Where are my Flirty Thirties?

I'm 36 and live in Atlanta. My surgery is Aug. 31 -- in 13 days!

Is anybody else out there hoping to be done "cooking" (losing weight and getting tucked) in time for their 20th high school reunion? I'm just two years away from that, and I hope I'll be pretty close.

YES indeed!! HAHA too funny

31 here, class of 1999! Sleeve surgery set for August 27! I cannot wait! I was 7 months pregnant with my last child at our 15 year reunion so I wasn't looking hot at all, lol. Can't wait to look good and show off the New me!!!

How much weight you lose in the year?

I lost around 120 lbs in the year after my surgery. Right after my surgery I found out I had been growing a benign tumor in my spinal cord for years and I had a congenital brain malformation, so my weight loss kind of became secondary to other health issues. I've spend a lot of time in the hospital ( 4 surgeries since my WLS) and they mostly pumped me with fluids, and wouldn't let me eat. I'm happy with the amount I've lost, but now that I'm ( hopefully) finished with surgeries, I'm wanting to focus on a healthier diet and strength training exercises. Thankfully I found this site for ideas and support!

Yikes, Tiffers! Well, I'm glad that you are on the road to recovery. I wish you the best. This site is wonderful. I'm so glad that you joined us!

I'm 31 will be having surgery on Aug. 10.

I'm 36 & live in Northeast Mississippi. I'm scheduled to be sleeved Oct 23.

35 Class of '95 here! Reading all of these posts has taken me for a walk down memory lane. I'm not sure anyone mentioned IOU sweatshirts, or Zcavs? These may be a Chicago thing though, as my hubby says he never heard of either. I used a can of aqua net Daily to sport my daisy quaf. I cringe now thinking about the damage I was doing to my hair.....and French rolling the pants how unflattering but I did it everyday. I cherish the day boot cut became the norm. Lol everyone... FYI i have all my clearances out of the way and am pushing for 7/26 as my surgery date. I would love to get down to my 20's girl weight of 130. My 20 th reunion is approaching fast 2015. I must close with saying "time totally flys" I don't want to waste another minute 100 lbs overweight!!!!

30 here! I am cracking up reading all of the 90's flashbacks!

Thank you! These past 15 months have def. been a journey, but the LORD has a plan and I'm trusting in Him. :) in the grand scheme of life things could be much worse. Despite all my illness, I'm really happy with my weight loss. And on really bad days retail therapy is sometimes the best medicine. Lol.

Hi! I'm 31 class of 1998 and scheduled for surgery on the 25th. On my 2 week pre-op liquid diet now..... day 2 and my tummy keeps talking to me. lol.

Sleeved June 4th class of '97!

Will be sleeved 7/17..class of '92.

Glad to get this done and will so rock my 40's!!!

Sleeved June 27. Class of 92. Will be 38 this year. You guys have brought back soooo many memories. I remember the z-cavs, tight rolled jeans, multi layered socks and deck shoes. Swatch watches and coca-cola apparel. Too funny.
