I feel you! I don't get injections I just take a B12 melt every morning and a chike coffee and it at least gets me through my work day! I have a very physical job so by 4pm I can barely walk to the train for my commute home!! I'm going to make myself walk tonight while my son is at swimming lessons at the y !!!

So.... I tried on a pair of jeans that wouldn't come even close to buttoning 3 weeks ago and they fit!!!

Thanks Glitter!!!

I just thought "I can't wait til my butt fits on the toilet seat".... Made me laugh so hard!!!

Hey everyone. I have par taken in a drink here and there. I used to drink whiskey and diet soda and had a pretty high tolerance to it. Not so much these days. While no soda for me. My dr is against it and not thrilled with the alcohol either so I met him halfway and had whiskey and Water. My tolerance is nothing so half a drink is all I can do.
I joined a gym today very excited about it. I have been pestering my dr to allow more than walking and light cardio and finally got it. First training session with trainer Tuesday.
So glad for this sight and all the suggestions and support there is from others going through this. Much success to all!

Good decision. My weigh in day is Fridays. Having only one weigh in day makes life easier. I still fall back into my scaleoholism from time to time. But it never helps. I have also been feeling days of total discouragement. But I know I did the right thing and am losing at a good pace.
I started working out with a trainer who has lots of experience with bariatric patients and is also a nutritionist. She has been really encouraging. My surgeon is actually a partner (with two other surgeons) in her new facility so my surgeon happened to stop by during my workout. It was actually kind of nice. I got to ask him a few questions that I forgot at my last appointment. So that worked out nicely.
Down to 194. It was a slow week but hopefully working with a trainer will help keep my weight loss consistent.

Yup. Saturdays. We can do this. My wii fit just told me how impressed it was that I I haven't missed a day in 4 weeks. It's going to be unimpressed next week. Hahah

Thank you.

Down 46 lbs since highest weight & 37.1 since surgery date. I've not been in the 220's for 4 or 5 years. YEAH Me!!

Hey everybody! I just wanted to give a quick 4 month check in since today is the big day! I'm down 72 lbs! In 4 months!!!! I'm so happy with my results and I just had my doctor's appointment a few days ago and they all seemed very pleased and kinda shocked with my numbers! I hadn't been to the doctor since my 1 month post op so I was excited to go! I was supposed to meet with the dietician at 2 and then my surgeon at 2:30, but I learned that apparently I don't get to see my doctor again until 18 months!! I think that's a little crazy but whatever. A few things: I'm horrible about taking my Vitamins (ugh, I know...), I've stopped Protein Shakes and probably need to still get one in a day, and my hair is coming out like crazy!! I knew I should expect it; but HOLY CRAP! Not good at all! Also, I don't measure my food (because I know I don't eat too much) but I decided to tonight just to see. I couldn't even eat 2 oz of pulled pork ... About one bite short of 2 oz. I still can't get over it! Oh, and I no longer enjoy going out to eat with people (unless it's my husband or mom because those two know about my surgery) .... That would be the only downside to this entire surgery, and yes it's because I chose not to tell people and I still am so so so glad I didn't! I watch how other people get talked about behind their backs for having WLS and I don't need to worry about that crap! (Good for you if you never care one bit about what people think about you!) ha! Anyway, heading to bed and getting ready for a big weekend of seeing my husband's family who haven't seen me since Christmas so it should be interesting!!! Happy Easter, everyone!

Reporting back- the wine went great...I didn't end up finishing the entire glass but pretty close. I like really dry red wine so I wasn't overloaded with sweetness, it went great with my petite fillet! Didn't feel anything more than a small buzz but I did have a pretty high tolerance pre surgery.

I find that I can eat more than I did with the band and more than my nutritionist thought I could. But my surgeon isn't worried so neither is my nut. I am very comfortable and so so happy. I can eat a reasonable amount and still lose weight and keep my sugars stable.

Thanks guys! ♡ I don't see it quite yet, except in my back side and face. But I feel like a million bucks.

So, I took a few pictures as today is officially 8 weeks out

I really thought I'd miss drinking while I ate. It really doesn't bother me. I don't get in as much liquid as I did Bc I'd guzzle throughout my meal and refill my drink at least once. But it doesn't bother me and I don't really miss it. It's just more of an inconvenience of sorts. Lol

I don't mind losing all of my boobs if it means I lose everywhere else too. I can always get new boobs. May have to save up, but I don't care. I'll just roll em up n put em in a peanut shell once I'm at goal.

Hahahahhahahaha. True. I would just like as little plastics as possible.

I'm 7 weeks out and rarely get in 64 ounces. I can drink normally now, but am never thirsty so I have to force it.

My dr office didn't demand low fat on my full liquid stage. I was able to blend any soup and strain it.

Eat a salad at home first and see how you do. It may make you sick or cause a little discomfort and nausea Bc of the way your body digests it.

You will always be able to find someone who cheated and was fine. That is not the point. Those who cheated and didn't heal properly have a hard time coming to the forums and posting about it. If she wants to go against her Drs orders, there is nothing you are going to be able to do about it. She is a grown up. She knows the risks.
BTW, I know lots of people who drink excessively and get in the car, drive home and are fine. They had no problems. Since I know a few people who did it, then it should be fine for everyone to do it, too. It's just too bad those who did have problems can't tell us their story.

Mine is a type-o! I was trying to find a name that wasn't already taken and found one, only to realize it wasn't taken because it's not even a word. Doh!
