I can finally take a chill pill and start getting things in order before my surgery on April 9, 2013, exactly a week after my 39th bday. I guess this will be the best bday gift to myself :rolleyes:. Haven't quite hit me yet, maybe as I get closer to the 9th I'll start freaking out. This online support has been my lifesaver at times and I'm thankful for that. I have read about the good, the bad, and of course the uggglllyyyy! And as we all know each individual is different, however I do look forward to major changes coming my way. I'm not expecting things to change over night, but as long as this dreadful wt comes off I'm good with that. Its not going to be easy, but I'm ready to tackle this head on. It wasn't easy losing 35lbs on my own to get my surgery date, so I certainly don't expect things to be any easier after surgery. The best thing I can take away from this experience so far is that for the first time since I was 17yrs old I can proudly say "I DID NOT USE ANY DIET pills TO LOSE 35LBS". Thank you all for the inspiring stories that will always get me through my toughest days as I continue to push forward in my journey to a HEALTHIER and HAPPIER ME. Have a great day and God Bless!

I so agree the nervous part of the process will probably be the week before surgery. I have my surgery date for 4/19/13. I have to weigh in on 4/1/13 and take a post op course. I have met my weight requirement and will be so thankful to get my weight in complete. Good luck!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
