Oh my gosh yes! I'm freezing all the time! I have two comforters on my bed and I have had to sleep with a hoodie on. I JUST got some new pajamas; thermal tops and flannel bottoms and they are SO nice and warm. I still sleep with two comforters but I'm nice and warm now. I generally dress in layers and I find I don't normally take things off, I just keep putting on! I'll take the cold though because it's so amazing being a "normal," healthy size/weight! I don't know how to add my ticker on here but here is the data: HW: 291 SW: 258 GW: 165 CW: 162.7 BMI: 27.9

My surgery date is March 3rd for VSG. My pre-op is February 19th. I am so ready for this to happen. I'm so excited to have so many people having surgery at the same time as me!

I love what you wrote here. I am pre-surgery for the gastric sleeve and I have already started making the food changes I will need for after my surgery. I am trying my best for 100% compliance as well and asking myself those same questions: "is this pasta dish worth it, is that cookie worth it?" I have to be really strict with myself because it's too easy to say just one cookie and then that becomes two, three, well you know what I mean.

Congratulations, Mike! You look wonderful, happy, and on your way to better and better health. That's great that you are able to work out 6 days a week. How soon did you notice your energy increasing as well as your stamina? How soon were you able to work up to exercising 6 days a week? Again, congratulations , and I wish you continued success!
