Are you exercising any? I have not done much in the past couple of weeks. I need to get on the ball with things. I do have a 5k coming up this weekend though.
Thank you for responding. Keep up the good work.
Congrats on your weight loss thus far!!
How are other February 2010 WLS people doing?
**This includes 32.2 lbs. pre-surgery!**
As for me I have been getting so many compliments from not only people I know but strangers who see my before pictures. I feel more comfortable and love the difference in my appearance. My challenges have been taking my meds (I know I should take them but I don't I know I need to change that) and I need to start exercising because even though I ave lost a lot of weight I still have no energy or motivation to get up and do it. I've lost about 72 lbs so far and hope to lose another 13-20 lbs I went from a size 16 pants and 1XL plus size tops to now a size 8-10 in pants (size depends on the brand) and a size M tops went from a 38C to a 32B but it is a great feeling going into any store I want and finding clothes that fit and it is also great that if I see something cute I can look for my size and see how it looks on me no more being disappointed that they don't make that style in my size because now they do :o) the only bad thing is I spend a lot more on clothes because I buy a lot more since I can find them so much easier. Now I love to shop for clothes.
I am so thankful for all I have today. Be happy, Laugh often, Love Lots.
Hi Everyone,,, I will be 8 months post op on Oct 22,, I have lost 92 lbs since the surgery,, I think I was expecting to loose alot more...

Hi, all! I am new at this, in a way. But I am eight months out and feeling ok, I continue to learn more each day, and deal with eating demons. It's not that i am hungry, it's my way of dealing with stress. I like the lady i see in the mirror, the fact that with this tool i can be successful at loseing the weight, and digging out the person that has been protected in side.
I have been on a stull for a month in a half, so i am still at 215. but increasing my exercise, and making sure i get my protein, with water is my goal now. I have notices that my finger nails are thin and they are cracking in the middle lately.
I am going to focus on my proteins and exercise to see if i can break the 15 this week. I love the fact that i no longer take insulin, but now we have to find out why i fall to sleep after i eat.
but other than this i am so ready to do what it takes to reach my goal of 170 lbs.
