I'm in although I haven't had surgery yet. I'm trying to lose for me now so that hopefully after surgery it's not so hard. I have been doing a Protein Shake for Breakfast for the past month & a half. I'm officially down 10.5 lbs since march 5. This week I lost 3.5 lbs, I'm at 286

Remember everyone, if you lose 1 pound, that's 4 sticks of butter gone. That's good. 1 pound a week is still 52 pounds in a year.

Sorry My itouch have been acting up lately...
My insurance have officially approve my surgery $20,000. My test for the heart (cardiology) came out excellent,my test for the stomach (endoscopy) excellent. All my blood work excellent. No cholesterol,no high blood pressure,no sugar. In fact I would be consider very healthly if not because I'm over weight.
More wonderful news. IDK how I did it but on Monday I was 199lbs therapist scale and today Wednesday I'm 197lbs. OMG!! I'm so happy so very happy... I just can't believe it. I'm dropping pounds like no tomorrow. I'm very happy extremely happy so very happy.. You can tell right? My surgeon is very happy I manage to lose weight on this diet. This is the best decision besides having kids that I done in my life.
Thankyou all for your support on my good times & bad times. Lots of love Maybelin

I everyone!
I been away from my RNY family, hope everyone is doing ok. Had a hectic 2wks, persuin some goals I had in mind abd etc. Anyways I just want to congratulate everyone on their decision of a healthy and better life. ~ STAY FOCUS ~
It seems crazy for me tomhe thought that I had surgery 7wks ago (04/02/2012) had lost 52lbs. Saw my MD yesterday he told me that I'm doing great, he also mentioned that he project me to get to 140lbs in a year or maybe sooner and that right there was a huge booster for me. I been very strict w/my life changing decision and I think is starting to pay off.
My starting wt was 265lbs, wt yesterday at MD office was 213lbs total lost 52lbs I cry when I saw that wt. I got very emotional, well I been emotional for days but anyways I just feel to share my upbeat update!!
Again determination is the key!! We can do it!!

Had surgery at 7:30a today. Was two and a half hours long and I am walking laps around the hospital floor!
Still alot of discomfort but can't wait to get home tomorrow afternoon!

LOL! No so sure about that blankmama but bless you for saying so!!

One week post op
Down 2 sizes I lots about 15lb already

Just turned 35 last week and have my date of June 5th!!! Best present in the world!!! I am a single mother of a beautiful 11 yr old!! Want to do this for her mostly but for me too, don't want to be "the fat mom"!!! I am 5'7.5" 309 lbs. at last app. Just started the low carb diet, Dr. did not required for me to do any diet before the surgery but I don't want any complications so doing everything I can for myself. I am unusually very calm not too nervous about the surgery!! I'm sure the weekend before I will be, I hope!!

So I weighed myself today since I didn't weigh in yesterday because I forgot!! I just knew not to do it but I was so hoping I'd loose this week! I think I did great considering I was out of town and not on my diet like I do at home I had no Protein for 3 days while I was out of town and when I got back aunt flow decided to rear her ugly face LOL!
Last week 05/11: 180.2
This week 05/18: 180.6

So he apologized to me last night. He told me not to read into what he said and to totally ignore it. He was hungry and pissed and spoke without using his brain to filter his mouth.
Last night we sat down and discussed finances and he explained what was going on in the world of finances this summer. He told me that if I want this surgery he understands and he's not telling me that I cannot get it done. He did ask me if I could put if off until after August, which is fine with me. I am willing to do that. I don't want to screw us financially, especially during the summer when the we all have time off. Next month my car license fee is due, I have 100$ just in doctor visits, not including the gas to get to them twice. Unfortunately my insurance dictates that I cannot go to the doctor for more than one in thing in a day. So that means that I cannot have a nutrition appointment the same day as a pre-op. I was planning on going down there for my psych eval but decided against it because I would have had to make 3 more trips down there.
My husband is a good man, he helps out a lot with laundry, dishes and the kids. He just gets burned out, like we all do. Some days he snaps, like we all do. He's supportive of my decision though he wishes I could do this without surgery, but so do I. I just needed to vent the other day. I was hurt and he knew it. He didn't say anything else cruel.
I love my husband and my kids, that's why I want this surgery. I want to be around for them. I want to feel healthier and I believe that comes with weightloss, not just a little weightloss but a lot of weightloss.
I'm sorry for everyone dealing with dificult situaltions. I know that we all have financial trouble and we all probably have to deal with unsupportive people. Thank you all for your support and kindness. I really enjoy this forum and the people on it.
