Obviously she's uneducated about WLS and I'm sure she probably has her own struggle. Obesity is an obvious struggle, hers is hidden. WLS is far from "The Easy Way Out". It's a tool but not a miracle and it does get harder once you're able to eat anything and hunger pains kick back in. I have to daily make a conscience effort to eat healthy. I have to watch others eat all the junk they want and not gain weight.....but I'm making healthy choices and putting food that nurtures my body. Use it as a tool and ignore comments from people that are clueless. Keep you head up and good luck.

WOW!! You're doing great! I'm sure you're feeling great as well. Keep up the great job!!

You can do it and you will make it. I suggest making healthy choices. I would limit carb intake as much as possible and try to eat healthy fats and get in the habit of eating protein. Good luck!!

Amazing! Glad to see you're doing well. I will be a year out on the 31st and I've lost 100 pounds. I know our surgery dates were around the same time.

You looking amazing. To me you look like you're already in the 180's. Great job and keep it up.

I've lost another 10 pounds since the picture on the right.

I've lost another 10 pounds since the picture on the right, for a total of 100 pounds.

Thank you for sharing. Congrats to you on your 100lb loss! ! That's awesome! Cant beleive they removed your gall blader and fixed hernia...that's alot! I'm nervous about so many things but one of my biggest fears is getting a leak. I have heard a few horror stories. I also want to be able to get all my fluids in those first few days. Everyone says that it's hard at first but that it gets easier as time goes on. Just want to get this weight off already. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App It's not going to be a walk in the park but it's well worth and gets easier with time....well somewhat easier. The head hunger and desires kick back in over time. So make sure you start making healthy choices from the beginning. I have been doing combination of Whole 30 and Paleo eating/dieting for the the last month. The more I eat healthy the more I want to and crave healthy foods. My hospital gave me a ton of the one ounce medicine cups and told me to sip one every 10-15 minutes. I did that for the first 3-4 days but got tired of filling those little things up so started drinking out of a regular cup or bottle. It did help me from drinking too much at one time. You will do great! Just stick with the plan and start making healthy choices from the beginning. If you see you're picking up bad habits put a stop to them before they get out of control. Good Luck!!!

Hello all! It's normal to be nervous. As long as you follow your surgeon and NUT's instructions you will be fine. July 31st is my 1 year anniversary. I've lost 100 pounds. I would like to lose another 10 pounds but I'm happy either way. I feel better and have a lot more confidence. I was out of work for 2 weeks and 3 days. I had gastric sleeve, my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia. The health benefits outweigh the risk. Good luck ladies.

Thank you for the tips!! I'm excited and I need to lose 15 more pounds. I already love avocados. I'm going to miss my coffee creamer and cheese.

Any tips?? Starting on Monday. Do you know if you can use mint? Herbal teas? I know you can't use sweetener natural or artificial.

Hey! I'm 10 months out and super pleased with success. However, I recently started experiencing difficulty when swallowing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have they checked your iron??? I kept having pains and other symptoms. Come to find out my iron was really low. Started a supplement last week and I'm having less pain and more energy.

WOW!!! You look fantastic babbs!!! WOW!!! Looking great

Not quite a 100 pounds yet....but 83 at 7 months out. I did lose about 15 of those pounds before surgery. Super happy with progress thus far.

I usually keep my calories around 900 I increase calories on gym/work-out days. ????????

Same for me, dough, pasta and breads don't sit well with me either. I'm actually happy about it because use to love that stuff and the feeling were mutual (stuck right to the butt and tights). ????????????

I'm in. Current weight: 177.5 Goal weight: 165

Good luck

I'm 5'4 and my surgery weight was 236 I believe (I got a new phone and my numbers were in my old phone). My surgery date was 7/30/2015. Here is my before and after picture.
