A t-shirt I bought pre-surgery and want to show the progress of me gradually being able to fit into it.

Man, some of you are dropping weight super fast! I've lost about 50 since surgery on 1/16, but on average that's nearly half a pound a day!

Best of luck to you!

I know with my program some of the people involved are on the approval board and some aren't. I believe my dietician is, but my behavioral health specialist is not, but it could be different from hospital to hospital.

Ugh, I hate that. Aside from the fact that it's not easy (it's not like it's liposuction!), it almost comes across to me as "you don't deserve easy" when I hear about people saying it. Yeah. Cuz growing up fat was easy. Continually losing weight on diets and gaining it back was easy. Feeling huge and having to fear waking up in the morning and not being able to fit in your pants is easy. God forbid someone would do something that might make weight loss and a healthier lifestyle a little easier for them.

Congrats on your approval and best of luck!!!!! For your pre-op diet are you only allowed liquids or can you do a no-carb diet?

I feel way too big anymore to even have sex comfortable. Hoping when I lose I'll get my groove back

Yeah, gallbladder surgery isn't terrible. I was eating Chinese food again in 3 days after I had mine out. It's just moving around in bed and stuff that's sucky for a few days.

WOO HOO, sounds fantastic! The embarrassment of not being able to fit on rides is awful -- on my honeymoon I went to Universal and got kicked off Harry Potter for being too big, even though I'd already ridden it twice earlier. I never, ever, ever want to go through something like that again. Show those inner tubes who's boss! Lol!
