Foxy thank you... in not sure... Letsdothis I was very sick in the beginning and I believe that had a lot to do with the weight loss. I'm averaging about 3 lbs a week. The doc says my metabolism has picked up...

My nicotine test was blood. Most everything that is tested is tested by blood. Blood is more accurate, urine is used mostly for glucose, ketones, and Protein. I'm 18 weeks post op and just now starting to tell when I'm getting full instead of all of a sudden feeling really sick because I ate too much. Oh what a difference one bite can make. I've lost 80 lbs and average about 3lbs a week. Keep up the good work girls. The loss will come. Next thing you know, you will be looking at that little red dress thinking "wow, I can really buy this now".

I'm going for mine on Oct 2nd with Dr. W in Norfolk. Does anyone know what the History & Physical with the nurse practitioner is? Anyone have any other tips of things to expect while at Norfolk General that they don't tell you in all of the classes?

... The nurse practitioner is great. Her name is Val. They hospital is awesome... Not pulling your leg. Everyone was so supportive and helpful. It is a dramatic experience like no other but well worth it. Be sure to walk like your life depends on it. Every chance you get walk. Do all you cab while in the hospital and all the say. I didn't do either and made excuses so when I came home I had a hard time adjusting. Good luck hun.

Everyone in Newport News who was/is your doctor?

My doctor was Dr. Salzberg at Riverside Weight Loss, in Hampton although the surgery was performed at the hospital in Newport news. I was sleeved on 8/24/12 and feeling great! The only complaint I can come up with is he keeps you on liquids too long!! I need food. :)

      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...

      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
