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....

VSG ON 3....1 2 3 VSG!!!! Let's get it!!!!

70 pounds is amazing. Think about it. 70 pounds!!!!don't compare your self to others . Do you look better? Do you feel better?are you healthier? Are you wearing smaller size clothes?

Be happy for your self. You will get here . Keep the faith.

Thank you. I'm just upset because this has been a long standing issue when I tried to lose weight before surgery. I would get close to onderland and then start regaining weight. I'm upset that I've had over half my stomach removed and still can't get under 200.

Hang in there this is the time you need to be strong because the sleeve WILL get you into onederland. Just try not to stress about it. This is very different from anything you have tried before. If you stick to the plan and keep moving the weight will eventually start to move again. I know because the same is happening to me but I look at my husband who was done at the same time as I was and he is already at goal. Frustrating but a great motivator to me to show me it does work just faster for some.

Hang in there. Probably time to switch something up. It slows down for everyone at a certain point, but if you keep your body guessing you can get it going again.

Goal 150-155 for now!,,

I was stalled at 266 for about 2 months; then all of a sudden I dropped to 254. Not sure what I did differently! LOL Watching my intake, excersizing and trying to do everything right. So close to the 100 lb mark just can't seem to get there. Still a long way to go but happy I've gotten as far as I have.

I have done good so far I'm almost to Onederland! I have had a death of a best friend in March get to me I was really messed up. I knew she loved life and was happy with my journey and I came to far to give up. I got myself back in stride now hopefully I can get to Onederland soon.
