I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

Surgery was March 23rd and I'm down 52 since then. 66 since January

Three month check-in. I'm down a total of 54 pounds...including pre-op diet. I'm sitting at 196. I have to be honest about two things. 1. I have GOT to start exercising more, I know it will help with my weight loss and how I look! 2. I'm really getting scared of the amount I can eat now, it seems to be so much larger. I will start weighing my food to see just how much I'm eating but my nutritionist not to eat over a cup of food at each meal and I think I'm pretty close!

I'm down 38 since the end of March but I get the cast off my foot tomorrow. I hope being able to put weight on my foot and move more helps me move along faster.

@@janeaddams Just wanted to say that I love your profile picture! Mrs. Beasley! Buffy, Jody, Sissy, Mr. French and Uncle Bill! Boy that's a trip down nostalgia lane! ????

And if you just happened to pick that picture out of the air and have no idea what I'm talking about - never mind. ☺️

Surgery was March 10th and I'm down 103lbs. I actually enjoy shopping for myself now! My shirts were a 3x (some were pushing it) and now my shirts are mostly XL (some XL even being to big). I want to do another 30 lbs at least I'd not 40-50 (taking small baby steps). I really don't miss food. People eat sweets and junk around me and I honestly do not care. Being "thin" and healthy is a way better feeling. I feel so wonderful!

NSV -

- Coaching daughter tball team this summer

- wrapping a normal size towel around me and it fitting!

- people that I know fairly well not seeing me for two months and not recognizing me when they do

- dressing up

- my hair - it feels amazing and looks amazing. I never realized how the food I put in my body could have an effect on my hair! Ever since surgery and better food choices my hair feels/looks good! Like I just went to the salon that day!

- exercising- it's actually a little addictive and the days I don't get my at least 3 mile walk in I feel guilty and crappy.

- my hubby being able to wrap his arms all around my waist with extra room to spare. This feels sooo good!

- my confidence - it has sky rocketed! I walk around my house in a sports bra and don't feel like I have to hide my body in front of my hubby.

I know I have so many more but this is what I can think of off my head right now.

What are some of yours?

Not March but 2-9-16 for meeeeee!!! Yay exactly 11 days b4 my birthday ????congratulations to you

You look amazing, great job!!

Surgery 3/26/15

HW: 302

CW: 228 (-74)

It is sooooo crazy how if I eat bad foods (bad, bad girl), I don't feel full, but a half a scrambled egg or 3 bites of grilled chicken make me belch like crazy because I am FULL. Obviously this is how I hit 302. It's getting a lot easier to live my new life but I could always use more exercise. Lots of great NSVs

Great job, everyone!!!

---- One more thing -- how the H does low-fat vanilla yogurt have 40 grams of sugar and honey roasted peanuts have 4 grams? The sugar content of foods has definitely been eye-opening.

I had a Mrs Beasley doll. I loved family affair. ????

I tried to do the Buffy pigtails, but could never pull it off.

Funny to think this was a Buffy that was pre Vampire Slayer era. My dog is named Buffy. ????

wow, that's so fast.. I thought I was losing pretty fast.. but wow!

Three months and 3 weeks out and today I hit my half way there! 51 pounds lost and 51 more to go! Yeah sleeve!

Hi everyone! So nice to see everyone's progress. I had surgery on March 24th and I'm down 68 lbs. Yay. I'm too need to start exercising! That's a big hurdle for me! I feel so much better. I can't believe how much easier it is to move around. So very happy! I think I have about 20 more pounds to lose and then I'll see how I feel about where I'm at. Question for you guys. Do you have anything you can't eat? For me, it's scones. So strange! It feels like a rock in my belly and then my stomach is cranky for days afterwards. Like everything I eat makes me feel bad...almost a little nauseous. Just wondering if you guys suffer from the same thing.

Only thing that hasn't sat well with my tummy is tortilla. But I don't know if I took too big of a bite or just didn't chew it enough. I'll try again at a later date. But so far everything else seems to sit well.
