6 months - project: looking like a hot Spanish lady is coming along y'all. 75 lbs down

You guys, I couldn't even believe it.. It just made me emotional! https://vvvgastricsleeveafterlife.blogspot.com/b/post-preview?token=x9oL6kkBAAA.ZIYraod8RjdPZSoAGKHPLA.6m60CIT9o4dDYSsE60nLEA&postId=3974497035237936303&type=POST

My pleasure!

Hello beautiful people, I wanted to dedicate this message today, to those of you who are scheduled for surgery or working towards that.. I want to help with putting the "Surgery Day" more into perspective for you, based on my experience of course. I remember wanting to find a post of some sort, as detailed as mine is, to help me understand what would happen that day, more or less. You can find this post in my blog, under the following link: http://vvvgastricsleeveafterlife.blogspot.com/ it's called "Had the surgery!" I do hope that it helps you guys either calm any nerves, or understand what the day is like, etc. Love y'all XOXO VVV

Works great for me I am loving it!!

Dr. Schwack is just great. He was very attentive to me and my needs. He performed my sleeve successfully on 08/28/2014. He is such a sweetie, he would wave bye at me when he saw me waiting to be brought into the OR. So sweet! I recommend him 100 percent!

Sleeved 08/28 sorry I am out of it

I gotta say.... I am not doing so good. Feeling very regretful of this, and needing some words of encouragement, I hope it all gets better... VVV

My headaches start at around 6pm btw. Right after work, poor hubby, lucky coworkers!

I am doing terrible you guys, I am on to day 5 and I just cannot handle these headaches and this hunger. I feel so freaking awful... I am trying my best to just keep my eyes on the prize, but it's tough. I just wanna kill everyone!

Day one for me tomorrow... well today (it's past 12 in NY) I cannot stop crying with this anxiety, had a mini anxiety attack that triggered my asthma. I have my day planned out on my fitness pal... Now it's a matter of sticking to it.. Lord have mercy.....

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so exciting!!!

In my opinion, absolutely not. I myself will forever live to enhance the misery of my haters. Show 'em what you got gf

Complain on... let it out... We are all here for each other.. In my case, I was told that my liquid diet is set to be three weeks, as I am having two hernia repairs, and room is needed in there for all of this.. Not cool...

Four words: GO GET 'EM HONEY! You are gonna rock that surgery!!! Congrats

Thought of this one omw to work today, as I am mentally at the beach... Be able to go tanning at the tanning salon without the girls at the front looking at me like "why are you even here" Be able to wear a skirt without my knee rolls hanging out..

I agree with all of you, specially the cutting out air supply while bending over... This is one of my biggest challenges right now. I look forward to: - not have to wear darker makeup on my double chin to try and hide it - be comfortable in flats too!! My feet end up all marked up at the end of the day. - being able to pop out of my car, rather than wobble out - being able to put my hair in a ponytail without worrying about my neck rolls being exposed

Some fun while we wait for our turn? Why not!? Complete the sentence! What are you excited to finally be able to do or redo? :) XO VVV

You're looking incredible dear! Great job keeping Snacks out of the house. I need to do the same soon! The day before my liquid diet starts, I am throwing most of our pantry away. I apologized to my husband already lol! Looking beautiful, congrats!! VVV

You are amazing John. I am so happy to hear that you are coming along so well. I love it that you're finally able to sleep with your wife!!! You are going be to even more awesome when that new baby is born and you will once again realize how much this is all worth it. Your update is inspirational, and it reassures that what these doctors are doing for us is giving us a golden chance at what we could not have achieved otherwise. Congratulations John!!!! VVV

loving it!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and thank you for creating this site. It's amazing!!!
