WW didn’t work for me. It was too expensive for what I got.

I am also the 17th! I have all sorts of emotions going on right now. mostly good though!

I am set for Nov 2.

November 2nd for me too!

My surgery date is also November 7th. Was hoping for October but surgeon on vacation last 2 weeks in October. Finally feel like part of the group, and not just an observer.

Hey everyone,
I got the phone call yesterday that I was approved and I have my surgery date November 21st. I am excited and a little nervous because it is actually happening!

@MGCA: Glad to hear you are feeling better. Sending best wishes and positive vibes your way!

I think you are doing fabulous. I would suggest to try and think more positively of yourself. You ARE the same person. We are not our weight. Our weight changes as part of this life journey, but it doesn't define us. As you are becoming a better version of yourself, try to remember to love and respect your former self. After all, only you know the struggles that woman faced in her life and overcame.

If I may, you look FANTASTIC and a 65lb. loss is HUGE. Please listen to someone who is honest and certainly is not obligated! Keep up the great job!

Massive difference!!! You are doing good!!!!!!

No, it is a lot. You have lost an average of 6.5 lbs per week and 26 per month!! I'm not sure how much faster you think you should be losing, but I really think you are doing incredible. I see a big difference in your photos.
I don't think I have read anything where anyone says you should be losing X amount each week. I think what has been said is the averages lost are usually higher for those that start at a higher BMI. In my opinion you have exceeded the averges. Be proud and happy for your accomplishment and keep it up!!!
How do you know your co-workers aren't genuinely happy for you? Maybe they are. I think you need to start believing in yourself and know that you are worthy. Even if you never lose another pound you are a beautiful person. Believe it!!

You look amazing! I can't imagine what you went through with the complications & additional surgery, but praise the Lord you're recovered! What an inspiration & testimony Thank you for sharing!

I'm loving 1 scrambled egg with a tiny pat of butter, cotttage cheese, really good chicken broth for collagen, Protein Shake made with great quality whey Protein and coconut Water. Hummus didn't go down well for me. The BEST has been a slow cooked chicken puréed with a chunk of carrot and the juices - absolute heaven. If you have a slow cooker I can give you the recipe.

4 weeks out. Just FINISHED what I prepared (1/4C thinned out refried Beans, 1 medium poached egg, 1 teaspoon enchilada sauce, sprinkle of LF Mexican cheese blend...yum!) The only thing I've "finished" in a month other than Protein Drinks & feelin' fine.

Today is my birthday and my ONLY wish was to cross the double-century mark! Well.... Happy Birthday to me! I did it!
After a 3-4 week stall, I thought I would NEVER get here, but I was patient. I understand now it is a marathon and not a sprint.
I say to you all, those pre-op, recently post-op, or anyone who is struggling... as long as you stick to the program, it is worth it. The goals, they happen!
LOVE to you all!!!!

Wow! What tha hayull is a pain ball?

2 years post op gastric sleeve and Hair loss was one of the biggest drawbacks for me. I was so embarrassed of my thin hair, but I have lost 100 lbs so felt that was worth it. I have started using Monat products and love them so much and have seen such a difference in my hair and those around me that I decided to join Monat and become a distributor. If any of you guys have any questions regarding the products or you already know you want to try the products and do not know where to order you can email me at srogers3085@yahoo.com or visit my my website to order the products www.suzannerogersMONAT.mymonat.com. I would love to hear from you guys who have experienced hair loss after bariatric surgery. I know a big help has been supplements, Monat carries a supplement called S3, it helps to provide nutritional supplementation that we might be missing in our meals being only able to eat such small amounts. Anyways, I'm new to this blog and just thought I'd reach out!

Wow! You've got a LOT on your plate. Hang in there and try it one day/one meal at a time. I'd also purge my kitchen of all tasty yummies and clean out the fridge...I'd also eat on a very rigid schedules so I never got hungry.

Had the sleeve in April 2017 feeling great.. it was the best decision i made in my life!

I buy premier strawberry and cream. It's low in sugar and taste pretty good!

Congrats. That took much time and work. You look so healthy. Many cannot get as far as you. Be proud of what you have accomplished [emoji93]

I hit a milestone today I am super excited about!
I have finally lost 300 pounds! I have been stalled the past few months and finally lost those last 6 pounds to hit this milestone! I am so thankful to be making this journey.
It still feels like a dream to me. It's crazy how I went from having to be on oxygen 24/7 and hardly being able to cross a room without getting out of breath to being able to walk for 6 miles and still be ready to go out and do other things!
I am loving life right now and wanted to share my excitement at hitting this milestone with you!
 

Prayers! I will pray for you & u pray as well. God lead u down this path to become the best u - u can be. Feel ur nerves as excitement, every time nervous energy seeps in ur thoughts turn it around into a positive thought. Imagine living in ur new beautiful body.
