I had sx on feb 18th, I am down 9 lbs so far... Lots of pain in my right abd where a drain was placed, I can still only tolerate sips of chicken broth and water... Other things like popsicles, Protein Water, and sf Jello, etc give me horrible pain and bubbling feeling... I go see dr on thursday, cant wait!! Need to make sure all is normal... I know everything can only get better, I do not regret my decision at all!! Pease love and to god be all the glory!

Yay! I had my surgery on monday February 18th, my starting over point!!! My starting weight was 254lbs on Sept 20th, 2012.... Before starting the 2 week Pre op diet I weighed in at 223.... Surgery date of February 18, I weighed in at 212!!!!! Prob have put on a few since surgery due to all the fluids n such, I feel very tight and swollen in my hands and feet. I am laying in my hospital bed sipping on Protein Water, I do have cramps with each swallow I take. Have any questions just ask.... Will check my weight next week and publish then. Cant wait to start experimenting with food, I love The World According to Eggfaces' blog, I think many of you will too. She has a great variety of recipes, I don't like to get bored.. Let me know if you know of any other helpful blogs! <3 CCL

I posted on another thread my low level due to scale moving up today, so to look for inspiration I went to look at a pic I took the week before surgery.
While scale didnt move this week - happy with the pics.

Hi all,
I promised I would post when I reached 12 months out, so here it is...I started out at 240 (highest) and lost 4lbs on the pre op diet. My last weigh in was 169, for a total loss of 71 pounds in a year. I'm very happy with that, and the last few months have been slower in terms of loss, but it's still coming off, so I can't really complain. My birthday was on 2/14 and my husband surprised me with a birthday/valentine's day/belated honeymoon (we got married in 2009) trip to Kauai this past week, and I gained about 3.5lbs, but it was worth it! I'm already back on track with my eating and working out, so I'm sure that vacation weight will be gone in no time. My ultimate goal is to get down to 140, but I'm starting to wonder if that's realistic...I'm attaching a few pics for your enjoyment --thanks for reading!

I am proud to announce that Dr Kuwada found room for me!!! I am scheduled for Nov. 19th! liquid diet starts Monday! Yaaaayyyyy!!!!

Any of the small clothes still hanging in my closet..... Remembering how good I used to feel in them, so confident! I need me back, asap
