I found a school nurse to give them to me. In your Arm.

Thanks for the suggestion! ;) Spoke with my doc today and she said for me to take 10000mcg of my B12 daily & that would be the same as getting the shots once a month. So I will try that first. I'm only taking 50000mcg right now. Wish me luck!

Hi guys. August 10th was three month mark. So here I go with the stats:

When I decided to have surgery my weight was 289

Surgery day 275 down 14 lbs

end of June weight 253 that made 22 pounds in a few weeks

end of July weight was 244 down another 9 lbs

end of August weight 234 down another 10 lbs

September 10 weight was 229 that means I am down another 5 lbs.

Total down from surgery is 46 lbs and total weight loss is 60 lbs.

I am now 5 lbs from my half way goal. YEAH!

Way to Go!!! Keep up the good work....:-)

That is awesome you have lost 47 lbs . I completely agree I feel the same way some says and at times realize that unless you have gone through or are going through this journey you can not know what we go through with the "new me" I use the Internet for different shake ideas it really does make a difference since I can't seem to tolerate a lot of food but I'm working on it

Thanks I'm going to try that and good luck on your success. I'm so proud of us all

Congrats sister! You are doing awesome! When was your surgery date? Mine was June 24, 2013. I'm exactly 3 months out today & had my check up with my surgeon. Here are my stats.

My heaviest weight recoreded at his office was 287.5 lbs. My highest weight ever & was my "ohhhh to THE helllll no" moment was 301lbs!

Two weeks pre-op weight 282Lbs.

Day if surgery weight 273lbs.

Today I weighed in at 232.0lbs.

So, 51lbs. Since day of surgery.

Here's my pics at 287.5 in purple & todays weight 232 in black.

I've lost 38lbs of fat mass & 17lbs. of muscle mass the dietian said. I'm not really sure how they figure that one out?

That means 55lbs not 51lbs. From the "recorded" weight she wrote down. Anyone understand how they figure that out?!

I wish I could see a bigger difference in my head, but really thrilled to see the numbers going down.

Can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings us.

Continue on your success!

Congrats. ..we are almost identical. 6.25.13 surgery date 265 today 226.4

The ups and downs can drive you crazy but it's definitely worth it. I saw some parents at a fball game on Sat that were like you've lost weight and you look really good. What an awesome feeling soooo worth it...

My dr gives me a print out after I weigh and they gave me a handout that explained how all those #s are factored. It is like x*y/z= whatever. I can't find my handout, but maybe ask if they have that so you can see how those numbers are figured out. I can ask for one when I go for my 6 months (Jan) and put it on here if you don't get anything from your dr by then. :)

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
