Hi, everybody! I am still alive and at goal. My weak wrists have somewhat curtailed my strenuous exercise but I am still in reasonable shape for a guy pushing 66. Missing you guys.

1 week post op appointments tomorrow

6 days post op, finally have SOME energy, not much but been out of bed for most of the day, one day at a time i guess

Finally hit the 160's! Yay!

ate 8 tiny, teeny malt balls, they don't count right? OLL

Just got the news I am being DISCHARGED today..woohoo..

Surgery is TOMORROW! !!!!... My nerves are running wild. I've went grocery shopping..stocked up on all my protein, water, meds etc...I guess I'm READY..PLEASE PRAY FOR ME YALL!!!

so almost 2 weeks before surgery I get a freakin cold. Ugh..runny nose..sore throat..and a ear ache..and all I can take is Tylenol..ugh shoot me now

Since I am currently awaiting for my insurance approval I think I should start buying some protein supplements and shakes. What would you guys recommend? Looking for something high in protein and low in calories and sugar. Preferably sugar free. Any ideas??

Hey all, I had my surgery on 8/18/2014, I was released from the hospital 8/22/2014 due to BP issues. I have mixed feelings about this

Hanging out, loving my life, loving my new body and really living healthy! Life is so good!!!

I'm hungry, drained, and sleepy. How am I suppose to workout feeling like this while on this pre-op diet?

I'm in it to win it!!

Somebody pinch me! Officially normal BMI this morning. 24.77

3 month check up yesterday. Down a total of 67 lbs from heaviest weight. 46 from surgery date. All blood work good. So glad to have made the decision for wls.

Insurance requirements complete! Looking at an October surgery date!

My date is August 26, 2014!!!!! I have a 2 day pre op liquid diet. I have been doing low carb for the past 3 months. I have a question. My friends are giving me a big celebration BBQ on the 23rd, is it ok to have alcohol 3 days before surgery? I will do the 2 day pre op as directed on the 24th & 25th.

Well I went to meet with my dietitian today and it went pretty good. I am now officially done with all my requirements. On a bad note I was told by my surgeons office that they hadn't received my assessment from the psychological evaluation. Mind you that was done on 7/24/2014. So I had to call and wait for them to find my paperwork and say it had gotten misplaced but they will fax it over today. I sure hope they do so my surgeons office can fax over my paperwork to the insurance tomorrow (fingers crossed) I'm just starting to get impatient and just want my surgery date already..lol

1st Day Of Pre Op Shakes. So Far So Good. Wish Me Luck!
