168 today!!! I'm officially "overweight." woo hoo

Scale finally moved again. 171. Darn stall.

171.5 I'm really inching down to 169.5 That is my offical "overweight" weight. Can't wait.

173 woo hoo. 3.5 lbs until I'm out of the obese category.

176 2 months post op!!!

Now I found 178.5

I just hit 179.5. I'm so HAPPY. Doing the happy dance. I've now lost 30 lbs since surgery and 40 overall. Not to bask in the 170 glory for long. Here I come 160s, move over and make room.

188!!!!!! My stall is broken for now and I'm in the 180s. Woo hoo.

How are you doing? Haven't talked to you in quite a while. I'm sleeved now. Have been for 12 days

So today, 9 days post op, I am having a hard time mentally. I woke up hungry for the first time, and feeling blue cuz I miss food right now. I know it's only temporary, but it's hard. Lots of willpower. Anyone else go through this?

Today I'm a week post op. I've lost track of how much I've lost. I hit Onederland already. I started this at 219.2 lbs. Surgery day I was 207.5 Today I am 199.5. I can't believe. Course I don't feel so small right now. Still bloated. I walked 10 blocks today. But I had a meltdown yesterday. Cried all afternoon. Anyone else ever go through that? I'm so happy to be sleeved. I'm looking forward to the new me.

You seem to be doing great. Don't sweat the stall. You will get passed it.

OK so I'm sleeved. I did it. I had an amazing staff of doctors, nurses, aids, etc. It was yet again, another super experience with Kaiser. I had my surgery 8 am Wed the 5th and checked out on the 7th. I'm glad to be home, however I feel like my hubby and little daughter are talking too loud. I just want quiet. Probably cuz in the hospital there was a kid across the hall who was screaming practically the whole time. he had been shot twice. Anyway, I used the pain meds, but dec...

Anyone have a suggesions for a successful two weeks before surgery? I've been awake the last two nights thinking how I should prepare. Eating wise, water, vitamins, anything will help. january 5th is right around the corner. Oh and what did you wear in the hospital? PJ pants? Or are they too restrictive cuz of the tummy? I bought a gown and looking for slippers.

I have a question. Has anyone right before surgery felt like they needed to eat their last favorite meal? Or started to feel sad because they new they would be able to eat it again? Or will I get to eat it again? I'm so confused. You can tell I am going in and out of being excited, confused, etc. But looking in the mirror yesterday, I knew this is a great decision.

Yep, I was born and raised in Iowa Falls. Moved to Hawaii and now in California.

I'm so excited today. I got a letter with all my appointments laid out. i'm so excited to get this done.

Wow you are doing amazing. Keep up the great work.

Today I'm not so nervous. It's helping getting the feelings of anxiety out there and you guys replying. I've been researching like a mad woman too.

I got a date. January 5th. I am so excited, nervous, scared, etc. Anyone else have feelings of not being ready or whatever. I'm so overwhelmed at the moment.

Hope your surgery went well. I'm sure you might be home mending by now. Lisa

Good Job Kelsey. You've lost 80 lbs and look great. I'm going to the orientation class tomorrow. How do you feel about your surgery. Lisa Garcia
