April 19th will be 1 year since I had surgery! I have lost 120 lbs so far. I still have not met my first goal of 180 lbs, I currently weigh 217. I have only lost 3 lbs in the past 2 1/2 months! UGH. I have noticed my snacking picking back up and choosing more fried foods. This is so discouraging to me. I know BETTER! I just feel like a failure right now I even have not been working out. I have had alot of personal changes in my life during the same time frame this maybe impacting me more than I thought but I have to get it together. I want to be at my goal weight by July which I know can be down very easy, it's more about getting my motivation back. I'm thinking about getting a trainer with a boot camp style training to kick my butt back into gear. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know!!!!!!!

I'm certain it was a mind thing but the first 3-4 days after surgery I swear I smelled like chicken broth

September 19th is my 6 month anniversery!!! To Date I have lost 79 lbs!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I wore a 26/28 the day of surgery, today I can fit 20 pants and XL tops. I was in that size when I was 15! Having surgery is the best thing I could have done.

you are too funny! I know how that is [forgetting your vitamins]. I had to set my clock on my cell to remind me to eat every 3 hours and my pills. it seems to work for now LOL.
my insurance company says i have to have a bmi of 50.0 or higher to have the sleeve surgery and my first appt, my bmi was 50.0! so my doctor did not put me on a diet weight-loss plan yet. i go for my pre-op appt next week yippie!!!!!!!!!!! i will find out more then. i think i should be ready for surgery late aug/early sept [fingers crossed]. i've done all the pre-op requirements and testing so the only thing that will hold me up is my labs. i am deficient in vit-D, protein, and iron. so i am working on all of that
i lke that wii fit, that's what i do. i've been overweight since 8 so i don't remember being smaller. i remember being smaller than this but it was always overweight ya know! -
Hey hunny don't feel bad about visiting the site as much I've slowed down alot, just don't have much time. I'm off protein supplements so I get what i need from food now and I'm doing well with that. Honestly I am really bad about taking my vitamins, I know I have to take them to stay healthy but I can't seem to remember them some days. I have started to set an alarm on my phone to help me remember. Surgery for me was great the first 3 days I was like man this (ish) is not cool but by the 5th day I felt fine. Like most people on this site yes I would do it again in a heart beat. I have not hit the gym yet still just walking and doing my wii fit. I can tell that I need to tone up my arms have deflated and my skin is starting to hang. That doesn't bother me though I loved my body before. I had surgery to jump start healthy living. But I would like to be tighter and not so flappy (lol). Have you lost any weight pre-op? Do you have a date scheduled?

hey Stlvoy02! congrats on your surgery! i have so bad about visiting this site. I don't think i've been on here since i sent you that message! CONGRATS!!!!! I see you have already lost 55 LBS!!! that's great. how has it been for you? tell me everything. I am having some issues now with my protein, iron and vitamin D levels being too low...so low, my surgeon put me on a Rx iron pill, up'd my vitamin d and asked me to eat 115 grams of protein PER DAY. if these levels don't increase, i don't get surgery
so fill me in on you! I promise to try and be better about visiting this site.
