That is one HECK of a NSV!!! (nonscale victory) These are some of the things that keep us goin g for sure!! I can personally say that wouldn't work for me because my hubby has always way outweighed me. But he had his Sleeve surgery and is losing great now! When we got married (I was 17 and he was 23) I weighed 135#'s and he weighed 350. He made me feel so tiny. LOL I did get scared at my highest weight. I got as high as 285#'s. I thought you better do something or you will catch up to him. LOL Something like so many others I fought my weight all of my adult life. Thankfully I got my WLS July 2, 2013. I have maintained my 124# loss for 3 years now. I can't wait for him to get his weight off so we can begin to live life again. Way to go on your weight loss!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

MY surgery is on February 15th! Any last minute tips or advise are greatly appreciated! I'm beyond nervous!

I emailed my surgeon on Friday and dropped by yesterday. The surgeon emailed me yesterday to tell me I was approved and I just have to wait for a date. I will be calling the coordinator tomorrow to check in.

Like the person above me said, I was expecting a November surgery date and FINALLY got a date for march 1st. This whole process varies so much and every program is different. That being said, a lot of the delay was because of my old case worker, since having a new one things have gone pretty quickly. It'll happen! Beg them lol.

I'm really trying, but my super skinny husband weighs 145. I've still got a ways to go. He was 125 when we married, though. I've never weighed less...maybe next month. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Keep fighting! Take in your liquids and that should keep you full, but you will have to battle the head hunger. Once you start seeing and feeling how healthy you are becoming the easier it will be! I for one do not want my weight to come off too quickly. I want my body and brain to have time to adjust to the changes. The weight will go, I mean hey ...... you and I can only hold 4 oz of anything in our stomach......it will go! Just stay focused on your goal. Weigh your food, get your protein, drink your liquids, take your vitamins and exercise your way to that healthy, happy person you deserve to be! Oh wait what is your screen name....pathtosuccess.....I think you are already on your way.

So that's great you lost a lot quick and your doing well. The only tips I have is to stick with the diet they give you once you stray it can be difficult to get back on for some so keep your goal in mind. High Protein low carbs

Omg! I was sleeved on the same day as you and I just lost 30lbs. I want to loose around 45lbs more but I see I don't loose so fast anymore. To be honest, I don't train much but I take care of my food. To eat good quality and protein but still. I'm starting to get worried. :/

I felt very much the same way. I was totally made up in my mind to have to surgery so that's how I took it God in prayer. I wanted it, was scared, nervous and willing to be obedient. I knew I had prayed for so any other things and this surgery was an answer to those prayers. But you know what's going on with you. The feeling of dying on the table is normal and being scared that you will be punished by death is also normal. Like other said. Listen for the holy spirit to guide you and go with it. Nothing makes response more clear than a little fasting and praying. Sent from my iPhone
