ladyblue3!

You are a beautiful 391 pounds. You should have done more videos standing up. No lie... you look great! Congratulations on your weight loss thus far.

[ladyblue3]

Aww, thanks for the compliment. That made me smile. I plan on doing more standing videos, probably once a month. Thanks for the support!

Hi....I had the Lap Band in Jan. I have lost slow but I am 54 so I don't expect it to go fast. I just wanted to tell you how great it is to have WLS as an option and that I wish I had it when I was 3o. You will have the rest of your life to live without the overweight burden. It is great you are getting weight off before the surgery....it shows your commitment....good luck to you!!!!!

[ladyblue3]

Thank you for the well wishes. Good luck to you on your weight loss. I am really thankful that I have WLS as an option and that I'm able to do it now.

Let me applaud your bravery for being so open and honest. I am almost 12 weeks post op from Gastric Bypass surgery and I have lost 67 pounds this year with 58 pounds more to lose and I still won't stand up in front of the camera! Thank you for being an inspiration to me :) You look awesome by the way!!! You are a beautiful girl :)

[ladyblue3]

Thanks Jodi, Congrats on your weight loss! I'm glad I can be an inspiration to you and others. It makes being nervous standing up in front of the camera worth it.

[ladyblue3]

Thanks Karla!

[ladyblue3]

Thank you! I will.

[ladyblue3]

Thank you!

[Seedcovers]

Great idea, full body shot. You are doing a great job.

[graphiteiris]

I'm not vegetarian, its hard to be vegetarian if your going to have WLS because of the protein issue. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I eat beans all the time. beans beans beans

[ladyblue3]

I have a few cans of beans with my name on them. I used to love beans but lately not so much. I'll have to give them another try. Thanks for the comment.

[monibunnie]

Great idea to do a full body video!! You're doing fantastic for pre-op and definitely getting in the right mindset!! I think your recovery will be an easy transition since you are doing a great job preparing!! Congratulations!

[ladyblue3]

Thanks. My goal is to make changes now so it won't be such a big shock to my system.

[soylaunica76]

Girl, you are killing it!(lol) I'm so proud of you. You are really going to love the pedometer it's awesome.

[ladyblue3]

Thank you. I can't wait for the pedometer. I may have to make a garbage bag suit for my first walk. :-)

[DeLicioUsRedApple]

wow! you are beautiful! I cant wait to see the changes that are coming, Im sooo excited for you!

[ladyblue3]

Thank you for the nice compliment. I can't wait to see the changes that are coming for all of us. Thanks for your excitement, it makes me feel like I can actually do this.

[OoSadCareBearoO]

Girl you are big and beautiful... I wish my body had your shape... ugh i'm just a big blob of fat... what size jeans are those? I wear 32

[ladyblue3]

I usually wear size 32 tall jeans (the really stretchy ones from the avenue). The ones I have on this video are from old navy size 30 longs (ON's sizing is crazy big). Thanks for the compliment!

[OoSadCareBearoO]

They have pants at old navy for big girls? I didn't know this...

[ladyblue3]

They only sell their plus clothes online, but there are some cute things. Any of their 100% cotton shirts are pretty stretchy. I can fit their 4x in shirts. And now I guess I can fit their pants too.

[OoSadCareBearoO]

After you told me this I went to check out the website and I saw its only exclusive online... I saw a lot of stuff I want to buy but i'm not sure if the pants would fit me now... maybe when i'm in my 300's and I don't know if i'm tall regular or short... I guess I can always just send stuff back if they don't fit and ask for another size...

[ladyblue3]

You can also return the stuff to the store, so you don't have to worry about shipping. Some women my size and bigger have said they can fit the pants. I think it depends on how you're built and what the style is. I got some of their low rise jeans and it barely covered my butt. I remember I was so excited when I found out they sold big girl clothes. Enjoy shopping.

[OoSadCareBearoO]

I will!!! You need to pass your clothes on to me when you get surgery...

[ladyblue3]

You can definitely have them. You'll probably be too small for them then, but they will be all yours.

[EbonyGrlWeightLoss]

Great Job! 5 lbs is great!!

[ladyblue3]

Thank You!

[debbsterst]

I've been thinking abut becoming a vegitarian too! Plus, our surgeries should be about at the same time. My orientation is July7th. I love your videos and I know what you mean about standing to do a vid. It feels like you're swimming in a pool with sharks and one is about to eat you!! LOL...It comes from us being judged all of our lives. That will be a hard thing to get over. Congrats on your weight loss. I have yahoo IM, we should chat!

Take Care,

Debbie

[ladyblue3]

It's weird standing up.  I'm not usually aware of being self conscious like that. I did kind of like it though. My orientation is July 8th, we'll have to chat. Thanks!

[theknuts6]

Also....There is plenty of protein in fruits and veggies and beans. The only thing you may lack is B12 vitimans and you can take the supplement.

[ladyblue3]

Thanks for reminding me about the protein in fruits and veggies. I have not been utilizing beans the way I should. Thanks for the comment!

[NewMe1975]

Congrats on the loss, that is AWESOME!!!

[ladyblue3]

Thanks so much! :-)
