I have never taken anything other than a multivitamin and prescription Vitamin D, before and after surgery.  It seems like a lot of posters on here take multiple types of vitamins.  My doctor has been checking my vitamin levels every 6 months or so (mo

Even though I am 18 months out from surgery, it still never gets old that I could sit in an airplane with no seat belt extender and put the tray table down!  Also I went zip lining on vacation, which I NEVER would have done before due to my weight.  Al

I have flown twice since surgery and both times had to be patted down after going through the body scan.  Both times, they showed issues with my stomach area.  Anyone else have this issue?  What could be causing it?

I was at the nail salon yesterday and a worker there that I have known for several years told my friend and the entire salon as she practically yelled out, "She was SO big before!"  While I appreciate the fact that she was trying to compliment my now s

Any recommendations for a good doctor in Mexico for plastics?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  (And YES, I have posted this on the plastics board too.)

I am in a weight loss slump right now.  I went on vacation in November and then got a stomach virus when I returned, so I lost 8 lbs in the span of about a week and a half.  I have now gained back 7 lbs of the 8 that I lost and I feel like I'm not maki

Why is this showing up twice, with two different weights?  This is annoying!

I just got off of my first flight since losing more than 100 lbs and am overjoyed to report that I fit in the seat fine!  I also could put my trey table down with no issues.  SO EXCITED FOR THIS NSV!!!

We had a pot luck at work last Wednesday and my eating was a bit out of control for a couple of days (there were lots of leftovers and we continued to eat them until Friday). I ate a lot more carbs than I had been eating previously. I had been stalle

Today marks one year since I had my surgery. I am not yet at my goal, but if I never make it there, I have changed my life for the good. 104 lbs ago I could not go on roller coasters or other amusement park rides. 104 lbs ago I could not sit comfort

My husband and parents don't want me to lose anymore weight.  This is hard for me because I still need to lose 22 lbs or so to get to my goal of 160.  My goal is actually on the high side, in my opinion, so I'm not sure why they want me to stay where I

If there is one drawback of the sleeve for me, it is constipation.  Sorry for the TMI, but does anyone know of a good fiber supplement that can help with this?  Or do you have any tips regarding getting more fiber from food and still making my protein

I hadn't seen my brother in quite some time and I saw him on Saturday.  He said that when I walked in, he didn't recognize me because of all of the weight I have lost.  My mom and my husband's sister-in-law had previously said the same thing.  Love my

One of my major goals when I started this journey was to lose 100 lbs.  I teetered at 99 lbs for a week and a half.  I stepped on the scale yesterday and I am now at 102 lost!  So freakin' excited!  I also calculated my BMI today and I have just crosse

Someone said this to me yesterday.  Really?  I have lost 95 lbs and need to lose 33 more.  Just because I have lost weight does NOT mean in any way that I will ever develop an eating disorder.  Given that I had weight loss surgery and this person knows

My 9 month surgeriversary was on July 6th and thought I would post.  I am now 95 lbs lighter and able to do things like go on amusement park rides and walk way further than I ever could before.  I want to lose another 30 lbs or so and weight loss has c

I went to my endocrinologist today and the lady that took my blood pressure didn't have a problem getting the cuff around my arm!!  Small NSV for me.  Also, my doctor told me that I may be able to get off of some of my meds or decrease them.  Looking f

I am at 208.  I am SOOOO looking forward to onederland, which I haven't been in for about 20 years.  I just know my stubborn body is going to stall at 200.  Please wish me luck!

I was on vacation last week and went to an amusement park for the first time in a REALLY long time.  I fit on all of the rides with ease (even though I am not finished losing weight).  That is my first NSV.  Then my husband, who has always been very ph

I am 6 months out today and i am FINALLY over the 1 month stall that I had.  I am now 73 lbs lighter and feeling wonderful.  SO GLAD I did this surgery.  No regrets.  Can't wait to make it to goal!

I need suggestions for a high protein breakfast that I can eat in my car on the way to work.  No spoons needed please! And I am not that crazy about boiled eggs.  I am a bit of a picky eater and do not like protein bars either.  Every one that I have t

I had surgery on October 6th, 2014, so I am 5 1/2 months out.  What caloric in-take and carb in-take did your NUT recommend at this point?  I have been in a stall for several weeks now and can't seem to get the scale moving again.
