[PiggyPantsPaige 10]

I started out at 240 my surgery was 8-24 and now I am 205 last time I weighed in. I am still on full liquids but have been tryin some pureed foods. Only four more days and I can officially do all puréed foods.

Crazy how diets differ

Plateau's are normal, try changing up you workout, do weight first than cardio.

Sorry it's short, leaving for the airport...... Pray for me, tomorrow is my SURGERY!!!!

Started at 230 now 6 months out and at 180. I would like to lose more but I'm a slow loser. Happy for every pound. I haven't lost any in a couple of months. Need to excercise but I hate it.

I started at 234 now 133. Worked out in the begining no longer work out. I don't gain much just 2-3 lbs after my cycle then always back to 133 -131lbs. i eat pretty much anything I want still can't stand carboonated drinks cold they give me severe indigestion. Can't really drink and eat at the same time I get full really quick. After 17 months out down 100lbs i still can't consume more than 4oz at a time..

No point for surgery if you are 240 lbs.

I do t know why you say this. I was 245 and BMI was 42, I am only 5' 2" so am short. Have you ever tried to lose 100 lbs on your own? This statement made me kind of mad.
