Hey LOSERS!!!!! Wanted to start a thread for us to update on our losses and share our success! Let's brag bc WE DESERVE IT!!!!! I was sleeved 12/4 I'm 26 and 5'10" SW 334 CW 266 GW 165 I have gone from a Size 30/tight 3x to a size 20/comfortable 1x shirts

Down 92 lb since Dec 4th 2014 and loving it! I have a lot more to go but so proud of what I've accomplished already

It's still early. I regretted until I could eat "normal" food again. When I have an extremely emotional day, sometimes I have two or three m&ms to cope. Helps me, and it's not a bag of Oreos like it would have been before. I regretted the surgery up until chicken and such were edible again. Once I could have my 4 bites of any protein rich dish I was feeling much better. Watching the weight fall off definitely helps too stay strong you will feel better

I'm 3. 1/2 months out. That feeling passes as you feel better and better as they days pass. Every time you put on an old shirt or pants and they are super loose you will have even more motivation.

I am just a few pounds from 75 lost myself. Its also a goal of mine. I made mini goals.. 50 lb down 75 lb down, 100 lbs down and then 10 lbs from that at 220 (weight I was when I met my husband 8 years ago) 199 (hitting onederland) 175 and then whatever happens from there! Small goals make it so much more rewarding!!!!

Personally, I have an after dinner snack of cheese or a small piece of chicken because I know I truly am hungry. I can't eat enough to stay full for 12+ hours! I have 4 bites for dinner at 5pm. That is NOT going to last me until 730am without wanting to eat. I have a piece of cheese or a small 3 bites of chicken at about 10pm to hold me over. If I don't I go to bed hungry and uncomfortable. I'm 3 1/2 months out and down 74 lbs. I don't think you can consider this sabotaging my entire process. But please feel free to bad mouth me if you feel it necessary. Seems these threads have gotten less and less supportive lately.

The more time out the less you will regret the decision. I went through the same thing. Best of luck!!!!

The extra air thing I don't think is true if your conscious about HOW you drink. The air would only be excess at the bottom of the cup slurping the last of the drink. As far as carbonation, it won't stretch the stomach but it is very much a concern of becoming addiction. Soda isn't good out of moderation and most people form an "addiction" and drink too much soda not enough water. This will cause dehydration and can cause weight gain. This is where the main concern is.

Omg so funny I had this happen last night. I didn't think I lost enough for this yet so I can't imagine another 100 lbs down and feeling it!!!!!

WOW, I think that sounds awesome, I never thought to go and have someone help me figure out my "new face" glad I saw this post!!!!

I think the only thing I miss at nearly 4 months out is dinner with my husband, a stay home dinner date with Chinese food and a movie... or going to a restaurant and splitting an appetizer and having an alcoholic beverage after a long week.... but for the weight loss? I'll get through it LOL

I got lucky with clothes. The store deb in our local mall was closing and I got jeans for 4 bucks each (next 3 sizes down) and shirts for 5 bucks. It was awesome. If not for that I just live in Wal-Mart's cheap sales lol

Agreed, I don't remember how long We waited but we just took it slow and steady to be sure it wouldn't be uncomfortable. As everyone said, be super careful and protected !

My legs!!!! If I didn't have knee high boots I never would have noticed. That and my neck. I've lost equally elsewhere because my shape looks identical to day 1 but I'm down 6 pant sizes so idk

5'10" 26 yrs old and 334 on DOS 12~4~14 And just weighed in at 262 this morning. 72 down, another 100 to go for a little under 4 months out I'll totally take it!!!

Down 70 lbs since Dec 4 2014

Quick question. What kind of exercise are you doing? I'm still mostly doing walking and some strength exercises but haven't really gotten back to the gym more than once or twice a week (I was going 5-6 times / week before surgery!). My progress is similar to yours (my surgery was 2 weeks after you) but I have 100 lbs more than you to lose. I am just curious if I should really be stepping it up and getting back to Water aerobics. It's just been a pretty brutal winter with a sinus infection that lasted several weeks and then lots of snow. The past two weeks have been warm, but I'm still in my old routine! I have a plan to amp it up, but am just curious what others are doing! To be honest with you, I'm in ny and the cold and snow has kept me in. I don't do much of anything as far as exercise, even with my gym membership. Have to start going again. It's getting nice so no more excuses! I've always hated working out... I'm ashamed of that but it's the honest truth. Its hard for me to motivate to work out.
