loved your video! Happy 40th too! I'm Natalie, 47, 5'3' 219 lbs. Live in Kentucky. Mother of 3 grown children, grandmother to 4 beautiful little ones all under 4 yrs old. Was told August would be my sleeve month, but looks like September. :( cause of waiting for approval after my last appointment I guess. Can't wait to do this! Until past 8 yrs I was always small, like 125 lbs. But have had 5 back surgeries, unsuccessful and because of depression of not being able to do much, gained lots of weight, and got lots of health issues now too. Like you I am ready to get healthy! I also quit smoking a month ago. Had to for the surgery, but really wanted to for a while. Even after a heart attack last April had started back. But I have a new mind set about things now. I walk on a cane and one of my goals too is to strengthen my back, legs, and feet where I don't need anymore too. I think I will also start a video diary too. Think it will be a great motivational tool. Thanks for the idea

I'm scheduled for July 21. As long as my cpap info is good enough this will be my date. Otherwise it'll be moved back. Have the preop on July 6.

Hi, I recently turned 50. Had the lapband for 4 years which has been removed because of problems with it. Needless to say I have gained back all my weight and then some, making me the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm 5'4 1/2 and my CW is 235ish. My sleeve surgery date is July 27th in NJ. Can't wait to be healthy!!!!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
