I'm actually up 1 pound this week. Too many holiday potluck a! ????166.2

Thanks everyone. First night was rough but each day is better.

Most of you know I was sleeved Dec 2014. Now my 19 year old is having surgery tomorrow. It's a completely different form of panic!! She's having rny instead of sleeve but it looks like recovery time is about the same. I'll keep you guys posted. Pray for us please!!

Please keep us posted. Praying for your son and your family. It sounds like things are moving forward quickly and he's in good hands. May God bless you!

165.1!!!! ????

166.7 this week

This is against the law and obviously someone made a mistake. As a doctor in healthcare administration, this is a clear violation of your medical privacy. Contact the provider immediately.

This has nothing to do with "luck". Although I can't eat much, depending on what I eat, I can easily rack up the calories! And to reiterate, by no means am I a saint, but I am cognizant of my intake. Motivation is what you make it and I don't blame you one bit!

Today's weight: 167

10 months out and realized I've never posted pics of my progress. SW: 232 CW: 169

Didn't see my name added. Starting weight 169 and goal is 162. I'm a pretty slow loser.

It gets better. I was scared to even drink for a while, but I gained confidence as I tried different things. Good luck!

Surprised you're not on Vitamins. I thought that was a requirement. I'd call the surgeon and check. I also had to have that mid-afternoon nap!! Best thing ever post op! ????????

Cool. Understood. There are three different blood pressure meds. I'm hopeful for cutting them back or out altogether. As far as returning to work.....they are gonna be like, "What's Up?....How's it going?......Never mind that....you aren't going to believe what's been going on here......better get your ass busy". It'll be like I never left....only it'll be piled up. I'm looking forward to it, bigtime. I totally agree. I decided to "cut back" on my Bp meds after my readings were consistently low after I lost weight. However, it shot up out of nowhere. Give it some time, watch it, and let the doc step down the dose. Worked a lot better. I still get days where I just get wiped out at work and others I'm fine. For the first few months, it was very common to need a prolonged break to get my second wind. Good luck!

Good luck Ellie! Keep us posted when you feel up to it!

I'm in! Current weight 169. Since I'm a notoriously slow looser, I'll aim for 162!

. I love that idea! If I can't make it on the 7th, I'll catch the next meeting. Pretty sure the kidos have soccer. I'll look for the FB page.

Beautiful!!

How did I miss this thread?! I actually started today! Did pretty good. Protein shakes, water, and tomato bisque soup. Wasn't as hard as I'd expected. ????

Wow! I had the same experience! Went on a girl's trip and now I'm paying for it! How far out are you? I'm 10 months out.

I'm in the Dallas area and would love to meet as well. Count me in! Let me know when you all plan something!

I sincerely don't think most people have intentions on bashing people. However, I do think people can be put off by language and word choice. Of course one can sympathize with dating men that are obviously shallow and disengaged. However, the message can get lost in the description. Mesmerizing and model are very not "normal" descriptions although they may be accurate. It definitely lends itself to misinterpretation. Especially when you're wanting the men to look past your physical appearance, you must first be willing to do the same. We've all lost, we're all adjusting, that should be the main focus. ????????

You're hilarious!!! I absolutely love all your posts! My advice is to ask, ask, ask!! Why not? We paid a fortune?! Lol
