Hello CT - Checking in from Branford. This bad weather has been a challenge! I'm lucky in that I can work from home on snow days, but do find it harder not to graze and wander into the kitchen when I'm not in the office. Also looks like with the snow coming, I won't make it to the gym tomorrow. But I have a plan! Bought some stretchy cords and a few weights and a yoga mat, so I have no excuses! I can do some planking, I can walk up and down the stairs, etc. Exercise has been the key to my body transformation. I haven't lost an extraordinary amount of weight, but I look very, very different and my size in clothing is going down much faster than the scale. Was in a size 22W pants on day of surgery, now just bought my first pair of size 12 petite! I think I got lucky with those pants, because my 14s still fit, but still - was so excited I burst into tears in the Dress Barn fitting room and had to call my mother!

I hope you all have a nice day -- sun is still shining here!

Ellen

Day 3 of my pre-op diet. I think the tide is finally turning. The last two days have been tough but the scale is responding already!

Hi guys, I am from Higganum. My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, March 31. Having my sleeve done at Yale by Dr Nadzam. I am getting really nervous. I hope I am making the right decision. Second thoughts are normal, right?

Hi - I had my surgery in August at Yale by Dr. Roberts. The hospital experience was really good. They took very good care of me. Spent two nights. In on Wed, out by Friday afternoon. Back at work (but from home - no driving) on Monday. Of course I do most of my work on a computer or on conf. calls -- couldn't have done a physical job for a few weeks.

Good luck. You'll be fine. Your profile doesn't say - are you a man or a women? Care to share your age? I'll be 57 in a few weeks, and I am doing well.

Hi Ellen, I am a 47 year old woman. I am so excited to get healthy this year! I have 2 kids 8 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. I started my family late due to infertility issues :). My daughter is really worried about my surgery, so I am taking her with me today for my pre-op appt with Dr. Nadzam. How is your weight loss going? Thanks for reaching out to me, I love knowing someone who went to Yale and had a good experience. My surgery is actually at the St Rae's campus, they told me that in the fall they are opening up a Bariatric unit there and no more surgeries will be at the Yale campus. Keep in touch!!

      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?
