I hope to report back tomorrow with a surgery date. I'm self pay and meeting my surgeon tomorrow. I can't wait to join many of you on the losers bench! I'm ready to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. I feel so confident and prepared thanks to this site. I can't thank all of you enough for your time and care!

I'm jennah I'm 27 from TN I has my weight loss surgery Jan 26th I'm doing great it was a good experience I've lost from 261 to 240 in the amount of time from having it I feel so much better I got it BC I wanted to lose weight I've not always been big or curvy I became diagnosed w hypothyroidism where your metabolism doesn't work and already I'm on a smaller dose of the meds for it I'm just so thankful for that and that I'm getting healthier

I am 6 weeks post op and I have lost 24lbs since surgery but I was working on my weight loss journey for 2 1/2 years solid before. I started in 2013 at 515lbs and began my surgeons program weighing in at 399lbs in May of 2015, And on December 9th on surgery day I weighed in at 297lbs. So far I am down 242lbs total in pre-op and post-op weight loss. This is a great post.  

You finally got the date!

Where do I follow you? ????

Congrats @@JessicaSmith I am for Feb.24,2016 and I feel the same way as you ???? where are you getting it done if you don't mind me asking? I am getting it in Harlingen Texas.

Hello I get sleeved February 24, 2016 ????

Thank you @@7TimesBlessed so much I have created a Chanel on YouTube to document my VSG journey if you'd like to subscribe and ride along ????

Omg tomorrow how exciting!!! Best of luck girl !! ????????????????

Anxious & Nervous!!!! ????

Update for today:
I woke up and the pain from the intubation tube in my throat from surgery has pretty much gone away. On a scale of 1 to10, I'd say the pain is 0.5 which is good! It's almost more like an annoying irritated throat than anything. So that took about 7 days to heal.
On another note, got on the scale at the same time I do each day and down to 271.6. I might hit the 260's tomorrow! I was 266 when I found out I was pregnant with my sweet little girl so that would be amazing if I could hit that goal during this week!!!!
Just a running log of my weigh-ins so far:
2/1 (day of surgery) - 283.6
2/2 at hospital, didn't weigh
2/3 home from hospital - 282.6 (big shock)
2/4 - 279.2
2/5 - 276.6
2/6 - 274.6
2/7 - 271.6
Just looking at it like this is shocking! Praying I keep doing what I need to do to keep being successful!
Plan for today:
*Drink 15g Protein drink for Breakfast
*Drink broth (4-6oz) for lunch
*Drink Premier Protein 30g for dinner
*Potentially work in a sf Jello cup again. It didn't go down too well last night so I'll try again.
*Also, I have this Syntrax nectar tasteless Protein powder that I might experiment with in my broth. Idk. I'll let you know how that goes!
I need to stay rested since I go back to work tomorrow. All the achiness in my legs and arms is gone, no gas pains at all (thanks to gasX strips and laying on my left side - i remembered that from my Csection). I have a doctors note that has me out till the 12th but I will only use it if necessary. As far as my employer knows, I asked for 5 days off and it was approved. That's all I wanted them to know. I feel like if I had gone the medical route then everyone would know my personal business which is not what I want. So hoping for a smooth day back at work mañana! I'm actually looking forward to it!
And how about something random - I'm craving lumpia!!!! I just wrote it on the running list of things to try when I make goal!

Congrats to you too ????????

Hello Everyone! I am new to this site but my surgery for the sleeve is tomorrow 2/8/2016. I look at is as my birthday and gift for a new life. I am extremely emotional ( nervous, scared, excited, etc.) and haven't slept in a week. All I've eaten all day is banana chips, chicken broth and Clear Liquids, not because I was given a special diet, I was just told to keep it light. My only concern is what is the level of pain I will endure? I don't ask people who have had the surgery about pain because everyone's tolerance is different. Well good luck to each and every one of you with an up-coming date. I'll keep you posted.
