At last! It's my turn to get sleeved.:thumbup: I feel like I've waited forever!

All the support & information I've gotten from this forum over the last month & a half or so has been invaluable and I want to thank you all so much! Hopefully I'll be back soon posting info about my post-op experiences, too!

I need to be at the hospital at 5:15a.m., surgery at 7:15. I stayed up all night because I wasn't tired (and more than a little nervous!) and now I'm sleepy. :biggrin2: Probably wasn't the best idea but I figure the next two days I'll get plenty of sleep! So I hope everyone had a good holiday season & hope to see ya'll again soon...on the other side! :smile1:

And good luck to angel for tomorrow! Knock 'em dead, girl! :biggrin0:

Hey there! Thanks for all the support. :) I'm at home! Feeling good, other than my incision sites are still obviously tender. My surgeon said everything went great - apparently my surgery only took 35 minutes! I was in a lot of pain right after I got out of recovery, but my nurses all took good care of me! I'm sipping, sipping, sipping and walking as much as I can. I was up running around the hospital last night as soon as they let me walk. :scared0: I can't believe I'm sleeved! It's still pretty surreal. I'm enjoying broth :drool5: but I'm also looking forward to full liquids in 3 days when I can have my shakes with milk instead of Water. Thanks again for all the well wishes! They really helped me out! :lol0:

      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
