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!!!!

You look amazing and have achieved something you should be so proud of. I started at 254.1 and CW 143 and I know how hard that has been to achieve but to also be able to complete a marathon ! Like I said amazing well done

Thank you!

Hoping we can here from more of the October 2013 people. We would love to hear how your going and what is and isn't working

I awoke this morning to a Facebook notification of a post from 6 years ago (evidently this is a new feature that Facebook has) of a pic I had posted. I literally do not remember myself looking that way. Here is the pic and a current one as well

Wow. I haven't posted here in forever so I thought I'd check in. I'm doing awesome and I had a lower body lift 2 months ago which went well pics
