Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Excited I came across this group. This is super awesome. I live in Frisco Texas with my husband of 14 yrs this upcoming October 28th and our baby girl Gidget, a 7lb Pom Pom, lol. She is 8. Our 5 year wedding Anniversary is on Oct 28th as well. I'm slated to have my surgery the day after our anniversary. I promise I never planned it that way.

I can't wait to hear the journey of others and share experiences, thoughts, and tips. I've watched all the you tube videos of the surgery and have seen a lot of before and after slide shows. I doubt I will start a video blog, but seems like a good idea.

I'm currently 330 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed in my entire life. I've struggled with every weight loss program over the years. Only to gain back what I lost and then some. I'm tired of being tired. And can't wait to obtain a fresh and healthy start.

Any others having surgery this month? Again, glad I found this group and wish everyone a safe and healthy Weightloss journey.

Thanks,

Bobby

Good luck. My highest weight was 360 and on the 10th of October will be my 3 month and I am at 250. Lost 54 before the sleeve and 56 since the sleeve. Best choice I ever made.

Keep us posted on your progress while on your pre op diet.

      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
