My surgery day was Jan 16. Doing good so far but I feel like I lacking so much information to be truly successful. How are you doing?

Congrats. I had my surgery Jan. 16, 2013. I have had my moments but as long as you remember that this process is gradual and not an overnight miracle than all the puzzle pieces will start to make sense. I am 32 lbs down and truly needed to have this surgery because my methods used in the past were not working. I have had two bouts of cancer I would hate myself if I got rediagnosed because of my weight issues. So plug on and stay focused. Read your labels and get comfortable with your required protein intake. I am here if you need to vent. God knows I am by myself in this too. That is why I joined this venue several days ago.

What is a NUT?

I have been post op for five weeks and have lost approx.32lbs. I do, however, find myself to still be hungry even though I know my tummy can not hold anymore. Protein shakes help me but the act of chewing and swallowing is more gratifying. I can only pray that my success remains positive and that I don't have any horror stories to share. To you all-good luck and remain focused and driven. It is a gradual process with many obstacles but living a better life should always be your true reward.

That is so awesome. I can't wait for that day to come. i am literally at my heaviest and have weighed at my lowest 145 lbs. I know the journey is going to be long but at the end I want to know that I accomplished my walk with grace and determination. Thank you sooooo much for the lift in my spirit. God bless

On my birthday. Yea! It is the best decision I have made for myself, hands down

Just seeing if there was anyone out there who could possibly be 5-6 week post op. I just need a motivator and would love to chat. Weighed in at 255 and currently 32lbs lighter. Surgery was January 16, 2013. It is a struggle but so worth the sacrifice. Dr Carlos Juarez attending physician. Love him.
