Sounds like you are right on point to me, keep up the good work!

I was so excited for my surgery and I've pretty much told everyone in my life including co-workers about it. My family has been great, but some of my co-workers have been shady. I've even had a few try to tell me that WLS is cosmetic! As if. Now I am not one who cares too much about what others think. But it's super annoying. half of the reason I shared is because 75% of the women I work with are overweight themselves and perhaps hearing my story would inspire them. Instead they hate. Well they will really hate me a year from now when I'm a size 8. Ha.
highest weight = 228 DOS = 219 CW = 203 DOS was May 7th 2013

I always weighed myself everyday to keep me in check and I know that is probably a bad idea. You wake up feel thinner and you gained 3lbs I know its Water weight fluctuations and whatever but it messes you up in the head. I had my surgery on the 23 of may and I've lost 15-20 lbs it goes up one day next it's less. It's driving me a little nuts. How often do you guys weigh yourself? And any ideas on how to keep yourself from doing it everyday? I feel like having my partner hide it and give it to me every 2 weeks

There's a petite pill I swallow. My dr. Advised me because I could not chew them..I hate the taste

I actually went and made a separate list for any statuses related to my wls. I chose people on my fb that I trusted as well as close family members that already knew. Good luck!

I chose to not put it on FB... I have friends on there but I would rather just let them see me after its all done!! And I look fabulous

You are very brave, I really don't want my old high school FB friends to know I got fat in the first place

I'm 31 and I've got a GREAT bunch of friends! So far no one has had any boneheaded comments. I don't care if I get one. I'll be glad to let them go from my FB life. I know lots of folks who don't really know in person 1/2 of their FB friends...well, I have a VERY large family (over 125 first cousins) I have 11 siblings. And I went to boarding school. So most of mine are people I consider family anyway. I told my Husband I made it FBO and he thinks it was a good choice. I mean we put on there about traffic, idiots at Walmart, when our kids do great things....why not put-(this is not how I worded it) I'm getting healthy & hot at the same time bc I decided its time to change physical me-which is going to end up changing (a little at least) inside me.

I wish I could... Like he is seriously mad right now
0_o It all started because he wanted tri tip and potatoes for dinner tonight (the skinny bastard)
And it's f**king 90 degrees!!! So then he's like you know you don't work you could at least treat this ( the house kids and him) like a full time job...
I'm so mad and we never actually fight that I'm beside myself right now!!
He's getting his meat and potatoes and like a good "housewife" I just noticed 4 overripe bananas and I'm making banana bread too.
Ok I hear the 1950's calling me gotta go..
Ps I'm REALLY MAD! And I think hurt... But mostly MAD.

I have four children. They don't ever let me forget to feed them because they eat non-stop! My husband needs to forget sometimes!

My friend took this candid picture of me cooking yesterday and I was shocked that I looked so adorable! It's the first time I've ever been pleased with a candid shot of me it feels so good!

Keep your fingers crossed I don't have to delete too many 'friends' for saying idiot things! Lol.

I had an upper GI w barium swallow pre-op....it was nothing, basically an x-ray...and endoscopy is a bigger deal (I've heard). The leak test after surgery was worse (just because the liquid they have you swallow is TERRIBLE tasting...makes barium seem delish :-)

I was just sleeved on May 20th and I have over 200 pounds to loose. I'm telling myself that I can do it and I'll give it all I got.

I sure hope so! I need to lose 215 from my highest weight... I know the next hundred will come off slower than the first hundred.. but I'm patient. It's a lot easier for me to be patient now that I'm sleeved and feeling satisfied with the amount of food I'm eating.. before my sleeve surgery, I was SO impatient with weight loss because it was so much torture to be eating such low calories and then not see the scale move.. Now, I'm like "eh, if it doesn't move this week, It will move eventually"..... and it always does!

Hi all... so surgery was done in like 45 min. Because I didn't had the proper nutrition before I came into surgery, my blood pressure was horribly low... I faint 2 times trying to stand up and go to the bathroom... Finally my doctor ordered a unit of blood... and over night I been picking up my normal vitals... I haven't been able to walk at all, because we are waiting for the doctor approval, but I can go to the bathroom by myself =) because I haven't been walking, gas pain is the only thing I have... I have 6 surgery points, and my stomach is not upset as I thought it will be... this morning I had a swallowing test, where they made me drank a horrible taste solution to see if I don't have any licking... that's all I taste so far =/ overall I'm good... hoping to be walking again and finally relieve this gas pain.. I'll keep you posted =)

It does get better. I was sleeved on the 28th, and the first day was horrible. I stayed overnight from Tues to Wed. However, as soon as I was at my home, things were/are better. Tomorrow, I get 8oz of Protein to fit in to the daily routine of Clear Liquids.< /p>

my day was Tuesday. May 28 th and im just getting home. I had sholder and upper back pain from the air. then I had really bad nausea but I am finally home walking and trying to eat. Glad the painful part is over. looking forward to the new me!

I'm so sorry, but don't fret. I'm thinkin' the boys will be standing in line for your attention sooner than you realize!
