Dear Teresa,

I hope you're doing well. God bless you! I want to loose the same amount of weight that you do, although I'm still waiting on a surgical consult to figure out the surgery date.

Take care,

Dani from NY (soon to be a bandster)

Teresa and Healthy4life, how did it all go? I would imagine you are a bit sore but you've got to keep us up to date. My wife is going in on the 28th and I need to know what to expect. And why is everyone hurting in their left shoulder? What if you lay on your left side with your right side up? *grin*

Well I am home everyone!! Other than the bad gas pains, I feel a little sore but good. I stayed 1 extra night in the hospital because I had some problems with liquids. Other than that, I feel good. I am really not hungry at all!!! I have to force myself to eat my Breakfast and drink my Protein Shakes. I am just glad to be home. I have lost 5 pounds since wednesday!! YEAH!!!!! Probably all the Water in my tummy.

I really do feel good though. Kinda sore but I got some yummy pineapple flavored liquid pain killers, so I am set for a few days.

Well I just wanted to check in and tell everyone I was okay! I will be back later!!

Thank you everyone for the posts and the nice words of incouragement!!:) :) :D :D

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the support. It's nice to know that there are alot of people out there going through the same thing that I am!

I am happy to say that I am feeling alot better today. I don't have any problems getting my Fluid in each day but I am not hungry at all. My fiance ordered pizza for himself last night and when I smelled it, I thought I was going to through up. I am very excited to start my new life. I cannot wait to buy new clothes and just notice my body changing.

I can feel myself getting full very easily and I have had no problems with drinking anything. I enjoy a nice cup of hot Decaf coffee at night before I go to bed(the best part of my day!!) Other than that, I really have to force myself to finish 1/4 cup of creamed Soup or cream of wheat, it really doesn't look appealing to me. I cannot wait until the pureed faze though. I absolutely love sweet potatoes and yams so I am way excited to get to eat them(if I'm hungry) I have made up a whole diet for myself which includes fresh fruits and vegetables and chicken. I am excited to start cooking instead of buying fast food!!!:ogre

Well I need to go back upstairs and in bed. I will keep you all posted here and there!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
