Hey all! I have been sleeping on and off all day and feel like I tried to do way too many sit-ups, but things went so well!!! They told me I was a champ, so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

I am new here. My surgery was on March 13th. So far I'm down 20 lbs. Started walking today. Aside from a little dehydration the first week, I feel great.

I had surgery Aug 13th...my birthday is Oct 6th so I considered it my "start over" year. I can tell you that its the best gift I could have given myself. My weight is coming off, my energy is soaring and life is good! i had no complications and have adjusted to eating just about what I want (with in the program limits, havent tested outside that....and wont...I was additcted to food and am well aware that I could "relapse" if not careful)
Wouldn't trade that "gift" for anything!
I wish you all the best, may you have an easy recovery and use your "gift" wisely!! You will LOVE how you feel on your next birthday!!

It does def suck lol thankfully I quit smoking in 2001/2002, but only just quit pot when I started my journey. Tho the doctors were way harder on the smokers than the pot smokers lol

So I got my pulmonary clearance today. All that's left is my psych appt and final weigh in. 30 days. April here we come!!

Done with pre op. Now just a week and a half till sx!!

I gave up caffeine at the very beginning of my appts. 6 months ago. I was addicted and figured that if I gave it up right away, I would have an easier time later on. I drink crystal light now. Have had a few drinks of soda and found that I don't miss it. I also haven't had any alcohol in about 3 months. I was a pretty big drinker on weekends, so I thought it would be better if I cut that out as well.

The order of these posts made me laugh....right after how do I keep my toddler off me came 'we caged em'

Just got my book in the mail I ordered!! "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" been reading through it and its great so far. Over 140 low fat, high Protein recipes. Goes week by week after ur surgery. What a great choice I made in getting this book. I was having abit of anxiety about foods when I'm post surgery. This helps!

Good luck tomorrow Marina! Be thinking of you and wishing u a speedy recovery ill be at the same hospital as u tomorrow for my pre-op. Pls lemme know how ur feeling when up to it!

Hello everyone! I am overjoyed and elated because I was just approved by the insurance company on last Thursday. I know I will have my surgery in April and hopefully I will get my date tomorrow. I have had many happy moments in my life but this is a different kind of happiness. The kind of happiness that has me just smiling for no reason. I am so glad that I have found a place where I can share my weight loss experience with.

Good luck to all our end of the month Marchies. This is the last week and then we are all in the post op thread!! I wish you all nothing but a breezy recovery- dont snicker- many on the Losers bench had it pretty nice. I suffered a bit, but its all worth it. I pray for zero suffering:-) :-). There are going to be quite a few hotties in the very near future-male and female!!:-)

Sending soft hugs and warm wishes to everyone that surgery today! I pray they all went well
