I just became a member to this group. I got my surgery date today, Feb 18 and have bounced back and forth from euphoric to terrified. I have tried so many things to lose weight, but this is the most radical. I really believe that this is my best chance to change my life and be healthy, but there have been a few moments today that I thought Oh my God, can I really do this? I start my pre surgery low calorie diet tomorrow and am trying to get myself in the right mind set for this. Does everyone swing back and forth like this? One minute I'm so ready and the next I am so apprehensive.

Update I'm fine. Was feeling dehydrated had to go to the E/R now enzymes in pancreas are elevated. Other than that current wt 212 from 226 dos..

Happy 1 month surgiversary! To all February 18thers! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Me too yayy!

I lost 14post op but haven't lost any in over 2weeks...have shrunk some!

I am down about 19 lbs. It's going very slow and now that I am on a (mostly) normal diet- I feel discouraged because I feel like I can eat more than most. I was able to eat a whole egg and 2pcs of turkey bacon. That seems like a lot, no?

Sleeved 2/19 down 18lbs. 35lbs total. I need to lose another 15lbs to actually start feeling it. I'm so happy to know I'm taking my life back and will soon be healthy again.

Well less then 3mos out and down 51.6lbs. I don't know if that's fast or slow, but I'm happy with the results. I still have about 70lbs to go but already feel like a new person! I've had about 3 stalls lasting for about 5days each but I make it thru. (I may be brave enough to post pics by the 3mos mark) How is everyone else doing?

So as of this morning I at 215 from 253, so down 38 lbs. I feel like its going slower than most and that frustrated me, but my skin isn't really saggy so I'm ok with it going slower I guess. Eating ok- sometimes I don't hit my protein or water goals.. But I feel great and would do this 1000000 times over. So happy.

Yesterday I hit my 6mo mark and have lost 76.8lbs! Feeling amazing. That's a 65% loss of my excess weight. I have 42 lbs to my personal goal.
