I just found out my surgery has been pushed to December. My surgeon is injured so I must wait. I'll be submitting to insurance in a few weeks soo hopefully all will go well.

Date is scheduled for Monday Dec. 30th. It all has been happening so fast this past month or so. On my liquid diet, starving, headachey and talking to my liver and telling it to shrink lol

Love that you are talking to your liver. I think I will do the same when I start my 3week liquid diet on tuesday.

My surgery was dec 31. In ft worth texas.

My surgery was December 17th in Dallas, TX.

So I had my surgery Dec 16, 2013. I am now 5 1/2 months post op. My HW was approx 320 (although it was higher when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2011). My SW was 297. My CW is 241. I have had no complications, yay me! I have never dumped, yay me! The only thing i cannot tolerate is sugar, yay me! I'm

Protégé of WLS? Probably not. I am very lucky though. There are many days where i do feel like I am failing this amazing tool I have been given. Then, out of nowhere, another 5 pounds disappears. Amazing how the cycle works.

For me anyway - I will go through major constipation and being severely gassy. I have come to terms with this is my bodies way of 'shedding its uneeded waste' then after an unknown amount of time, I GO POTTY!!! And I am on the losers bench for about a week straight. Then i return to the cycle of stallage, I call it. So for those out there who get discouraged, don't. Our tool does work!! Just don't forget to eat!

One thing though that seems to have me beat, is the fact that my body is in rough shape. It hurts so bad to try and be physically active. My low back is awful. I was hopeful that once i had lost my first 50#, that I could get on track and start a routine - however, 50# has come and gone - and I still cant excersize. I know I would probably almost be at goal if I could. I am ok with this though. My weight is coming off a bit slower than others - but I'd rather it come off a bit slower than so fast I mentally & physically cannot keep up. I do not have a whole lot of the saggy skin, and I am portraying this to losing on the slower side.
