Can't ask for anything better than that. Good job!

My aunt lost almost all of her hair, broke off. So she cut it pretty short and wore wigs for awhile. Now her hair is thickening and growing back out....but she still wears her wigs. Think she likes to be a different person every day. lol

I'm right there with you. I'm having mine on 12/19 if all goes as planned. My husband tries to act supportive, but he doesn't have a clue either. His only fear is that I'll die on the table.....that was literally his only question for the surgeon "how many people have died on your table?". I did so much research, both on the surgery and on the surgeon, and am positive that I'm doing the right WLS with the right surgeon. I told my husband if he loves me then he should want me around for as long as I can be, and that the risks of me not having the surgery far out way the risks of the surgery itself. I'm doing it to majorly reduce my risk of having a stroke or heart attack anytime soon, and of course losing weight is a bonus. All I can say is that after it's done, he'll either hop on board and be supportive, or he'll move on. Either way, you have to do what's right for you and your health and hope it brings y'all closer in the long run. Good luck!

Good luck!! Let us know how you do and have a fast and painless recovery

That just shows how judgemental people truly are. I was thin until I hit 30, then it all went down hill. But even at my smallest I NEVER treated anyone badly due to their weight, maybe because I had a 350 lbs. aunt (who is now 150 after her RNY). All I can say is what comes around goes around and those people will have their own heartache eventually.

Way to go! I'm hoping to go from a 22/24 to a 7/9 myself.

You're crazy girl....I can see it; you're arms are thinner as is your face and waist. Have you taken your measurements? I've heard alot of people say they will lose inches instead of weight, then go back to weight vs. inches, etc. 5 lbs. a week is awesome!

Good luck! WTG on the quitting smoking. You'll be just fine.

Thanks for sharing. I too can't wait for these NSV moments. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! Hope you have a quick recovery.

Things that go down easy, without pain, but have high fat/calories that your body will still absorb (ex: like ice cream, which is my downfall) or high sugar drinks, etc.

Congrats!

I've been drinking herbalife shakes w/ extra Protein for Breakfast for at least a year now and plan to stick with it because it's the only shake I like and comes in a lot of different flavors. I'm trying to start my exercise regime now, which includes zumba, yoga and lots of walking. I'm buying draw string pants that I can wear for awhile as I drop sizes because I don't want to spend a ton of money on new clothes until I near goal. I'm hoping to find a clothing exchange program in my area...or maybe I'll start on

Thank you. I've done so much research on the different WLS and have spoken to and read so many blogs, I know what I'm getting into and I'm ready for it. Good luck to you as well!

Congrats! Can't wait until my clothes get too big..

Yes we can!

I can only hope mine goes away. Just say'n

Amen!

Congrats! Hope to do that soon myself

Hi everyone, I've just finished all my prerequisites for my VSG and am so excited for my surgery in December. Hope to find some friends that are going through the same journey I am that I can share victories with as well as vent when needed. I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey and can't wait to start posting my own victories soon.
