I was all cleared and had my surgery on Wednesday. Feeling ok. No cold came on after all.

This is why I'm not telling anyone about my surgery. I'm not ashamed. I know it's the right decision for me. I'm just not interested in other people's opinions about it.

OK I've finally decided to be brave and post a couple of photos, apologies they are pretty poor quality as I'm not overly fond of pictures but before was June last year, the latest one is yesterday (I was obviously concentrating on something else in that one ????)

In less than 24 hours it will finally be my turn to join the Loser's Bench! I'm starting to get scared! I got this! It's been a long time coming and it just seemed like I was going through the motions, now it's real! My life is about to change forever, yet I still can't wait! See y'all on the other side.

I thought we could start thread for progress pictures. Please upload and share your successes!
Pre-Op and Two Months Post-Op

I mostly tell the truth. I figure if they are going to talk about me, might as well have the facts in line Plus, I think it's good that the truth be known. The stigma behind our surgeries is because people don't know the facts (Jack). I tell them the percentage of those that lose and regain without the help... I tell them that I only have a small window of opportunity to lose and then I'll be just like any other person trying to maintain weight loss, only I'll have a tool that will allow me to have a much better chance at success... I blabber on and on Hahaha!
With acquaintances, I just tend to say thank you when they notice my weight loss. And they don't know me well enough to be asking me any other questions as far as I'm concerned!
I'm flabbergasted though at how many people have not said a word to me about my weight loss... like my snarky sister in law... 68 pounds and not one word out of her mouth - and she KNOWS about the surgery

Like many on here I am soooo nervous and excited. Any advice on getting my habits under control prior to surgery? Any suggestions on Protein shakes to buy now? Any Vitamins you love that I should try? Any advice in general?

First one was two summers ago and I was at 377. The second one was in January at 187. I'm down another 19 but don't have any more recent full body pics.

Staceyjae we are on the same date. Super excited.

I chose bypass cause with the amount of weight I had to lose- I wanted the double effect of malabsorption and restriction. A large part of why I did not want VSG was because of the large possibility of reflux. It was never an issue for me before and I didn't want to come out Of surgery with new issues. I've lost 137# so far, zero complications . I'm happy with my choice.

My date is for Nov 17 im looking forward...
