Had surgery this am, hoped for bypass but couldn't be done. Got sleeve instead.

In 9 more hours I'll be on the table for Round 2. Let's hope this one's the charm!

I was so excited when I got on the scale this morning! 1. I lost 1.4lbs yesterday 2. I hit one of my goals and surpassed 125 lbs lost! Only 19 pounds from my ultimate goal!

Just realized I am no longer Morbidly Obese and not even Severely Obese - just plain ol' obese now (based on BMI anyway). Hmmm..... strange that actually sounds good?

Surgery has been approved after almost a year of visits and appointments! Scheduled for December 28th

Home from surgery. Just sipping and passing gas! Lol

I had an RNY and a gallbladder removal on 7/24/15 and I am REALLY struggling emotionally!!! My food is good for the most part (I do dump sometimes tho) and weight loss is good too but my main issue is severe loneliness. I have NO ONE that I can discuss anything with or anyone for that matter that understands the new changes in my life. I lost my best friend due to this surgery (my changes were too much for her) so she did not come to help me during my recovery as promised (she lives in another state). I talk to her rarely now but it is very difficult because I am still hurting deeply. I am divorced and my two adult children are not supportive either. They have never been much anyway because they are so selfish. They emotionally abused me by starting confrontations the same week I came home from the hospital. Since they have chosen to disrespect my healing process I only interact with them when necessary. I have always been a strong, private woman (the one who others reach out to) and pride myself for not being what I call "needy" but my sadness has become so severe that I now know that I need to reach out. I need interactive, consistant people who want to be friendly and share. I am looking to not only be supported but I am looking to be supportive as well. There are no good WLS support groups in my area so I am reaching out here, thanks for listening!

Have I mentioned how cool it is to cut your toenails 90#'s lighter?

My BMI has gone down from 39.6 to 27.5!! Officially just 'overweight'. I am spending more time on another site now but will pop back here every now and again :-)

I'm going away for a few days. I hope you all cope without me...

Am I the only one who goes to push the notification button but hits the logout button a good 3x a day?! Annoying!!!

Insomnia sucks.

If you are around week 4 and have not had constipation issues please please try and prevent the experience!!! Worst thing ever, I will take the surgery pain than that.

This is a huge day for me- I reached my goal weight of 155lbs !! Im so happy I could cry.

So weird to see the extreme version of a medical condition you have on Grey's Anatomy. I even called the dx before the interns.
