Ic. I dont blame ya. I would do the same

Ugh I’m so jealous. Mines was submitted 11/29/17 and I still haven’t heard anything. Did you receive a letter on the 5th or the surgeons office called you?

About a week. Once I had their "Approved" letter in my hand I felt so much better.

I forgot to post last week.
OK, that's not entirely true. I was mad because I gained. I really wanted to hit that 150 but it's just not happening.
161 for last wednesday's weight in.

Date: 12/20
CW: 270.8

Only .2lb this week but I'm happy to be maintaining with all the Christmas baking I've been doing.

Date 12/20

226.5

Goal 220. I am happy with how things are progressing. I had been afraid my goal was out of reach but I am now starting to think I will get there.

As one that had a prolonged stay I feel your pain, but do know that it will get better! My supposed to be 3 day stay turned into almost a week thanks to my spleen springing a leak on day 3 and putting me into ICU for 2 days (and still a day and half in the hospital afterwards). I went through the same thing of thinking I made a big mistake. The first few weeks were tough...I won't lie. After that things got better and they will for you as well. I'm almost to my one year anniversary and feel that it was the best thing I ever did despite having the initial problems.

Hope you're doing better at this point!

Same day the dr sent in my file! It was amazing!

I started looking into it it in feb 2017 and had surgery in June 2017. Definitely was a good experience for me! I'm almost 6 months out and 51 lbs down. I was a low bmi compared to most and am very happy with my results so far!

I was a BMI of 38 at the time of surgery, I was a 41 when I went into the program and I was worried I wouldn't be approved as I had no co-morbidities but I was still accepted.
I will be 1 year post op on 12/30 and I've lost 113 pounds. I'm currently sitting at a BMI of 27 so almost in the normal range and about 15 pounds from goal. I'm currently bouncing up and down 3 pounds.

Beautiful inside and out!!! Your mom sounds amazing and I am so glad you had her support. Had it with my dad. I am 6.5. Months out and have lost 116 lbs So I know the joy of winning the war !

Today marks one year since I have been sleeved. It was quite the journey. ️

Went out to eat with my mother today as she was the only one who stuck by my side with this surgery, my only support. I couldn't love and thank her enough.
     

No- it's not. Obesity help is much worse

Great video! I have been stress eating the past couple of weeks because of family problems- watching your video woke me up! I ate about 10 Hershey cherry kisses last night and felt like crap. Thanks for your honest direct video. Today is our work Christmas celebration with a spread out all day to graze. So far I'm making better choices. Getting back on track before I put on an ounce!

The "pouch reset" is actually only a exercise in habit reform. You most likely did not stretch your sleeve. I say "most likely" because it is a very rare thing for a properly performed VSG to stretch. The esophageal sphincter or the pylorus will weaken long before the sleeve will stretch enough to cause tears that heal back with a larger volume over and over again. Or if someone had bypass, the opening created in the intestine could be stretched which would allow food to go through too quickly.
The pouch reset is a name given to reverting back to the post-op basics. Fluids for a short time, then soft foods, then dense Proteins. It is an exercise designed to train your mind to recognize the sensation of fullness.
So are you too far gone? No, of course not. The only question is how important is it to you to make the change that is necessary. Don't think about eating less crap, think of not eating that crap at all. There is no need for it. I will admit that I miss the convenience of fast food, but I do not miss anything else about it. I am actually quite proud of myself that I have not had a fast food sandwhich in almost 3 years.

This topic touched me so much and made me both angry and sad all in one...The issue touched home so much with the topic of addiction, that I decided to address it in one of my new videos. I honestly hope nothing I said in this video offends the original poster in any way, Im honestly trying to help by sharing my experiences and give some advice,My intent is not to scold you. Please if I can be of any assistance feel free to message me or contact me, we can get you back on track. PS I named it the "cheesburger fairy", for a joking spin on accountability...

12/6. 173.4

Yesterday I got a goal of -50 lbs down ! The last 10 pounds were so slow coming off because I let some bad habits creep back in. I've been back on track for the last week. Excited to see the next 25 come off. I have a goal in my head of 148- doc says I can get to 135, but I have my doubts. this is a recent pic same shirt as my before and during pic. 
Feeling great!
