Lol thanks Hun!!! :-)

:-) still some to go, but ive come so far!

Omg thank you!!! Haha it must be the lighting Cuz my skin is NOT happy with me recently lol

This is me after 5 months, still a long way to go, but a huge improvement!!

I was sleeved on June 24th and dropped 12 pounds in 12 days, and then the scale just STOPPED! I've been freakin out for the last ten days.... i knew stalls would happen I just didn't think they would happen so quickly! I'm trying to convince myself that it will move again. Praying I didn't remove most of my stomach just to lose 12 pounds.

I was sleeved 6/24....the first 12 pounds melted off, then the scale stopped and hasn't moved in about a week. Trying really hard not to freak out but it's not easy. I thought I was prepared for stalls, but I didn't think it would happen so soon ????

Hi ladies! I'm 28 and getting sleeved June 24th!! I can't wait!

Ohhhh my god, u look amazing!!!! I get sleeved in 30 days!!! Praying for results like that!!!!

Amazing!!! Everyone celebrates "onederland," (as they should!!) but let us not forget that each of us has different milestones and goals on their journey! Twoterville....lol I like it. Welcome to Twoterville! Can't wait to have my surgery and by then meet you in onederland. Until then, enjoy your stay in Twoterville

I know it's easier said as an outsider, but if that ends up being the case, good riddance to bad rubbish! That will give you an opportunity to meet someone who truly cares about you and your well being and wants you to be around and alive and healthy for years and years to come! Because it sounds like your husband misses an indulgent frat brother to sit at the buffet with. A wife, husband, or life partner or whatever you have is so much more than just someone to have dinner with. If that's the deal breaker for him.....go ahead and let the door hit him in his dumb ass on the way out!

Dr Pompa or Dr Pomp? Because mines on the 24th in NYC with dr pomp! :-) could be two diff doctors, but thought I'd ask :-)

I LOVE following everyone's IG accounts! Surgery's just over a month away and I'm starting to really panic. I can't wait to start posting my own before and after pics, but I'm so afraid! Of the surgery, the new lifestyle, AND about sharing such personal pictures...I wonder if I feel as reluctant to put "fat pictures" up then as I am to post them now. I WISH the waiting was the hardest part, cause it sure is tough! Is it June 24th yet...?

Hey! I don't know why I didn't see this until now! I was doing so well for a few months making all these positive changes preop and I lost 20 lbs! And then I had a good two weeks of going out to eat and eating eeeeeverything. But some crazy miracle I only gained back about 4 pounds, but I know I'm a runaway train at this point and really need to get my crap together this coming month before surgery! How have u been doing since??

Well done stranger

I didn't have a PCP either so my gyn wrote my letter of necessity. I'm sure your OB can. But you should also find a PCP to see regularly after the surgery, just a thought. Not sleeved yet; waiting for 6/24!

I'm in!

Hi all :-) 28 years old from New Jersey. Scheduled for June 24....SO nervous, but so excited. Haven't posted anything on my Instagram yet but I intend to once it get started, and I've been following a bunch of really inspiring people. Feel free to add me @forkandmindy

Hey all, Scheduled for June 24th, all hoops jumped through etc, now just the waiting game. I was doing really well with preop lifestyle changes, no soda, three meals with a couple snacks, protein first, drinking all that good stuff. Now I am about 2 months away and all of the sudden feeling a little blah about it. I can't explain it-I was SUPER excited for the longest time!! The last couple weeks I've been slipping with not recording on myfitnesspal, but the actual eating has been okay. I'm hoping that it's just a normal part of this extended waiting game. Like I've read all there is to read (which obviously I haven't), or I've seen all the before and after pics I need to solidify this decision (although I always love seeing more!); maybe this blah feeling is just my brain's way of coping with having to wait 2 more months while being SO ready to just get started already!!! Anyone else feel that....at all?

Finally approved!!!! So excited :-) came home from work today to find the letter in the mail. I can't wait!!!

Thank you so much for sharing pics! Please keep em comin!! Hope the soreness goes away for you!!

Definitely keep us posted of what you're eating the first few days out! I'm so curious. I'm so excited for my surgery, it's just so far away! Hope you're feeling better!

Please keep the updates and pics coming!! I'm so far away from plastics, but VERY curious about scarring, etc! You look amazing! So glad you're feeling great, too!

I can get to freehold easily! That would be awesome

Thanks juju! I'm definitely gonna have to call, I know it takes time and to be patient, but three weeks already!

Loved seeing this thread. So many people from central jersey! I'm in Marlboro/Manalapan area, so those of you having surgery in holmdel are right nearby :-) would love the idea of a support group! I'm not scheduled until June 24th though because of work, but hearing about everyone's experiences makes the waiting and anticipation so much more bearable!
