Awesome job thanks for sharing because for some of us men we are more chicken than women getting surgery lol

But the more I read these positive stories I feel better. I hope I can be a positive influence myself someday.

Are you still trying to decide on what procedure ?

I definitely decided I'm going for the sleeve I already lost about 30lbs eating Protein and low carb and having a Protein shake everyday. I'm so determined to get my life back including buying another Harley lol

I'm in the NJ area and it's cold but hope to get some exercise in next. I wish you all the best I hope we can stay in touch.

No surgery date yet it looks like February if all goes well. Ok on living in NY so you know cold ;) I normally like to take off a month after Christmas and do the snow bird thing to FL but this surgery is more important. Can you still have coffee if any or is it Decaf only?

I have a Poland Spring cooler being delivered today I got to get more Water in I'm told. Have a great day

Hey y'all!!

Long time, no talk - training for a half marathon and work has been insane lately!

My two year surgiversary was November 20th, and I tried on my old Cotton Ball dress because it was hanging in my closet, lol. (Cotton Ball is a southern cotillion ball - traditional thing with debutantes, etc. - I was 17 when I did it).

Left is from my wedding <3 that dress is a size 28; the one on the right is a size 8 (I'm a 6 generally, but bridal does run small!)

HW: 330

No skin removal

Wow you look amazing. Like two totally different people. Congrats on all your hard work.

So as of March 2nd, (2 days past my 9 month surgeversary) I have reached my goal weight!!!!!! I am ECSTATIC! I never NEVER dreamed that it was possible to be this small! And even better, I feel incredible! This journey has been truly life changing! 9 months, and 111lbs lost! It doesn't even seem real!

High weight: 236

Starting weight: 223

Current weight: 125!!!

Started out at a size 16/18. Now (and this is still hard for me to believe) I am a size 3!!! I've never been a 3 in my life!

I think I owe you my life! The first time I saw your before and after photo (in the purple sweat shirt) I was considering throwing in the towel. This was costing too much money. My insurance covers something if I cover my $2500 deductible!

But when I saw your photo my husband walked past and said "Wow she looks amazing. You're going to be that small again too."

I have never been that small! Lol but my husband was trying to be supportive so when he told me to think of this as an investment. I knew I had to do it. February 6th 2017.., I can't wait!!

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
