Our plan is a mid July surgery date. New to this journey but can't wait to see what it holds for me! I am a very big planner and can't wait to get others support and advice.

Hey my surgery was July 28th w dr pierce! He was awesome & the nursing staff including NA's were the best! Let me know your thoughts. Hw:235 SW:222 left hospital at 322???? but he said not to worry! !

Sorry left hospital a 233lbs and I am 5'6

Hey all!

Had my surgery July 29th. Start weight was 267 and my goal weight is 160! Love the idea of getting to know others going through similar stages!

How did everyone else do with their surgeries?!

Thstcurvygirl...we are very similar. My surgery was 7-31. Starting weight 255 and goal for now is 180 because I'm 6 foot tall and then will reevaluate once I've reached that goal. Things are going good, just ready I chew on something besides jello and Popsicles lol

I am really struggling lately. I am still losing weight and am down from 242 at start of surgery investigation, 232 before start of liquid diet, 217 at time of surgery to 174.4. The problem is I find myself hungry or thinking about food much more often than I was before. I find myself doing the non thinking just shoving of food/chocolate in my mouth. It makes me wish I had had gastric bypass so I had disgusting effects when I ate fats/sweets. As well, I am perpetually tired and irritated. I have a hard time staying awake during work, focusing, and yet when I lay down at night I have a hard time falling asleep. I want to ring my toddlers necks all the time and feel like I cannot stand them especially before that time of the month. I want to tell off random strangers for their stupidity or behavior. I live in a perpetual state of fear of turning back into my old self in regards to food addiction and regaining the weight as I have always done in the past. Has anyone else felt like this? Does anyone have any ideas?
