best news ever!! I know you’ve been waiting for this. Congrats!!

You go girl !

That is so great. I agree must be nuts looking in the mirror and wondering who the heck is looking back at you ???

You look absolutely amazing!! Do you mind sharing was size of clothes you started out at and where you are now?

It does get better. Drink all your protein shakes and rest. I took Tylenol for the headaches.

So true that the health risks we are facing are very scary. I was very nervous of being put under and I shared that with the Anesthesiologist. He had the nurse hold my hand and kept talking to me and he let me hold the facemask and I went to sleep very peacefully.Good luck ???

Way to go! Day one. It is tough but really try to stick to it. Pre op is so important. You want your liver as healthy as possible plus you will get a good start on your weight loss. Get lots of rest and keep focused on why you are doing this. Keep reading encouraging stories of success and check out pictures of before and after. You can do this!!! I am 2 months post op and down 33 lbs. Feels so good ?

What an encouragement you are. I honestly can’t imagine, way to go!

I wonder if you might be grazing with your food. Only allow 20 min to eat your meal. Your snack if necessary shouldn’t be less than 2 hrs. Allow 30 min after your meal to start on your fluids and sip sip. Remember your shake counts as fluid and milk as well. If you wait 4 hrs between meals (no longer) you can work on the fluids. Good luck ??

I think it’s very important to have your meal time last for 20 minutes and chew, chew chew. Allow 30 seconds between swallowing. You want to be very mindful to stop eating when your hunger is satisfied not when you feel full. It is my understanding from my dietician this is the goal. Your brain also needs to have time to register you are full.

You are an inspiration. We CAN do this people!!!

You gave me a giggle. Mine look like a couple of cucumbers!,,

Haha I will definitely have to work on pizza dough tossing

Thanks so much! Will definitely check that out.
