crystal3052 11 Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for everyone's wonderful comments! Feels great changing my life! Um for tips I would say the biggest thing is following what your surgeon says to the T. I made sure (and still do) that I get all my Protein and Water in daily. I don't eat hardly any carbs and I make sure to exercise few days a week at least. I think sometimes we worry about over eating due to old habit and then don't get enough calories.... IMO I think it slows WL down. Over all have fun doing it. This is our new "normal" so go with it and begin enjoying life! Thank you )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I would hit 100 like you on my 5th month..I haven't really put in much work in the gym and I also drink alcohol twice a week. I'm sure that's a factor in my weight loss.

Evolving 973 Posted July 25, 2013 I don't know if my pics are inspirational but I'll add them- 5 months sleeved today! Down 80- still feel like its not quite good enough as I can't really see the diff- I hold on to the fact that I'm smaller now so I should be able to see the next 80 or even 40.... I hope - I was a tight-not fitting- 26 now I'm at a 22 Sent from my iPhone using VST 9 SeaGirl, TES, blessngs2rsleeve and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
