  1. I felt the same way when I lost weight the first time around without surgery. I was shallow and thought I was better than any other woman out there at the time. And yes, I played guys like a fiddle. Over the years, my weight came back plus a hell of a lot more. That made me realize that when I had my surgery, I wouldn't do that. I guess that happens with age. I can't tell you to not enjoy yourself, because I did at the time.
  2. I didn't. But, this will be your new baby. The good news is, that you will have time to focus on your recovery instead of having to clean when you are still healing, which could take weeks. Good luck to you? That was supposed to be an exclamation point.
  3. Yes the stall is real. My first stall happened at 3 weeks as expected. Just stick with the plan. YOU GOT THIS!! Good luck.
  4. My goodness! Get well.
  5. I had my VSG 2/19/15. My first stall happened at three weeks as expected and it lasted two weeks. I hit my second stall in mid-April and it lasted a month! But, I stayed on plan and I literally dropped six pounds overnight.
  6. Hi! I had my sleeve done February 19th.My first month, I lost 26 lbs. Good luck to you!
  7. I took off a week and a half. My boss knew I couldn't do any heavy lifting and that made it a lot easier.
  8. My surgery was 2/19/15.DOS 253 CW 229. I am loving the sleeve! Recovery was better than expected.
  9. Wonderful news! Just remember to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.
  10. Yes, I had my surgery on the 19th. Best decision I've made in years.
  11. Congratulations!!! Welcome to the bench you loser you.
  12. I don't know if I'm the exception, but, I was sleeved on the 19th and I feel better everyday. I am getting my fluids in and I started walking for 30 minutes today. I still have a little pain from my incision but I am feeling better. The first two days home were rough, but when I woke up this morning, I didn't have to squirm to get out of bed. I guess that was a NSV! Good luck to everyone.
  13. I feel the same way. I was sleeved four days ago. But, I know that as long as I'm following the plan something has to come odf. My first appointment after surgery is next week, so if lose anything it will ease my mind.
  14. My date is 2/19. I'm nervous and excited. Seven days to go!
  15. That's some good advice. I never looked at it that way. I'm with you on that. I'm getting sleeved on the 19th. I'm thinking of it as a birthday now. Thank you!
