I can fit in the backseat of my mini van thrid row wow! My pants are so loose that when i go to the bathroom i just pull them down. I have more energy to run after my three year old. My sex life is returning ( my husband love that) lol And i have more confidence in myself. I still have a long way to go but i rather do it at a slow pace then a fast one and gain gain all the weight back:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: -
It is rare that I eat bread, not that it gets stuck..it just fills me up too fast and I can't get my protein in.
Exercise: I walk and exercise in my pool daily. This helps tremendously. I know when it rains for days I can really feel it.
For my meals..As I said I eat everything but I eat very small portions..never more than a cup but usually about 3/4 of a cup per meal. The only thing I really splurge on is the popsicles..probably 4-5 a day. I have a 3 year old and we eat them all afternoon/evening.
If I have a cravining I found that if I satisfy the craving instead of trying everying to avoid it I realized that I only wanted maybe 2 bites of the craving and I was satisified. If I tried to avoid it I ate everything in the house and still ended up eating the craving..just think of all the wasted calories!
Another thing when I eat is that I eat until I am satisified not until I am full.
I hope this has helped!! Take care!

Hi gillian,
Well the first thing I did was take the word diet out plan. I use the term lifestyle change. I maintain a positive attitude 98% of the time. I do cook a majority of the time so I know what it is I am eating however I eat just about everything under the sun. I have lost my appetite for sweets so that does help. My snacks are SF Popsicles and apples w/laughing cow cheese or hot chocolate. I may eat 4 or 5 dorito chips a couple times a month but that satisfies my chip craving. I am not a breakfast person (never have been) so I have a protein shake (EAS Myoplex Lite Chocolate). Lunch: Cheese Quesadillas, Tuna w/mayo, greek yogurt, salad, chicken w/mayo or ravillos. Dinner: this is wide open Chicken Corden Blue, Steak, Pork Chops, Meat Balls, Chicken Picatti, Scallops, Shrimp..the list goes on. If I make a dish for my family that includes pasta I may eat 2-3 noodles cut up very fine.

I lost my hair all in the back. every time i touch my hair it comes out in bulk. i went to the doctor and she gave me a b12 shot i go back and get another one on june 30, i hope this work because it is too hot for wigs in chicago right about now. i had my surgery in nov 23 2009. and have lost 64lbs. off of a 424 body and i feel great besides the hair loss. im goin to try the biotin too to see what works the fastest.:biggrin::thumbup: -
my name is gillian and i live in chicago. i had my surgery nov 23, 2009. My starting weight was 424 pounds as of july 14 when i went to the doctor i now weigh 360. It has it good and bad to it but i think i did the right thing by having the surgery. because if i didn't i would probably be in the grave.:smile::wub::scared2::wub::tt2::wub:
