Thanks everybody. I'm going to go shopping on my couple days off and check out this stuff Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes @WorkinOnMe...I feel the same way too. I think my apron is WAY more noticeable now than it ever was. And it's annoying me WAY more now than ever too....flapping and such. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks you guys! @@OutsideMatchInside Where do you buy those? And do you find they roll down at the waist? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So, with my 15-20 year experience with buying clothes at penningtons, in my opinion of course, I have found that their clothes did not fit me well, and were pretty poor quality for the price. I hated that pretty much every top had a huge scoopy neck....and I don't have a big bust, so I always felt like every time I bent over I was giving a free peep show . Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that I had one store I could get clothes, but it's nice that while I'm still in weight loss mode, I can get something cheap that I probably won't be able to wear very long anyway. Actually, the stuff I bought at Walmart 3 weeks ago is already getting big...and I'm ok with that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is such a good idea to get everything all portioned out! I'm going to start doing that! What do you have in the peppers? And we make those egg muffins all the time too...they are yummy!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just wanted to tell you "kindafamiliar", that you always bring a smile and laugh...I love your posts!! Congrats on your success with your weight loss so far I will be following this thread eagerly awaiting the results of your roid experiment!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good for you!! Isn't it nice to be able to shop at a reasonably priced store? I knew my bathing suit was getting too big, but kept wearing it because I was hesitant to get a new one...they're so expensive at the "plus size" clothing stores. Anyway, had to break down and get one when my boobs were basically floating outside my suit during deep Water aquasize. I went to Walmart and got a suit for $30...I was beyond happy!! No more flashing the lifeguards!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So, I'm wondering if I should start incorporating strength training into my workouts. I've been focusing so far pretty much with cardio....I walk, ride my bike, swim laps. I'm just not sure where to start. Should I pay for a personal trainer for a couple sessions? How did you guys know where to start and what to do? And, do you find that strength training improves the loose skin issue?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@dashofsunshine What have your workouts consisted of? So far I've been bike riding, swimming and walking, but I haven't started any strength training yet with weights. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@dashofsunshine My starting weight was very close to yours. Mine was 333lbs. I've lost 85lbs, and I'm hopeful after seeing you that I can look that good some day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@dashofsunshine Holy s$@t!!! You're a skinny Minnie!!! How much weight did you lose? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@kristennicole You look awesome!! I'm so happy you're feeling good! I hope you now feel better about your decision to get the sleeve done! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went to Mexico because where I live in Canada I would've had to wait around 10 years and pay $20,000 to have surgery here. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve done in Tijuana through Mexico bariatric center. Was treated far better there than any hospital where I live...and I'm a nurse. I honestly have nothing bad to say about the entire experience. They took care of everything. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor ended up putting me on an anti-inflammatory plus it has something in it to protect my stomach. I take it twice a day for a week. He said just keep doing what I'm doing....icing, stretching it, and told me to rest it as much as possible. My foot actually felt better today, so hopefully I'm on the mend. Once again, thanks for all the advise guys!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all the advise guys. Yes, I do have proper shoes from a sports store. I'm actually going to the dr in the morning because nothing of what I'm doing at home has helped. I'm beyond frustrated at this! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
