Before 273 Surgery date July 23, 2013 After 205

I started my journey at 273lbs my surgery date was July 23,2013, I'm now 205lbs. I went from a size 16-18 to a 10. This has been a awesome experience. I have another 40lbs I want to lose. Good luck to everyone on your journeys!

I feel absolutely marvelous! I've been missing is action since surgery. I've been trying to adjust and get me new life in order. Surgery was July 23, since then I have been release from my surgeon to start working out. I have officially gotten rid of 24 pounds forever! I'm doing better with fluids as the days go by, but I have no problem taking my supplements . Hope everyone else is doing good.

God is so good to me! I have almost not pain other than the left side, my mouth is a little though. I don't feel hungry, which I'm very glad about. They have me walking every to hours which, has been easy to do. Tomorrow i get gave some clear drinks and also some jello. I'm ready to start seeing the pounds drop off!

My surgery is scheduled for 10am, but I have to be at the hospital at 8am.

U look great! How many pounds have you lost? I'm not looking forward to losing hair, but I'm sure with the weight loss, I won't give a crap. It is just hair it'll grow back.

Thank you both mitzie46 what time is your surgery? I'm sure I will become very involved with the forum after I'm on the losers bench!

I'm excited and nervous, I'm just ready to get it over with! The closer it gets seems like the days are longer!

I haven't had that issue but sometimes I feel like my husband is jealous. He asks for reassurance that I'm not gonna start being wild and leave him. He constantly telling me of others experience and how there relationships failed because their spouse had weight loss surgery. As far as your excess skin goes, your current size, race and age places a factor. There is no guarantee that you're gonna have a lot of excess skin. That's the number one thing people say to me. My surgeon has told me I will have very little if any excess skin. So that what I tell them. Unless they are a doctor or have to walk in my unhealthy shoes, I tell them to keep their comments to themselves.

My paperwork was submitted last Monday, and on Thursday it had been approved. Hope this helps, my surgeon isn't not having me do the preop diet.

My date is July 23! Good luck everyone .

Thank you everyone!

My surgery date is July 23!!

Thank you!
