Wearing a dress to work/school today with no spanx or short under, I look and feel great!!
-
Kind of having a bit of a breakthrough right now! I just realized that for the first time in my adult life, I am in the "Overweight" category and not the "Obese/Morbidly Obese" column. Kind of want to cry! =D

I did it guys!! I hit Onederland on the last day of January and that was my goal. I was 199.4, and then this morning I was 197.4! I did it!!! O.O =D

201 today,,,2 lbs away from ONEderland!!! That was my goal for January, to fall solidly into Onederland. I think i'll be achieving that. I am so happy.
-
Just dropped from 275 to 210 today. Couldn't believe my scale this morning. I am so happy. I can't actually remember ever weighing this. Time to work on the belly fat!

Wearing the cutest outfit ever, that I never would have touched even 1 to 2 months ago. Feeling myself big time today thanks to my sleevie.
-
On my 3 month surgiversary this chick hit 50 lbs down. I am indrescribably happy and proud of where I've come from. Can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings. <3
-
I hit 229.4 today. I haven't been this weight since I was 18 maybe, so 9 years ago. If I could just kill this spare tire around my gut it would be a truly noticeable difference!
-
235.4, I love my sleeve. Roughly 40 lbs down and just over 2 months out!
-
Hit 249 today. I was maybe 20 the last time I weighed that. I'm am so happy with my progress. It has been slow but steady.
-
Officially 20 lbs down since my surgery on 7/24. I was expecting more, but I am really happy with how my body is changing and how my clothes look. 1 more month and then shopping!
-
My stall broke! I went from 260.6 to 259! Hooray!
-
Been in a stall for 7 days now. On the positive side I can finally see how my clothes are fitting a little bit better.
-
You are probably in "The Dreaded Week-3 Stall". It can last a couple of weeks and cause you to go into freak-out mode. Don't worry, you're not crazy, and it's unlikely that your surgeon screwed up, it's the first major "stall" and it's totally expected. Check out this link for the details of why it happens and I think you'll feel better. http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php And yes, you will lose inches even while the scale is not responding. Hang in there, the weight loss will continue on the other side.

I hit 260 lbs today, I haven't been that low in years. I'm so happy. I can actually see some of the weight off my body especially in my legs, boobs, and a small bit in the tummy area.
-
Day 2 post op and I feel better. I was being tortured yesterday so this is a big relief.
-
Today is the day! I am leaving for the hospital in 20 minutes!
-
3 days, 6 hours, and 54 minutes until my scheduled arrival time for Surgery. July 24th @ 2 pm.
-
Guess who just got their date?! This chick right here!! July 24th I lose a part of me (% of my stomach) that I'm confident I won't miss overly much and will result in my losing a bigger part of me that is a burden (my fat).

@Missbaisah: I'm going to start a post on my day of surgery, I saw someone else do it, and I will update it once a day for a minimum of 30 days. Congrats on getting your date!
@Ima Fox: I would love to see how your recovery goes compared to mine!
Thanks everyone!!
-
MistyAnn, Are you ready? Day 5 on the countdown. I'm trying to hold myself back from packing. I have almost everything I need to carry me thru the 1st few weeks post-op. I'm VERY EXCITED! I'll be looking for your 1st post on the 25th or 26th.I'm going to try to post too from Mexico. Good luck, Girl!!!!!
-
Had my scope yesterday, everything went fine even though my insides didn't feel quite right, I imagine they weren't too happy with a tube being shoved through them and being biopsied. Results on July 9, cross your fingers no more H. Pylori!
-
Went in yesterday for my pre-endo appt and according to the surg as long as the H pylori is gone we are good to submit the rest of the papers to UHC. I love my office, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. ONly sucky thing, they moved my endo to 6 AM, oy vey. At least I took the day off.
-
Just checked my patient portal, and apparently my surg has officially submitted my paperwork to the insurance even though I still have to do my endo and be cleared of the H. Pylori. That was unexpected but I am pleased. That says to me that I will get to pick my surg date on July 9th as long as my H Pylori is gone (and my insurance approves)!
-
My psych eval finally came in, whoop whoop. I got a call yesterday from my insurance (UHC) and they have put me in a bariatric program and I have been assigned a Nurse case manager who will call me in 2 weeks. So that was unexpected and frankly kind of cool. 1 week until my pre-endo appt! Keep on keepin' on.
-
My documentation of Morbid Obesity came in finally, I'm waiting to hear if I passed my psych eval, but honestly not worried. I have my endoscopy at the end of June and then on July 9th I should be able to get my surgery date!! This is going quickly i'm sure, but it feels like it is taking forever.

In February when I first seen my surgeon, I received all these things that needed to get done. I was quite over whelmed and I am in the medical profession. But as I made appointments, one after the other, it did go very quickly. All should go well for the both of us. Congrats on getting it all done.
-
-
Turned in my psych eval yesterday, as well as my PCP approval, and my oximetry machine. No sleep apnea, yay!! All that's left is my proof of fat for 2 years and my endo on June 26.

My new friend, I know we can do this. I promise you, when this is all over, when we reach or exceed our goals, we will never be big again. Well, maybe a big hit at the party. Or a big voice for those following in our foorsteps, but never big in size.I have fpught with weight issues my whole life. I was 12 yrs old, I was only 95 lbs and my mom put me on a chicken broth diet. My mom and sister were thin, I was not, I had stuff in all the right places, therefore I was fat. In that next year I shall we say went from AA - C and 20 lbs more. I was built like a brick shit house as they put it. However, I was still thought of as being fat. I tried all kinds of diets.Not successful of course. When I married @ 15 I had a son and I was 126 lbs after he was born. Once again, I was fat and my husband (ex) let me know it. I left his ass and went home, back to school and once again I was on a diet. When I married the man in my life I weighed 124. # children later I was 170, each year I put on 2-3 lbs. In 2007 I quit smoking and gained 30 lbs. My husband loves me for me and I mean ALL of me. He supports what I am doing. But I am doing this for me and no one else. Im sorry, didnt mean to give you this much information, but I just wanted to tell you why I will never be big again... Thanks for listening.

I am more than happy to listen! We all have a journey that got us to this point and everyones journey is important. I think that your goals are attainable with the tool and that it is wonderful that you have such a great support system at home!! If he loves all of you now, just wait and see what his reward will be when you get to where YOU want to be!
-
I believe he would love me if I were 600lbs. But it does make a huge difference with his support. You are right, we all have our journey both then and now. Im really liking my future journey. I am getting a bit impatient waiting for things to fall into place. Good luck on your journey. I will be here for you.
