Well RNY friends, I told my husband about the surgery and to my surprise he is supportive, I almost fell out of the chair. He said baby I just want you to be happy and health being obese is not, I'm glad you are doing this. My nerves just got a little better.

Lol girl I have my grand kids today and they are eating everything I got my lil sf Jello and made it do what it do.

Heading home!!

Congrats I know ur doing the happy dance

That's wuz up.

So here's couple photos:
the first one was last May at my highest 352 lbs, and the second is today, 8 weeks out and 301 lbs. Didn't know people could notice the difference until I posted the new one on Facebook, and someone whom I haven't seen for years commented that I look great and should keep it up.

Welcome fmg I don't know the answer to the question, but I'm sure there's another med that they can give you in the place of your prednisone. Don't worry just do what your surgeon tells you, follow all the steps properly, and communicate with your coordinator he/she know what to do.

You will be just fine

Old_hippi_gal you have every right to feel the way you do, once you lose the weight are you going to be happy? yes. Once u see how ur life is changing you mood is going to change, is it going to be hard? most definitely your emotions are all over the place Hun. Lets just take it one day at a time. You will see the change I you, and in your weight and you're lab work, you just have relax and try not to pest yourself. I'm the same way my surgery is Monday and my emotions are all over the place. I'm just letting God take control of this. In His name we will be ok. We are here if you need us. God has been carrying you already.

Welcome Kathy pure right it is harder to lose the weight after 40, good luck on your journey.

I would have to say this the heart wants what the heart wants even though he's a little lazy and don't help out around the house you put up with it. Sit him down and explain to him what you need from him. If you don't work outside of the house, you have to work inside. Let him know you're not his mother.

I have always loved walking/jogging (when I was thinner). When In the hospital I was doing laps around the entire floor of the hospital. My dr. cleared me to do any exercise I wanted after 3 wks. It took me about 4 months to start jogging again. I first started out slow and increased my distance and intensity a little at a time. I always say find a exercise you like and it will not feel like you have to get up an exercise you will want to do it because you enjoy it. Plus you will feel more energized, I know I do !!!

To the ladies that had surgery yesterday glad to here from and that your doing well

Wishing for a speedy recovery shonabear

I've never been under a size 16, I've dealt with my weight basically all my entire life, I've always been the biggest one in my family. I would try all types of diets, including seeing a physician, I would lose 10 to 20 pounds and gain that, that I took off plus 20 more. Lets cut to two years earlier, I was temping at the university of Miami as a medical assistant back in June 2010, then I was contacted by a physician that I knew and respected and trusted, we use to work together. This doctor was getting ready to open her own practice and ask me would I work for her. Cut forward I was going to be her office manager. That did not happen I worked for her for six months and then terminated. I was hurt I started eating then I couldn't find work. I search for a year no work. Now 2012 signed up with the agency worked for 3 months, April 29, receive a call get To the hospital Shon clasped ( my daughter) got to the hospital she is on life support, she coded 4 x's i was right there i never left her side she died the next day my world up side down now, April 30, a day before her birthday. I craved sugar I ate anything sweet, I had just lost my oldest and only daughter. food became a way of comfort. I went into depression state I didn't want to talk to anyone, I was MAD. Mad at everyone and mostly mad at God. I felt like he didn't care about me anymore he took my child, my baby. I gained a long of weight and didn't care, my husband started to drink more, when I say in was tension in the house it was tension. I'm better now I ask God to forgive me for being angry with him. Know I've got work do. I'm 285 ponds for the last two years its been one thing after another. It has been hell. Now it's time to work on me. Sorry I was so long wined.

I know you all have been there but I am so happy I could cry. Cry of happiness and relief that I no longer have to wait!! And since I don't have to do anymore weigh ins and I don't have to go tomorrow now I ATE DINNER!! LOL

Yes I did see that but she held it all together so proud of that anchor woman. She said what she had to with class. Worm I hope you hear something soon I'm rooting for you. I get major anxiety at work when I do intakes with strangers going to malls movies dinner anything I am always thinking someone is laughing at me or watching me giggle by. It's hard I hope this ends . So this surgery is going to be my tool and ill be damned if I fail . I have hope and faith on my side to help.

That is awesome berniec keep up the good work

Watch out there now lol

I was concern I didn't see a post from you, glad ur well now u start ur new life

That's great everyone is different, I just want you to succeed in this journey, remember we got u. Lol I love grits hope I can eat them when out of the purée zone.
