Hi! I'm Jessica.I did -10 lbs past one month.More here ｂａｌiｎal．coｍ

I love you Manda!!! You are so cute!!!

My hair got straw like also ! Maybe it's the low calories? I just cut mine off too. For the same reason. I'm putting coconut oil in my hair now that it's shorter and it's better.

WOO HOO ! You made the video ! :-)

Do you have a good thrift shop there for clothes that you'll shrink out of soon?

YES ! Victoria Secret!!! They are awesome here. Hopefully nice sales girls there too :-)

I am so happy for you! You are having an awesome journey and can't wait to see a video montage of your progress! I have been thinking of you lots! :)

I need to do numbers more often...LOL....good for no magic answer..love that....you need a stepy step thing..to count your steps...ha ha...you idea thief..LOL...and i think that the want to brawl thought comes from years of people saying mean things..to us....:D but yeah...YOU HEAD SHURNK...LOL

You look Amazing sweetie!!....Your right fallow the doc. rules for sure...I am so glad you talked about the reading label comment thank you...keep strong my friend...love and hugs...love rosemary

You sure have had a rough couple of weeks but I do hope you are on the mend now! Take care : )

So sorry about your family's loss! I have not been on facebook for a long time so I had no idea you have been going through so much.I am so glad you did an update! Your progress is amazing! I am so proud of you! You are kicking butt! :)

love the tattoo! : ) oh the 'c' word yes took me ages to get that sorted but having for years never having such problems I have resigned myself to having to take meds for it lol

good for the digestive system. I also add Benefiber to my drinks since we typically don't get enough fiber in our diets and I take 2 Dulcolax a day. I asked about iron, because sometimes switching to Heme iron is much easier on the digestive system. But at the very least, you should be taking Carbonyl. Don't take ferrous sulfate. I finally found a routine that works for me but it took awhile!

1st of all, I am so sorry about your aunt. You & your family are in my prayers. And congrats on the 100 lbs! That is awesome! Constipation - I'm on pain meds daily so that makes things worse for me. What kind of iron do you take? Sometimes that contributes to it. Are you getting in at least 64 oz. of water every day? If not, start. Nothing else will help if you don't get enough water. Also try adding magnesium oxide (not citrate) to your routine. It not only helps absorb calcium but is also...

WOW You are doing SOOOO good! I am so glad that things are starting fall into place. Your husband is exactally right about the hormone things. And I am glad that you have a plan to get you through it! Hang in there!

Wow, what a scary experience. I am so glad that your husband got you to the hospital and that things have improved. I have honestly not heard of anyone going through this before. But it is true that many post ops do go through complications, no matter what you do right. You must have been terrified. Take care of yourself, hun. We need you here!

What a horrid experience but so pleased you are home and hope you feel much much better soon. It never ceases to amaze me how little information or support some other WLS patients - very sad. Take care : )

Thank you... :) I was just curious if you ate things that I was not trying that may be better options for me...I am having a hard time getting my veggies and fruits in because I am eating so much protein that fills me up...How many proteins are you able to get in in a day? and How many calories are you averaging? My nutritionist didn't mention calories so maybe I am eating too many calories???? I don't know.. You are looking awesome, I am so happy for you to see such great results!

OMG ur numbers are the same as mine but im almost 5 months out! i was 354 on 4/11/11 and im now 289.

Centrum Silver is a good multi. It doesn't have vitamin K in it so watch your labs on that. I think the Centrum regular does have K though. Kinda fun not being able to fit into your old clothes anymore, isn't it? If you have clothes you want to get rid of, hang tight. I have created a website for just that reason. It will be ready to go in the next few weeks.

i am so excited for you..that is a awsome weight loss.happy tears for you.. friend me on facebook cause i am hooked on frontieville and i could use some more friends..lol.. i need intervention..lol. i am under armida parker and there are a few for me but its the one where i am sitting and my 3 kids are behind me.. congrats again

awww... you had me in tears by the end of your vlog! SO happy for you... what an amazing job you're doing - truly inspirational!!! take care, gabriela

Love the bottle and thanks for sharing with us great tips...and Yay!! congrats on all the great weight loss sweetie...could I hear your surgeons plan have you done that kind of video just saying you don't have too and if you have done share with me please...love and hugs...love rosemary

I have total faith in you! You can make your goal! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Add a little more exercise in and bump up your protein and I know you can do this!!! Yes I do need to text you more! The guilt is officially slathered on! LOL!!! Thanks! :P

WOOHOO!!!!! 50lbs!!! So Jealous Girl! So Jealous! I am soooooo happy for you. You are doing so awesome! :)

I still at 14 weeks cant get all my liquids in.

Wonder why they are worried about to quick weight loss? The first 2-3 weeks post op is when u lose the most. I lost 23 libs in the first 3 weeks. Also people who start out a higher bmi/weight tend to lose more faster at first also.

I DON'T DRINK JUICE AT ALL. DIET JUICES ARE NASTY. SO WATER AND GATORATE I DO SOMETIMES WHEN I WORK OUT. AND VITAMIN WATER IN THE BEGINNING WORKED REAL GOOD. BUT I DON'T DRINK THEM ANYMORE EITHER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE SMALL SIPS.

ALL SURGERY ARE LIKE THAT. BUT IT WELL WORK IT SELF OUT. FOR YOU BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT THAT YOU WILL BE LOSING.

@PudgeMuffinK I dont think it was a case of foamies - It was not foam at all - it was me throwing up food point blank - it was awful either way . I have not really had a case of foamies so IDK maybe it was? but I dont think it was - it just suuuuuuucked. dory speaks whale, name yours Moby - then my tummy can talk to your tummy "telepathically" lmao!!

You body is going to lose at the rate it wants to. I lost 18 lbs in my first 2 weeks. But it has slowed down considerably since about month two. Sounds like you are doing well. Your surgeon is a little more lenient than mine, but they are all different! As long as you get your protein, vitamins and water in, you're doing good!

For the first few weeks I wore easy pants! No button, no jeans! It helped me a lot! sounds like your doing good though! Im sure it feels amazing to be post op! Congrats on the weight loss! Your doing great! In no time you'll be in the 100's!

@chach9107 thanks hon - yeah it's really gross alone! lol

@skinnybrit2b I like seeing the numbers drop - just wish my appearance was more dramatic ;) how r u?

@slimmingbeauty30 honey if you are going for RNY take more then 1 week depending on what you do - I am a preschool teacher so I have ten 2 & 3 yr olds - the first week I was tired and trying to get drinking down - the 2nd week yeah I'm bored but I'm just starting to figure out what my limitations on movements and activitys are - this last week I could go back to work, but I'm still sore, and I'm still wanting to nap a lot and slowly get back into the swing of things - dont rush your recovery!

@ShrinkingSusieQ awww thanks ;) - I am hearing the "face" a lot but I dont see it yet - thanks for the support! omg never again will I do protein alone in water - bleck - it made me gag and get sick soooo bad - that's all I think of now when I'm drinking my protein! ugh!!

@AwesomeForever this is what I'm known for : flip flops, earrings, manis and pedis, water bottles and now blender bottles - anytime someone needs a sure fire gift - that's what I get!! Im also called the "lip gloss Queen" never leave home without it LOL

Great weight loss, you must be thrilled! : )

this journey is so emotional..i dont know why..but it is.. i am so happy that besides us you have someone that you can depend on.. i love this community..i feel like we are one big family..

You look really pretty in this video. I'm really starting to see the difference in your face. I can't do any of my protein drinks with water. I use FF milk in everything. So I can imagine it was pretty nasty. You're doing good! Keep up the good work.

Hey hun, I just thought of something. You said your Vitamin D is the gel caps? Were they the prescribed ones? The only reason I'm asking is because I believe (and I could be wrong) we absorb the dry D better. I don't think that comes in prescription. Anyhow, just food for thought. You might want to check on this to be sure.

I need my water to be ice cold too...Everything I drink needs to come directly from the fridge unless it is sopose to be hot like tea or decaf or soup. You look like you are doing good! I find out what kind of vitamins I need to take tomorrow at my 2 week follow up, I think I can start on my pureed too. I am super excited! I will update tomorrow when I get back! Hang in there! 20+ pounds is awesome!

your to cute and don't worry we all become very emotional at first and it is amazing that you have met a good friend ...good for you and her!....great advice on the vitamin D so glad to hear...thanks for sharing...love rosemary

I'm the same way with liquids. I have to have ice in them. I go through so much ice in a day. I used to be a huge hot coffee addict. It doesn't even interest me now.

@PudgeMuffinK I just love you to pieces missy moo!!!! lol

@AntoniaTakeTwo - Thank you for the well wishes Antonia!! I appreciate the love and support that everyone has shared with me! I dont know where'd I'd be without it !!

@skinnybrit2b you are looking fantastic - I suck at commenting back - but I do read comments and watch videos - how are you?? thanks for the well wishes!!

@xxangel9988xx thanks for the love!! ;)
