]I am so excited this morning! I hit a normal BMI of 24.9 (145 lbs). That's a place I haven't been in 11 years. I want to thank all of you for your patience, your kindness, your honesty, your emotional support because I would have, at various points, despaired of the process, the "toad froth", the stalls, the crazy eating. SO, 13 lbs to goal, and my goal date is 5/3/18. I see my doc on 1/15/18 to see what he thinks my GW should be based, on the Fit3D scan which unfortunately shows fat, muscle & skin. I say unfortunate because the image is sooo creepy. (Like that little dancing baby meme that came out in the 90's). Thank goodness your facial features are indistinct! Any way, just a little overwhelmed to reach a goal that felt unachievable back in August when I was bawling my face off about my health. No angina, free of 14 prescriptions, a total cholesterol of 99, and trigylcerides of 93! Best I've felt in 15 years! And it was NOT the easy way, as we all know. Thank you, each & every one. Looking forward to the rest of the journey, and being a faithful maintenance person,

I have my surgery date and I am so excited!!! Anyone else having surgery around the same time? I need a WLS buddy!!

I have thirteen days until my surgery. Started the pre op diet yesterday. It’s going good so far but man the bathroom runs are a killer lol. Just checking to see if anyone has the same timeline as me. I’m super excited, a little nervous. I’m glad I found this community. I stayed up most of last night reading it was eye opening. I downloaded this really cool app called Baritastic. Pretty freaking awesome. Please share your pots and your peaks with me so we can make this journey more amazing. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

October 9th surgery and my face is the same way I am doing moisturizing masks and bought myself a new over night lotion from Juice. It is helping out a lot and of course getting my fluids in sigh and yes I am running behind on those for today like always

I decided to mix it up for lunch today and went to a restaurant (first time since surgery). After looking at the menu I played it safe and since they had breakfast all day, I got 2 scrambled eggs and 3 sausage links (smallest order they had). I ate 1.5 scrambled eggs and .5 sausage links. I rounded it out with a snack 4 hours later of .5 eggs and .5 sausage links. Sausage has been a great treat, lots of flavor without any carbs and decent protein. Normally lunch has been 4 ounces of chicken salad or shredded chicken mixed with a little bit of BBQ sauce. I'm not too adventurous...

Drink some regular milk then. Maybe some medication for anxiety. And get some counseling.

Amazing story! Thank you for sharing. You are beautiful! SW 284 CW 205 GW 141 (Normal BMI) SD March 2017

My surgery is today at 12:30pm!

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are beautiful! I hope I can be as successful as you have been.

Head hunger is much better! My stomach is very noisy but I don’t feel it like I did days 3-4. I’m sooooo ready! If 16lbs makes me feel this great, I can’t imagine hitting goal!
