  • The surgery is no more dangerous than gallbladder surgery. We will be fine. We need to do our part. Follow the directions. Get our heads right. Reach out to support groups / psychologists / forum

  • I thought it would be in January - but I was just scheduled with Dr. Cribbins for Dec. 31 in Plano, TX. I start the pre-op diet in a few days. It will be a happy New Year!

  • I felt the same way. I got the call saying i was approved. The skinny girl inside me started screaming. Oh did i tell you i was approved in 2 days. (In my Wendy Williams whisper). Lol

Update! Sleeved on 12/16. Weight on 12/2 295. Surgery date 12/16 282. Current weight 236. I feel amazing!!! So much better!!! Gone from a 26/28 up a loose 18/20. Best decision I ever made!

Amanda. Congrats. That's amazing. I've been sleeved three weeks. Can you share what you eat, how often, how much and any exercises you may perform.

Down 85.5 pounds surgery dec10!!! So freakin excited I'm rocking the shit out of my sleeve!!!

I need to exercise more! I use the elliptical 3 times a week but I need to increase that up to 5 days a week and go longer. I'll be honest, I don't eat much at all. Around 800 calories a day. My biggest issue is beer. I am not suppose to drink anything for a year and I've drank several times. It's empty calories!!! Ugh.

Just came from my 3 month post-op appt. I'm down 52lba since surgery on 12/17/13. I actually just started out working with a trainer last week, after not working out the first three months. I know it's time for me to get myself on track with my exercise but I am still proud of my weightloss thus far.

Congratulations! It's a great feeling.

Lol. Yes beer is empty calories but they have low cal ones. Do you get drinker quicker? I heard you do. I'm working out 3-4 days per week but mine seems to be coming of so slowly. I see inches coming off but the scale isn't reflecting that. I don't eat much either so one would think the weight would be coming off more. Any suggestions?

I'm down 71 as of this morning. The only suggestion I have is be consistent. Chose what you eat very wisely, ESP since you can't eat much. I get into habits where I eat the same thing. For months I have eaten one can of chicken noodle soup. It fills me up and is low in calories! I thought I would be sick of soup after that liquid diet but I still love it. It doesn't hurt my stomach.

I've been walking and lifting weights and eating hardly nothing. I get in plenty of liquids though. I feel it's stalling. I thought the first few months it came off quickly. In three weeks I'm only down ten pounds. Am I doing something wrong?? I see inches melting away but the scale is on slow motion.

From what everyone else says on here, stalls and plateaus are completely normal. I was the same weight for about 3 weeks then it finally started coming off again. Maybe you need to eat more! Your body might think it's starving and it's hanging onto what it has instead of burning it
