I am doing pretty good... Seems like I am on a stall also, but during this stall I have noticed my clothes are still getting bigger sooo i will take it..... I would like to loose at least 20 more before my year mark. My doctor and I are still extremely please with my numbers.

Surgery was 5/15 SW 252 CW 202........ :) :) :)

I use the high Protein slimfast-chocolate. It has 2g of sugar, 20 grams of protein and tastes just like chocolate milk.

Where did you find the high protein slimfast? I tried the regular slimfast (cappacino flavored) it was TOO SWEET for me.

Surgery 5/15/14 sw 252 cw 219.

Is anyone else in this funk mood that they seem they can not get out of. I have no desire to do anything or go anywhere. I just want to feel normal. I am tired of liquids (not hungry just want something more that liquid) and tired of feeling out of place. I should be going back to work soon and really don't think I am mental ready. Is anyone else going thru this.

Starting to get anxious as my day is Friday. Not only about the surgery but also "leaving" my 2 year old for a couple of days while I'm in the hospital. The hospital is in a different city than where I'm from. I'm sure all will go well, but how do you explain to a 2 year old you can't pick them up. She will be very heart broken.

I understand how you are feeling. I will just like that one week ago. We have came up with "other ways" to get things done and for me not to pick her up. Yesterday was my first time after surgery going to pick her up from preschool. She ran up and was telling all her friends and teachers "look my mommy is better my mommy is better". This morning I woke her up just a few mins earlier than normal just so we could " cudle and snuggle:" in the recliner. (I made sure to put a pillow on my stomach just incase).

So, I can officially say I'm starting to loose. I lost 16 pounds just on the pre-op diet, but I gained 10 in the hospital from all the fluids. I've finally lost that 10 plus 1.....so am I done just 1 lb? or 17? Either way, I'm down so I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah.....I'm told it only gets better from here....also, today is my last day of full liquids, start Puree stage tomorrow. Never thought I'd be so excited about putting cottage cheese in my mouth.

Yay for you getting to go to puree. I am on liquid for atleast another week. congrats on the weightloss. Getting started in the right direction.

Hang in there May ladies (and gents)! My surgery was 4/9 and it wasn't a picnic. We are freaking our bodies out an they react in different ways. I have my energy back and start 'regular' food today. Even though i've been grumpy at times' date=', teary, frustrated and just plain tired, I would NOT change my mind about having this surgery. I am down 43 lbs and loving it! Hang in there and keep your eyes on your long range goals of a healthier life.[/quote']

Thank you.

Sorry I've been off the this site for a couple of days just not feeling my self yet :-(

I know exactly what you mean. I just don't feel like me. Just a little struggle trying to get back to normal day to day activities

Thanks! I really hope I can cope until then. When I first came home I could not even lay in my bed. So just sleeping in my own bed has been a HUGE improvements.

I just had surgery on 5/15/13 and I have always sleep on my stomach. When were you able to sleep back on your stomach? I feel like I will sleep better and that will aid in the healing process.

Hey guys. Just checking in to see how everyone was? Trying to get the Protein and all the fuilds in is tough. I am still trying to figure out I manage to be discharged weighing less than when I went in. Day of surgery I was 245 even with all the Fluid I was 243.2 when I was discharged. Anyways today is 5 days post op and I weight 237. YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY.

Thank you!! Prepping now!

praying for you

I'm here. Doing pretty well.

Glad to hear your surgery went successful! My surgery is Monday and I will also have to do a swallow test before I can have something to drink. I hope everything goes well in the morning.

Thanks. They said the test should be at 730. Can't wait I'm ready for some Water

Hey everyone. Surgery went well I was in a room by 11:30 this morning. Up walking by 3 however that made me sick so they just let me walk again at 10. In the morning they will do the swallow test. Then I can finally sip Water or eat ice chips

Praying for all my surgery buddies! Hope you are rest well.

Our day is tomorrow!!! See you all on the Losers bench

Just wanted to give an update. It was a pretty rough morning, however; I'm feeling a little better this evening. The surgeon said he had to fix a hernia during the operation. I've walked and its ice chips, sips of Water & pain meds every 2 hours. Thanks for all the prayers. I'm on the losers bench!!!!

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

Prayers and good luck wishes going your way. I will be just like you tomorrow. I need to pack. Putting it off til the last min. Maybe I will conquer that tonight.

I can't wait either.

I am doing the same thing this weekend. My surgery is this Thursday. I think I am more nervous about not being home for my kids than I am for my surgery.

Me too. My oldest is 10 and he stays off with my parents all the time. However my 2 1/2 yr old has maybe stayed with them 5 to 6 times tops. I know they will be fine and I am so thankful my parents are willing to make sure the kids stay on they schedules and activities.

Good luck surgery buddy. I am spending the weekend cleaning the house and making sure my kids things are taking care of ( I have never been away from them during the school week).
