You have some great goals and I know you can accomplish them!!! Great job on the weight loss as well!!

Here is my pre-op and post-op pictures. First picture taken on Oct. 24th (2 weeks before I start my pre-op diet at 356 on November 6th). Second picture taken on Dec. 25th (1 month post-op at 317.2). Had a 38.8 pound loss in 6 weeks (2 weeks pre-op and 4 weeks post-op). (BTW how do you make pictures bigger within the post?)

You look great! You should be proud! Awesome job!!!

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday. I'm down to 304.4 as of yesterday, 1/18/2016. Will I ever reach Twonderland??? Great job everyone!!!

That is a great goal indeed!!! I need to be mindful as well. Good luck!! Sounds like the perfect day (aside from the Cavs losing). Keep up the great work!!

. I'm going to try this.. Add in an extra shake a day! I too have been at a stall. Thank you so much for your help! And you look great BTW! I seen your pics on another post! Your doing amazing!!! Thanks so much my friend. You are too kind. Keep up the great work!! Hope your energy picks up soon.

I'm glad I got to this part because I was ready to grab FMcF by the hand to find that cretin with me and then FMcF and I would kick him or her, whichever it may be, in the shins. Hard kicks. The good news is that that person has to go through life being himself. I repeat from last time: You guys are so cute.I have to thank you both for being 2 awesome and loving people. You have gone above and beyond trying to be respectful, caring, and nurturing. That will not go forgotten. So thank you both.You have been too kind. It's much more than we deserve, but it means a lot coming from you. So thank you!

You're looking great! Fantastic job!Thank you so much. I appreciate you!!

Im thrilled that you won. CONGRATS!!!

Thanks! I am looking for support that I am worth existing. Being a fat person my whole life is hard enough to live through. All the hurt that can come from other people. I thought I had found a forum where we all supported one another. But to hear that from another member is heartbreaking.Fat or not, how could you possibly let something a complete stranger said to you on the internet bother you so much? I would suggest you get some therapy to help you overcome some obvious self esteem issues. It's not going to help with your weight loss journey if you crumble anytime someone says something mean to you. People can be assholes, plain and simple. In real life and ESPECIALLY on the intertubes. Do like dogs do. Kick some grass on that shiat and just walk away. Hi. Thanks. Just had a bad day and then that happened. I am actually in a great spot right now. The sun will come out tomorrow ☀️ to parra phrase my favorite quote: You are worthy of existence. And the relationship you have with God is way more valuable than anything else on this piddly earth we call home. Embrace those that love you and walk past those that don't accept you. But remember it was always about you and God....and never about them anyway!!!

Try to stay positive. You are doing great!!! I REALLY enjoyed our hike yesterday!!!

Awesome job!!!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. Thank you! And yeah, I thought I would have lost more also. I am 5'11". Date of Before picture at 356 on Oct 24, 2015 Started pre-op on Nov 6, 2015 at 356. Surgery 2 weeks later on Nov 20th at 337.8 (loss of 18.2 pre-op) Date of After picture was Dec 25th at 317.2 (1 month post-op with total loss of 38.8) I am now almost 2 months post-op and down 50 pounds

Sorry to hear you have low energy my friend. My energy dips as the day goes on, but I try to exercise every day and that sometimes actually helps with my energy. I think you need to find a way to increase calories. Maybe take in another Protein shake each day. Personally, I've noticed that the fewer calories I have in a day the less energy I have and the less weight I lose because my body thinks it's starving. I'm currently in a 1 1/2 - 2 week stall even though I walked almost 45 miles last week, but I was also skipping meals last week and ended up with maybe a .5 pound loss this week (if I'm lucky) Hope your energy level picks up soon.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. I have just always been hard on my self.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And guess what??? We went for our 1st hike yesterday (4.5 miles) in 21 degree weather. It was beautiful and amazing!!!

Whatchu talkin about?? I see a huge improvement already! Great progress!! Awww thank you!! I appreciate your kindness. I'm always hard on my self.
