B-Day Week, Normal BMI, P.S, & Hater Comments

[bodaciousbarbie2]

Mel I work out every morning for an hour on WII Fit before my kids get up, and my teenager told my cousin I dont work out. I said Just because you dont see me doing it doesnt mean I dont. Haters Always assume the worse, when they have no idea what they are talking about. i love this video cause you tell them!

[MBuckova]

WELL DONE girl and happy birthday to you!!!! You're such an inspiration to us all!!!

[ysndrs]

I just started looking at your video's and those people that are hating on you is because they must couldn't do what you have done. We do bust our butts trying to lose weight . If you haven't been overweight you will never know what we go though. You continue to do what you do. I want to follow what you did so maybe I can have some haters too. Keep it up!! Thanks for the information I have learned from your experience.

[kishabynum]

What company did you book your surgery through?

[NandrasJourney]

AH! I'm so Excited for you! 154 lb! I'm not there yet, but will be :) Happy birthday too... your birthday video was AWESOME. Don't sweat the haters... you must be doing something right if there are people willing to hate on you :)

[jsnaughtywife]

[rozzied]

OMG what ignorance, you have been my shero for so long. I tell everyone who asks me about the surgery to watch vlogs on Youtube specifically yours. You are such a hard worker and extremely dedicated to the new you. You deserve nothing but admiration. Ignore those who don't live in the real world. You are awesome!!!!!!!!

[CoCoBandster]

[susan1289]

I have looked at everyone of you video postings and it is your story that has given me the courage to have lap band surgery. I have battled my weight all my life. Having lapband and plastic surgery takes courage and determination. In watching your story I feel you are a wonderfuly mature and psychologically healthy woman. Thanks for sharing everything with us. I will be doing the same next year and I hope that my journey will be an inspiration to others as well.

[skymoon1982]

Thank you to all that has wished me a Happy B-Day. It means a lot to me. Muah!!

[MissJanieHere]

all i can say about you is GORGEOUS!

as for that silly comment... thats all it is... silly..

people who are on the wls journey know how hard it is, so it doesnt matter what others who are not in our shoes know or dont know, say or dont say, think or dont think... we know the truth.. we dont need it validated by anyone else.

hugs!

[skymoon1982]

Thanx so much Janie. You are so right about the negative things people have to say that dont know nothing about me.

[MegaFierceness]

Congratulations I know ur excited about getting the surgery I'm looking forward to seeing your plastic surgery journey! and I know it's early but HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mel! Oh and don't worry about the haters like you said there watching you channel for a reason they probably want the surgery too, but there insurence want pay for it and they can't afford to pay them selfs so they get mad at you b/c you was able to get the band and did so well with it!

[prettyblkgyrl74]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - you look amazing. This is absolutely the best thing you could have done for yourself.

Regarding the haters - don't even give them energy. PERIOD!!!

[imstillstrill]

Happy Birthday Melanie!! I was just thinking that today, if you want to lose weight it is hard, it is not easy!! So haters that think that we took the easy way out are very sadly mistaken.

[Wickedpru]

anyone that has watched more than 1 of your videos knows youve earned your weight loss so ignore them they are just jealous P.S. Happy Birthday!

[rainsh01]

Congrats!!!! Have a Happy Birthday!!!

[MUSTSEEVID]

why are  you going to a different country?

[MsMcAninch]

Ignore the hater!! We all know that maintaining weight loss surgery takes lots of effort and you busted your butt to get to where you're at. Surgery is a tool and you obviously used it well. That doesn't mean it's easy!! Kudos to you!

[31cristine]

Hi Skymoon, can you make a video on what you eat now that you are at normal bmi? Do you still drink protein shakes or just food?

[skymoon1982]

I have not drinked protein drinks for the longest. I will try to make a video on what I eat now real soon.

[19la54]

Don't concern yourself with that hater....she/he has no idea.

About the boob issue....I want to have a reduction. I haven't seen a doctor yet but have thought that maybe I am too big and saggy ...40 I ...to have it done. You know....just too much to nip & tuck! I will see a doctor within a few months and will find out for sure.

[eyezchu22]

Happy B-day, This might sound weird... take the hateful comments as a compliment you and all the people who respect and admire you know how well you did and that you did bust your a** to become that sucess story... They are jealous, and not happy with themselves... BTW you rock congrats on the normal bmi, brush your shoulder off!!

[ibeeaboo1]

u gooooo! GURL....

[thequeengetfit]

Happy Birthday, don't let that kind of sh*t get to you whats important is that you lost the weight and your healthy fu*k the haters!!!!!!!

[mityah83]

Happy b-day ..!!!

f*ck the hater .....!!!!

[supaflyflip]

Melanie, congrats on the decision you made 1 yr. ago to get banded! Oh and "Happy early Birthday to you"

As for the haters, they're just JEALOUS. Yes, you did bust your butt to get where you are now. Some people just don't understand that many of us have TRIED to lose weight in the past and just aren't successful as others are. To the hater, DON'T HATE, CONGRATULATE!

[skymoon1982]

Those would be my exact words. You nailed it right on! "Some people just don't understand that many of us have TRIED to lose weight in the past and just aren't successful as others are" Yes, October was the year that I decided to change my life around so this month is real speacial to me. Thank you

[gastricRose]

Girl your amazing in and out ...You are a great support to us all thank you for that sweetie ...congrats on the bmi love it...love ya...love rosemary

[moviestartaal]

[thfromthabay]

I'm so happy 4 u, shout out 2 ur sister 4 supporting u & attending ur upcoming surgery w/you!

2 the HATERS get a life, you have too much time on ur hands, if u have so much fun in the gym, get ur ass off the computer & go there instead of hating on people u know NOTHING about!

[jadoredior04]

[skymoon1982]

I guess we will be celebrating at the same time. I suppose to get together with a few friends and celebrate on that day. Happy early B-Day.

[jadoredior04]

[skymoon1982]

Wow, thanx so much for the huge compliment on my image. With all this weight loss, I now have more confidence to look more beautiful and try to hook myself up once in a while. LOL

[msarcomere]

Happy Birthday! You gave yourself a wonderful gift last year.

[Uniquebrown04]

[GODSPRINZES2]

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! :) What's up with all these October birthday's? My husband's birthday is on the 23rd and my step dad's is on the same day, and my daughter's birthday is on the 31st. Wow!! God was busy in October wasn't HE? LOL!! You look great! I'm so proud of you.

[skymoon1982]

October is the month of Birthday's I see. My sis bday is on Oct 30th and I have a few other friends that were october babies too. LOL

[amandaksparrow]

Happy Birthday!

[msbebe83]

I am so excited that you are going to have that plastic surgery. You look really good. Its so funny that it takes you losing 120lbs plus to have a normal BMI. I wish you luck, and those haters have no lives.

[Frederica28]

Do not worry about the haters, people are going to talk whether you are doing good or doing bad so don't worry about them. But you have been a real encouragement for me I have decided to have Lapband WLS. My 1st appointment is 10/29/2009 Thank you for being an inspiration to me. Be Blessed

[skymoon1982]

Your so right. I want to wish you the best of luck on your 1st appointment. Crossing my fingers!

[LOVERSPT]

where did you have your weight loss surgery? thanks

[skymoon1982]

I had wls (lapband) performed in Long Island, NY. The name of the hospital is called Long Island Syosset Jewish Hospital" It was at the bariatric center and they specialize in lapband. The name of the doctor was Dr. Alan Geiss. If you want the website, let me know.

[MsDulceLeche]

The girl that made the hate comments was obviously looking at your channel to admire your beauty and class. Any accomplished weight loss deserves positive recognition. Dealing with depression, self-consciousness, low self-esteem, ridicule, under going risky WLS, food restriction, malnutrition and then finally saggy skin is certainly hard enough. You're beautiful chica and you're an inspiration, don't ever forget that. Can't wait to see your progress w/ plastic surgery. Besos!

[jcurry777]

dont let the haters get to you girl! they have no idea what people who are over weight go through!! and you did bust your ass to get the weight off. i love how ppl think that when someone whos overweight decides to get surgery its like they just have surgery and they automatically lose weight! that is so not true and you have to work just as hard as if you didnt have surgery!! u earned your weight loss.. you kick ass!! xoxox

[melitriotcan]

hahhah people are so stupid! you earned every ounce of what you've worked so hard for. apparently this poor soul is lost and doesn't realize that our surgery is a tool. it could be a jealousy issue too. damn i'd be jealous if i saw how much this helped you and you got results.. lol. I had a comment on one of my earlier videos that said, "go die in a ditch fatty!" what an idiot, they don't see how far we've come they're only interested in hating! you go girl! you rock and nobody can keep u down!
