Today: 210
Very depressed and feel I'm not moving fast enough!!
Where are you? Is this "normal"??

6 months out... My doctor says Never again! Although I've been tempted, that's a slippery slope I won't go down! I know that's where a lot of my weight came from and I don't want to gain!!

I can finally fit into a size 18 jeans, and real jeans, not the stretchy ones!!!! I got to pull out a pair of designer ones i had been saving forever. And I'm wearing them right now! I'm so excited. It makes me want to go shopping!! Yay.

I weigh only a couple of pounds more than on my wedding day and I'm sure those couple of pounds are now excess skin.
I also recently tried on my 16 yr old daughter's jeans and they fit!

I was busted wearing my 12 year old daughter's shirt today. Trust me the liquid diet is soooo worth the end result.

Okay so I was really upset about the scale on Monday. Well today I could do something I have not been able to do in years. I can wear my wedding ring. I have to remember the scale isn't everything

M sabotaging myself by stress and anxious eating!!!!! I just ate a whole Twix candy bar!!! Help!!!

My surgeon has said bread can be dangerous...be careful!

I had a whole list of instructions and surgeon's expectations for life after the sleeve, and one is absolutely no carbonation.......I had a soda the day I went to that initial informational session in April.......and haven't had one since......and I loved soda.....I'd drink diet or regular, whatever was available. HTH, good luck!

My date was also 11/20 and I am doing the EXACT same thing! I agree it is VERY frustrating, but I think it is pretty normal. Even though we had WLS, our bodies are still healing from MAJOR surgery!!! I have decided to cut myself a break until I follow up with the surgeon. I know I am doing exactly what I was told to, and although at this point I "feel" like I may never lose the weight!!!! The nurse in me says that this is a process and I must be patient!!! I hope it helps to know you are NOT alone!!!!

APPROVED!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I was contemplating sending a gerbil in with a small pick ax. Today is the opposite...
**heavy sigh** this is a crazy process!
Eye on the prize, eye on the prize, eye on the prize, must keep repeating!

Omg............ I'm 6 days out... And today had my first poop issue in public........ Thank god I prepared myself before leaving house..... Large overnight pad in my underwear................ I will never trust a fart again.............

Thank u everyone!

THOSE TERRIBLE ROTTEN BULLIES!! TRYING TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD ON AN OTHERWISE UNHAPPY AND DISAGREEABLE THREAD. THEY SHOULD BE HUNG BY THEIR PANTALOONS AND BEATEN ABOUT THE FACE AND NECK WITH STICKY TWIZZLERS.

Everyone picks their nose! It's what you do with the proceeds that ultimately defines who you are a person.

Day 11 is in the books.. All is great. Had my pre-op with my surgeon, i have lost 30 pounds in October!!! Getting excited for 11/4!

Surgery went great! No complications, he said I did wonderful. I'm in a little pain, but there's this neat little button they gave me to push as needed! Hehe! Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.

I called my insurance today and found out I was APPROVED !!! So excited December Surgery Here I Come ......

Ok so I laughed because I am JUST LIKE U!!!! I am defiantly having a hard time!!!! So glad there are others "like me!"

Survived day 7 and I will admit, I was hungry today. Pushed through, drank more Water.
I've lost 15 lbs now, so there's no way I'm messing this up!
My clothes are wayyyy looser. My rings are falling off, certain shoes are way to loose to wear. People are just starting to notice that I'm losing weight.
Guys...don't be nervous about this pre op diet. Embrace it. Enjoy the journey... This is what getting skinny feels like. Love it !
