I did, and I loved it. I knew then I was beautiful. I was so in shock I pulled out my camera and snapped a picture of it. I was amazed. I dont see it every day so when I do I am shocked and happy all over again.

I hear you on that.... its like heres a desk slam your head into it until it stops hurting. me.. ok

It will its gotta, we got no where else to go and the rest of our lives to drop all this weight. Keep me posted, I try to check in here when I remember. You can also find me on Obesityhelp.com/forums/vsg

Tiff, I hope so. I am looking forwards to starting my walking tonight. I think 2 miles will feel good, then some nice tuna fish for dinner. LOL

Thanks for popping into my topic. But I was wondering what you ment by the fact I wont have the kind of weight loss that happens right after surgery. I am a month out and 15/17 pounds is my great loss of the post surgery wave. I dont mind the ups and downs, I am at least not gaining and I love that. But I thought I would have seen a little more drop in weight. I know dont compair, but people who had surgery right near mind and some same day. Have lost up to 30 pounds. I figured I was doing something wrong. I love the idea its a marathon not a sprint, but really if it slows down after awhile what the heck am I gonna do?:scared0::001_huh:

The floor can have my hair as long as I get the weight off

My days round out about 700-750 calories About 55-57 carbs good carbs (the heavy hit is from my oatmeal in the morning) 29 grams of Fat and 68-70 grams of protein I am getting my walking starting today about 2 miles I really hope that it helps. I had my blood drawn about 2.5 weeks ago and everything was ideal. I am seeing my bariatrician (I think thats how its spelt) a nurtionist specializing in WLS, on May 27th.

I seem to have started with a steady rate. LOL slow. No the allergy does not bother me. As I am no longer on the supplements for Protein.

TIFF save me!!! I was sleeved April 16th 2010. My surgery went wonderful. And since then I have LOST about 15 pounds give or take a pound or two. I get my Dr. required amount of protein, I get my water, I slack on my vits (trying hard though), I'm at a loss. Background on me. It turns out after surgery I am allergic to not that I just dont like them. But I am allergic to un-natural protein, powders, shots, drinks, you name it I cant take it. So my diet had to be slightly altered. I follow all guides my dr could ork with me for. He had never seen something so odd before and hes been doing this for years. Anywho, I first was thinking, my body was in shock:scared0:. And then after two weeks of that, I thought, Maybe just maybe it was cause I had lost 55 pounds before my surgery, and I was in body freak out mode.:eek: Ok so now whats the deal?? I eat something little every 2 hours, I drink all the time except right after a meal. Any idea's?

I am also a member of both boards. I check OH daily and when I remember I bounce over here. I happen to prefer OH a tad more, oddly enough they seem so much more open. But I have found that the people I want to mainly hear about post at both boards so I dont miss much. I pop in here from time to time, there is good and bad about each site. DRAMA Galore everywhere. Best wishes dear... Kat

Each dr appt is different for each person. Just relax and enjoy it.

I was refered into Options May 11th of 2009 I started Options Classes Sept 3rd. 2009 I finished Options Classes Dec 17th 2009 I meet my Dr. January 7th 2010 My surgery is April 16th 2010 Cause the hospital I picked became over booked with 7 options classes finishing before the end of the year.

It is honestly not that new of a surgery. For WL yes but for in general not all that new. Now as a stand alone surgery many people are seeing better results from the sleeve then they would from the band. Nearing the exact same as the RnY, and if time keeps with the pace might even become the new 'gold' standard. So ask your questions and post your fears, what is freaking you out about it?

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats right, I finally got my date ( ok so I got it last week but I have not been here.) So its April 16, 2010...

Welcome to VST, I am pre-op so I dont have a story to read or share with you just yet. But best of luck on your journey.
