Surgery tomorrow at 8:30am. "If I die before I wake, a date with John I will surely make". I am ready...

Headed to ER. Pretty intense left side pain. Doc wants me to get a cat scan to rule out infection /leak.

Finally found a way around my egg avulsion - simple and delicious 5-minute egg drop soup! 1.5 cups of water, a bit of bouillon, some garlic and paprika, and two eggs beat together. Perfect meal, 13 grams of protein.

I really can't understand all the drama. this is an internet forum - and the ignore function works just fine if someone in particular annoys you or you them...........

7 week follow-up went great! I can have chicken and veggies again. Real food!

7 days 7 lbs

Just booked a log cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains for our October leaf peeping trip.....we go every year but this will be the first time we stay in a log cabin. Come on fall!!!

Post op day 4... I've got this

I made it!!! ONEderland is here! 199 this morning. YAYYYYY!!!!

Gonna be busy for a while. Hope all remains well here on BP. Don't let people be idiots and sabotage their safety. Call 'em out on it. I would if I were here. Have fun. Be safe. Enjoy the new fun that your weight loss will allow.

Day 3 post op. Lost of gas in my chest. Doing well on water and protein. Tummy is sore, especially around the larger incision

My surgery was May 16th and as of this morning I'm half way to goal!!! 56 pounds lost, 56 pounds to go!!

Oh, why hello there Onederland. It's been far too long... =D

I've been very nice so far but I'm getting a little pissed off at my Program for not having their acts together and ordering my pre-op testing! I want this done!

Hello 240's! -21lbs down!

4 days postop, I can't believe I did it

BP completely normal (112/78) this morning. Surgery date August 17.

Voicemail from surgeon's office says I've been approved. Will call in the a.m. and get the scoop, and hopefully my date.

Fun time last night seeing Steve Miller Band. The guy has serious skills and some bluesy chops that I really enjoyed. Very attractive young gal sitting right in front of me....alone. She wasn't alone as soon as the opening act finished....their guitarist came and sat beside her, clearly a couple. It was a cool experience to shake his hand and thank him for playing so well for the crowd. He really kicked ass on Hendrix's "Little Wing". Overall....excellent show.

We took the kids to the pool today and I wore a swimsuit and got in to splash around with the kids. I never would have done this last summer. Feeling happy!

I have meet my goal weight! 113 down and gone forever

11 months post-RNY today. I did my usual weighing/measuring/etc, and though I only lost 6 pounds in the last month, I did lose a couple inches. Plodding along now... I've lost 168 since surgery and at least 223 pounds overall. I have not made the goal weight that I had for myself at the beginning of this year, and I'm still 219 pounds, but I now realize that I truly don't care. I'm healthy, happy, and I don't hate the way I look in the mirror. Everything that comes after this is just gravy.

I am doing great following my brachioplasty that was completed yesterday. Today the pain is worse and of course lots of swelling but holy cow are my arms tiny! Even swollen! It makes me excited for the next phase which will be tummy and breasts 3 months from now.

Today is my one year, 139 pounds down, 50 to go!

Went to my first consultation with my surgeon today. After he examined my abdomen, he said that I have a small frame. Still trying to wrap my head around that one.
