9 months out at the end of this month & I've lost 95 pounds! Can't believe how fast it has gone by.... so blessed!

I just got mine done from Dr. Alvarez... I adore him. They put you in a hotel beforehand, you stay 2 days in the hospital and after they put you in another hotel... all included. They have such a great program and it was really great. I don't know the other doctor but I'm sure he is great too. I just felt so at ease with Dr. Alvarez and his program. I'd call both doctors and get all the information and decide. Not sure if you've already done that but I'd do that and see what you think. I'm almost a week out, yay!

I just had mine done on June 25th and so far I've lost 27 pounds which I'm super thankful for but..... it seems this surgery had made me more aware of my eating problems/habits which have made me have to take a real look at ME. Someone I've been avoiding all my life... I always avoid mirrors and when I go to shower I NEVER look at my body... and because of the surgery I've had to. I have felt depressed actually looking at myself thinking, "wow I can't believe I let it get this bad".... with baggy clothes its like you're hiding. My poor husband... he has been in love with me since high school & he has always seen true beauty in me. I feel so bad for him having to help me through this real examining of myself. He has been so proud of me and it hurts him when I am so upset with my body. He has to keep reminding me that I did make a change and am changing. I love him so much, he has loved me for me and I can't wait to be the person he deserves. I don't know how long it will take for me to change those habits you all described... because I sure do them too.... but each day I will try and focus on how beautiful God has made me and that I'm on a journey of changing.

isn't it cool though that at 22 pounds we're already seeing results. My sister gave me some of her old clothes so I'm using those but yeah I'm going to have to go to good will soon yay!

im 2 weeks post op and a couple of days into the full liquid diet. i crave everything! lol kicker is, ill eat, feel full, and an hour and a half later, im hungry again!!
as far as cravings go, once i eat and feel full, the cravings go away.

So thankful I'm not alone LOL! Yes, and even worse its always someones birthday or a party is happening where a ton of extra pizza is available... haha and everyone says OHH sorry... this must be torture for you. I just say no, I'm used to it.... and inside I'm thinking I'm strong and I can do this and I will be so happy later on. Eat to live, not live to eat

OMG I had surgery las tuesday and a week before I had to be on liquids and now I crave everything!!!! everyone eats and I wanna eat food too but I know my tummy wont tolerate it. I guess its all mental we gotta get use to it. best of luck on your journey

Mine is sloooowly creeping off as well. My surgery was June 13th and I've only lost 17lbs. Not getting discouraged yet!

so funny that I too just bought this today!

I am having mine June 25th as well. Been on my liquid diet for 17 days... have to be on it total of 21! This is hard but I'm doing well. I've lost 14 pounds and I hope to lose more before Monday... but we will see. Anyone know how the pain will be after the surgery? What anyone has told you? I wonder how much I will lose by July 28th.... that is my 10 year high school reunion and I want to look good It is sooo nice to know that I am not alone on June 25th

that sounds sooo awesome!

June 25th!
