I have one! My teen daughter has been raiding my college for clothes from my "old days I'll never fit these again but I refuse to give them up" bins for a couple of years now. This weekend, she gave clothes to ME! She came home from college and gave me two pairs of jeans she doesn't like because I am down to a size 14!! And a few tops that fit me too. It's crazy. I wore trendy skinny jeans of hers (now mine) Friday and couldn't believe it was me!

I can tell we are nearly the end as the activity here has definitely slowed down! I'll be working on the Golden Key award for August over the weekend and going back to capture anyone whose date didn't get added!!
Hope everyone is doing well.

3 pounds down in 4 days. Loosing the numbers after the decimals. Lol. Slowly but healthy

I wonder if I will be smaller for Halloween ? Wal-Mart is already putting out their t-shirts . Some of them actually have cute sayings on them. Hmmmm I'm a 24-26 now, could I be a 20 in time? If not, maybe by Christmas? How Low can she Go? Stay tuned folks for the Update!👕👚🎽👖

Congrats! You’ve got this! You’ll be on the post op side before you know it 😉

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I think the reality just sunk in and freaked you out a little. Perfectly normal 😉

Thank you, thank you. You're doing FABULOUS! All we can do is keep trucking along. 55 lbs. down is so great for 9 weeks. Congrats to you too! Love that you're walking a lot. I did that every day until I hit 205 lbs. Walking works. Keep up the amazing work.


You’re welcome and thank you! And I wish I had dropped that in 9 weeks! I think they count it from the start of your journey. I honestly love walking. Makes me feel so good! Hoping to sign up to a gym some time soon!

They just called with my time, 6 am. This is really happening!

JUNE RNY BUDDIES!!!!???? How is everyone doing? Strolling through life and feeling like a pro already? I'm 9 weeks post-op and made it to ONEderland. I'm so ecstatic. The energy is great right now. Life feels good. I'm so thrilled that I decided to Celebrate and give away $100 this week. If interested, feel free to watch my video for more details. I'll draw the winner on September 1st.

I am home! And here is my account of how things went. First night, I felt pretty good. Day 2 was ROUGH. I was in so much pain! The nurses didn’t walk me around at all. The main nurse wouldn’t give me any pain meds. I felt awful, like my belly felt like I was going to explode and I asked myself why I had done this. I kept reminding myself why but I was miserable. Then there was a shift in nurses and the new nurse seen that the previous nurse had been denying me my required every 3 hour pain meds! So she made sure that I got them and made sure the nurse after her administered them to me as well. Everything looked good so I came home today. I’m thankful for my nurses who did listen and try to help me. Hope everyone else had a better experience than I did

I am so happy for you! Congrats! You look great!

I wasn't afraid for some reason. I trusted my surgeon totally. I know multiple people who he's preformed surgeries on, and they're all doing really well. I didn't even let anyone come to the hospital with me, cause I knew I'd be fine. I just told my mom that I would call/text her after to ease her worries, and I did lol! You'll be totally fine! The likelihood of anything happening during surgery is EXTREMELY low! You've got this!

Honestly, you’re being dramatic.
But, how you feel is how you feel. So, it’s valid. Maybe research statistics to reinforce that you fears are not based on reality? Stay active to keep your brain busy? Talk to your therapist?
I wish you the very best.

8 months post op. Hitting ONEderland is a dream come true. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive throughout this journey. This community has truly been one of the biggest drivers of positivity and my commitment to the process. On to the next goal!

Stunning!!! Congrats!

My latest nsv isn’t much but it means something to me. I can’t really see change in my body but my measurements are shrinking and clothes that used to fit tightly fit and are actually fitting looser 😊

OMG - It's the last week of August. A few more August surgeries to go. Good luck to you all!!!

Less than 10! 😉

Less than 10! 😉

Oh wow! So this happened to you too? Oh dear... not cool , sorry I had to deal with that. Are you happy with your progress since?


My progress is slower than I expected but I am happy with it. Before the weight even started coming off, I felt better. I was able to walk without aching or feeling tired. I felt lighter. Now 8 weeks (9 weeks this Thursday) the weight is coming off pretty good. I stick to my Protein and take walks and it honestly does wonders. I’ve also started having more broccoli or spinach with my meats (I’m already back on a full diet). Trust the process. I feel your pain, I was discouraged too but I promise it does come off. Keep fighting the good fight!

You’re only 4 days out. You’re still full of the fluids you have been on at the hospital. Give it time, it will come off

Welcome and congrats!

175 lbs down.
