I so wish I could donate these things to you cuz they are causing me even more back issues since I've lost more weight. I went from 48 HHH to a 42 G. Lost a total of 152 lbs so far & I'm doing all I can to strengthen my back but I run into aches at least 3 times a month. I was foolish to not want any other surgeries either but now I want them decreased in size & all the excess skin removed. Hell if possible I'll increase my buttocks a bit. My mother seems to think I'm addicted to surgery now at I'm on this line of thought. I'm comfortable with me but why not get it the way you want if you can..

All of the above.

Still trying to figure it out. Lost 125 so far & still dropping sizes. Sometimes I can do some food, less portions, more exercises... Just saying it's all inconsistent & believe me I'm not complaining, but this post is for the vets to explain expectations of weight loss surgery.

I have stuff I've never worn that's gotten too large for me to wear that I guess I'll try & sale. Yes, love the benefits of being able to get around quicker or without as much of a hassle as before. The simplest things we'd lost the ability to achieve are now within our eye sight. I've had a pot belly for so long it's been a reliable ritual to try moving around it but the joy of moving past it has gotten easier.

Yea, I've got locs too. I am worried because if my hair thins I know they will start to break off and then I will have to cut them. I've had them for 15 years and it would be a drag to have to start all over again. I am hoping I am one who does not get the hairloss. I noticed major losses in my locs, thinner roots, but I'm hanging in there. They aren't where they were when I began the growth it out but it's still growing & holding strong. I was tempted to cut it all off though because it's noticeable to me, but oil treatments & more gentle care have been working out this far.

It's been a bit over a year & I've lost a little over 100 pounds. For the last 4 to 5 months the numbers on the scale aren't significantly changing but my pants sizes are still dropping 1-2 sizes per month. I'm happy I'm still making strides but curiosity has me wondering why it's happening this way & who has similar things happening. Please share...

Yesterday I drunk a shake only because I had to get my protein in but wasn't hungry at all... The night before I was starving & I ate chicken tenderloin & broccoli. It's not so much as irritating as it is trying to understand what is going on...

Yeah... chicken tenderloin are generally the same (1-2) but fish varies. I bake nearly all the meats I consume... 4oz fish fillets I used to be able to eat the whole thing but now if I'm really starving I get less down. I've noticed the hungrier I get the less I eat. Soup is crazy to me cuz it's never consistent, whether its just both or veggie or meat inside, doesn't matter.

11 months months out & I've lost over 100 lbs. Throughout the time I've noticed I can sometimes eat more than usual & by that I don't mean over eating. It simply takes more to get me full than other times. This varies from day to day & I don't understand why... One day I can eat a cup of veggie soup, the next I can barely get a cup down. I'm not complaining just bad for when I want to measure all my meals. I've heard several ppl mention this after weight loss surgery but I don't know if they all have a day to day, & even within the same day, reaction. What causes this? Is this normal? Who has this same concern besides me?

I think it's on your comfort level. Pre surgery @ 370 I'm at my 9 month mark & I'm currently weighing in at 280. I still have a gut & it doesn't look like I've lost the amount I've lost. Before surgery I lost 34 and so I'm looking for my comfort level. Not satisfied with my body yet so I'm gonna keep going & I only set out to for 100 off. Go figure. No I'm not a vet but I can understand where you're coming from...

I lost 85 pounds & 5 sizes since April 23, 2014 for me. Crazy part about my weight loss story is my weight dropped within 6 months & when the weight stopped going the sizes went down 3 times. My waist holds all my weight so I'm just looking to drop more sizes asap.

Can't go wrong with soup, pudding or just water.

Thanks. I go to see him next month. I'll be sure to ask about it. I mentioned it before but I guess he wrote it off as post op gas. See like I just got up for work & I haven't eaten nor am I hungry but this damn noise is going. If it stops it's probably because I stopped paying attention.

Well I have plenty of gas but mine doesn't stink. And I have to really push like I'm on the toilet at times to release em. Not so often as 5 minutes but at least once every 2 to 3 hours. The gurgling is what gets on my nerves. People ask am I ok and I'm like yep. Lol.

I still can't burp. I used to get out really long hard ones before but now I can only inhale & hope the gas comes up. My doctor told me back at my 3 months check in that some people don't get it back & some do. It's been this long but I'm still hopeful.
