      Congratulations. I haven't been on bariatricpal for awhile and signed on today to post my new weight. I will be 4 months out on Saturday and as of today I have lost 49.5 lbs. I am now in wonderland. I have moved out of Green Valley and now live in Las Vegas. Sorry I never got to meet you and hope you continue doing good. I am planning on keeping Dr. Welle as my bariatric doctor and will fly back early January for my 6 month checkup. Lisa

  2. NSV - I found out today that I can wear my size 16 jeans (with a slight muffin top) zipped and buttoned. I haven't worn this sizze since I was 16 (almost 12/13 years ago)

      Great job! Hope to see you at the support group at TMC Saturday 8/2/14. We are moving that day, but since I still can't lift anything over 20 lbs I really can't do anything to help. I'm not weighing until I see Dr. Welle on 8/6.

  5. I asked the waiter to just bring me a cup of ice, It was worth it, must do it again

      Congrats. I just got my sleeve yesterday. Just a little gas in my right shoulder and my incisions are sore. Trying to get all my water in today. So far I've only 20 oz, and 1/4 cup broth.

  7. NSV - Went to costco to get protien bars with the family, they decided we should eat at costco. I wanted the Pizza but instead got the berry Smoothie (and only got it filled halfway)

      Maybe nutritionally, but I would have ended up throwing away most of the salad and knew what I didn't drink of the smoothie (which was most of it) I could pass along to my family.

      WOW! You must be so excited. You have done wonderful and I can't wait until I get there.

      Thanks ladies, I am excited. My birthday is a week short of 2 months and I'm aiming to be in ONEderland on my birthday.

  9. I went shopping today, had to buy pjs in a smaller size. Mine were falling off of me.

    1. Pelicanlady

      Pelicanlady

      Wonderful. You are closing in on a month out and how are you feeling? Have you weighed yourself, or are you waiting until you to for a checkup? I can't wait until my pj's are falling off. Keep up the great work.

      Sorry I took so long to respond. We just sold our house and I have been so busy getting everything done. We close on Aug 4th so I probably won't be at the support group. We are hoping to move to Vegas and come back each time I have a checkup appt. It is going to be interesting having surgery July 9 and trying to pack up. I told my husband that he can stack stuff on the kitchen table and I can sit in one chair and put a box on another and pack stuff that way.

      I've weighed myself (partly at the PCP) and partly at home. It helped that my pj's were loose to begin with. It's okay I know how busy moving can be. Vegas is a wonderful place, I visited last year on my birthday. Sorry that I probably won't get to meet you but who knows maybe one day :) That's the way to pack.

      Hi

      Sorry I took so long to answer back. We were in Reno seeing our grandson graduate High School, then to Las Vegas buying our new house. We just got home this afternoon. I am really going to try to make that first meeting in August. We won't be moving to Las Vegas until the end of September or October. Depends on when the house is finished. Hope you are doing good. You must be about a month out from surgery. I have 16 days left. Tomorrow I go do my EKG, and I see the NUT on 6/30. This Friday I have a colonoscopy and they are doing an EGD at the same time. I am having the EGD to see if I have Celiac disease. Since I am having it Friday, Dr. Welle said I don't have to have another. They are going to fax the EGD to him. I see Dr. Welle on 6/7, then surgery 6/8. I can't wait. Even though they don't do a special diet before I plan on doing liquids for at least the week before. Have a good week. Lisa

  10. 20 lbs gone. DOUBLE what I was able to do with out my sleeve.

    1. Pelicanlady

      Pelicanlady

      Wonderful. That is amazing, 20 lbs in 2 weeks. How are you feeling? Can't wait until my surgery July 8th.

      I'm feeling pretty good right now. I get to go swimming today which I've been looking forward to. :) July is just around the corner. :)

      Have fun swimming. Sure is hot enough. Once I get cleared I look forward to swimming, or actually water walking. We have an indoor pool across the street from me, but I prefer being outside in the fresh air.
