Hi Saskatoon ladies ,

I kind of lost touch since last week but life is busy.

I start my 21 day pre-op liquid diet tomorrow... Holy sheet :) that means surgery is in 22 days!!! I went shopping and bought absolutely everything I need for this as well as the items I will need post-op. I also bought items that are healthy and easy to cook for my family. I think that's going to be the tough part. Being a stay at home mom with a hungry little guy might be trying during this journey.

The only thing that hinders me most days is my weight... Not being able to fit in my clothes right and finding pregnancy pants comfy is a huge problem... Yup my little guy is almost 19 months... Why am I still wearing them!!!!! I don't suffer from any sickness and I'm not out of breath going up a flight of stairs. But for how long??

I'm 31 years old, and stand 5'7

Highest weight 334

Current weight 322

Goal weight 160

I have a long way to go, and so much life to live.

As you might already know, I'm getting Sleeved by Dr.Alvarez July 5th. So here is to getting my overly large ass in shape and being the best I can be!!!!!

Hi there, I was wondering how your experience was with Dr Pompa? I am looking into this surgery and I'm a bit nervous.

It was great! I had a really positive experience and still go to support group meetings regularity... Hardest part for me has been the mental mind games I play on my self regarding food. Everyday I have to make a conscious effort to eat right but its payed off.. Down 104lbs and feel great! For some reason it doesn't show me that others posted here so sorry for the late response. I would be glad to answer any other questions although it may be quicker if you PM me.

      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...

      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
