Hey everyone I wasn't able to log on for a while. I'm here now.

Weight hasn't shifted in a bit but suddenly I'm down a jean size -- yippee!

Delay after delay! I went to the seminar in July 2013. Then I completed psych, cardiac and 4 nutrition visits. Then I found out I needed a special clearance from the PCP who doesn't seem to understand what is needed and has caused over 1 month delay. This is the last thing that has to come in before insurance can be engaged. At one point, I thought I would have the surgery before the end of the year. Now, March is looking iffy. Feeling frustrated - will this ever happen?

You reach a point where its not about the numbers anymore (at least for me)

I love thrift stores

Anyone out there finding an increase in their appetite after gastric bypass? I'm 9 months out and the last few week I have noticed that I'm more hungry than I have been. This makes me so nervous. I want to loose about 10 more lbs. have been tat a stand still lately. Not sure if it's a plateau or that I need a kick to get re-motivated. I'm just confused and somewhat disgusted with myself. Any suggestions appreciated.

weighed in today at 222!! Im lost for words. another 13lbs in 3 weeks.

98 lbs gone, I believe forever. Mind blowing!

I am new to this site, hoping to make some friends in my area who have had WLS also.

turned 60 years young today - i have never felt better

I'm 8 pounds from Onderland...it's been 15 years since I've seen a number like that. Will it ever get here?

Does anyone ever feel like they will just keep losing weight until nothing's left but a bag of jiggly skin?

Had my first appointment with my surgeon - it was AMAZING! I now have a binder that I need to carry around with me to all my pre-op appointments. Still haven't been officially 'approved' for surgery; I guess that's what all the appointments are about.

Down 12 lbs from my last appointment! Sitting pretty at 177. Waiting for Dr. Jessee now to ask about Roller Derby...

68 # down and 6# to first goal!

Half way to goal...70 pounds lost as of today and 70 more to go! I CAN and WILL do it this time! Feeling proud!

What is the deal?? I haven't lost any weight in almost 3 weeks. I'm 7 weeks post-op. I should not have stalled this quickly. I have so much weight to lose!

WLS - You get out of it what you put into it. It is a tool that you must interact with for any kind success.

So I had my gallbladder out on December 27th. A minor bump in my road. I feel much better. I had a 1 inch gallstone stuck in my gallbladder.

Today I meet with the nurse before surgery!! Yay! almost there.

I am now the crazy lady in the checkout line buying only healthy food. The only thing bought from the center aisles was water.

Brand new here... hoping to find lots of support, encouragement, and information. Also, to BE a support to others!
