Hello VST people. I'm so happy you're here and have been here for me. Now that I'm surgified and weight is starting to come off I thought it might be my turn to repay the favor so I want to share what my experience has been. I've lost another 7 lbs this week and a total 30 lbs since my initial weigh in. I have thrown up twice (both times because I drank some apple juice so no more of that). I've discovered that Vitamin Water zero squeezed is my BEST friend. I'm having trouble getting in my Protein but I'm getting in the water. My dietician cleared me to eat purees so I've tried scrambled eggs (could eat about 1/2 of one) cottage cheese (about an ounce). I think today I'm going to try some maltomeal. :) All in all it's been a very positive experience. I've had a few moments of "why did I do this?" and "what have I done". but they passed and I think that's normal. My husband has been pretty supportive and so has my family but they don't really understand what I'm going through. SO ! If you've got questions and I can answer, ASK AWAY! I want to be as supportive as the wonderful people here were for me. :)

Right now I'm so afraid of regret. That is the only thing that is gnawing at me. I'm still proceeding forward. Should hear from the ins. co. the end of this week. Dr. has me penciled in for June 14. But I keep thinking I'm going to regret it even though I read from almost everyone that they have bouts of regret but then once they've healed, they say they wish they had done it sooner. This is something that I will have to come to grips with. No one can help me with this but I just thought I'd put it out there! Thanks!

I wanted to run away when in the hospital getting checked in. I was ok as long as I was busy but having 2 nd doubts. Going through with the surgery was a hard decision to make, but it was the best decision I have ever made and I wish I could of had this procedure year ago. ;) I love my skinniness! ;)

I also was worried and felt the same, but feel so much better having lost some weight, I should have done it sooner. Yes, you miss your old "food friends", but you make new friends and you learn that those "food friends" were no friends at all. Just a ball and chain holding you back from a healthy life. We will be here for you. Keep us posted.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
