Lets stay in touch guys, if there is a forum for us already please point me to it, otherwise, I'll start:

Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

Are you kidding?! You put me to shame with your loss! Wow! Thank you

I didn't know how to do it either until yesterday, and I was going to ask someone but then I went to my App Store. I downloaded PhotoCollage but they had a few to choose from. I wonder how the people who write the date on their pics do it.

Ilol. Men lose faster then women, damn us men lol. You really look great though and don't you just love that are pounds are still shedding :-) lol. I'm going to try to download app now. Hmmm, I wonder how they do add the dates on the pictures...damn these smart ppl!!! Lol
