How much does everyone fluctuate? I am 3 lbs up today ugh!!

Sorry for the typo, fluctuation that is.

Isn't it true that it will stretch your sleeve?

That's right let's all stick together. Luv u all

What an amazing journey this is. It just hit me how absolutely exciting this is. I have waited my whole life to be of a "normal" weight. I will do it and I am sooo excited. I am also grateful to share it with all of you. I was worried that I couldn't fine a support group in my area and now I know I have one, so thank to everyone here!!!!

Hysterical...I know that I want one soon. I want it to be sexy though lol

Ok I wasn't gonna do it for fear of being judged but WTH here goes... 1) I have had some wine 2) I have had some chocolate. 3) I have started smoking again 4) I would kill for a Big Mac with extra sauce 5) I have had anxiety attacks post surgery. I know, I know. All I can say is this is so much more than I anticipated. I am adjusting but this is a HUGE change. I didn't underestimate the commitment but I didn't fully realize the entire impact. I know I will succeed but obviously not without testing some limits.

Same here and I'm getting the feeling it's gonna stick around. 19 days postop.

It's all good

Lost 13.5 preop and 11 postop. I am on day 19 postop. Total 24.5. an additional 15.5 to qualify for surgery. I started all this in August 2011. Grand total 40 pounds. Wow I can't believe it! Start weight 282 now 242 Not sure what I want to be my goal weight. I'm thinking 175 would be good for my frame but we'll see. BTW I have NEVER admitted my true weight to anyone. Liberating and scary lol Congrats to u all!!!!!

When does the diarrhea stop ????

Poor justification for rude behavior.

Thanks sherry I see my doc tomorrow it's at the top of my list. Meanwhile ahhh!!

Some soft foods that is...

I've been on some some foods but it hasn't stopped yet . I'm afraid to go back to work for this exact reason. I'm due to return on the 20th.

Congratulations and wishing u a speedy recovery.

OTR u always have great input

Some people have no brakes on what they say to others. Being self righteous isn't very appealing.

Dropped 4.4 lbs more. Wow now we're talking!! Pre and post op 7/26 total 22 lbs. whew that's better
