I can't believe I get banded tomorrow! I have to call the hospital sometime after 2 to get the time for in the morning. Everyone I told about my decision up until Monday supported me. I told my pastor about my plans and he's 100% + against me doing it' date=' although he did say he would support me regardless of what I choose. I emailed him yesterday and told him I would go through with it but he didn't reply and when I seen him yesterday he said nothing about it ( not sure if he checked it or not) and I've been having these really strange dreams. I need some encouragement on amotivated serious note.[/quote']

Motivated no worries.. If people don't have weight/eating problems they just sometimes don't understand.. We here are all in this together and although I have only been on here 3 days, I have gotten so much love and support!!! It's gonna be ok!!

Motivated, everyone says a heating pad can help. Keep taking the gas x strips and try and walk (don't over do it with the walking) your still healing.

Hang in there girlie :)

Hi everyone.

Surgery Thursday. I had to stay one night as well, but didn't mind. They kept the pain meds coming and I had great care. I live alone and thought that best as am still a bit weak and lightheaded.

I feel pretty good. Incisions are pretty sore, and I am having quite a burning sensation in my stomach, sort of like bad indigestion. The Gas X strips do help quite a bit, so I recommend them. Otherwise feeling quite well. For those of you that have surgeries coming up, it isn't bad at all. And good luck to you all.

The new live starts now!!!

I was down 10 lbs on the liquid diet, and 15 from the beginning of the process. So I have a pretty good start on this. Someone even commented that it shows already. Wow...

I hope so. This is day 2 of my post open and I'm still hurting and feeling whiny. I can turn in my bed better now, although it still hurts and I've been using gas strips which aren't helping and drinking Water Gatorade and eating sugar free popsicle but I'm still in soon much pain. I wouldn't have went through with this if I knew I'd be feeling like this

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
