Highest Weight 280
Surgery 9/17/2012 weight 231

I've been eating a lot lately. Seems like the more people that tell me how much weight I've lost the more I stuff my face.

My last period was 9/10 surgery was on 9/17 and still no period If I'm pregnant I'll also be a widow because i'll kill my husband haha

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Reading everyone's post on here really helped me get through the last few weeks.
I don't have a current full body but I think you can see the weight loss in my face.

I will never ever, ever, EVER grow tired of posts titled "onderland." YAY! I haven't lived in Onderland since Jr. High and for the first time in my life, I'm feeling that it might actually be attainable. Thanks for the inspiration!

Finally after 3 weeks at the 203-206 range

I rode my bike to work yesterday and again today. I gained 2 lbs over night. I have a scale at work and weight myself in the morning I know it's horrible to weigh in everyday but its my only current addiction

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to say that Sunday October 21, 2012 was
my 4 year anniversary for having VSG aka the sleeve on October 21, 2008. Dr. Aceves did my sleeve and from there I lost a total of 105 pounds and have kept it off. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful Dr. Aceves and his entire staff are. They are magnificent, caring, compassionate, kind, and the hospital is the very best you could ever want to have surgery in. They clean 24-7 at this hospital. When I was there they cleaned my room 3 times a day. I also saw 2 doctors at least 2 times a day while I was there. In my book I feel Dr. Aceves is the finest Weight Loss Surgeon there is out there. I can only speak about my knowledge, but I highly endorse him. You will see that countless people feel the same about him as I do.

I want you to know that you can have this kind of accomplishment
too! Life has changed so much for me. I am 67 years old now and I do things that I would have never done before. If you are the person who is sitting out there reading all these posts and you can’t make up your mind PLEASE step up and do something to change YOUR life. My
only regret is that I should have done it sooner.

I could make a very long list of the things that have changed in my life. I think the 1st thing is for the first time in a long time my health is superior, and 4 years ago I couldn’t say that. My primary care physician said I have set a great example for “older” people. He knows I went to Mexicali, Mexico and is so very supportive of what I have done. He has asked me if I would be willing to talk with some of his patients and explain what I have done to change my life, and I just may do this. I don’t care what your age is, please consider having weight loss surgery, it will save your life, change your life, and all for the better.

I have set some goals for myself. I was the person who HATED to exercise. Now I am the person who wants to exercise. My first goal was to walk EVERY DAY for 30 days and not to miss one day. I completed that goal 10 days ago and today I hit my goal of walking 40
days in a row NOT missing one day. My next goal is to walk 60 days in a row and not miss a day. I walk in the sun, wind or rain, because I can and it feels good—something I NEVER would have said 5 years ago. I walk on an average 3 to 4 miles a day. 5 years ago I was lucky to
walk around the block 3 times a week.

If you have any questions or I can help you with anything, please contact me. You can send me a private E-mail to: Suzannesh@aol.com
or contact me on this site. I am here to help you, support you, cheer you on, or just talk about what you need help with. You can have this kind of success too! It feels so very good!
Hugs,
Suzanne

One month and 2 days post op. down 21lbs
Every time I see that I'm tagged in a
photo on Facebook I cringe in fear of how Awful I'm going to look. Above is two photos of me that people posted Facebook. I can't get over how different my face looks. I wish I could fast forward a few months

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Most pictures of me are ones I'm not aware of because I normally hide behind the camera.

I started biking because I hate the subway and the MTA fees keep going up. But now I love watching the sunrise over manhattan and all the Beautiful Scenery you miss when you're too busy trying to catch a train. Hopefully it won't be too cold when I reach my 6 week mark in 2 weeks

Living with in-laws I can see as a big strain on a marriage. Especially a new marriage. I dont know your situation but if its to save money id say move out. I think your sanity out weighs saving money. Good luck!

I had surgery on 9/17 ( monday ) and went back to work 9/24 ( monday )....
