How r u doing with the weight loss?

Hi everyone. Haven't posted in a while.

My surgery was on 2/18.

I started process at 314' date=' 307 on surgery day, and as of Sunday was 258. 56 pounds all together!! Woohooo!

My clothes are swimming on me, I've been able to get into old clothes that have been hanging in my closet for several years not being worn. I have more energy. I'm working out and getting stronger.

In addition to my full-time job, i'm also working part-time at Uhaul. Great exercise - girl of 5'3" climbing in and out of all those big trucks all day

My boyfriend said he can tell my weight loss by how my towel wraps around me now - no gap

The best part is I'll work out until my legs feel like jelly and want to crawl into bed. But I wake up the next day with no pain! It's no longer taking me a week to recover from one workout!

Still a long way from my goal, but I actually feel like it's attainable. Even my shoes fit better. I wore heels yesterday for the first time in a long while and my feet didn't hurt![/quote']

That's great ..congrats keep it up your worth it!

We have almost the exact same stats! Great update!

Thanks.. When were u sleeved?

There are just a few things I really want..

To wear my wedding ring again

To feel that my husband is proud to have me on his arm don't get me wrong he loves me and shows my off no matter what size I am but I don't feel good enough. I know its my hang up.

And to be able to walk into a store and not have to ask where the plus sizes are!

Starting weight 260

Present weight 238

Surgery date 2/19

Well just a fast update.. My wedding rings fit..omg I almost started crying !, I don't wear the plus sizes and everyday I am feeling more and more proud to be on my hubby's arm! I love my sleeve ..thank you Jesus !,,, Hw 260, sw 238' today's weight 196!!!! Woo hooooooo goal weight 145 wish me luck

Hey guys today is my 2 mth surgaversary ! Woo hooo I'm doing fantastic starting weight 260 surgery weight 239 today 204 and I feel great.. I hit a stall for like a week and a half but the scale started moving again yesterday ! I feel very blessed to have not run into any problems .. I just want to let everyone know of a realization I have come to that some of u may feel or have felt and realized it after u started losing the weight... Ok.... I FORGOT ABOUT ME! I was so big I didn't feel girlie so why dress that way, why care about cute cloths and make up and my hair was just fine threw up in a pony tail! It was all about my kids, my husband , my home, the dogs, and then way down on the list was me, but since I started this journey I have had no choice but to have to put me first. And I have realized that no mater how much your family loves u that if u don't put your self first no one will.. So I now take that hr to do my makeup and hair and even tho I will lose more weight and they will be to big on me I have bought cute outfits to wear that me me feel girlie again.. So I guess my new moto is ME, MYSELF and everyone else lol... At least for a little while...lol... So I guess I just wanted to say thank u to everyone in the thread for all the post that have helped me with my journey .. And keep giving the updates cuz I know for sure they have helped me...

Only 2 day liquid?

Having weight loss surgery was a decision my husband and I made together. For personal reasons I made the decision to keep it strictly between my husband and I. We haven't told anyone not even family. I just did not care to hear all the judgement' date=' opinions, criticism, etc. My issue now is I have an appt with my physician for a yearly exam and also to get clearance to have surgery on my foot. I have worked in the medical profession my entire life and know how nosey office staff can be and the loose tongues some tend to have. Yes there is suppose to be patient confidentiality but let's face it if there is someone that wants to spread gossip that's not going to deter them. My ? Is this..is there any harm if I don't disclose my VSG to my physician and to the physician that is going to be doing surgery on my foot? I don't want it in my medical record for the wrong person to read and broadcast all over town. Thoughts?[/quote']

I had my sleeve done on feb 19th this yr and today in fact I had a d &c done I told my doc about the vsg and he was like oh ok and acted like no big deal bit when the Anastasia guy cam in I told him and he was like omg thank god u told me and noted in bold print ! So tell your doc if not doc then the Ana people

Thanks Cagle!

Robyn: I was thinking the same thing!! I could have been sleeved in sometime thus month! But April 3rd is close enough! Lol
