Lol. You girls are funny. I actually tried on my year 2000 prom dress this weekend and it fit and it ZIPPED!!!! I was thrilled.

Great thread!! I'm 11 weeks out. 2/27/13 surgery date. Start weight 303. Day of surgery 288. Current weight 252. Down 51 total and 36 since surgery. About 3 weeks total. And 2 week long stalls through so far. Better than I could ever do on my own. I'm thrilled!!
I work out for 40-45 minutes a day about 5-6 times a week. Mostly walking and beginning to jog. I'm eating about 800-1000 calories a day. I'm taking 2 chewy vits, 1200 mg Calcium, B12, frolic acid, Biotin and 2 Pepcid.

Tell some jokes if you can. The nurses will laugh at them whether they are funny or not. The insurance pays for it.

Totally agree with this post. I am schedule for 2/27. I have been doing preop diet for 12 days now And had no cheats. I am so excited about surgery and a new outlook in food but yesterday was hard thinking that I won't be able to pig out again even just on a while hoagie. But that is the same exact reason I am doing this. Because me and food, we need a break up.
The changes and positive things with this outweigh the fact that I can't stuff my face anymore.
Good luck to everyone the next few days. We will check on the other side.

Good luck today Philly nurse! I'm getting mine done at st Mary's in langhorne

Also day 1 for me. It is rough. I'm struggling but totally rocking this diet. Only for my health

I'm new to all of this. I've been more of a voyeur so far but I just had one of the most profound experiences of my journey so far and was advised to share.
I am pre Op VSG, scheduled for surgery February 11th. I'm out of town on business and to kill some time before dinner I decided to take a walk through the local mall. I'd been walk for about thirty minutes and out of the blue I felt my eyes began to Water. I realized just in that moment, as I passed stores admiring all of the spring colors, that for the first time in my adult life I'd have an opportunity to shop anywhere. In a matter of months I could be back here with my pick of the lot. Not just 'Window Shopping'. Not getting ideas, only to shuffle over to the big girl store or the plus section and try to recreate the looks I've always admired.
So far I've been focused on the more
obvious plus sides of surgery. Better health, less aches and pains, crossing my legs. Hell, being able to see my lady parts without channeling my inner contortionist (sorry if anyone's offended). I've been focused on preparing for my pre Op Diet and my post op meal and supplement schedule. I hadn't thought about shopping! Like most people I have a few sizes of clothes in my closet so I have no immediate need.
So I wouldn't look like a plum fool, sobbing in the middle of the mall, I called my cousin to share. She giggled for a few minutes and told me I have another thing to look forward to on this journey. She also encouraged me to share it with others. She said it could help me to feel less nuts if I found out I wasn't the only one whose been going through these types of things.
So here I am, sharing my emotional moment, not nuts but blessed to have another thing to look forward to.
