I was suffering. I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean. I could not really do to much of anything. I was in pain all the time and I was afraid to sleep because of my sleep apnea. After 8-9 years of research and many sad attempts at dieting, I said that's enough. I wanted a life I could actually live. For my daughter and myself I went for it and there is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful. Is it easy? Heck no. But I have made some amazing life changes that saved my life! Oh how I wish I had done it sooner. My story really isn't very different from anybody else's here but that's what makes it extra cool I'm part of the losing team and I love it

Mine is April 26!! Can't wait!

I'm scared of failing, but after reading everyone's posts, it makes me think I can do this. We can do this. April 26 here we come!

Its almost been a year since my surgery and ive been at a stall for 4 month. Today i went on the scale and im 1lb away from 100lb loss. There are so many more goals to reach, but.... i can finally say that i can but Jr. size pants and A&F shirts haha. From 24 to 14 from 3XL to L [emoji38] my goal is another 40 lb or so, but this is a great start!

4/26 RNY excited!

So today marks three weeks post op for me! Whoohooo!!!! One thing that I can agree with from vet sleevers is that it does get easier. The incision pain is prettt nonexistent just a bit sore now. I haven't weighed myself for few days but my stats are
Pre-op last weigh in 235 and right now I'm almost 210 pds.
Ive started to incorporate weights and walking and will be back in the gym this week. I can drink more Water at once now and I don't have any complaints. The only issue I'm having is with Constipation. I took a stool softener and it took until the next day to work so I purchased sopositories (enema) and will try that tonight. This is literally the best thing that has happened to me besides the birth of my child!

Im not Nervous or scared this worries me a little bit. surgery is April 26. Good luck to all and May Gods gentle hands guide you to a great recovery.

I'm April 26th too!

I'll only be telling a couple of people that I'm doing WLS. All I'm telling work is I'm taking a vacation to San Francisco for a week. To explain the weird meals and weight loss. I'm doing something different my Dr prescribed to assist me in a healthier lifestyle. Truth +vague= sweet spot.

My RNY is scheduled for April 5th . YEA!!!!!

My RYN is the 26 th. April!

After my 6 months of nutritional​ eating and being weighted.I did lose some weight. All paper work in. Waiting and Waiting. Approved
Surgery April 26!(excited)
But I still have 5 more MUST appointments that need to done. But no clear liquid diet!
Until after! I guess I thought it then would be boot camp and endoscopy and surgery. Im not excited about all the travel. But I am excited about the wealth of knowledge I will walk away with. Happy Spring[emoji255] everyone!

I love Unjury chicken flavored Protein Powder. Order online. Important to check the temperature of your Water to have 140 or a little less. Too high and the powder lumps.

Lap-banded and love it!

Surgery was on Thursday! I'm back home (had to travel out of country) and doing well.
I managed to avoid the awful gas pains I've heard about and have been tolerating fluids well. I know it's early (only day 5), but so far I'm so pleased with how things went and the overall experience.
My post-op is clear fluids days 1-3, then full fluids days 4-17 before moving on to to purees, softs, then finally at day 40 normal food. My goal for the full fluids phase is 64 oz liquids and 40 gm Protein. I'm able to get in around 50 oz liquids and will be 24 gm protein today.
Looking forward to what the future holds!!
