Okay.. I'm the cry baby of the bunch! Looking at your pics and seeing what I could look like with determination and support had me in tears! Thank you!

Surgery date 8/24/12 Friday. Home less than 24 hrs later on Saturday. Today is day 5 and I feel great considering I just had surgery. I've got 6 holes like a race track across my gut that seem to b healing just fine. I have pooed which I was really scared of since I had such a hard time with my kids then my hysterectomy. I have totally been following drs orders to the T. I have been drinking my protein, taking my BP, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid and anti depressant meds right on schedule. I think that is the worst for me cuz they taste like crap! But I'm 50 + 2 so I've done some damage. I am excited to start this 3rd act of my life. So many changes all the way around. The pic is of me ( in the middle) my oldest daughter on the right and my youngest on the left. When I started I weighed 211. Day of surgery weighed 200.5. Today I weigh 194. I am excited to b free of diabetes and high BP and live longer to dance at my granddaughters weddings! I would love to find others who have the same surgery date as me so we can trudge this road together. Best wishes for success to all! MrsB

Thanks. I have lost only 25 pounds in 5 weeks but am getting there lol

I started this process in January!
Got my date today
10.4.12!!
So excited.
See my other post "ready for this"

Just got word, I insurance approved!!!

I am in the beginning stages, literally like I am just telling my dr I want to have the surgery. I have contacted my insurance and found out all the requirements. I also have contacted the Emory Bariatric center here in Atl and thus far I just need to have my medical clearance letter faxed to them. I have been procrastinating bc Im so scared, however reading the post on this forum and seeing all the support you guys show one another it definitely has me excited. I have the support of my mom who has lapband a few years ago and looks great and has maintained her weight loss. So I finally decided to register and join in conversation as I start my journey instead of looking from the sidelines.

Welcome!!! I am new here too. I still have a couple of months to go before getting a surgery date but its good to have a support group and a place to vent before and after the process

In the first 6 months I lost 100lbs. A total of 139lbs. in 8 months

I'm so glad that there are so many supportive people on here ! I feel more prepared than ever , mentally, but I still need to get things for surgery .
What are some already made Protein shakes that are quick and easy to find w/o having to order off line ?
What about Vitamins ? B-12 ? Will liquid Centrum do the trick ?
Ever tried protein Popsicles ?? Eww maybe ? Lol idkkkkk....
What about Medicine for monthly cycle ??
What are things I will need for the overnight stay?
Sooo many questions

If you haven't done so already, now is a good time to sample some Protein shakes and see what you like. Myoplex, Muscle Milk, Synthrax and Pure Protein (my favorite) are all popular. Most of the shake manufacturers also make powders in their most popular flavors - powder is about half the cost of the ready-to-drink shakes.
You can also see my high protein food list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AquBbFV701VcdGZFc2p2Q29QTXIxc0tVU1lxMklBOHc#gid=0 . Special thanks to Dallas for posting it on the Net. Good ideas on there once you're back on regular foods.

I'm most definitely getting a tramp stamp......have always wanted one but was never "small" enough to feel comfortable to get it done!

I'm going to get a Phoenix, They symbolize rebirth.

I got a tattoo on the inside of my arm : it's a Heart with the letters TYJ = Trust Your Journey

Just thought I would share a happy moment......last week I took a leap and ordered a bra online from Victoria Secret. It fits perfect! Never in my entire life have I ever bought "pretty" bras " at the Victoria Secret! It was always Lane Bryant!!! Yay! Three months post op and I'm doing my happy dance!!!!

keep your head up! Just think you just lost a couple hundred pounds of poop!

I'm sorry to hear that!! U prolly don't wanna hear this but try and think of it as a fresh start all around love life and regular life!!
