Thank you for your post! You look great!!!! I would never guess the before and after to be the same person. Congratulations and thank you again for your honesty. It gives me hope in knowing I could succeed in both loosing and keeping it off.

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone!

It's hard to get on the internet and post here but I wanted to say I appreciate the responses.

And yes, my Shapewear works miracles. I don't even like wearing lounging clothes around the house without my shapewear on, because my silhouette is so different with it off. It trims several inches off, kind of like an instant Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Thanks everyone! I hope that everyone sticks to the plans that work best for them. I would hate to encourage people to slack! Sometimes I regret that I didn't do a little more to have better results, but I still consider myself a success. By VSG statistics I'm a success - I've lost 80% of my excess weight.

Dr. Aceves/Gaby are pretty sure I'm going to slowly reach my goal some time in the next few months, which is very reassuring.

And yes, my Shapewear works miracles! I don't even like to wear lounging clothes around the house without shapewear because I look completely different.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and take care,

~Cheri

BAHAHA! Sorry, I had to laugh hysterically at that one. Those, my dear, are NOT my boobs. That is a Miraculous Push Up Bra from Victoria's Secret, and yes it was worth $60 because the darn thing works MIRACLES. My real boobs are sad, pitiful creatures counting down the months to plastic surgery!

Ohhh I feel ya. I posted the same profile pic as the one I have on here for my Facebook and I got a ton of suggestions that I had gotten implants. I was like OMG I wish. It is all smoke and mirrors. I have been threatening to go get a great push up bra from VS but for now I wear two pushup bra's and have those little chicken cutlet looking gel pads from Target stuffed in there ta boot!

Either way your weight loss is still awesome and you look amazing.

Don't know how I missed this one. You look really great and I LOVE your tattoosmile.gif

Also, might have been mentioned in a previous reply, but have you tried Lactaid tablets for your lactose intolerance? If you can't get them there, maybe someone could mail you some? They don't work for everyone, but you might give them a try if you haven't already.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
