fluffy short hairs around my head. I'm hopeful it will come back in given time. Scary, though, when it's happening.

Pureed foods, really?
Elode replied to Jim in Utah's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
But with that being said I mainly stuck with refried beans and ricotta cheese bake. They really are good though. -
