Tomorrow I will be 1 month out and I'm down 17 lbs. I know it's going down slow, but I'm so happy that the scale it's finally moving after a week stall. 45 pounds to goal, I wonder how long that's going to take.

Well I cried today.....Not sure what came over me. I was sitting on the couch talking to my mom about the sx and I realised my legs were crossed! I starting crying my mom was very confused i had to explain to her that I didnt know how many years its been since i was able to cross my legs. I cant remember.. It was such an overwhelming feeling. I dont even remember doing it it must of been just natural.

I got my approval today and my surgery is next Friday. Pre op class is on the 25th. I'm doing a self imposed pre op diet starting tomorrow. I'm going to a buffet tonight, already planned. Since I live in Vegas, I wanted to do one last seafood buffet because I won't pay the prices afterwards to eat 3 shrimp. LOL!
Now, I have to find a way to break it to my 5 year old.

Congratulations!!!
Looking good!

Good luck...I am almoste 2 weeks after surgery and doing great...been working all last week, and been doing light cleaning, laundry and all that...the only thing I can say is that I am exhausted in the afternoon and have been sleeping A LOT...no pain medicine, not even Tylenol...good luck and start walking as soon as you can after the surgery and as much as you can!

Hey Ladies!!! Great news!! I will be sleeved in about a week!!! Woo Whooo!!! I'm soooo excited!!!!

Hello Liz...I know exactly what you are talking about...I feel just the same
On the bright side, I got my acceptance letter Yesterday!!!!! WOO-HOOO... and hoping to be able to have the surgery on the 28th if not January 3rd. One of the insurance companies is dropping bariatric surgeries as a benefit, so my dr. is trying to take care of all his patients with that insurance...so I am starting my liquid diet next Monday and hope for the 28th...if not January 3rd for sure...too excited!!!
