I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus is the Divine Bariatric Physician. He will never leave us or forsake us. I start my preop diet tomorrow.

I am 15 days post-op. I used to take Dicloenec. The pain in my knees is keeping me from walking much or doing much. Tylenol does not do much. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I am going to make an appointment with an orthopedic. I want to enjoy this time of recovery, and instead I am discouraged. I'd appreciate your ideas.

Love this post!
I won't miss not fitting the seat belt in a friend's car.
I won't miss worrying if someone's outdoor plastic chairs will fit my butt, and when I decide to sit on them, I won't miss standing up and having the chair stick to my butt.
I won't miss being uncomfortable in theater seats.

I am almost at the 50 pound mark. Can't weight, I mean wait- LOL. I was trying to figure out how to get clothing without spending much money. It won't be long before my clothing will be way too big as well. A friend gave me 6 bags of clothing. She is a bit smaller and a shopaholic. I feel like a kid in a candy store with a golden ticket! I am so happy for you Thanks for sharing your joy!

"Comparison is the thief of joy"
Too often we compare our weight to others, that should be avoided. Everyone is different, we all lose at a different pace and have different lifestyles. We should Celebrate our losses and try to enjoy this journey.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will--Vince Lombardi
I LOVE his quotes!

I like the one below. I recently read it in an essay concerning loss (Sheryl Sandberg's):
"Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of option B."

Your opinion of me is none of my business.

I'm not LOSING weight, I'm getting RID of it. I have no intentions of finding it again

DISCIPLINE- the difference between what you want and what you want right now.
I think of that often when making food choices or when I have head hunger.

Do you have a quote that has encouraged you on the journey? Please share it. We can all use a little encouragement along the way.

Hello fellow prayer warriors I am currently awaiting insurance approval for my upcoming surgery. Please pray that we will get an answer soon and also pray for me to have peace and know that God is in control. I am trying to get the surgery done while my kids are on summer vacation but the longer this approval takes the less likely that will be. My name is Linda

down to 36 waist
Down from 309.5 to 251.

At 3 weeks, I was allowed soft/pureed foods. You didn't mention what you are allowed to eat, but if you just drank the Soup, minus the clams, I think it would work. You can use my "Frankensleeve approved food taste test" to see if you are ready for a new food.< /p>
1. Eat 1/2 teaspoon of the food
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Eat another 1/2 teaspoon of food.
4. Wait 5 minutes.
If Frankensleeve did not have a negative reaction after that, it was safe for me to eat. :-P
