JELLYBEANS

Hello beautiful ppl, so glad to see you are all doing well and have all been very successful. Well...I have not hit my 100 lbs mark yet, reason being I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant. Found out I was pregnant in January and it was a complete shock, although we are truly excited and very blessed. All is well, down 76 lbs since surgery in August of last year. When I first found out I was pregnant I weighed in at 219, today I weighed in at 214. Our little boy is growing well and all looks good. Once Sept comes around and he arrives, I will be back on my workout regimen to get to my goal weight. I've got about 40lbs to go and I know that with the dedication and commitment I had pre-pregnancy all will be well

Wooo Hooo awesome Cant wait to hear from you all every saturday

I'VE BEEN SO SO BAD. IM SUPPOSED TO BE ON PUREES AND SINCE WEDNESDAY IVE BEEN HAVING MASHED POTATOES, WENDYS CHILI,FISH AND CHICKEN BREASTS, VERY VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF EACH THING OF COURSE AND CHEWED UP TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE MUSHINESS AND IVE BEEN FINE AT ONLY 11 DAYS OUT.

Hey Girl...so glad you're doing good enough to be able to update us all Congratz. I'm super excited for u!!!

Heyyyy Thanks for adding me Im so excited!!!!

I started today as well. I'm supposed to have a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and then I'm supposed to have a sensible dinner. I was sooooo hungry today. I had about 1/2 of wholewheat Pasta for dinner with tomatoe sauce and a bit of parmesan cheese, but its now 10 pm and my tummy is grumbling. Think I'm just going to go to bed to keep myself from eating LOL. I know we can do it!!!!

Hello Beautiful People, I've recently been thinking about long term complications due to the surgery, havent had a chance to speak to my surgeon about it though....have any of you heard of any? I know this procedure is fairly "new"....any thoughts?

Hello Beautiful People, So scared I wont lose the weight. I've been so strong for the past two weeks. I'm about a month away from my surgery and I'm trying to lose weight befor then, but today I failed! Stopped at McDonalds on my way home from work and bought 2 grille chicken snack wraps!!! So afraid I'll fall back into my bad eating habbits after my sleeve and that I wont lose any weight. Trying so hard to tame this head hunger, but it seems nearly impossible!!!

Brian-Thank You so very much for this beautiful post. Im scheduled to be sleeved on 8/22 and I am a total mess! Extremely afraid although I know it is the best thing for me. Your post brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations on your success.

Hey girls so glad I found you all. I'm scheduled for August 22nd.....Cant wait. Totally freaking out!!!!!! So are we the August Allstars????

Yaaayyyyyy Im so excited for you. I'm getting sleeved 8/22 as well

Hey Golden, Checking in on you. Havent seen another reply from you! Hope you're doing okay.

hey Same here. My experience was very easy. My previous PCP doctor always gave me a hard time when I brought up weight loss surgery, so I decided to change my doctor. My intentions was to find a doctor who agreed with weight loss surgery. The first time I met my new doctor, he walked in, looked at my chart and right out the bat said "have you ever considered weight loss surgery" Chachingggggggg Got my letter the second time I visited him. But, I too worried like you did and it turned out very very well

Wooo Hooo lol, I cant wait to do the same comfortably without my big ole belly getting in the way
